How craigslist champions openness, democracy, and other vanishing principles of the early web
Begun by Craig Newmark as an e-mail to some friends about cool events happening around San Francisco, craigslist is now the leading classifieds service on the planet. It is also a throwback to the early internet. The website has barely seen an upgrade since it launched in 1996. There are no banner ads. The company doesn't profit off your data. An Internet for the People explores how people use craigslist to buy and sell, find work, and find love--and reveals why craigslist is becoming a lonely outpost in an increasingly corporatized web.
Drawing on interviews with craigslist insiders and ordinary users, Jessa Lingel looks at the site's history and values, showing how it has mostly stayed the same while the web around it has become more commercial and far less open. She examines craigslist's legal history, describing the company's courtroom battles over issues of freedom of expression and data privacy, and explains the importance of locality in the social relationships fostered by the site. More than an online garage sale, job board, or dating site, craigslist hold vital lessons for the rest of the web. It is a website that values user privacy over profits, ease of use over slick design, and an ethos of the early web that might just hold the key to a more open, transparent, and democratic internet.
Описание: Retired kindergarten teacher and Lady Captain Beatrice "Bee" Yates is in charge of the Canterbury Golf Club's annual Halloween masquerade party, the Devil's Ball. A storm blows up and wipes out the clubhouse's road, stranding the partygoers at the club for the night, and one of the guests winds up dead at the bottom of a staircase. Everyone assumes a terrible accident occurred in the fatal fall of the vivacious and flirtatious Vanessa, but Bee suspects foul play. The strategically placed golf tees at the top of the staircase seem to have been scattered after her terrible fall.Club members and guests alike are suspects as Bee tries to investigate who could have killed the belle of the Devil's Ball, but she has to keep her suspicions as quiet as a golf professional's tee shot because the social club has money problems. The club needs new members, but no one would join a golf club right after yet another murder.With all the prospective new members and club members huddled in the clubhouse during the howling New England nor'easter, finding out who killed Vanessa becomes imperative before the murderer kills again.

This single dad isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty...
The house across the street was supposed to be mine. The plan was already in place, fix it up then re-sell it. All so I would have enough money to move out west to be with my little girl. But then a last-minute bid stole it from under me.
My new neighbor is infuriating. Georgie's mouthy, full of sass, has legs for days. She's very good at driving me insane. She knows exactly what buttons to press, as if she took a class in how I operate. I suspect it's her version of a defense mechanism, but now I'm left with a shattered dream... and a raging hard-on.
I want her. I need her.
I also kinda hate her.
As much as I try to, I can't keep away.
Georgie's inexperience of handling power tools is going to bring the house down around her. The least I can do is give her a hand. Show her how it's done. Flip her over and nail her to the wall.
And once I get a taste, I'm hooked. Snagged on her jagged soul.
Now I'm torn between starting a new life with my daughter or mending Georgie's bruised heart.

Описание:
For over five years, Lucy Rivers has been estranged from her family. Heartbroken after her mother's death, she was unable to forgive her father's betrayal for remarrying so soon after the tragic event that shook up their lives. And not only that, the marriage put a stop to her budding relationship with her high school sweetheart, Cole Kent, as he was now her new stepbrother.
Lucy sought a new life, leaving her family behind.
However, unwilling to let her go, Cole hunts high and low for years to find Lucy again. And just when Cole's about to give up, by chance her face pops up on a dating app he'd reluctantly signed up to.
Can Cole get Lucy to trust him again? Will Lucy be able to forgive her dad before it's too late?
Описание: How we lost control of the internet--and how to win it back. The internet has become a battleground. Although it was unlikely to live up to the hype and hopes of the 1990s, only the most skeptical cynics could have predicted the World Wide Web as we know it today: commercial, isolating, and full of, even fueled by, bias. This was not inevitable. The Gentrification of the Internet argues that much like our cities, the internet has become gentrified, dominated by the interests of business and capital rather than the interests of the people who use it. Jessa Lingel uses the politics and debates of gentrification to diagnose the massive, systemic problems blighting our contemporary internet: erosions of privacy and individual ownership, small businesses wiped out by wealthy corporations, the ubiquitous paywall. But there are still steps we can take to reclaim the heady possibilities of the early internet. Lingel outlines actions that internet activists and everyday users can take to defend and secure more protections for the individual and to carve out more spaces of freedom for the people--not businesses--online.

Heartbroken, destroyed, and on the edge of despair.
That's how I felt for two years after my wife died, leaving me all alone with our baby.
I sucked it up and kept going for my little girl... but I wasn't living. I was only existing.
Then I met Larkin, my gorgeous blonde neighbor. She's got curves that my hands ache to hold, and toffee-colored eyes that beg me to do unspeakable things to her.
I don't want to want her. I don't want to look at her, and I definitely don't want to long for her.
I want to avoid her.
Except... I can't. Everywhere I go, everything I do, I am brought back to Larkin.
And when we finally cave, falling into bed together... It's f**king explosive and passionate and deep. It feels as essential as breathing.
I'm starting to fall in love with Larkin... but it was never supposed to turn into this.
If I want a future with Larkin, I have to figure out how to let go of the past.
And nothing has ever felt so good and hurt so bad.

Описание:
I'm not a big believer in romance. I'm certainly not the type of woman to get drunk, meet a guy, and run off to Reno to get married.
But Dr. Hottie himself, AKA Jack Stratton, changed all that. Too bad it's all a lie.
Our relationship is as fake as a bad spray tan. It's all to show up our mutual exes, make them realize how much they miss us.
Can I help it if Jack is so ridiculously handsome, simply being near him makes me blush? And when he smiles at me...
Well, maybe I should've nicknamed him Dr. Panty Dropper.
And I admit, part of me is falling head-over-heels in love with him. How can I not be when he keeps telling me we have to spend time together? Keep up the charade. Kiss in private so it looks good when we do it for show.
When my ex finally gets the message a month after our "wedding", he says that he wants me to leave Jack. Start over. I should be happy.
Right?

All I wanted was a one-night stand... one hot, sweaty, uninhibited night with no strings.
The plan? Meet Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome at a bar, and take him home. Check and check.
But I'd never been touched like that, possessed like that... ever.
Daylight strikes, and he's gone. Me? I have the real world to get back to. Not the fantasy he made come true. I put on my tallest heels and get ready to meet my brand new boss.
Only, it's him . I'm assigned to be his personal executive assistant...but all I can do is crave more. Yes, I have a job to do, and it's not what he thinks it is. I'm here to dig into his company's financial records working as an undercover journalist.
Fate may have the last laugh, because I'm not the only one with a craving. My new boss hasn't forgotten last night.
Every glance is heated, and the tension thickens every time I walk into his office.
Long hours, late nights and the two of us forced into close confines... More of that amazingly hot, scream-my-name sex is tempting both of us. We're so close to ripping each others' clothes off, only the what-ifs are holding us back.
Will we both give in? Or will we crave one another forever?

I'm over Jameson. Finished. Done.
He broke up with me, citing his friendship with my big brother. So I washed my hands of him. Heartbroken, I am trying to move on with my life.
But of course, Jameson can't make things easy for me. He's still in my space every chance he gets, taunting me with his soulful eyes and his clever smile. I remember all too well what it felt like to be wrapped in his arms, to be under his big body, to be screaming his name.
I just can't seem to shake him. Every step I take away from him seems to bring us closer together, even though we've been down this road before.
The same forces threaten to rip us apart... unless Jameson and I learn to put love first.
