Bad Baby Names: The Worst True Names Parents Saddled Their Kids With, and You Can Too!
Throughout history, people have named their children truly terrible things, and this book has the proof. Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback combed through U.S. federal census records to find the absolute worst names parents have given their children. The result is this hysterical new take on the baby name book.

Here is a small sample of the hilarious names inside:

Fanny Pack (this is just one of the many Fannys in this book)
Fanny Whiffer (we had to throw in one more Fanny!)
Post Office
Warren Peace
Rubella Graves
Nice Carr
Hell Hellickson

And then there are the names we thought Bart Simpson was making up as he prank called Moe's Tavern-- maybe he was really just looking at the census.
Hugh Jass
Al Caholic
Anita Bath
Amanda Hugginkiss
Maya Buttreeks

This book is also filled with original illustrations and great photos that take a stab at what some of these babies may have looked like. Bad Baby Names is truly a one-of-a-kind book that makes a great gift for a friend, family member, or just yourself. Either way, Bad Baby Names is sure to make you laugh..

Saddled at Sea: A 15,000-Mile Journey to New Zealand by Russian Freighter
What should have been a straightforward five-week journey, crossing two oceans, passing through the Panama canal, and taking in the islands of the South Pacific en route, turns into an epic journey of rough seas, clashing personalities, and crises in the ship’s engine room. And when the ship receives an SOS from a yacht with a heart attack victim on board, it’s all hands on deck for a daring sea rescue. With various delays and detours, five weeks turns into six, then seven, then eight—and while the other passengers are quietly going mad with frustration, Josie develops unusual strategies to cope with the hours of potentially endless tedium on board. As the journey progresses and the ship sails from the freezing seas of the north to the hot and steamy south, so the atmosphere on board approaches boiling point. Safety issues, personal disputes, and unreasonable delays are top of the agenda for the passengers. Will they actually reach New Zealand before someone jumps ship, or is pushed?

Saddled
Getting a passionate man like Rio McCaine to do what she wanted would be like breaking a stallion, Abbie realized It would take a lot of work. Easy enough to change her own appearance--to make herself seem more ladylike than perhaps she was, to present herself as the type of woman a man might want to marry--but to get Rio to do everything she wanted, she'd have to resort to a lie. Or two. And if she wanted to save her sister from the Apaches and keep her inheritance for her own, this half-Comanche gunslinger was the only answer. Still, while Abbie was relatively wily when it came to getting what she wanted, there were a few things that could throw her for a loop. . . like what would happen when her handsome husband realized he'd been tricked? Abbie had a feeling it'd be like riding a bucking bronco--and part of her shivered in pleasure at the thought..
