About Good-Bye to All That In this autobiography, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the monumental and universal loss of innocence that occurred as a result of the First World War. Written after the war and as he was leaving his birthplace, he thought, forever, Good-Bye to All That bids farewell not only to England and his English family and friends, but also to a way of life. Tracing his upbringing from his solidly middle-class Victorian childhood through his entry into the war at age twenty-one as a patriotic captain in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, this dramatic, poignant, often wry autobiography goes on to depict the horrors and disillusionment of the Great War, from life in the trenches and the loss of dear friends, to the stupidity of government bureaucracy and the absurdity of English class stratification. Paul Fussell has hailed it as ""the best memoir of the First World War"" and has written the introduction to this new edition that marks the eightieth anniversary of the end of the war. An enormous success when it was first issued, it continues to find new readers in the thousands each year and has earned its designation as a true classic.
So much gorgeousness! Squeeeeee….eee…. I liked this episode but would have preferred a different ending. Time will tell how the story went, so will have to wait and see.
**Steamy, romantic suspense novel by NYT and USA TODAY Bestselling author, L.P. DOVER. Find out what happens in the conclusion to Tyler's story.** She's what he wants ... but she's also his undoing. Through mutual understanding, Tyler's secret affair with Gabriella Reynolds has come to an end. It's a decision that not only saves their friendship, but it's one that will change his life forever. For the past couple of years, Tyler Rushing has been known as one of the UFC's most memorable and sexy heavyweight fighters. Now he has the chance to win the title and claim the fame he so deserves. He has everything he could ever want until Kacey Andrews walks through the door of his gym, wanting nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, she's brought back into it when Tyler's relentless battle for her heart wins her over, drawing her in. The only problem is that secrets never stay buried forever.
