All Played Out
Summary
In the third book in New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cora Carmack's Rusk University series, a good girl is about to find out what happens when she creates the ultimate college bucket list, and she sets her sights on a jock. Antonella "Nell" De Luca is the first in her family to go to college, and on a full ride, too. She's spent three years studying nonstop to make the most of this chance. Now in her senior year at Rusk University, Nell realizes she's seriously lacking a social life. So with the help of her friend, Dylan, she creates The Ultimate College Bucket List, and the first item on her list is to hook up with a jock! Wide receiver Mateo Torres likes to party when he's not on the field. Because as long as things don't get too serious, he can avoid thinking about the ex he lost. Hooking up with Dylan's friend, Nell, is the last thing he should do. She's too much like the girl he spends all his time trying to forget. But when he gets a taste of Nell, he's reluctant to give her up. Being around her almost feels like he's getting a do-over. And he's the perfect person to help Nell drop her inhibitions and complete her bucket list. But as the list draws to a close, they'll both have to decide if what they have is real or all played out.

The Scandal of the Century and Other Writings
Summary
From one of the titans of 20th-century literature, collected here for the first time: a selection of his journalism from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s - work that he considered even more important to his legacy than his universally acclaimed works of fiction. “I don’t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize, but rather for my journalism”, Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career - years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla … his longer, more fiction-like reportage from Paris and Rome … his monthly columns for Spain’s El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be “the best in the world.”
