Nineteen-year-old Farrah Lin is going to fall in love for the first time during her year abroad in Shanghai. She's sure of it. The only problem? Her would-be leading man is her new friend's boyfriend. There's nothing worse than being in love with someone you can't have...or at least, she thinks it's love. But if that's true, why can't she stop fantasizing about someone else, specifically the cocky blond athlete with the world's biggest ego (and greatest dimples)? *** Blake Ryan is--was--a college football star who shocked the sports world when he quit after his third national championship. Instead of dealing with the fallout, he escapes to Shanghai, where he vows to keep life simple. No football. No commitments. No romance. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't keep a certain beautiful brunette off his mind...or out of his heart. What starts as a physical attraction develops into something much deeper as Blake and Farrah get swept up in the magic of Shanghai--and each other. But they only have one year, and there are forces outside their control that threaten to rip them apart. Can their relationship survive the test...or was it just not meant to be?

Book Description
Do you ever wonder what happens after death? Do you believe in life after death? In this candid and straight-talking book, the author shares his own journey into mediumship and his work with various development circles and other groups. We get a unique insight into the challenges of this very unconventional calling, as Tom performs 'spirit rescues' in homes troubled by persistent spirit activity and helps families reconcile with the loss of loved ones. But this book is not just about Tom's journey, or the poignant stories of the clients he has helped. His aim is also to show the reader that, far from there being any special 'gift' required, the ability to connect with the Spirit World is one which each and every one of us can develop and make use of. Filled with compassion, humour and pragmatism, this book opens up the world of mediumship and Spirit to us all.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into “normal” life—from the author of the Life, Interrupted column in The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Rumpus, She Reads, Library Journal, Booklist • “I was immersed for the whole ride and would follow Jaouad anywhere. . . . Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown.”—Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review “Beautifully crafted . . . affecting . . . a transformative read . . . Jaouad’s insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us.”—The Washington Post In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch—first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward—after countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant—she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal—to survive. And now that she’d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live. How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who’d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.

Book Description
In the quiet spaces between the lines, where words dance and emotions weave, lies the essence of this collection. Here, within the pages of this book, I invite you to journey through the corridors of my mind, where thoughts take flight and feelings find expression. I express my anxiety, depression in papers, which is considered as art of poetry. These verses are more than mere words; they are the echoes of my soul, captured in ink and laid bare for you to explore. Each poem is a brushstroke, painting a portrait of my innermost struggles and triumphs, my hopes and fears, my dreams and realities. As both the author and the architect of this creation, I have poured my heart into these pages, shaping each stanza with care and intention. And with Shubham Mondal's skilled editorial touch, this work has found its voice, resonating with clarity and purpose. May these poems serve as mirrors, reflecting back to you fragments of your own journey, stirring emotions long dormant, and inspiring you to embrace the beauty of your own inner landscape. This collection of poems, "Melancholic Melodies," delves into the depths of human emotion, exploring themes that may include self-harm and substance use. While these poems offer a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the complexities of the human experience, they are not intended to glamorise or promote harmful behaviours. Reader discretion is advised, and if you are struggling with similar issues, please seek support from a trusted individual or professional. Remember, you are not alone in your journey. Welcome to Melancholic Melodies: Verses of Love and Despair
