A bad day for Sunshine / by Jones, Darynda,author.;
"New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones is back with the brand-new snarky, sassy, wickedly fun Sunshine Vicram series! Sheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o' joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol, New Mexico, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose. Del Sol, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers, its strong cups of coffee--and a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff--an election her adorably meddlesome parents entered her in--and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug. But a teenage girl is missing, a kidnapper is on the loose, and all of it's reminding Sunny why she left Del Sol in the first place. Add to that trouble at her daughter's new school and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy, and Sunshine has her hands full. Enter sexy almost-old-flame Levi Ravinder and a hunky US Marshall, both elevens on a scale of one to blazing inferno, and the normally savvy sheriff is quickly in over her head. Now it's up to Sunshine to juggle a few good hunky men, a not-so-nice kidnapping miscreant, and Doug the ever-pesky flasher. And they said coming home would be drama-free"--

In love with the world : a monk's journey through the bardos of living and dying / by Yongey Mingyur,Rinpoche,1976-author.; Tworkov, Helen,author.;
"In 2011, Mingyur Rinpoche was the respected thirty-six-year-old abbot of three monasteries, a world-renowned meditation teacher, the son of an esteemed meditation master, and a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters. In Love with the World begins the night that, without telling anyone of his plan, he slips past the monastery gates alone for the first time in his life and sets forth on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. He wanted to throw off his titles and privileges, give up the protections he had always known, and engage in an "ego-killing mission" in order to explore the deepest aspects of his own being and move beyond the grasping self. Yet he immediately discovers that his training has not prepared him to deal with the stench of the third-class train car to Varanasi, or the filthy people around him, or the screeching noise of the train. He has trouble taking off his monk's robes and pays for a cheap hostel rather than sleep on the streets. Soon he becomes deathly ill from food poisoning--and his journey begins in earnest. His lifelong training has prepared him for facing death, and he must now test the strength of his practice. The invaluable lessons he learns from this near-death experience--how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living--are just what we need to navigate these challenging times. A profoundly moving, unusually candid account by a spiritual master"--

"Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a town council meeting. When traces of aconite--also known as the queen of poisons--are found in his coffee cup, the police realize he was murdered. But who did it? And why? The police bring Judith, Suzie, and Becks in to investigate the murder as civilian advisors right from the start, so they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart's content ... which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure. But this case has the Marlow Murder Club stumped. Who would want to kill the affable mayor of Marlow? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club is about to face their most difficult case yet."--

The franchise : the business of building winning teams / by Custance, Craig,author.;
"Team builders make the biggest decisions in hockey, and indeed in all of sports. They set the culture. They are the ones ultimately responsible for whether a Stanley Cup is raised at the end of the season. In the NHL, it all starts at the top. In this book, journalist Craig Custance takes readers behind the scenes of championship hockey culture where the most impactful (and most secretive) leaders in the NHL operate. For over three years, he has journeyed everywhere to get exclusive time with the most powerful people in hockey: an owner's suite, a private championship ring ceremony, a Pennsylvania country club, a Florida pickleball court, and a bookstore in a northern Michigan resort town, among other locations. In total, the owners, presidents, general managers, and executives featured in this book have won twelve Stanley Cups, an Olympic gold medal and, in one case, led a boycott that changed the sport forever. For hockey fans, there are stories behind memorable trades, the biggest free agent signings and insights into how some of the most successful teams of the last two decades were built."--
