Tampa's Gasparilla Pirate Festival
Pirate history, costumes, and decorated boats and ships have been the center of the famed Gasparilla Pirate Festival for over a century.
Since 1904, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla has staged an annual mock pirate invasion of Tampa, Florida, a tradition that has become known as Gasparilla. The name of the event originated from stories and tales regarding Gasparilla, a legendary pirate who reportedly roamed the Gulf of Mexico on Florida's west coast in the early 1800s.
The sound of cannon fire heard for miles across the Tampa Bay area signals the arrival of the José Gasparilla ship and the beginning of the piratical invasion of Tampa. Thousands of spectators line the waterways to watch the ship and massive boat flotilla make their way to dock at the Tampa Convention Center.
Following the traditional demand for the keys to the city, a parade is staged, the third-largest one-day parade in the country. Tampa's iconic Bayshore Boulevard is lined with several hundred thousand spectators, krewes, and other participants who produce a spectacular parade.
The history committee of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla has provided the historical references for the book, and photographic materials have been obtained from leading institutions, including the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System, the State of Florida Archives, and the University of South Florida Library Special Collections.

Queens of Society: Six Extraordinary Society Hostesses Between the Wars
In the aristocratic circles of early twentieth-century London, the company was as starched as the tablecloths. But a revolution was on the horizon, in the form of six remarkable society hostesses who would change the political, social, and cultural landscape of Britain forever.
Some of these "queens of society," like Lady Sibyl Colefax, were born into high society. Others, like Edinburgh-born Mrs. Ronnie Greville, clambered their way to the top by any means necessary. Lady Nancy Astor and Lady Edith Londonderry were political creatures, becoming, respectively, the first female MP ever elected and the head of the Women's Legion. Lady Emerald Cunard, meanwhile, cultivated artists and royals, playing a pivotal role in Edward VIII's relationship with Wallis Simpson and igniting a scandal that would shake Britain. And American Laura Corrigan just liked a damned good party--the more extravagant, the better.
In an age when the place of women was uncertain, becoming a hostess was not a chore, but a career choice, and these six women presided over London from their dining tables and salons--charming, scheming, and mingling their way through two world wars, the Great Depression, an abdication, a coronation, and an upheaval in class structures that would bring their world to its knees. With a glittering cast of players from the Mitfords to the Mosleys, from millionaires to maharajahs, from film stars to royalty, Queens of Society is the witty, warm, and fascinating story of six women whose influence can still be felt today.

To See Beyond
A globe-spanning essay collection on the human condition from the author James McBride calls "one of the most creative and important nonfiction writers in our era"
Our hyper-informed digital era of climate catastrophe, historically unmatched migration, and genocide confronts us with a terrible conundrum: the pain and struggles of others are more visible than ever, yet hostility and loneliness persist. It often seems that we are on the edge of ruin, and hope, though necessary, is elusive. How can we reconcile ourselves to the world we have made?
In To See Beyond, Anna Badkhen probes the ways we ward off despair as she imagines the language we need for survival. Through engagement with contemporary literature and stories of everyday encounters with people around the world, she brings us closer to understanding how we balance delight and grief, joy and hurt, and choose to embrace life as a form of resistance.

Red Demon
On an isolated planet where unity is as engineered as its people, Jesse seeks the truth behind the slaughter of his family-starting with the immortal who spared him.
A century ago, two human lines nearly wiped each other out rather than acknowledge their shared humanity. But when Jesse's mining town is slaughtered under mysterious circumstances, it's clear ancient bigotries linger, and rebels have access to some magic or tech capable of wide-scale genocide.
The Red Demon bloodied her swords in that massacre-a bioengineered immortal left over from that century old war. Jesse expected to be upholding his empire's fragile peace, not killing her own. Jesse is too optimistic and stubborn to break. Better days are coming-and he's willing to take on an immortal to ensure they do.
Faruhar, the so-called Red Demon, is not the mastermind Jesse expects. Her fragmented mind is ravaged by guilt over crimes she cannot remember committing, and a code impressed on her by a few kind people she cannot forget.
A fast-paced science fantasy with tense fight scenes, a spicy romantic subplot, and a twisty plot that punches you in the feels. Fans of Pierce Brown's Red Rising and R.F. Kuang's Poppy War Trilogy will appreciate this book.
