Book excerpt: Little Shop of Flowers has nothing to do with flowers. Its about a bouquetof dedicated ladies, given flowery names, who volunteer at the Thrift Shop. The colorful Rosie Sharoni, an Italian lady with lots of spunk, introduces our storyteller, Mari Gold, to the Thrift Shop, which she takes to like a geranium to a clay pot. The chairwoman, Dora Bell, deals with tremors and asthma, but doesnt let these things get in the way of her coming up with bright ideas to improve the shops operation. Scarlet Sage, the knowledgeable assistant, also refuses to let various health problems keep her from staying at her post until all the donations are priced. Sweet Alyssa tirelessly organizes stacks of donated books, and Lu Pine looks up collectibles on the internet. Then theres Hosta LaSeeya, who gets her leaves in a flutter when volunteers, looking to help, mess with her clothes department. She and Mari Gold become friends, despite their dierence of opinion about what will sell and what goes in the trash. Finally, Dandy Lyon breezes in like a breath of fresh air, and Mari Gold thinks she may have found her successor. The book is a series of stories about retired or widowed ladies who volunteer their free time to perform a good deed for the community. And, its stories about frequent visitors who interact with the them people like Thelma and Louise, Spiro, the joke-telling priest, Jack Backpack, who warns about the thieves and hooligans out there, Tricky Dick, who scams little 90-year old Violet, Big Mike, the charmer always looking for a bargain, and Eddie, the Trivia Guy, who entertains the ladies with all sorts of questions. It isnt like any other kind of shop where people pick up what they need, pay for it and leave. Customers get involved in others conversations, dicker over prices, vent about life, or just hang out. Some bring humor, some sadness. And some have to be asked not to come back. Little Shop of Flowers hopefully will make the reader laugh. It is really just a wedge or two in the pie of lifepeople who need to feel like theyre doing something useful, and people who are simply looking for a bargain or just need a place to go or someone to talk to.

His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger has her questioning what’s been missing in her life. And when she’s forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it’s worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness. Look for special features inside. Join the Circle for author chats and more. Praise for The Language of Flowers "Instantly enchanting . . . [Diffenbaugh] is the best new writer of the year."—Elle “I would like to hand Vanessa Diffenbaugh a bouquet of bouvardia (enthusiasm), gladiolus (you pierce my heart) and lisianthus (appreciation). In this original and brilliant first novel, Diffenbaugh has united her fascination with the language of flowers—a long-forgotten and mysterious way of communication—with her firsthand knowledge of the travails of the foster-care system. . . . This novel is both enchanting and cruel, full of beauty and anger. Diffenbaugh is a talented writer and a mesmerizing storyteller. She includes a flower dictionary in case we want to use the language ourselves. And there is one more sprig I should add to her bouquet: a single pink carnation (I will never forget you).”—Washington Post "A fascinating debut . . . Diffenbaugh clearly knows both the human heart and her plants, and she keeps us rooting for the damaged Victoria."—O Magazine "Diffenbaugh effortlessly spins this enchanting tale, making even her prickly protagonist impossible not to love."—Entertainment Weekly
