Book excerpt: A teenage girl and her gangster father embark on a road trip toward revenge in this award-winning coming-of-age Argentinian noir. Fifteen-year-old Ámbar has never known any parent other than her father, Víctor Mondragón, nor any life other than his. On any given Friday night, Ámbar longs to be at the arcade or a rock concert, but she’s more likely to be patching up Víctor’s latest bullet hole in a dingy motel or creating a new set of fake identities for the both of them. When a tattooed mercenary kills Víctor’s best friend and vows that Víctor is next, father and daughter set off on a joyride across Argentina in search of bloody retribution. But Ámbar’s growing pains hurt worse than her beloved sawed-off shotgun’s kickback as she begins to question the structure of her world. How much is her father not telling her? Could her life ever be different? And will she survive long enough to find out? It’s kill or be killed in this gritty, devastating coming-of-age thriller from the king of Argentine neo-noir.

Book excerpt: A BTS fan favorite! A WALL STREET JOURNAL STORIES THAT CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE PICK * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S STAY HOME AND READ PICK * SALON'S BEST AND BOLDEST * BUSTLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever. This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster. One of the monsters is me. Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends—the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that—but his devoted mother and grandmother provide him with a safe and content life. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh. Then on Christmas Eve—Yunjae’s sixteenth birthday—everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school, and they develop a surprising bond. As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people—including a girl at school—something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life at risk, Yunjae will have the chance to step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become the hero he never thought he would be. Readers of Wonder by R.J. Palaccio and Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig will appreciate this "resonant" story that "gives Yunjae the courage to claim an entirely different story." (Booklist, starred review) Translated from the Korean by Sandy Joosun Lee.

Book excerpt: To most people, the very word grandma conjures up images of old, blue-haired women in a flower-print apron and wearing sensible shoes in the kitchen, baking cookies. But times have changed. In her book Don't Call Me Grandma! A Guide for the 21st-Century Grandmother, author Ilene Leventhal dispels the stereotype of the so-called typical grandmother.

Don't Call Me Grandma! is a handbook for the new generation of grandmothers, as well as mothers and even mothers-in-law. Blue hair has been traded for younger cuts, our baking for trips for fun fast food, and the flower-print aprons for tennis skirts, matching tops, and cute boots. Don't Call Me Grandma! A Guide for the 21st-Century Grandmother shows how to break out of that "old" image, and still bake cookies if you want. You can become someone who knows how to relate to her grandchildren. Your grandchildren will never think of you simply as "grandma" ever again.

Download or read book Red Eyes written by LaFrance Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s hard to make grown-ups listen to you, especially when you’re just eight years old. We had just moved into this very old house. It looked pretty good. I guess it could have used some paint, but who cares? We have been traveling for seven and a half days. We left Apple Blossom, Colorado, before the snow started. Apple Blossom is a beautiful valley covered with the sweet smell of blossom from the apple trees. I kept looking out the back window of the station wagon. I just could not stop looking at the place that had been my home since birth till this very minute. I just kept looking at the rocky road that led down the side of the mountain and over the little wooden bridge that kept the sheep from going into town. I turned my head for one last look at the old mountain goats that always stood just about on top of the mountain as if they owned it. I just kept on looking until everything that reminded me of home was out of sight. We stopped by a river or creek late every afternoon, just long enough to put the large tent up so everyone could get fed, rest, and bathe. After traveling like this for seven and a half days, believe me, anything would look good, even this big old house that needed a couple of coats of paint. At least it has a roof, floor, and thank goodness, a bathroom.

Book excerpt: A British prince and a workaholic American doctor? They don't stand a chance. No matter how fiery their attraction is... Don't miss Anthony & Melody's steamy duology--now together in one volume! EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR Dr. Melody Harrison doesn’t believe in fairy tales. No prince rescued her when she needed it. She rescued herself. Now, her blossoming career as a pediatric surgeon gives her the opportunity to rescue kids. And volunteering for an international aid organization would give her a chance to help even more. Meeting the man who chairs the foundation might just shatter all her hopes. Anthony Scott might be the Queen’s grandson, look like sex-on-a-stick in his tuxedo, and have an outrageously hot London accent to boot, but he’s also downright rude. Giving him a second chance at a first impression shows Melody there’s another side to Anthony. But chemistry is easy… opening up to each other is a whole different kind of story.... EVERYTHING I NEED Duty calls this British prince back to London. Ambition keeps this pediatric surgeon in the states. Star-crossed lovers never last. Do they? Anthony Scott didn’t believe in much of anything. His painful past taught him to protect himself. Meeting her changed all that. Melody’s nothing like the glittering socialites and upper-crust royals he’s used to in London. She’s a workaholic pediatric surgeon from a small town with a big heart and open smile. And he is utterly smitten. But underneath, she’s as guarded as him. Their frequent goodbyes and the constant loneliness is taking its toll. Anthony refuses to give up on a future with Melody, but even his billions and their thrilling times in the bedroom can’t change the fact that they come from different worlds. Long-distance relationships aren’t supposed to have happy endings. But Anthony will do anything it takes to make both their dreams come true....
