Bad Luck Charlie: The Dragon Mage Book 1 (affiliate link)
Charlie had all the luck. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the good kind.
Space Pirates? Check. Aliens? Check. Dragons? Check… Wait a minute, Dragons?
Charlie had thought having his spaceship sucked through a wormhole and crashing on an alien world was bad, which, admittedly, it was. But suddenly his dilemma was taking a very unexpected turn, and one decidedly for the worse.
As crazy as it sounded, it appeared this new galaxy was run not on technology, but magic, and he didn’t have a clue what to do about it. This all should have been impossible. But then, so was wormhole travel—or at least so he had thought, right up until he was pulled into one and was spat out in a distant galaxy. A realm of marvels and dangers the likes of which he’d never imagined. It was enough to make his head spin, and as he faced up to his new reality, Charlie couldn’t help but wonder just how much worse his situation might get before he found his way home.
He shouldn’t have asked.

Lincoln’s Mentors: The Education of a Leader (affiliate link)
In 1849, when Abraham Lincoln returned to Springfield, Illinois, after two seemingly uninspiring years in the U.S. House of Representatives, his political career appeared all but finished. His sense of failure was so great that friends worried about his sanity. Yet within a decade, Lincoln would reenter politics, become a leader of the Republican Party, win the 1860 presidential election, and keep America together during its most perilous period. What accounted for the turnaround?
As Michael J. Gerhardt reveals, Lincoln’s reemergence followed the same path he had taken before, in which he read voraciously and learned from the successes, failures, oratory, and political maneuvering of a surprisingly diverse handful of men, some of whom he had never met but others of whom he knew intimately—Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor, John Todd Stuart, and Orville Browning. From their experiences and his own, Lincoln learned valuable lessons on leadership, mastering party politics, campaigning, conventions, understanding and using executive power, managing a cabinet, speechwriting and oratory, and—what would become his most enduring legacy—developing policies and rhetoric to match a constitutional vision that spoke to the monumental challenges of his time.
