Figuring Shit Out
Author: Amy Biancolli
Publisher: Behler Publications, LLC
ISBN: 1933016469
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
"Your life isn't over." My dad says this. "I mean, YOUR life isn't over. Beyond the kids. You'll go on living, doing things. This isn't it." I know, I assure him. I have the kids. They need me. They're my life now. "OK," he replies, then grunts—more of a brief hum. He only hums when he thinks I'm full of shit. Shockingly single. Amy Biancolli's life went off script more dramatically than most after her husband of twenty years jumped off the roof of a parking garage. Left with three children, a three-story house, and a pile of knotty psychological complications, Amy realizes the flooding dishwasher, dead car battery, rapidly growing lawn, basement sump pump, and broken doorknob aren't going to fix themselves. She also realizes that "figuring shit out" means accepting the horrors that came her way, rolling with them, slogging through them, helping others through theirs, and working her way through life with love and laughter. Amy Biancolli is an author and journalist whose column appears in the Albany Times Union. Before that, Amy served as film critic for the Houston Chronicle where her reviews, published around the country, won her the 2007 Comment and Criticism Award from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors Association. Biancolli is the author of House of Holy Fools: A Family Portrait in Six Cracked Parts, which earned her Albany Author of the Year. Amy lives in Albany, New York, with her three children.

Pages : 186
Book Description
From potty-training expert and social worker Jamie Glowacki, who’s already helped over half a million families successfully toilet train their preschoolers, comes a newly revised and updated guide that’s “straight-up, parent-tested, and funny to boot” (Amber Dusick, author of Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures). Worried about potty training? Let Jamie Glowacki, potty-training expert, show you how it’s done. Her six-step, proven process to get your toddler out of diapers and onto the toilet has already worked for tens of thousands of kids and their parents. Here’s the good news: your child is probably ready to be potty trained EARLIER than you think (ideally, between 20–30 months), and it can be done FASTER than you expect (most kids get the basics in a few days—but Jamie’s got you covered even if it takes a little longer). If you’ve ever said to yourself: -How do I know if my kid is ready? -Why won’t my child poop in the potty? -How do I avoid “potty power struggles”? -How can I get their daycare provider on board? -My kid was doing so well—why is he regressing? -And what about nighttime?! Oh Crap! Potty Training can solve all of these (and other) common issues. This isn’t theory, you’re not bribing with candy, and there are no gimmicks. This is real-world, from-the-trenches potty training information—all the questions and all the answers you need to do it once and be done with diapers for good.

Mr. Right
Author: Megyn Ward
Publisher: Whitepoint Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Landon Trask is the biggest movie star in the world. Everyone knows who he is. Everyone wants a piece of him. Everyone wants to either be him or be with him. Any detail or aspect of his private life is voraciously gobbled up by the masses. Just standing next to him at a red-carpet event is Hollywood Goals. He’s that kind of famous. It doesn’t hurt that he’s drop-dead gorgeous, ridiculously talented or that since the death of his wife six years ago, he’s all but turned his back on the very entity that made him famous in the first place. So, when Landon Trask finds you half-naked in his very private bathroom, snooping through his medicine cabinet, he has every right in the world to assume you’re a stalker and when he shows up on your doorstep the very next day and asks you to dinner, you say, yes. Imagine my surprise, and monumental disappointment, when Hollywood’s favorite leading man turns out to be a cold, ruthless bastard who all but blackmails me into accepting the indecent proposal of the century—play the role of his girlfriend and shoot to the top of A-lister royalty. If I accept, he’ll see to it that I’m given the lead role in his latest blockbuster. And if I refuse, he’s made it clear he’ll use his status as a Hollywood god to see that I never land so much as a laxative commercial again. When I accept his proposal and agree to his terms, he seems angry. When he kisses me in public it seems like a fairytale. When he touches me in private it feels like something else altogether. It feels dangerous. Because this business arrangement isn’t just business anymore. At least not for me. It’s something else. Something real. Something right. Something that could destroy me if I forget that this is all pretend and let myself fall. **MR. RIGHT IS BOOK TWO IN THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS SERIES AND A RICH & FAMOUS, SINGLE DAD, FAKE RELATIONSHIP ROMANCE THAT IS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT YOUR KINDLE.**

Love and the Game
Author: Daniel Ali

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Check out the story from Jersey City author, Daniel Ali, that inspired the Medium Feature film currently showcasing in some of the top film festivals around the world, including Bronze Lens and Cannes. This special edition copy contains added story content and has a foreword written by Michelle Batista, (actor/activist), who plays the role of Paz in the film version of Love and the Game. The film also stars Steven Fernandez as the book protagonist, AD. "A Way of Life in the Urban City!" (Goodreads). "A delicious read by a masterful storyteller!" (amazon verified reviewer)."A Well Written Story! A Compelling Page-turner!" (amazon verified reviewer). Jersey City author, Daniel Ali explores the socio-economic causes of criminality in the inner cities of America, and how those who get caught up in the ‘Game’ reconcile their lives, relationships, and emotions. He unpacks the ‘Game’ through protagonist Adriano de Souza, a young, Afro-Brazilian street hustler torn between a lucrative but violent world and the woman he’s loved his entire life. He intentionally and methodically unmasks their pain and secret coping mechanisms as they struggle to balance life with betrayal and deception. He skillfully breathes life into relatable characters by focusing on the real-world human themes evident in the tragic but all too common reality of the street. Love and the Game exposes the truths of fast-life allure and the American lust for material gain, offering a unique perspective of the conflicted, inner humanity of many of those who get caught up and whose voices are often muted.

Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature
Author: Alleen Pace Nilsen
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810866854
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This book shows how authors of young adult literature use the creation of names for people, places, events, inventions, animals, and imaginary concepts as one of their most important literary techniques. Chapters address how authors use names to stretch readers' emotions, to reveal ethnic values and differences, to create 'other worlds,' and to establish tone. Other chapters focus on how authors use names to help readers remember who is who, such as J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books, or to communicate separate messages to adults and to young readers, as exemplified by Richard Handler in the Lemony Snicket books. Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature equips readers with the interest and the skill to make similar observations about names and naming when they read other books. Looking at the names an author has chosen to use is a wonderful first step in introducing readers to the concept of literary criticism as something to help readers get more pleasure and information from their reading. Public and school librarians, college instructors of young adult literature, teachers of creative writing, high school English teachers, and anyone else who is interested in young adult literature will find this book extremely interesting.
