Niya Fine, a shy, introverted, plus-size teen, is dealing with the recent loss of her mother. She’s now living with her widowed grandmother, Claudia, an elitist who criticizes Niya’s every move. While Kendall is working hard to make the season bright, planning Christmas parties and whipping up amazing gowns at the boutique where she works, Niya is begging her uncle Reese, the “reprobate” of the family, to spend the holidays with her at his mother’s home. She hopes that will make living there a little less lonely. A twist of fate leads to a unique friendship between Kendall and Niya, and a quest to pursue a family tradition that seems impossible to achieve.

Book Description
Longing for love, can she escape the shadows that follow her to Dark Island? 1910, Thousand Islands, New York. Others may consider The Towers castle on Dark Island an enchanting summer retreat, but to Devyn McKenna, it's a prison. Yet as she works as a maid for Frederick Bourne, former president of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, her life blossoms under the kindness of his family and fascinating entrepreneurs such as J.P. Morgan, Thomas Lipton, and Captain Vanderbilt. But more than anything, the growing friendship of Mr. Bourne's valet, Brice McBride, begins to pry away the painful layers that conceal Devyn's heart. Brice is drawn to the mysterious Devyn even though he's certain she's hiding a secret, one far more dangerous than the clues they find in The Towers that hint of a treasure on the island. When Devyn is accused of stealing Bourne's investment in Vanderbilt's New York City subway expansion, he might not be able to protect her. Written for the General Market (G): Contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language.

Book Description
Have you ever met or caught a fleeting glimpse of a famous person? Or, have you ever fantasized what it would be like to be in the company of a celebrity? What would you say? How would you behave? What would they think of you in turn? Even if you've never encountered anyone who is well known, you have, no doubt, met members of your own community who are held in high regard. Perhaps the town mayor, a religious leader, or local entertainer. When you see this person, your posture improves, your face lights up with a smile, you hope to make eye contact and possibly start up a conversation. We enjoy being in the presence of and associating with prestigious people. It makes us feel good! But why is this? How do these types of interactions benefit us? Or them, for that matter? The Anthropology of Celebrity explores our cultural need to include people of higher status in our day-to-day lives, even though we may only see them via television, films, and social media. The stories and observations in this book are told from an LGBTQ oriented perspective.

Laziness Does Not Exist
Author: Devon Price
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982140135
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author) that examines the “laziness lie”—which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough. Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. 60-hour work weeks. Side hustles. Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure self-worth. Price was an overachiever from the start, graduating from both college and graduate school early, but that success came at a cost. After Price was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia and heart complications from overexertion, they were forced to examine the darker side of all this productivity. Laziness Does Not Exist explores the psychological underpinnings of the “laziness lie,” including its origins from the Puritans and how it has continued to proliferate as digital work tools have blurred the boundaries between work and life. Using in-depth research, Price explains that people today do far more work than nearly any other humans in history yet most of us often still feel we are not doing enough. Filled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming society’s pressure to do more, and featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist “is the book we all need right now” (Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet).
