Book excerpt: “This is a rare thing: an original, intelligent novel that’s not just a perfect summer beach read, but one that deserves serious awards consideration as well. Put down your phone and pick it up. . . . A major accomplishment.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the co-creator of How I Met Your Mother, a hilarious and thought-provoking debut novel set in New York City, following an unforgettable cast of characters as they navigate life, love, loss, ambition, and spirituality—without ever looking up from their phones It’s the summer of 2015, and Alice Quick needs to get to work. She’s twenty-eight years old, grieving her mother, barely scraping by as a nanny, and freshly kicked out of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for the MCAT, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor . . . but in the Age of Distraction, the distractions are so distracting. There’s her tech millionaire brother’s religious awakening. His picture-perfect wife’s emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate’s thirst for adventure. And, of course, there’s the biggest distraction of all: love. From within the story of one summer in one woman’s life, a tapestry of characters is unearthed, tied to one another by threads both seen and unseen. Filled with all the warmth, humor, and heart that gained How I Met Your Mother its cult following, The Mutual Friend captures in sparkling detail the chaos of contemporary life—a life lived simultaneously in two different worlds, the physical one and the one behind our screens—and reveals how connected we all truly are.

Download or read book The Book of Texas Bays written by James B. Blackburn and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a dazzling tribute to the Texas coast, conservationist and lawyer Jim Blackburn has teamed with photographer Jim Olive to give us the most intimate and important portrait yet of Texas bays and of those who work for their wise use and preservation. While giving life and sustenance to plants, animals, and people, the bays and estuaries of Texas have other stories to tell—about freshwater inflows, deep port construction, disappearing oyster beds, beach resorts, industrial pollution, and more. At a certain point, each story brings opposing forces into the courtroom for vigorous debates on the future of some of our most valuable and irreplaceable resources. The Book of Texas Bays is a personal account of legal battles won and lost, but it is also a fine work of natural history by someone who has a deep spiritual connection to the Texas coast and all it has to offer. Jim Olive’s stunning photographs present us with a dramatic perspective of our relationship with the Gulf and remind us of both the grandness and the fragility of our coastal treasures.

Book excerpt: For the settlers who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, singing psalms in praise of God was a fundamental part of worship. Unsatisfied with existing translations (which they felt put more stake in poetry than piety) the pilgrims elected a panel of 30 clergymen, including well-known ministers Richard Mather, John Eliot, and Thomas Weld, to put together a new translation. In 1640, they produced The Bay Psalm Book-the first book ever published in the American Colonies.

She’s surprised to learn that Mitch, her high school boyfriend, is also back – and now he’s the Sheriff. Mitch wants to rekindle their romance, but the easygoing boy Penny dated is now a Navy veteran with a bossy streak – just the kind of guy she promised herself to avoid at all costs. With circumstances – and a matchmaker daughter – throwing them together, will Penny be able to give Mitch a second chance? Fresh as a Daisy Opposites attract – or they repel. Retired from the military, Red O’Brian is starting a new chapter in his life by opening a tattoo shop on the Oregon coast. He figures his small business will be a perfect fit for the quirky beach town of Diamond Bay. But there’s one obstacle in his way – Daisy Hunnicutt. The conservative Town Services Manager is sure that a tattoo shop will bring nothing but crime and trouble to the small town she loves. When Daisy denies Red’s business permit, Red goes to battle – for his business and his heart. Daisy has no interest in dating an alpha male, no matter how hot he is. She has worked hard to leave her past behind and become a strong, independent woman.

After she healed herself with alternative medicine, she reinvents herself as a medical intuitive and herbalist and starts over in the small beach town of Diamond Bay. Surgeon John White thinks alternative medicine is nonsense. The last thing the doctor wants is his patients delaying care while they go to some witch doctor and try to heal themselves with herbs and energy work. When life – and a crazy puppy – keep putting them into each other’s path, Rain and John realize that they may be opposites, but there’s definitely something between them. They could learn to like each other and maybe find love, if only Rain would stop working with his patients…. Buy your copy of “Diamond Bay” today.
