Maybe, It's Just Me By: Pastor Nancy Advincola Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the memorable events in my life. In a celebratory manner, I'm giving tribute to the unsung heroes who contributed to the person I am today. After years of countless conversations and observations, I've come to the perception that most triumphs and occasional adversities in an adolescent's life are due to the initial affections that were exhibited or denied can be the primary reason for their demeanor. Furthermore, what has motivated me to write this book was that I yearn to honor those affectionate men and women that are no longer with me, but have in finitely touched my heart and blessed my life. Ergo, as a wife, mother, Pastor, my infinite mission is to tell the world how Jesus Christ has blessed my life.

Book Description
How many times do you feel unappreciated as a consumer? You work every day and might I say HARD FOR YOUR MONEY! I wonder if the people who work in the service industry would change their attitude, if they knew what consumers were thinking and feeling. Putting yourself in ?someone else's shoes? can certainly change your actions and this book will do just that. I don't think I was born with a passion to serve others, but there is something about being able to turn a negative situation into a positive one that gives me a sense of strength. Something about hearing the words ?Thank you? after I help someone that stirs up overwhelming feelings in my soul. Something about just being kind, offering pleasant words or services that brings me to a place of happiness and joy. And then there's the added value of increasing sales and helping to make the company I work for a ?consumers #1 choice? ?well that is just icing on the cake! This book is ALL ?reality read? (my own genre) and will make you smile, laugh but most of all make you think? Happy Reading!

Book Description
A 2020 ALA Notable Children’s Book A Washington Post Best Children’s Book of 2019 Barbara Dee explores the subject of #MeToo for the middle grade audience in this heart-wrenching—and ultimately uplifting—novel about experiencing harassment and unwanted attention from classmates. For seventh-grader Mila, it starts with some boys giving her an unwanted hug on the school blacktop. A few days later, at recess, one of the boys (and fellow trumpet player) Callum tells Mila it’s his birthday, and asks her for a “birthday hug.” He’s just being friendly, isn’t he? And how can she say no? But Callum’s hug lasts a few seconds too long, and feels…weird. According to her friend, Zara, Mila is being immature and overreacting. Doesn’t she know what flirting looks like? But the boys don’t leave Mila alone. On the bus. In the halls. During band practice—the one place Mila could always escape. It doesn’t feel like flirting—so what is it? Thanks to a chance meeting, Mila begins to find solace in a new place: karate class. Slowly, with the help of a fellow classmate, Mila learns how to stand her ground and how to respect others—and herself. From the author of Everything I Know About You, Halfway Normal, and Star-Crossed comes this timely story of a middle school girl standing up and finding her voice.”

Mickey7

Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
*Soon to be the major motion picture Mickey17* The Martian meets Multiplicity in Edward Ashton's high concept science fiction thriller, in which Mickey7, an "expendable," refuses to let his replacement clone Mickey8 take his place. Dying isn’t any fun...but at least it’s a living. Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal...and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it. On a fairly routine scouting mission, Mickey7 goes missing and is presumed dead. By the time he returns to the colony base, surprisingly helped back by native life, Mickey7’s fate has been sealed. There’s a new clone, Mickey8, reporting for Expendable duties. The idea of duplicate Expendables is universally loathed, and if caught, they will likely be thrown into the recycler for protein. Mickey7 must keep his double a secret from the rest of the colony. Meanwhile, life on Niflheim is getting worse. The atmosphere is unsuitable for humans, food is in short supply, and terraforming is going poorly. The native species are growing curious about their new neighbors, and that curiosity has Commander Marshall very afraid. Ultimately, the survival of both lifeforms will come down to Mickey7. That is, if he can just keep from dying for good.
