Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indie Next List Pick! "All libraries should make space on their shelves for Harold."--School Library Journal (starred review) In this sweet picture book that celebrates selflessness and the joy of helping others, a little bear named Harold loses his beloved woolly hat--only to discover that others need it more. What makes a bear special? For Harold, it is his beloved striped woolly hat. He wears it when he sleeps, when he goes to school, and even when he takes his monthly bath. But when a crow whisks the hat off his head and high up into a nest, Harold doesn't feel so special anymore. He tries everything to get it back--offering the crow blueberries, worms, and even shiny objects--but alas, the crow will not budge. Turns out that the hat has a new special purpose: keeping three baby crows warm. This heartwarming picture book features an irresistible bear and gently reinforces the notion that it doesn't matter what you have, it's who you are that matters.

Download or read book The Lincoln Highway written by Amor Towles and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than ONE MILLION copies sold A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick A New York Times Notable Book, and Chosen by Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Bill Gates and Barack Obama as a Best Book of the Year “Wise and wildly entertaining . . . permeated with light, wit, youth.” —The New York Times Book Review “A classic that we will read for years to come.” —Jenna Bush Hager, Read with Jenna book club “Fantastic. Set in 1954, Towles uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope.” —Bill Gates “A real joyride . . . elegantly constructed and compulsively readable.” —NPR The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York. Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. “Once again, I was wowed by Towles’s writing—especially because The Lincoln Highway is so different from A Gentleman in Moscow in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero’s journeys, including The Iliad, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.” – Bill Gates

Book excerpt: In this “wonderfully warm . . . laugh-out-loud funny” romantic comedy, a London career woman finds love and happiness at her family’s village knitting shop (Cressida McLaughlin, author of the Cornish Cream Tea series). When Dee Blackthorn’s brother breaks both wrists, he’s in need of a helping hand—or two—with the knitting shop he owns. Luckily, Dee has all the time in the world to help out—she’s just been unceremoniously fired from her demanding job amidst scandalous office rumors she’s certain her hot-shot nemesis, Ben, is behind . . . When Dee bumps into Becky, an old friend who is a new mum to a premature baby, Dee gets the brilliant idea to use her new role at her brother’s shop to enlist the knitting community to make tiny woolly hats to keep the little one warm. But when Dee’s good intentions backfire, she risks losing her friends and family. On top of that, Ben turns up, denying involvement in Dee’s sacking. It seems her office rival might just be the hero she needs right about now. “The book made me want to take up knitting and snuggle down with my loved ones.” —Rosie Blake, author of The Hygge Holiday “Relatable and vivid characters. . . . Clever, heartfelt, witty, romantic.” —Kirsty Greenwood, author of Big Sexy Love “Simply unputdownable.” —Claudia Carroll, author of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? “The feel-good book of the year.” —Vanessa Greene, author of The Vintage Teacup Club

Download or read book I Am Thabeka written by David R. Donald and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often interesting to know why an author chose to write a particular story. First, in order for me to explain this reason, I need to tell you a little about my background. I have worked as a teacher, then as a child psychologist in schools, and finally as a lecturer and professor in two South African universities. It is only since my retirement some twelve years ago that I had the time to start writing stories for both young children and older adolescents. Because of my professional background - and particular interest in reading development all my published short stories and novels have an underlying purpose. And that purpose is to bring to young people reading material that is not only interesting and that they can relate to their personal lives, but also carries with it something that could be useful in their own psychological development. All of my three novels in this Xlibris series (see the relevant titles of the other two novels below) have an underlying developmental theme and purpose. And this is to provide stories that I hope may help them deal with the painful feelings and, often, their practical difficulties which have to be faced when someone has lost a loved one. Perhaps even more important, each of the stories also tells, in its own way, how the main character overcomes and rises above her or his grief and difficulties. Differing in each case, this recovery comes not only from the help and support of one or more friends, relatives, neighbours and teachers but also, significantly, from the determination and courage of each of the main characters. In order to help you to relate these important elements to your own life, and perhaps to the lives of other young people whom you may know, I have added two short sections at the end of each book. The first provides you with a number of Questions to think about and the second with a few carefully chosen Activities for you to undertake if you choose to do so. However, even though it may take a little effort, please follow through on both of the above elements as they will most definitely help you get the most out of each story. Second, I believe that an author of any fictional story needs to be personally familiar with the place and the language* and culture of the people who live there. Without this element, the story will simply not feel authentic or real to any reader wherever they happen to live in the world. My hope, again, is that this will be true for you. *In each of my three novels, I have a list at the end of the novel of the English translations, and a guide to the pronunciation of, those important names, words and phrases in the African languages that I have chosen to use in the respective novels. I hope that this information may contribute to the authenticity of the stories as you read them. The titles of my other two Xlibris Corporation novels in this series are: Gogos song Woza Thabo! The story that I have written below grew out of an actual experience. It all started when an organisation in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa asked a colleague and me to do some research with the orphans in the organisations project. The organisation wanted to find out if it was really being effective in helping the orphans as opposed to other children in the community who lived in homes where an adult or adults (called adult headed households) were looking after them. (In the case of the orphans, where no adults were looking after them, the term, child headed households, was used.) We wanted to find out what problems the orphans in child headed households had to face, and whether these were different to the problems faced by other children who lived in the same poor community in the adult headed households. We also wanted to find ou

Download or read book Mistletoe And Wine 3 written by Maureen Reil and published by Maureen Reil. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Santa, I’ve been a good girl all year, especially to my sister who’d made me lose weight before her wedding or I would not have been allowed to attend it. And some people have a strict dress code at their nuptials, but Alice insisted on a strict diet for the bridal party so as not to spoil the pictures by having a ‘fatty’ in the main ones (which were her words not mine, so no offence big guy). I have loved and done my best by my family, my friends and most of all, the special one who shares my soul, my bed (but not at my parents house for they won’t allow it under their roof if we’re not married). And I don’t mean my dog either when I mention bringing me joy beyond my expectations (although he does matter hugely to me) but I speak about the great love of my life, being the one and only Harvey Brands (so do ignore and excuse the happy tear stains on the ink). I’ve included a little wish list if you’d care to look it over and perhaps find it in your generous heart to grant me at least one or two of them, then I would be eternally grateful and believe in the magic of Christmas forever and a day. 1. Please make my sister Alice be nice to me. 2. Please, make this upcoming year the best ever. 3. Please, make the following week dry and bright with cold, not freezing to death weather. 4. Please, make this Christmas/New Year a joyous occasion for everyone I know and respect. 5. Please, make everything turn out perfect if it is going to be my last Christmas at home. 6. Please, make this winter white wedding the stuff of dreams, not nightmares. 7. Please, make my gift a spa retreat, as I need it to relieve the stress of organising a wedding. 8. Please, make wishes 1-6 come true and I can live without the spa date if I really had to. Thank you for taking the time to read my begging letter. I fully understand why you didn’t bring me a million pounds last time, it was silly of me to think that you’d carry that kind of ready cash on your person to deliver down the chimney (which would make it ‘dirty money’) when everyone knows you only carry toys and presents in that sack. If I really want to win the lottery then I will have to buy a ticket like everyone else I suppose so here is to winning my fortune in the future, cheers. Yours faithfully, Molly Compton (age 30⅓). XXX P.S. This is the third and final book in the Christmas Comedy Trilogy of British short novels and comes with warm wishes all round for a Happy Holidays and a peaceful New Year once again. While inviting you to read all about the farcical frivolity of sharing this Yuletide tale with our Molly, family and friends for a funny, fun-filled festivity and together we will be sure to make it one to remember.

Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy and Cathy Kelly. 'Intimate, yet distinct. Purcell juggles voices deftly to deliver a snappy read, releasing revelations with mounting tension' - Irish Independent The tension is palpable as Tess and Jerry Brennan sit in the drawing room of their wonderful house high above the sea, waiting for the police to arrive. Tess is facing the consequences of her own actions, innocently undertaken but devastating in their outcome; Jerry has been caught out in a misdemeanour, a transgression men have made since time began but one that in his case has repercussions that will mean the end of a successful career. Adding to Tess's agitation is the knowledge that her two best friends are facing parallel traumas of their own. Life skated along for the three couples until last summer when they all travelled to the village of Collioure in the south of France. Now they have everything to lose: their marriages, their family lives, and their friendships. What readers are saying about Deirdre Purcell: 'Unerringly perceptive, Last Summer in Arcadia is a compellingly written, powerful exploration of the complex mix of love, trust and compromise' 'Warm, insightful, funny and poignant' 'Five stars'
Download or read book Loss written by Tony Black and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gus Dury is a changed man. He is off the Edinburgh streets and back with estranged wife, Debs. He has promised her that he won’t get involved in any more dodgy cases which the police can’t or won’t solve. And above all, he’s off the drink. In his pocket at all times is a half bottle of Scotch, but although the label is worn to shreds, he has never so much as loosened the cap. Then his brother Michael is found dead with a bullet in his heart and Gus’ life begins to unravel all over again. How can he keep the promises he has made and still avenge his brother’s murder? Praise for LOSS: “Tony Black is my favourite British crime writer and Gus Dury the genre’s most interesting protagonist. Like his previous books, Loss has the power, style and street swagger that makes most of his contemporaries a little bland by comparison.” —Irvine Welsh “Tony Black has written two of the finest crime novels to come out of the UK in the past twenty years and I’m willing to bet that in twenty years, Paying for It and Gutted will be on the top ten list of any crime list. But now comes Loss…Phew-oh…It’s like having yer ass kicked and yer heart shrived simultaneously. What a privilege to watch a master writer achieve everything you’d hoped for and then some.” —Ken Bruen “Tony Black delivers a story with a hard edge and fast-moving action. In this third book, he yet again produces a story that never lets up and delivers a superb book that you just can’t put down. I can’t wait for the next instalment of Gus Dury.” —EuroCrime “A brilliant, sweeping and heartbreaking novel, Black truly deserves your attention.” —International Thriller Writers “As washed-up private detectives go, Gus Dury is compelling—he’s as hard as any criminal and twice as self-destructive.” —Evening Standard “This is modern crime at its most brutal, its most affecting, its most honest and its most intelligent.” —Russel D McLean, author of Do Some Damage “Black writes about urban blight and the curse of alcohol like no other, but his down at heel tales are also full of everyday humour. Harrowing but indispensable.” —Maxim Jakubowski
