Book excerpt: The perfect Christmas gift for the bookworm in your life. 'Beautiful and moving... It will kickstart a cascade of nostalgia for countless people' Marian Keyes When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up different worlds and cast new light on this one. She was whisked away to Narnia - and Kirrin Island - and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library. In Bookworm, Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life and disinters a few forgotten treasures poignantly, wittily using them to tell her own story, that of a born, and unrepentant, bookworm. 'Passionate, witty, informed, and gloriously opinionated' Jacqueline Wilson 'A deliciously nostalgic treat' Good Housekeeping 'Lucy Mangan has enough comic energy to power the National Grid' The Spectator

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeous and inspiring picture book biography of Jane Austen, one of the most beloved writers of all time, from award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of our greatest writers. But before that, she was just an ordinary girl. In fact, young Jane was a bit quiet and shy; if you had met her back then, you might not have noticed her at all. But she would have noticed you. Jane watched and listened to all the things people around her did and said, and locked those observations away for safekeeping. Jane also loved to read. She devoured everything in her father’s massive library and before long, she began creating her own stories. In her time, the most popular books were grand adventures and romances, but Jane wanted to go her own way...and went on to invent an entirely new kind of novel. Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen includes a timeline and quotes from Austen's most popular novels. Parents and grandparents, as well as teachers and librarians, will enjoy introducing children to Jane Austen through this accessible, beautifully packaged picture book.

My parents got married in 1968, and I was born fifteen days later.

She and her family were among the millions of African Americans who escaped the bigotry and cruelty of the Jim Crow South to find opportunities elsewhere. #4 I adored my grandfather, Doc.

Book excerpt: What goes through the mind of a killer when they commit murder? What motivates someone to take a life? How do murderers remember their lives and crimes? With unprecedented access to high-security prisons all around the country, the creators of Netflix's I Am a Killer set out to get answers to these questions—by talking to the killers themselves. Most of the killers will die in prison, but each one speaks openly about their pasts and their crimes. Additional interviews—with the families of both perpetrators and victims and the law enforcement officials who worked the cases—reveal the constellations of factors that lead to violent crimes. Each profile features exclusive photographs, documents, and commentary from the documentary producers to give a detailed and balanced account of the crime, leaving it up to readers to decide what was right.

Download or read book Riches to Rags to Riches written by Heidi Guttman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It says in the Bible that we are to give 10% of our gross income to God which is the tithe. We are to take our tithe to our local church. Many make out their tithe without really giving it much thought, which is the way it should be. Whereas, many others put "too much thought" into tithing which only complicates the "act of tithing". God made "tithing" to be very simple and uncomplicated. In Riches to Rags to Riches: The Power of Tithing, author Heidi Guttman tells her story of tithing. Life for Guttman was good. She had material things that would make many people envious: a beautiful townhouse, expensive art, awesome cars, gorgeous furs, expensive jewelry, and a sport yacht, among other things. There was even a leather high chair for the baby. When she lost most of her possessions because she disobeyed God's instructions about tithing, however, Guttman learned the power of material wealth to distance her from God. Riches to Rags to Riches: The Power of Tithing teaches the importance of tithing from God's perspective. Learn about the rewards you can reap from tithing-and the losses you can sustain from not tithing. Guttman learned the difference firsthand. When she began tithing faithfully, God restored her in all ways. This can happen to you. As a result of tithing, you can experience God's love, peace, and abundance-a blessing that so many people long for.
