Months away from high school graduation, Casey desperately craves a place to fit in, a person to see her, and a way out of her small New Jersey town. When she finds this escape in a person behind a glowing computer screen, one who fills her void with constant attention, charm, and what she believes to be true love, Casey struggles with the choice of coming back to reality. . . . That is until she transitions to college in Philadelphia and meets someone else. Someone in the real world. Someone who slowly begins to put those same lost pieces of her back into place. Casey continually attempts to force the two halves of herself into separate boxes, but what happens when both worlds unexpectedly collide?

Download or read book Adventures in Bookbinding written by Jeannine Stein and published by Quarry Books. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offer levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert. Illustrated step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to construct the cover pages, and a unique binding technique, easy enough for a beginner to master. Each project also features two other versions with the same binding geared to those with more or less experience. The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look. For the quilter's book, for example, vintage quilt pieces become the covers so all that's needing in the binding. Or if you're interested in wool felting use an old sweater. This offers great opportunities for upcycling. The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft - the master art quilter, for example. For this version, an expert guest artist has created the cover and the author has created the binding. This offers yet another creative opportunity - the collaborative project. Since crafters often get involved with round-robins and other shared endeavors, this will show them yet another way to combine their skills. No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does. Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.
Download or read book Edge of Safety written by Neal Pollack and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The arrival of any new Neal Pollack book—especially a novel!—is cause for celebration. When it's a satire about safetyism, COVID-19 lockdowns, and Canadian exceptionalism, it’s cause for something like a mix of Mardi Gras, Burning Man, and the Gathering of the Juggalos. Pollack’s signature wit, meanness, and compassion is all on brilliant, post-pot-addiction display here at a time when we need it more than ever.” –Nick Gillespie, host, The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie. “I’ve loved Neal Pollack's work for twenty years now. While I have numerous and serious problems with Canada, as everyone knows, I must insist that you buy and read this book. I loved it from start to finish, and so will you.” —Mike Sacks, Poking a Dead Frog, Stinker Lets Loose, Passing on the Right Amelia Stewart loves staying home.

But she does run afoul of a ragtag resistance movement that gradually persuades her that the world is not what she thinks. They take her on an adventure that she never imagined or wanted.

Book excerpt: Edge of the Map is equal parts inspiring, dramatic, and heartbreaking. One of America’s greatest high altitude mountaineers, Christine Boskoff was at the top of her career when she and her partner died in an avalanche in 2006. Charismatic, principled, and humble, Boskoff was also a deeply loved role model to her climbing partners and the Sherpa community. Edge of the Map traces the sharp twists and turns in Boskoff’s life, from her early years as a Lockheed engineer, through her first successes in the climbing world, to her purchase of Seattle-based Mountain Madness after owner and climber Scott Fischer died in the 1996 Everest disaster. Her life was one of constant achievement mixed with personal tragedy. The story follows Boskoff as she perseveres and moves on to even bigger peaks, earning acclaim as a world-class mountaineer, then later as she finds an alpine partnership with legendary Colorado climber Charlie Fowler.
