Micah Summers runs a popular Instagram full of drawings of his numerous imaginary boyfriends (ninety-nine so far)—though he's never had a real boyfriend before. But when a meet-cute with Boy 100 goes wrong, Micah embarks on a Prince Charming-like quest throughout Chicago to find true love—for real this time. Will Boy 100 be the One? Micah is rich, dreamy, and charming. As the “Prince of Chicago,”—the son of local celebrity sports radio host known as the King of Chicago—he has everything going for him. Unfortunately, he’s also the prince of imaginary meet-cutes, since he’s too nervous to actually ask boys out. Instead, Micah draws each crush to share on Instagram with a post about their imaginary dates. Ninety-nine “boyfriends” later, his account is hugely popular, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Boy 100. So is Micah. He’s determined that Boy 100 will be different. This time, Micah will sweep the boy off his feet, for real! So when Micah flirts with a hot boy on the L who’s wearing a vegan leather jacket and lugging a ton of library books, he is sure this is Boy 100. But right before he can make his move and ask for the boy’s number, the guy rushes off the train, leaving behind his pumpkin-embroidered jacket. The jacket holds clues to the boy’s identity, so Micah and his friends set off on a quest to return it. Along the way, Micah will discover that the best relationships aren’t fairy tales. In fact, the perfect fit—and true love—might be closer than he thinks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author, a sparkling novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a "girlfriend") tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.

Book excerpt: Essential reading for business leaders and policymakers, an in-depth investigation of red teaming, the practice of inhabiting the perspective of potential competitors to gain a strategic advantage Red teaming. The concept is as old as the Devil's Advocate, the eleventh-century Vatican official charged with discrediting candidates for sainthood. Today, red teams are used widely in both the public and the private sector by those seeking to better understand the interests, intentions, and capabilities of institutional rivals. In the right circumstances, red teams can yield impressive results, giving businesses an edge over their competition, poking holes in vital intelligence estimates, and troubleshooting dangerous military missions long before boots are on the ground. But not all red teams are created equal; indeed, some cause more damage than they prevent. Drawing on a fascinating range of case studies, Red Team shows not only how to create and empower red teams, but also what to do with the information they produce. In this vivid, deeply-informed account, national security expert Micah Zenko provides the definitive book on this important strategy -- full of vital insights for decision makers of all kinds.

Download or read book Affliction written by Laura Hall and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, at the age of nineteen, Ralph Hall, suicidal, revealed his sexual orientation to his grandmother, knowing she would comfort him. He was out for three years afterwards, until an indiscretion sent him back into the closet. At twenty-four, while in the army, he met and married Irene. The couple made their home on the San Francisco Peninsula and had four children. Ralph was an attentive husband and father—albeit with an intense interest in interior design, flower arranging, and fine objects—and a diligent worker who rose to payroll accountant at Standard Oil. It wasn't until 1975 that Ralph came out to his middle daughter, Laura, telling her that he had once considered his sexuality an aberration, an affliction. She was shocked, as the possibility her father might be gay had never crossed her mind. Irene had known Ralph’s secret for eighteen years, but the two remained married until she died. It was only then that this charismatic man and devoted father, by now in his eighties, could freely express his authentic, gay self. Here, Laura paints a vivid and honest portrait of her beloved father and the effect his secret had on her own life.

Have you ever been eaten by a grue?Then this is the book for you! Something delightful on every page. Escape to a simpler time inside the pages of LevelUP. Interview with the Author Q - Where did the idea for this book come from? A - I grew up in the 80s. I spent weeks freezing my butt off on a paper route, just to afford the latest Atari 2600 cartridge. (But never Adventure--my mom wouldn't allow that one). I set out to write a book that would be "cyberpunk lite" and appeal to a particular set of readers. Around the same time GameLit or if you prefer, LitRPG started taking off. Q - Tell us about the cover and the inspiration for it. A - I worked with a number of designers on various concepts. Some of them were 80s nostalgia to points approaching self-parody. There were a lot of video game references, but I ended up with something more iconic. I wanted a "LevelUP" logo that would look good on a shirt. And those sweet, sweet NES fonts. Mmmmm, memories. Q - Who is your inspiration for Max, the adventure's protagonist? A - I had sketched out a character named Max Root before I even started work on the novel. I've got a thing for characters whose name describe the plot of their story. (Ender's Game, anyone?) And yeah, that's an explicit reference to Max Headroom. From there, his backstory blossomed out. All it was waiting for was the right premise to build a story around. Q - OKQ - So you are working on more books in the series? A - There's a lot of hints here about the wider world the story takes place in. There's an obvious direction for a sequel (sorry, no spoilers here!) but lots of alternate ways things could go too. And astute readers have already keyed in on the possibility of crossover between this and Broken Tablet, my time-travel novel... Q - Why should readers give this series a try? A - Like most everything I put out, it's written for geeks, by a geek. It has a sympathetic main character, and an non-neurotypical secondary character. It certainly echoes certain themes of that blockbuster movie everyone's talking about, but this story takes great pains to go its own way. This book is the antidote, at least temporarily, for all the anxiety and stress going on in the world.Thanks for reading!
