Book One Bright Day in the Middle of the Night

Download or read book One Bright Day in the Middle of the Night written by Ptr J.D. Swanson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of the book is all true. It is easy to look back and see the pattern of how your life occurrences go after they happen. If you are not careful, you might learn something after reading how my life was impacted. This could and will happen to you also. If you think there is any way possible that if you believe and speak out loud that someone is listening, you are 100 percent correct. You do not have to believe me; the easiest, most positive way is to believe for yourself. You do not have to change anything; just as you are yourself, ask questions. Know that by finding peace and talking on a regular basis to someone who died just so you could have freedom. It is very simple, not complicated at all; those eight million minutes you spent on your phone, give it up a little. Get the app. Or read a little. If you're not careful, there might possibly be a miracle or so with your name on it. When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). May the faith be with you.

Book Presenting Harry Mazer

Download or read book Presenting Harry Mazer written by Arthea J. S. Reed and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Presenting Harry Mazer, Arthea J.S. Reed posits that the impression of authenticity so striking in Harry Mazer's characters is a product of the writer's inner world: a rich territory of the imagination that sometimes conflicts sharply with tradition. Exploration of this inner world - through interviews with Mazer, surveys of the criticism, appraisals of the published works, and research into unpublished primary material - forms the core of Reed's study, the first biocritical approach to Mazer's life and works. A superbly limned biographical overview reveals to readers the significant people and events that have shaped Mazer's fiction, tracing parallels between several of his characters and Mazer's own parents, his wife, and the writer himself. Thematically arranged chapters offer probing readings of the novels, treating such topics as separation, connection, and identity, as well as the Mazers' own life together and their professional partnership.

Download or read book The Bright Lands written by John Fram and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Best Book of 2020 from Library Journal, CrimeReads, and BookPage “Marks the debut of an already accomplished novelist.” —John Banville The town of Bentley holds two things dear: its football, and its secrets. But when star quarterback Dylan Whitley goes missing, an unremitting fear grips this remote corner of Texas. Joel Whitley was shamed out of conservative Bentley ten years ago, and while he’s finally made a life for himself as a gay man in New York, his younger brother’s disappearance soon brings him back to a place he thought he’d escaped for good. Meanwhile, Sheriff’s Deputy Starsha Clark stayed in Bentley; Joel’s return brings back painful memories—not to mention questions—about her own missing brother. And in the high school hallways, Dylan’s friends begin to suspect that their classmates know far more than they’re telling the police. Together, these unlikely allies will stir up secrets their town has long tried to ignore, drawing the attention of dangerous men who will stop at nothing to see that their crimes stay buried. But no one is quite prepared to face the darkness that’s begun to haunt their nightmares, whispering about a place long thought to be nothing but an urban legend: an empty night, a flicker of light on the horizon—The Bright Lands. Shocking, twisty and relentlessly suspenseful, John Fram’s debut is a heart-pounding story about old secrets, modern anxieties and the price young men pay for glory.

All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . .

Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined—and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will. The only person Cordelia can trust is ­Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets. Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the ­illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall—together and apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant New York Times Bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying fantasy romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard. A desperate prince. A daring outlaw. A dangerous flirtation. In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need. In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King's Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly--with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King's grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom's best hope for survival. But when an act of unspeakable cruelty brings the royal and the outlaw face to face, the natural enemies are faced with an impossible choice--and a surprising spark. Will they follow their instincts to destroy each other? Or will they save the kingdom together . . . and let that spark ignite?

Book Reading Programs for Young Adults

Download or read book Reading Programs for Young Adults written by Martha Seif Simpson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School and public libraries often provide programs and activities for children in preschool through the sixth grade, but there is little available to young adults. For them, libraries become a place for work—the place to research an assignment or find a book for a report—but the thought of the library as a place for enjoyment is lost. So how do librarians recapture the interest of teenagers? This just might be the answer. Here you will find theme-based units (such as Cartoon Cavalcade, Log On at the Library, Go in Style, Cruising the Mall, Space Shots, Teens on TV, and 44 others) that are designed for young adults. Each includes a display idea, suggestions for local sponsorship of prizes, a program game to encourage participation, 10 theme-related activities, curriculum tie-in activities, sample questions for use in trivia games or scavenger hunts, ideas for activity sheets, a bibliography of related works, and a list of theme-related films. The units are highly flexible, allowing any public or school library to adapt them to their particular needs.
