Zander is making the right decisions to fight the indifference that has shaped his life. When one of those decisions leaves him temporarily homeless, he never expected to gain a new friend. Nessa is real, she’s honest, and she believes in him. Zander longs to be authentic. He’s been pretending, playing a part, for as long as he can remember. But Nessa is pretending, too. Pretending she isn’t exhausted, that the world isn’t too loud, and that she doesn’t have a book full of notes that might explain why she’s always been a little different. As she's learning to trust herself, she might even realise that she doesn't need to hide who she is. All The Wrong Shelves can be read as a standalone. It’s book two in The Without Filter Series. All The Wrong Shelves is a low-angst, slow burn, slightly forbidden (brother’s best friend), new adult romance, and it takes place in Copenhagen. It’s an own-voices story with a heroine who realises she's autistic, written by an autistic author.

Download or read book Man Struggling With Umbrella written by Pj MacNamara and published by Austin Macauley. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EGOTIST CIRCUMVENTS TIME-TRAVELLER PRINCIPLE! " . . . Art and Ego are impossible to separate. We could argue all day and all night about what's Art and what isn't and who's feeding his Ego and who isn't - but even Plato and Socrates could tell you (if they were still with us, ) that an Entertainer can be proven to have a limited shelf-life beyond which his market value will be reduced exponentially, whereas an Artist can't. If that's the only way to tell the difference then to spot an Artist you need hindsight, but I'm not so sure it is, and I have a couple of pointers of my own: "All Artists have a tendency to believe that if they flog their words, colours, sounds, designs or blocks of stone for long enough they will somehow find themselves a little closer to re-assembling their broken mirrors and seeing in them exactly what it is that compels them to pick so much fruit. Maybe it's God, but my guess is it's the Ego, and if Art only exists to feed it, who else but an Egotist could appreciate the crowning irony of 3rd Person, which while claiming it isn't Egotistical allows its users the delusion of Omnipresence? "All Artists are both broken up and Egotistical but they quite often don't have much else in common with each other so, as the old saying goes, if you want to know an Artist, look at his Art!"

Download or read book Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why written by Alexandra Petri and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the Thurber Prize With new essays on the crises of 2020 “Amazing.” —Amy Schumer In Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why, acclaimed Washington Post satirist Alexandra Petri offers perfectly logical, reassuring reasons for everything that has happened in recent American politics that will in no way unsettle your worldview. In essays both new and adapted from her viral columns, Petri reports that the Trump administration was as competent as it was uncorrupted, white supremacy has never been less rampant, and men have been silenced for too long. The “woman card” is a powerful card to play! Q-Anon makes perfect sense! This Panglossian venture into our swampy present offers a virtuosic first draft of history that chronicles the chaotic half-decade from the twilight of the Obama years to the final gasp of the Trump administration. “One of the difficulties of being alive today,” Petri notes, “is that everything is absurd but fewer and fewer things are funny.” Written with devastating wit that reveals a persistent, perhaps manic optimism about her benighted country, Petri’s essays have become iconic expressions of rage and anger, read and liked and shared by hundreds of thousands of people. Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why shows why she has emerged as the preeminent political satirist of her generation.

Book excerpt: "Brownlee writes with all the breathless excitement and excruciating longing of a first love, further complicated by the forbidden nature of their romance. . . One of the most believable love triangles on the page in ages."--Entertainment Weekly An attraction between foster siblings sets fire to forbidden love in this contemporary reimagining of Wuthering Heights. Emma’s life has always gone according to her very careful plans. But things take a turn toward the unexpected when she falls in love for the first time with the one person in the world who’s off-limits: her new foster brother, the gorgeous and tormented Dylan McAndrews. Meanwhile, Emma’s AP English class is reading Wuthering Heights, and she’s been assigned to echo Emily Bronte’s style in an epistolary format. With irrepressible feelings and no one to confide in, she’s got a lot to write about. Distraught by the escalating intensity of their mutual attraction, Emma and Dylan try to constrain their romance to the page—for fear of threatening Dylan’s chances at being adopted into a loving home. But the strength of first love is all-consuming, and they soon get enveloped in a passionate, secretive relationship with a very uncertain outcome. Tiffany Brownlee's Wrong in All the Right Ways marks the exciting debut of a fresh voice in contemporary teen fiction. Christy Ottaviano Books

Right up until the moment he discovers wonderfully unexpected versions of his family, his career, and the woman who may just be the love of his life. Now Tom faces an impossible choice. Go back to his perfect but loveless life. Or stay in our messy reality with a soulmate by his side.

Filled with humor and heart and packed with insight, intelligence, and mind-bending invention, All Our Wrong Todays is a powerful and moving story of life, loss, and love.
