Any Way the Wind Blows
Author: Rainbow Rowell
Publisher: Wednesday Books
ISBN: 1250254345
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

Pages : 181
Book Description
One Flew Over The Rainbow by Ruth Ella Morargas will take you from Ruth’s troubled yet beautiful childhood, where her vibrant and joyful personality started to fracture; through her teen years of embracing who she was, despite panic and meltdowns. Into early adulthood where her personality was almost entirely robbed, and mental illness took the forefront. And then culminating in her recent transformation - as the wonder and healing of knowing Jesus and getting creative, helped bring her into recovery. Ruth is now healthy, happy and dreaming again! She has successfully regained who she was always meant to be – and so can you! This book will give you valuable insight and tools for your own recovery (or if you are a carer or professional). Ruth Ella Moragas founded and co-directed mental health organisation Happy Heads UK for 5 years, where people were empowered to look at their gifts, strengths and skills, rather than diagnoses and stigmas. Ruth herself loves to write, paint, dance and sing. Creativity has been one of the most effective outlets in her own recovery from mental health problems. Using all of this valuable experience (and through divine inspiration from the Holy Spirit) Ruth has developed her own, unique recovery tool – The Balance Ball. This is explained thoroughly towards the end of the book, including a full Balance Ball Booklet to help you on your own journey into wellness. Ruth has humbly decided to give this book away for free, because she would love it to help as many people as possible. But if you have read it and would like to donate some money to charities of Ruth's choosing (predominantly Mind, Croydon), please feel free to do so here: www.gofundme.com/one-flew-rainbow If you have read the book and enjoyed it, please feel free to leave a positive review here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=q9NVEAAAQBAJ&sitesec=reviews

Toxic Positivity

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.
