Book Description
Party like it's 1999. Wake up like a rock star. Save the day and still fresh as a daisy. As if! Not this Fairy. Not this lifetime. Not any given Sunday. Life is not a Fairy Tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight, you're drunk. Blurry-eyed, no coffee in sight, and tryin' with all my might not to beat the scales off my sweet Dragon's twin. That's a day in the life of Frangelica Francesca Fairymayweather - aka Me - aka Frannie the Fae. Time to buckle up, my sweet little buttercups. Fate is gunnin' for my happily ever after, and that just won't do. With a mighty swish of my wings and a twinkle in my eye, I'm gonna lay the Fairy Dust on as thick as I can and kick a certain Omnipotent Being’s bootay like I'm gettin' paid. Over the sand dunes and through the waves, to free my true love, we go! My name's Frannie the Fae, and I'm gonna save the day! If you love nonstop laughs, a ‘punny’ good time, and a Fairy with sass and attitude, this slow-burn, paranormal cozy romantic comedy is for you! And, if you are not careful, Frannie might just remind you of a certain author you know. ENJOY! XOXO Julia

Book Description
Practical dating advice from a divorce attorney. Want to know the secret to finding a meaningful and long-lasting relationship? Who doesn't! Whether you are divorced or looking to remarry, you have been in-and-out of failed relationships, you are uncertain about an existing relationship or you are simply prepared to ditch the single life . . . Whether you are gay, trans, nonbinary, straight . . . Whatever your race, gender, religion or sexual identity or orientation—this book is for you. Most relationship guides are written by therapists who base their advice on success stories. This is not that book. This is not your average relationship book. This book emerged from failure and offers a unique and fresh perspective. (Think, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” except the albatross is Zsa Zsa Gabor). Written by a divorce attorney with more than twenty years’ experience, this book works backwards, scrutinizing and dissecting the reasons relationships go wrong, to help you find the right relationship. In working with thousands of divorcing couples, author Sarah Intelligator, has distilled several unmistakable patterns among failed relationships. She has reduced these patterns into six categories, “F-Words”: Fundamental Values, Fear, Foundation, Fixing, Fairy Tale, and Family. This book will teach you to recognize and avoid these predictable patterns in your own search for a life partner, so that you may find a fulfilling and enduring relationship. Throughout the course of this book, you will be guided on an introspective journey of deep self-reflection. You will come out the other side not only with a more solid understanding of what you want in a relationship, but how to go about finding a partner best suited for you, because you deserve to love and be loved in a healthy way.

Whatever
Author: Mike J. Aronson
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1636307507
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Whatever is a book about you. Whatever will help you in your daily life. Whatever will also help you to help others. If Jerry Seinfeld can write a show about nothing and Cosmo Kramer can write a coffee-table book that turns into a coffee table, I can write a book about Whatever. We all have “stuff” we all need to learn how to deal with. We need to adapt in helping others with their stuff also. Many times, people don’t need physical help. They are just looking for someone to talk to and maybe get another perspective of the situation or someone whom they just needed to vent to. Be a good listener. It’s not always about you. When you help someone, chances are, you are helping yourself. At times, people just need some help. The littlest things can make such a big difference—a smile, a laugh, or even just opening the car door for someone. This book is over twenty years and a lifetime of observations, situations, and experiences I have had, and many you have had. The key element of Whatever is to help yourself first and then for you to pass it on to others. We are just a world of people helping people, and sometimes we need a little help. I hope you enjoy reading Whatever and have some laughs and smiles along the way. I know you have seen some of the writings and pictures before. Maybe now you will be able to look at your life differently. Whatever will help you do that and also for you to help someone else. Remember what they tell you on an airplane: “Secure your own oxygen first before helping others.” Enjoy your time.
