Panic of Girls Blondie Debbie is back…Even after five decades of the
pivotal punk-rock band, we still can’t get enough of the tousle-haired enigma. Panic of Girls will mark the band’s ninth studio album and their first released in eight years.

Christopher And His Kind Based on the life of writer Christopher Isherwood, this book is a fascinating glimpse into the decadent and politically unstable world of 1930s Berlin. The young, wide-eyed Christopher (Matt Smith of TV’s Doctor Who) escapes the ever-repressive English society and arrives in Berlin at a time when the bawdy cabaret scene was in full swing. Thrown into the thriving gay subculture present there, he embarks on a potent journey of self- discovery amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Berlin’s nightlife and the impending rise of dark, Nazi politics.

To top it all of he’s in the center of a school battle about whether to introduce intelligent design into the science curriculum.

Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts By Mitzi Szereto Imagine if Jane Austen had written the opening line of her satirical novel Pride and Prejudice this way: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good romp and a good mate—although not nec- essarily from the same person or from the opposite sex,” and its implications. In this re-imagined version of the classic, Mr. Darcy has never been more devilish and the chaste Elizabeth never more heated. This scandalous romance is retold with a deeply erotic theme, one that has all the characters dreaming of and acting on hidden lusts. Shame on you, Mr.Darcy! Available: July 1
