Book excerpt: Marriage? It can be absolute murder Wedding planner for the rich and famous, Felicity Philips is aiming to land the biggest gig of her life - the next royal wedding. But there are a few obstacles in her way ... ... not least of which is a dead body the police believe she is responsible for murdering. Out of custody, but under suspicion, her rivals are lining up to ruin her name. With so much on the line, she needs to prove it wasn't her and fast. But that means finding out who the real killer is ... ... without said killer finding out what she is up to. With Buster the bulldog as her protector and Amber the ragdoll cat providing sartorial wit - mostly aimed at the dog - Felicity is turning sleuth. What does a wedding planner know about solving a crime? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Get ready for a wild ride!'

Book excerpt: The New York Times called this famous guide to a more rewarding life “sound and solid, the product of a richly furnished mind, a book of wisdom.” Written by one of America’s most distinguished psychiatrists, Dr. Smiley Blanton, it has already found its way into some 200,000 American homes. Hundreds of readers have written to the author saying they were helped, inspired—and wanted more. In response to these letters, Dr. Blanton added an enormously valuable new section showing how men and women of all ages can give themselves as second chance at happiness—this section, titled “On Making a Fresh Start,” is included in this Expanded Edition, which was first published in 1957. “I believe that it is possible to achieve an emotional change with the insight developed through books. Books can make a change in one’s philosophy and attitude toward life. That is why so many books of the world are so deeply cherished. “It is in this hope that I write, in an effort to bring to people the hard-won truths of my observation over many years of life and during more than forty years of practice in psychiatry.”—Dr. Smiley Blanton, Introduction

David Rakoff, who died in 2012 at the age of 47, built a deserved reputation as one of the finest and funniest essayists of our time. This intricately woven novel, written with humour, sympathy and tenderness, proves him the master of an altogether different art form.

Here the characters' lives are linked to each other by acts of generosity or cruelty. A critic once called Rakoff "magnificent," a word which perfectly describes this wonderful novel in verse.

Book excerpt: From the incomparable David Rakoff, a poignant, beautiful, witty, and wise novel in verse whose scope spans the twentieth century Through his books and his radio essays for NPR's This American Life, David Rakoff has built a deserved reputation as one of the finest and funniest essayists of our time. Written with humor, sympathy, and tenderness, this intricately woven novel proves him to be the master of an altogether different art form. LOVE, DISHONOR, MARRY, DIE, CHERISH, PERISH leaps cities and decades as Rakoff sings the song of an America whose freedoms can be intoxicating, or brutal. The characters' lives are linked to each other by acts of generosity or cruelty. A daughter of Irish slaughterhouse workers in early-twentieth-century Chicago faces a desperate choice; a hobo offers an unexpected refuge on the rails during the Great Depression; a vivacious aunt provides her clever nephew a path out of the crushed dream of postwar Southern California; an office girl endures the casually vicious sexism of 1950s Manhattan; the young man from Southern California revels in the electrifying sexual and artistic openness of 1960s San Francisco, then later tends to dying friends and lovers as the AIDS pandemic devastates the community he cherishes; a love triangle reveals the empty materialism of the Reagan years; a marriage crumbles under the distinction between self-actualization and humanity; as the new century opens, a man who has lost his way finds a measure of peace in a photograph he discovers in an old box—an image of pure and simple joy that unites the themes of this brilliantly conceived work. Rakoff's insistence on beauty and the necessity of kindness in a selfish world raises the novel far above mere satire. A critic once called Rakoff "magnificent," a word that perfectly describes this wonderful novel in verse.

Book excerpt: Piper Perish inhales air and exhales art. The sooner she and her best friends can get out of Houston and get to New York City, the better. Art school has been Piper's dream her whole life, and now that senior year is halfway over, she's never felt more ready. But in the final months before graduation, things are weird with her friends and stressful with three different guys, and Piper's sister's tyrannical mental state seems to thwart every attempt at happiness for the close-knit Perish family. Piper's art just might be enough to get her out. But is she brave enough to seize that power when it means giving up so much? Debut author Kayla Cagan breathes new life into fiction in this dynamic, utterly authentic work featuring interior art from Rookie magazine illustrator Maria Ines Gul. Piper will have readers asking big questions along with her. What is love? What is friendship? What is family? What is home? And who is a person when she's missing any one of these things?

Book excerpt: “A brave triumph of a novel that readers won’t forget long after finishing it.”—The New York Times Book Review Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Good Morning America * Essence* Esquire * The Root * Bustle * Ebony * PopSugar * Ms. * The Millions Bear it or perish yourself. Those are the words Helen Jean hears that fateful night in her cousin’s outhouse that change the trajectory of her life. Spanning decades, Perish tracks the choices Helen Jean—the matriarch of the Turner family—makes and the way those choices have rippled across generations. We meet four members of the Black Texan family: Julie B., a woman who regrets her wasted youth and the time spent under Helen Jean’s thumb; Alex, a police officer grappling with a dark and twisted past; Jan, a mother of two who yearns to go to school and leave Jerusalem, Texas, behind for good; and Lydia, a woman whose marriage is falling apart because her body can’t seem to stay pregnant. Called home to say goodbye to their mother and grandmother, each family member is forced to confront long-kept secrets and ask themselves important questions about who is deserving of forgiveness and who bears the cross of blame. Set in vividly drawn Texas, this beautiful yet heart-wrenching novel explores the intricacies of family and the ways bonds can be made, maintained, or irrevocably broken. “This novel will serve as a hand extended through the darkness to a great many of its readers.”—Star Tribune (Minneapolis) “Like Walker’s The Color Purple and Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Perish lures readers past the pain with a spellbinding, buoyant use of language.”—Texas Monthly “Miraculous and moving, light glimmers at the edges of this wise novel.”—Esquire

This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Love or Perish: A Holocaust Survivor's Vision of Interfaith Peace, Harold Kasimow speaks broadly to the why of an epic tragedy like no other in our history, the Holocaust. Each chapter addresses specific questions around this issue and attempts to present proposed solutions to the inevitable issues: how the Holocaust could happen, the search for meaning and for blame, how could God allow this to happen, and the struggle to rise above it after all the suffering. The indifference to human suffering was and remains rampant. How does a person or a society learn from such a horrific example of human depravity and indifference? Mass murder and suffering on an unimaginable scale opens wounds that may never completely heal. Kasimow's own thoughts and perspectives are blended in this narrative with the insight of select scholars and thinkers, some personal associates and mentors, each addressing aspects of this tragedy. All of us not only address the realities of the Holocaust but humanity's collective future and collective responsibility to each other.Kasimow asks where do we go from here? We are standing at a very real crossroads, you and I, with a cosmic choice: learn to live and love together or perish together. It is that simple. Clearly, we have the capacity to do horrible things to each other, sometimes in the name of nationalism, sometimes in the name of a conjured and vengeful, bloodthirsty god. Sometimes, just because we can. Sometimes, just from evil itself. But we also have the capacity to love and respect each other and help each other achieve greatness.There is a simple choice. Just because we are capable of monstrous evil, should we then just be evil, or indifferent to it? Or should we rise above it? Life has always been about choices, our choices, of what to do or what to become. It has always been about our belief in ourselves, our God, our fellows, and our future together. Kasimow notes that the choice of which path to follow is ours to make
