King of Pride (Kings of Sin) by Ana H...
She's his opposite in every way . . . and the greatest temptation he's ever known.
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.
With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
Isabella is everything he shouldn't want, but with every look and every touch, he's tempted to break all his rules . . . and claim her as his own.

Soon, a legion of overlooked housewives find themselves daring to change the status quo. One molecule at a time.
Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes b...
In 1897, Britain sent a punitive expedition to the Kingdom of Benin, in what is today Nigeria, in retaliation for the killing of seven British officials and traders. British soldiers and sailors captured Benin, exiled its king and annexed the territory.
They also made off with some of Africa’s greatest works of art.
The ‘Benin Bronzes’ are now amongst the most admired and valuable artworks in the world. But seeing them in the British Museum today is, in the words of one Benin City artist, like ‘visiting relatives behind bars’. In a time of huge controversy about the legacy of empire, racial justice and the future of museums, what does the future hold for the Bronzes?
Perspective
As human beings it's in our nature to have expectations and a picture of the life and the people we want to have in our life. Because of those expectations and that picture we have, our emotions and feelings easily deceive us when we meet someone or something close to what we want. We tend to compromise and lose parts of ourselves in order to keep what we thought we deserve or at least prayed for.- Monalisa Mariah Liabunya

Big Girl Goals Guide
The Mindset of a Successful Student
It is clear that everyone wants to succeed; no one wants to fail, and no one wants to live a low-class life. Every student wants good grades; nobody wants to fail exams. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Why is failure more common than success, yet no one wishes to fail? Why is there a mismatch between what we want from life and what we get?
Inspired by the urge to answer the above questions, I decided to write this book with the hope that by addressing them, I would assist individuals aspiring for growth, those who are stuck at one point without noticeable progress, and highly ambitious people looking for guidance on where to direct their energy.
Though the book is written with students at the heart of it, it will open the eyes of everyone who flips through the pages. I share a deep conviction that great success is reserved to those who infinitely seek knowledge and abide by the principles of success. Highly accomplished men and women are therefore great students of life.
Join me on an engaging journey towards an eye opening knowledge expedition.
