Book excerpt: THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after... So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place. With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.

Download or read book Any Way the Wind Blows written by Rainbow Rowell and published by Wednesday Books. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

Download or read book Playing with Myself written by Randy Rainbow and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestseller! An intimate and light-hearted memoir by viral sensation and three-time Emmy-nominated musical comedian Randy Rainbow that takes readers through his life—the highs, the lows, the lipstick, the pink glasses, and the show tunes. Randy Rainbow, the man who conquered the Internet with a stylish pair of pink glasses, an inexhaustible knowledge of Broadway musicals, and the most gimlet-eyed view of American politics this side of Mark Twain finally tells all in Playing with Myself, a memoir sure to cause more than a few readers to begin singing one of his greatest hits like “A Spoonful of Clorox” or “Cover Your Freakin’ Face.” As Randy has said, “There’s so much fake news out there about me. I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peek behind the green screen.” And set the record straight he does. Playing with Myself is a first-hand account of the journey that led Randy Rainbow from his childhood as the over-imaginative, often misunderstood little boy who carried a purse in the second grade to his first job on Broadway as the host at Hooters and on to the creation of his trademark comedy character. In chapters titled “Pajama Bottoms” (a look back at the days when he wore pajama bottoms on his head to pretend he was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), “Yes, It’s My Real Name, Shut Up!” (no explanation necessary...) and “Pink Glasses” (a rose-colored homage to his favorite accessory), Playing with Myself is a memoir that answers the question “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”

This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, I had a vision full of dreams of putting a positive drop in the ocean of life to help create a better world for all of us in generations to come. I saw with a broken mirror, with a world full of tears, full of hurts and frustration with deepening pain, which cried endlessly for a red cross band-aid and cure. It was many years later that my vision was written on paper in the form of poetry. My many trials and suffering, along with many running off the road of light, with dead ends did not go in vain. I hope my many poems of love, Jesus, Mary, peace, and the poor will help to inspire each reader to open their eyes and minds wider to Jesus endless love and dreamers with authentic peace, with their hearts open to realize the suffering and the huge rocky mountain that the poor and unwanted, lost and forgotten, climb that mountain courageously day after day. You may be passing by a war hero in disguise many have despairing stories to tell. Jesus dwells in the suffering poor. He loves his forgotten lamb in the same way that he loves us. Please give them dignity and respect for they struggle for the good life with the little that they have with hopeful courage, and a trail of brokenness and pain, with hanging on to the Lord's strength and his many crosses to turn their darkness into God's light. So be a brother or sister to them and lend them a hand when you can, their destiny starts and ends with you.

The discovery of two more headless victims makes Jess wonder if it's a gang-related slaying, a personal vendetta . . . or something else. And the sudden reappearance of her ex-husband makes her question her future with Chief of Police Dan Burnett. Now as the net widens to include a shocking suspect, Jess realizes that the identity of the killer may lie with an autistic eight-year-old boy. With inner-city tensions at an all-time high and the community calling for blood, Jess must race to save an innocent child-and prevent a final, horrifying act of rage.

Download or read book Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge written by Kenneth Newman DVM and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge begins with a tragic accident in which a careless driver backs up 25 yards without looking, pinning Dr. Newman and his beloved Labrador, Gracie, between his family station wagon and the driver's bumper. Dr. Newman's life story is narrated in retrospect, emphasizing the importance of the dogs that have shared his life. It is furthermore an appeal to the hearts and minds of pet owners that the legal status of pets must be elevated above the level of mere property, the status they are now granted in our legal system. Ninety percent of pet owners now consider their pets to be family members. The owner of a pet that is killed through an accidental act of negligence or a deliberate act of malice can only receive the cash value for their pet. Dr. Newman presents his view that the laws of the land are out of touch with the public's sentiment.

Book excerpt: En 1975, du jour au lendemain jai t arrache de ma chre mre cause de la guerre des Khmers rouges. Cette perte de ltre cher ma plonge dans une telle souffrance, un tel vide que je me croyais morte vivante. Ce qui me conservait en vie tait lespoir de revoir pour une dernire fois ma mre, vu qui ne sest jamais ralis. Cela ma pris des annes avant de pouvoir lui dire adieu. Le 17 avril 1975, la punition des habitants de Phnom-Penh fut la fin de cette ville telle que nous lavions connue, par les Khmers rouges, ville que jaurais aim connatre davantage. Cette troupe de jeunes paysans arms jusquaux dents, des garons peine sortis de ladolescence, a rpandu la terreur travers la ville de Phnom-Penh, avec leur air arrogant et prtentieux, tout comme si le monde entier leur appartenait. Vtus de leurs habit, ressemblant des corbeaux, ont fait en sorte que je ne peux voir ces animaux sans aussitt penses ces Khmers rouges qui me terrifient encore. Leur bandeau rouge sang sur le front avait de quoi faire frmir jusquaux os et leurs yeux affichant leur identit de monstre, de tueur, sans aucune piti pour leurs semblables. Leurs camps de concentration furent une des pisodes les plus sanglantes du XXe sicle. Ces jeunes Khmers rouges, forms pour mpriser les gens de la ville comme si nous tions des criminels dangereux. Ils nous dtestaient, nous qui vivions dans les villes, car nous tions la raison de leur pauvret; nous mprisants, nous devions donc tre limins. Ce fut leur tour de nous maltraiter afin de se venger de nous. Ces ides fausses, implantes dans leurs esprits par les chefs Khmers rouges, leur ont permis de nous torturer et de tuer dans aucune piti et remord. Le 17 avril 1975, les Khmers rouges prennent le pouvoir et entrent Phnom-Penh. La capitale fut vide de tous des habitants en moins de 48 heures. Les soldats rouges passrent de porte en porte pour faire sortir les gens en disant : Vous ne partez que pour quelques minutes, inutile dapporter des bagages Ma famille et moi furent dplacs, tout comme la population Khmer, vers la campagne. ce moment le Cambodge sombre dans une guerre terrible o les Khmers rouges ont transform le pays en un vaste camp de concentration, un camp de la mort. Les Khmers rouges ont anantis les lites en les exterminant. Cet immense gnocide a fait disparatre le plus grande partie de la population Cambodgienne. Dans cette foule de dports jtais l, impuissante face cette guerre dans piti. Le quotidien du camp de la mort tait fait de torture, dhumiliation, dexcutions sommaires, de famine provoque et de terreur. Longue liste pour mes quatre annes passes sous le rgime de Pol Pot. Jtais perdue dans cet enfer, dans un face face constant avec la mort; mais mon heure ntait pas au rendez-vous. Mais plusieurs dautres nont pas eu cette chance car des millions de Khmers ont perdus la vie en moins de quatre annes sous ce rgime de Pol Pot qui voulait instaurer le communisme rural et la terreur. Il faut respecter langhar. (sorte de dieu), sinon cest la mort qui nous attendait et elle tait trs proche : notre porte et parfois mme attendait avec impatience. Pol Pot : ce nom seul terrifie le peuple khmer. Il vole le pouvoir de Dieu sur la vie et la mort de millions de khmers. Avoir un langage trop correcte ou porter des lunettes, font de ces personnes des criminelles quil faut liminer. Ces gens instruits, il vaut mieux les liminer : vaut mieux liminer un innocent que de garder un ennemi. Des vrais psychopathes qui prenaient plaisir torturer les gens afin de se donner de limportance ou pour se sentir plus vivants. Les slogans des Khmers rouges taient : Vous devez vous pier les uns les autres Vous garder ne rapporte rien; vous dtruire nest pas une perte! Celui qui proteste est un ennemi. Sil soppose, il devient un cadavre Mieux vaut tuer un innocent que de garder en vie un ennemi Ces slogans constituaient les lignes de conduite des Khmers rouges et cest partir de cela quils nous traitaient.

Download or read book Rainbow s End written by Rex Beach and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2023-02-23 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Rainbow's End’ by Rex Beach is a western, action-adventure novel set to the backdrop of the Spanish-American war that will be enjoyed by fans of ‘Rough Riders’ by Theodore Roosevelt or the film ‘Citizen Kane’. The story tells the tale of a time when young men in the West who were old enough to ride would head to East Texas to join Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, and assist with the invasion of Cuba. They would ride to glory and return as heroes, but there were very few who would return home to their families. Rex Beach, was an American novelist, playwright, and Olympic water polo player. His novels, most of which were adventure novels, were influenced by Jack London – author of ‘White Fang’ – and they were very popular during the early 1900s. His second novel, ‘The Spoilers’ which was based on a true experience he witnessed while in Alaska of corrupt government officials stealing gold mines from prospectors, became one of the best-selling novels of 1906.
