Book excerpt: A tragicomic story of bad dates, bad news, bad performances, and one girl's determination to find the funny in high school from the author of Denton Little's Deathdate. Winnie Friedman has been waiting for the world to catch on to what she already knows: she's hilarious. It might be a long wait, though. After bombing a stand-up set at her own bat mitzvah, Winnie has kept her jokes to herself. Well, to herself and her dad, a former comedian and her inspiration. Then, on the second day of tenth grade, the funniest guy in school actually laughs at a comment she makes in the lunch line and asks her to join the improv troupe. Maybe he's even . . . flirting? Just when Winnie's ready to say yes to comedy again, her father reveals that he's been diagnosed with ALS. That is . . . not funny. Her dad's still making jokes, though, which feels like a good thing. And Winnie's prepared to be his straight man if that's what he wants. But is it what he needs? Caught up in a spiral of epically bad dates, bad news, and bad performances, Winnie's struggling to see the humor in it all. But finding a way to laugh is exactly what will see her through. **A Junior Library Guild Selection**

Download or read book The Secret Language of Cravings written by Alexandra Amor and published by Fat Head Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you understand what your food cravings are trying to tell you? Are you dealing with an unwanted overeating or binge-eating habit? Have you tried to curb your cravings with diets and restrictive eating plans, only to fail again and again? Consider this: the reason diets haven’t worked for you is that they’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. What if your cravings are trying to communicate something important? And what if the way to resolve them is to listen what they have to say? Contrary to what most modern self-help and dieting approaches say, cravings are not a broken part of you that needs to be fixed. The Secret Language of Cravings will help to teach you what those cravings are trying to tell you, and how they are attempting to alert you to your perfect human design. For 30+ years, author Alexandra Amor searched for answers about why she had a persistent overeating habit. All the self-help books she read, all the classes she took, all the therapy she had and all the diets she tried didn’t even begin to solve the problem. In fact, despite all that work and effort, her cravings got worse. Then in 2017, she stumbled across a little-known field of psychology that points us away from the pathologization of our human experience and instead looks toward our innate well-being and perfect human design. After decades of trying to suppress, manage, and dominate her food cravings, Amor instead began to listen to them, and to speak their language. With this, everything changed. If you’d like to resolve your overeating or binge-eating habit once and for all, without willpower or white knuckles, this book will help you do that by teaching you to understand the secret language of cravings.
