Download or read book The Crossword Century written by Alan Connor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist and word aficionado salutes the 100-year history and pleasures of crossword puzzles Since its debut in The New York World on December 21, 1913, the crossword puzzle has enjoyed a rich and surprisingly lively existence. Alan Connor, a comic writer known for his exploration of all things crossword in The Guardian, covers every twist and turn: from the 1920s, when crosswords were considered a menace to productive society; to World War II, when they were used to recruit code breakers; to their starring role in a 2008 episode of The Simpsons. He also profiles the colorful characters who make up the interesting and bizarre subculture of crossword constructors and competitive solvers, including Will Shortz, the iconic New York Times puzzle editor who created a crafty crossword that appeared to predict the outcome of a presidential election, and the legions of competitive puzzle solvers who descend on a Connecticut hotel each year in an attempt to be crowned the American puzzle-solving champion. At a time when the printed word is in decline, Connor marvels at the crossword’s seamless transition onto Kindles and iPads, keeping the puzzle one of America’s favorite pastimes. He also explores the way the human brain processes crosswords versus computers that are largely stumped by clues that require wordplay or a simple grasp of humor. A fascinating examination of our most beloved linguistic amusement—and filled with tantalizing crosswords and clues embedded in the text—The Crossword Century is sure to attract the attention of the readers who made Word Freak and Just My Type bestsellers.

Download or read book Twelve Across written by Barbara Delinsky and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A delightful puzzle of a romance from the New York Times–bestselling author who “knows the human heart and its immense capacity to love and to believe” (Observer-Reporter, Washington, Pennsylvania). When crossword puzzle creator Leah Gates loses her Manhattan apartment, her friend, Victoria Lesser, offers her a place to stay. Sure, it’s a remote cabin in middle-of-nowhere, New Hampshire, but it’s a lifesaver for Leah. There’s no reason for her to question Victoria’s generosity—until she arrives during a rainstorm to find the small lodge burned down and in ruins. With nowhere else to turn, Leah makes her way to the closest neighbor, an outdoorsman named Garrick Rodenhiser. Far from being a grizzly, old mountain man, Garrick is extraordinarily handsome—and kind enough to take in a bedraggled stranger for the night. Before long, the two independent, solitary souls find themselves entwined in each other’s lives and . . . not hating it, even when they realize they’re just pawns in one of Victoria’s matchmaking games. Still, there are secrets to be spilled that might bring their cozy confinement to an end—and stop their fresh start in its tracks . . . Praise for Barbara Delinsky “One of today’s quintessential authors of contemporary fiction . . . Delinsky is a joy to read . . . Women’s fiction at its very finest.” —Romantic Times “[An author] of sensitivity and style.” —Publishers Weekly “When you care enough to read the very best, the name of Barbara Delinsky should come immediately to mind . . .

Book excerpt: Hope Davidson meets the man of her dreams, a man on a quest of his lifelong Paper Dream. In pursuit of his ambition, Winn Prichard wrestles with his feelings for Hope, a strong woman of faith. Dare he risk falling in love again? To take another chance at love, Winn loses sight of truth. His mistakes are too burdensome to reveal to her. Will his deceptions destroy her love for him? In 1928, running from failures of the past, Winston Prichard passionately pursues his goal of publishing his own newspaper. Will lack of money, unwise choices, and a weakness for alcohol push his Paper Dreams further from fruition? His continuing difficulties cast doubt about a relationship with Hope Davidson. Should he make her a part of his odyssey? Hope's love for Winn is all encompassing, and she shares his vision; however, discoveries of his transgressions plague her. Maybe her Papa was right when he warned, "If he's a skunk, I hope you see his stripe before it's too late." When each plan crumbles, Hope relies on her faith, yet she questions the wisdom of chasing the aspiration. Hope prays for a secure marriage without secrets. She wonders if desires are personal vanities or if they are placed in our heart by God for His divine purpose.
