![]() ![]() The extraordinary, ground breaking New York Times bestsellers The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, along with the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay, are available for the first time ever in a beautiful boxset edition. Stunning, gripping, and powerful. The trilogy is now complete! The Hunger Games (First Book of the Trilogy): In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before -- and survive is something she must do. |
![]() ![]() Can Miss Julia spring J. D. Pickens from a sheriff's clutches and investigate a cult-plus keep up appearances as a proper Southern lady? Miss Julia simply can't abide sitting idle. With young Lloyd moving out and husband Sam off to the Holy Land for two weeks, Miss Julia's feeling restless already. Maybe it's time for that overdue home makeover. But before she can even pick a color scheme, Miss Julia must race to the rescue of Hazel Marie's new husband. J.D. has gone missing while on his latest private investigation job. And police in West Virginia have detained an injured man fitting his description. Now it's up to Miss Julia and Etta Mae to free him before he cusses himself into a jail cell. Back in Abbotsville, wealthy eccentric Agnes Whitman has returned to town with a following of misfits. Could they be a religious cult set on converting the locals? And will Miss Julia get back in time to stop them? One thing's for sure: she won't waste time watching paint dry-no matter which shade of beige is the latest rage. |
![]() ![]() "A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe." -- Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed -- a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back. Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery -- and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. |

![]() ![]() A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball ... Whatever happened to Calico Joe? In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever. In John Grisham’s new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it’s what happens off the field that makes Calico Joe a classic. |

When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind -- until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

![]() ![]() Author Michael Cogdill's Bio: I was born a fairly poor and relatively redneck child in Asheville, North Carolina, June 11, 1961 -- the son of a truck driver and a mill worker. I'm extremely proud of my working-people roots, drawing on their deep wisdom and life lessons in my reporting, writing and public speaking. I'm also, thanks to my parents' devotion to higher education, a cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville with a degree in communications, emphasis on the liberal arts. I married Jill Kremer in 1985 -- the best decision of my life -- and together we've founded a company, Cracker the Crab LLC, publishing children's literature and offering a product line with emphasis on raising self-esteem in the young. I currently anchor the 6:00 and 11:00 news weeknights on WYFF News 4, NBC in the western Carolinas and Georgia. |
