Book excerpt: With its gripping companion novel, Replica, this remarkable novel by the author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy asks how to be a human being, in a world where humanity cannot be taken for granted. In the world outside of the Haven Institute, the replicas Lyra and Caelum are finding it hard to be human—and Lyra, infected at Haven with a terrible disease, finds her symptoms are growing worse. But in trying to find a cure, they uncover a shocking connection to their past, even as their future seems in danger of collapsing. Gemma just wants to go back to her normal life after Haven. But soon, she learns that her powerful father has other plans for the replicas—unless she and her boyfriend Pete can stop him. Bestselling author Lauren Oliver brings the Replica duology to a shocking close in Ringer. Like Gemma and Lyra, you won’t be able to leave the world of Haven behind after you’ve turned the last page.
Download or read book The Wedding Ringer written by Kerry Rea and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman who wants nothing to do with love or friendship finds both in the unlikeliest ways in this hilarious and heartwarming debut by Kerry Rea. Once upon a time, Willa Callister was a successful blogger with a good credit score, actual hobbies, and legs that she shaved more than once a month. But after finding her fiancé in bed with her best friend, she now spends her days performing at children's birthday parties in a ball gown that makes her look like a walking bottle of Pepto Bismol. Willa dreams of starting fresh, where no one knows who she used to be, but first she needs to save up enough money to make it happen. Maisie Mitchell needs something too: another bridesmaid for her wedding. After a chance encounter at a coffee shop, Maisie offers to pay Willa to be in her bridal party. Willa wants nothing to do with weddings—or Maisie—but the money will give her the freedom to start the new life she so badly desires. Willa's bridesmaid duties thrust her into Maisie's high-energy world and into the path of hotshot doctor Liam Rafferty. But as Willa and Maisie form a real friendship, and Liam's annoyingly irresistible smile makes her reconsider her mantra that all men are trash, Willa's exit strategy becomes way more complicated. And when a secret from Maisie's past threatens to derail the wedding, Willa must consider whether friendship—and romance—are worth sticking around for.

Download or read book The Book of Basketball written by Bill Simmons and published by ESPN. This book was released on 2010-12-07 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The NBA according to The Sports Guy—now updated with fresh takes on LeBron, the Celtics, and more! Foreword by Malcom Gladwell • “The work of a true fan . . . it might just represent the next phase of sports commentary.”—The Atlantic Bill Simmons, the wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining basketball addict known to millions as ESPN’s The Sports Guy, has written the definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBA. From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens—and then closes, once and for all—every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons’s one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball. Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game’s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.
Download or read book Ringer written by Rebecca Lehmann and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ringer approaches womanhood from two directions: an examination of ways that women’s identities are tied to domestic spaces, like homes, cars, grocery stores, and daycare centers; and a consideration of physical, sexual, and political violence against women, both historically and in the present day. Lehmann’s poems look outward, and go beyond cataloguing trespasses against women by biting back against patriarchal systems of oppression, and against perpetrators of violence against women. Many poems in Ringer are ecopoetical, functioning in a “junk” or “sad” pastoral mode, inhabiting abandoned, forgotten, and sometimes impoverished landscapes of rural America.
Download or read book Action written by Robert Ringer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Ringer's books have created a revolution in the self-development genre and shown millions the way to personal and professional achievement. Now, in his latest and most eye-opening work, he reveals the key factor that leads to success in all areas of life. "As the years have passed, I have increasingly zeroed in on action as the most important success habit when it comes to determining how an individual's life plays out," Ringer writes. His conclusion evolved as a result of years of observing how four powerful action elements work in concert to give a person the capacity to overcome virtually any obstacle in his path. These elements include: Nothing happens until something moves, God helps those who help themselves, The Law of Averages, Action produces genius, magic, and power, Ideas, preparation, knowledge, and wisdom are all but useless without action, because action is the starting point of all progress. One of Ringer's most important rules is that action must precede motivation. Take action first, and motivation will follow. Filled with humorous and enriching anecdotes, Action! exhorts the reader to "Forget about taking action next week; forget about taking action tomorrow; forget about taking action in an hour. When you close this book, get up out of your chair and take action now. Action is life, and life is meant to be lived -- which is why happiness is a natural consequence of an action-oriented life."

Book excerpt: This the story of a beagle dog and his caring, loving friend and trainer. Ringer was an unwanted and ignored little puppy who was growing up with an unkind and abusive family until one day a lady took him away from that and brought him home to be with her family. It was difficult to get him to behave and respond to the kindness he was not used to, so the lady instructed her children to be very kind to him. She encouraged them to feed him so that he would trust her and her children. Over time this improved his acceptance of his new surroundings and he became responsive to everyones adoration. Eventually, the lady became interested in dog training believing that this would benefit both the lady and her dog. This later developed into a pastime that brought Ringer and his trainer to the world of Obedience training and competition. This story tells of that journey and of how the lady became aware of the methods of encouraging a discipline which allowed Ringer and herself to understand the commands and how she desired him to behave.

This book was released on 2022-05-09T22:59:00Z with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Looking out for number one is the conscious effort to make rational decisions that lead to the greatest amount of happiness over the long term, so long as those actions do not involve the use of force or fraud against anyone else. #2 Happiness is the state of mind you experience when you are experiencing pleasure. It is the main objective of life, and all other objectives are means to achieving it. The more rational your decisions and actions are, the more often you will experience results that lead to happiness. #3 The brain’s Weight-and-Balance Happiness Scale, which is a biological computer chip, weighs every alternative available to you and chooses the one that will result in the greatest amount of happiness for you. However, it can malfunction and make decisions that aren’t in your best interest. #4 The problem of choosing inappropriate subobjectives stems from irrational thinking. However, having too many subobjectives can be a result of buying into the generally accepted notion that winning at everything is admirable. This can lead to several bad consequences.
