    Paperback. Zustand: Good. There is unseen God-given potential in every person. Few fully discover and fulfill it in their lifetime, but it doesn't have to be this way. In From Your Biggest Fan, Jason Patterson shows us how we can cultivate our influence in the lives of those we love and lead and deploy it like Jesus would-for the benefit of everyone but ourselves.Through powerful storytelling, a razor-sharp wit, and personal vulnerability, Jason lays out a new mindset that opens our eyes to the wonders woven into every person and candidly shares his own struggles with insecurity, negativity, and other obstacles that can rob us of the ability to champion those around us.Helping others realize their God-given potential is easier than we imagine. With the simple habits provided in this book, we can become the champions of our families, friends, staff, co-workers, and classmates, helping them discover their true worth and potential as people created by God.We are each God's masterpiece, but how do we discover this in our own lives? The key is to dedicate our lives to uncovering the beauty in the people believe in. It's not giving up on our own potential, it's trusting in the biblical principle of sowing and reaping. If we make our lives about helping everyone else discover their true potential, God will show us ours.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan is a wonderfully funny and touching memoir by author and Bond fan Mark O'Connell whose grandfather Jimmy was a chauffeur for Eon Productions. So while Jimmy was driving around the likes of Cubby Broccoli, Roger Moore and Sean Connery, young Mark also hitched a ride and so his infatuation with all things Bond took hold.Set against a backdrop of the Thatcher era, Duran Duran songs and his own closeted adolescence, O'Connell takes the reader on a humorous, filmic journey where Bond films fire like Bullets.Barbara Broccoli, co-Producer of the Bond movies, calls his memoir 'a completely unique.perspective on the franchise' '.a wholly original take on a subject that has been written about so many times with most authors covering the same topics over and over again. O'Connell's book offers a totally fresh take and is a really enjoyable read, not just for Bond fans but for anyone looking for a nostalgic romp through the pop culture of the last fifty years.' O'Connell writes from the heart on a subject he loves passionately, starting back from his childhood when he would bolt down his tea to watch Roger Moore leaping out of a plane without a parachute. A foreword by long-time fan Mark Gatiss and an afterword by Maud Adams herself, is likely to jog magical memories for many, as well as provoke passionate debate. This is perfect bedtime reading and will remind everyone why they fell in love with James Bond in the first place. …

(Because the SEC deemed it legal for Mississippi State fans to ring their beloved cowbells whenever the ball is not in play.)

    Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Sometimes before you can build something up, you have to burn it down. Fans of Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl and Jennifer Mathieu's Moxie will fall in love with this fiercely crafted YA novel about followers, fame, and fighting for what's right. Lainey wouldn't mind lugging a camera around a video game convention for her mega-famous brother, aka YouTube streamer Codemeister, except for one big problem. He's funny and charming online, but behind closed doors, Cody is a sexist jerk. SamTheBrave came to this year's con with one mission: meeting Codemeister--because getting his idol's attention could be the big break Sam needs. ShadowWillow is already a successful streamer. But when her fans start shipping her with Code, Shadow concocts a plan to turn the rumors to her advantage.  The three teens' paths collide when Lainey records one of Cody's hateful rants on video and decides to spill the truth to her brother's fans--even if that means putting Sam and Shadow in the crosshairs. Told through three relatable voices, this contemporary YA novel from the author of the widely praised Kat and Meg Conquer the World skillfully balances feminism, accountability, and doing the right thing--even when it hurts.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Good. A fervent baseball fan since the age of ten, Eric Kabakoff visited the home park of every major league baseball team to see up close how each team tries to stir up the passions of its fans. In the years between his first-ever ballgame in Philadelphia and the last of his quest in Tampa, he had seen baseball in four different decades: from the 26-team 1980's to the current 30 teams of the 2010's. He did the Tomahawk Chop in Atlanta, cursed out the Rally Monkey in Anaheim, and gave the controversial Barry Bonds a standing ovation in San Francisco. He absorbed Dodger Dogs, Philadelphia Cheesesteaks and Kansas City Barbeque. Eric was able to see everything up close.from the stadiums and local culture to food and team histories. From Rally Caps in Detroit to Rain Delays in Miami to Racing Sausages in Milwaukee, every major-league team adds something different to the collection of statistics and memories that we call the National Pastime.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Brent Spiner's explosive and hilarious novel is a personal look at the slightly askew relationship between a celebrity and his fans. If the Coen Brothers were to make a Star Trek movie, involving the complexity of fan obsession and sci-fi, this noir comedy might just be the one. Set in 1991, just as Star Trek: The Next Generation has rocketed the cast to global fame, the young and impressionable actor Brent Spiner receives a mysterious package and a series of disturbing letters, that take him on a terrifying and bizarre journey that enlists Paramount Security, the LAPD, and even the FBI in putting a stop to the danger that has his life and career hanging in the balance. Featuring a cast of characters from Patrick Stewart to LeVar Burton to Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, to some completely imagined, this is the fictional autobiography that takes readers into the life of Brent Spiner, and tells an amazing tale about the trappings of celebrity and the fear he has carried with him his entire life. Fan Fiction is a zany love letter to a world in which we all participate, the phenomenon of "Fandom.".…

    Paperback. Zustand: Good. From his perspective as a journalist and a true fan, Bob Costas, NBC's award-winning broadcaster, shares his unflinching views on the forces that are diminishing the appeal of major league baseball and proposes realistic changes that can be made to protect and promote the game's best interests. In this cogent--and provocative--book, Costas examines the growing financial disparities that have resulted in nearly two-thirds of the teams in major league baseball having virtually no chance of contending for the World Series. He argues that those who run baseball have missed the crucial difference between mere change and real progress. And he presents a withering critique of the positions of both the owners and players while providing insights on the wild-card system, the designated-hitter rule, and interleague play. Costas answers each problem he cites with an often innovative, always achievable strategy for restoring genuine competition and rescuing fans from the forces that have diluted the sheer joy of the game. Balanced by Costas's unbridled appreciation for what he calls the moments of authenticity that can still make baseball inspiring, Fair Ball offers a vision of our national pastime as it can be, a game that retains its traditional appeal while initiating thoughtful changes that will allow it to thrive into the next century.…
