When Noa closes his eyes on Earth and wakes up on a spaceship called Qriosity just as it’s about to explode, he’s pretty sure things can’t get much weirder. Boy is he wrong. Trapped aboard Qriosity are also DJ and Jenny, neither of whom remember how they got onboard the ship. Together, the three face all the dangers of space, along with murder, aliens, a school dance, and one really, really bad day. But none of this can prepare Noa for the biggest challenge—falling in love. And as Noa’s feelings for DJ deepen, he has to contend not just with the challenges of the present, but also with his memories of the past. However, nothing is what it seems on Qriosity, and the truth will upend all of their lives forever. Love is complicated enough without also trying to stay alive.

I'm friendless. It happens when you discover your best friend has been sleeping with your husband. As if trying to navigate being a single mom and a divorce isn't enough, to complicate my life even more, I can't seem to stay away from the one man who's constantly on my mind. He's arrogant, dangerously handsome, and impossible to ignore. He's also not my husband. He's my son's second grade teacher. Ridge Lucas. Like I said, complicated. Everyone remembers when Ridge left town, but nobody knows his intentions now that he's back and looking for the girl he left behind. Love is complicated. She was the good girl, the town sweetheart. She never once looked my way, despite my efforts to get her attention. Everything I did was to get her to notice me, until she finally did, and I let the chance slip through my hands. She chose the all-star football player over the troubled bad boy. I can't say I blame her. Ten years ago, I left town and turned my world upside down. Now that I'm back, I'm wearing down her defense, and she's questioning everything she thought she knew about love. She's about to find out the good guy isn't always the right choice.

Download or read book The Taste of Sweet written by Joanne Chen and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2008-03-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dismissed as déclassé by gourmands, blamed for the scourge of obesity, and yet loved by all, the taste of sweet has long been at the center of both controversy and celebration. For anyone who has ever felt conflicted about a cupcake, this is a book to sink your teeth into. In The Taste of Sweet, unabashed dessert lover Joanne Chen takes us on an unexpected adventure into the nature of a taste you thought you knew and reveals a world you never imagined. Sweet is complicated, our individual relationships with it shaped as much by childhood memories and clever marketing as the actual sensation of the confection on the tongue. How did organic honey become a luxury while high-fructose corn syrup has been demonized? Why do Americans think of sweets as a guilty pleasure when other cultures just enjoy them? What new sweetener, destined to change the very definition of the word sweet, is being perfected right now in labs around the world? Chen finds the answers by visiting sensory scientists who study taste buds, horticulturalists who are out to breed the perfect strawberry, and educators who are researching the link between class and obesity. Along the way she sheds new light on a familiar taste by exploring the historical sweetscape through the banquet tables of emperors, the pie safes of American pioneers, the corporate giants that exist to fulfill our every sweet wish, and the desserts that have delighted her throughout the years. This fabulously entertaining story of sweet will change the way you think about your next cookie.

Download or read book A Complicated Kindness written by Miriam Toews and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award In this stunning coming-of-age novel, the award-winning author of Women Talking balances grief and hope in the voice of a witty, beleaguered teenager whose family is shattered by fundamentalist Christianity "Half of our family, the better–looking half, is missing," Nomi Nickel tells us at the beginning of A Complicated Kindness. Left alone with her sad, peculiar father, her days are spent piecing together why her mother and sister have disappeared and contemplating her inevitable career at Happy Family Farms, a chicken slaughterhouse on the outskirts of East Village. Not the East Village in New York City where Nomi would prefer to live, but an oppressive town founded by Mennonites on the cold, flat plains of Manitoba, Canada. This darkly funny novel is the world according to the unforgettable Nomi, a bewildered and wry sixteen–year–old trapped in a town governed by fundamentalist religion and in the shattered remains of a family it destroyed. In Nomi's droll, refreshing voice, we're told the story of an eccentric, loving family that falls apart as each member lands on a collision course with the only community any of them have ever known. A work of fierce humor and tragedy by a writer who has taken the American market by storm, this searing, tender, comic testament to family love will break your heart. “Brilliant.” —New York Times Book Review “A darkly funny and provocative novel.” —O, the Oprah Magazine
Download or read book We Are the Ants written by Shaun David Hutchinson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) From the “author to watch” (Kirkus Reviews) of The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley comes an “equal parts sarcastic and profound” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) novel about a teenage boy who must decide whether or not the world is worth saving. Henry Denton has spent years being periodically abducted by aliens. Then the aliens give him an ultimatum: The world will end in 144 days, and all Henry has to do to stop it is push a big red button. Only he isn’t sure he wants to. After all, life hasn’t been great for Henry. His mom is a struggling waitress held together by a thin layer of cigarette smoke. His brother is a jobless dropout who just knocked someone up. His grandmother is slowly losing herself to Alzheimer’s. And Henry is still dealing with the grief of his boyfriend’s suicide last year. Wiping the slate clean sounds like a pretty good choice to him. But Henry is a scientist first, and facing the question thoroughly and logically, he begins to look for pros and cons: in the bully who is his perpetual one-night stand, in the best friend who betrayed him, in the brilliant and mysterious boy who walked into the wrong class. Weighing the pain and the joy that surrounds him, Henry is left with the ultimate choice: push the button and save the planet and everyone on it…or let the world—and his pain—be destroyed forever.
Download or read book It s Not Complicated written by Ramona A. Jackson-Woods and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s Not Complicated! is addressed to fathers, mothers, children, and those desiring to marry and become fathers and mothers who will raise, train, and discipline their children (especially boys) to be mature—not placeholders, but healthy, responsible, and independent citizens who are not looking for an easy way out, but rather are seeking God’s plan for the prosperity (economic, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being) of their family. The history of the world will tell us just how destructive it is to have people out of place (especially in a family). In other words, the family unit is continuing to break down while the mother and/or father is blaming the other for the destruction they see, instead of taking responsibility to ensure their children are healed of the wounds often caused by the ignorance of the parent(s). God has a plan for man (male and female), the family, and the society. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare (peace) and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV). Until we do it his way, devastation and death will continue to occur in our homes and communities because of the ignorance we perpetuate when we hear disrespectful words and see disrespectful behavior emanating from our children, youth, and young adults. No society can continue its existence without the male assuming his God-given, God-ordained responsibility to provide leadership for his family in a God-honoring, grace-filled manner that’s motivated by love. Without proper instruction and encouragement, we cannot continue as a healthy people or a sound healthy community.

Download or read book A Complicated Love Story written by V. George Shillington and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourth Gospel, otherwise known as the gospel of the beloved disciple of Jesus, has captivated the imagination of myriads of people worldwide. Echoing one of its major themes, namely water, this gospel has been described as one in which a child can wade and an elephant can swim. Of the four gospels in the New Testament, this one stands out from the other three at several levels. In the Fourth Gospel the extraordinary acts of Jesus are labeled consistently as signs, not miracles. In the second major part, however, the signs give way to reality found uniquely in the life and death of Jesus on behalf of benighted humanity. He is the true light that enlightens every one and every thing. There are no parables in the Fourth Gospel. A parable is something that is literally thrown alongside the ordinary world of the day. The Fourth Evangelist focuses on truth, one of its major themes. There are puzzling pieces mixed in with the good news, which serves to make this gospel captivating to the reader. Through all of the complex twists and turns in this gospel the theme of love shines forth brilliantly, especially so in the second half.

A moving testament to the diversity and depths of love.” —Publishers Weekly You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be swept away—in less time than it takes to read this paragraph.

An electrician lights up a woman’s life, a sister longs for her homeless brother, strangers dream of what might have been. Love lost, found and reclaimed.
