Book Description
Kori People are so serious about life. I feel it was made to be enjoyed. I’m not interested in having a great career or climbing a corporate ladder or being inside much at all, actually. I don’t like to stay with things too long, either. I’ve worked as a short line cook, a firefighter and a dolphin trainer among other things. So, when the ladies at the Good Grief senior living center offer me a short term job as the photographer for the risqué nature calendar they want to pose for – to cross it off of Miss Agnes’s bucket list – I am all in. A few online photography courses later and I am ready to roll. Unfortunately, the guide of our choice, my sister’s fiancé, Bain, is all booked up. So he gets us his brother, Hoover, instead. Hoover and I have a bit of history, but he is as boring as the day is long and I couldn’t be less interested. Everything is going as planned until Miss Agnes decides she actually has being a photographer on her bucket list, Miss Harriet comes down with a severe case of sunburn on her nether regions and Miss Gertrude runs off with her favorite narrator. Suddenly I’m the star of the risqué calendar, Miss Agnes is taking my picture and Hoover…well, Hoover disapproves of pretty much everything, and he hates me, too. I want to fire him, but Miss Agnes has other plans… Hoover I thought I was leading a tour to show the ladies Idaho’s scenic places and wildlife. I was misinformed, although Kori equals wild life. Way too wild for me. I mean, show the woman a mud puddle and she wants to skinny dip in it. Then, Miss Agnes decides that I should be in the calendar too, and I have an eighty year old woman explaining to me what a speedo is… I’m on to Miss Agnes’s plans, but I’m not sure Kori and I are strong enough to fight the tide… Listen to Jay Dyess perform this book - for FREE - on YouTube on the Say with Jay channel. Reviews for Me and the Dreamy Doomsday: ★★★★★ "What a light, funny, friendly and romantic cozy read. Jessie Gussman did it again! I couldn’t put the book down until I completed it. Some books tend to drag, but not this one. If you follow Jessie online or through her weekly emails, there are some surprises in the book. You’ll have to read it to find out what they are. I highly recommend this book." - Colleen ★★★★★ "So many of this author's books hit me in areas I haven't examined. Ouch! This is a very good book! I highly recommend it." - Amber ★★★★★ "This is one of my favorite authors and I haven't found a series by her that I dislike." - Pam ★★★★★ "Me and the Dreamy Doomsday is another zany, small town, romantic comedy from Jessie Gussman. Once again we meet Miss Agnes and her bucket list. Miss Agnes is still matchmaking as she hires a guide and a photographer for her risqué calendar shoot in the Idaho wilds. You will not want to miss this well written adventure with these charismatic characters. I could not put it down!" - Bernadette ★★★★★ "Jessie's writing strikes my funny bone and this story is no exception." - S.Neilsen Books in the Sweet, Small Town Romantic Comedy in Good Grief, Idaho series: Me and the Cute Catastrophe Me and the Tidy Tornado Me and the Helpful Hurricane Me and the Sweet Snowstorm Me and the Dreamy Doomsday

Book Description
Claire HardingI live in Idaho. (Yes, potatoes. *eye roll* Can we talk about something else?) And I love it here. Small town values galore and it's right where I want to raise my girls after my jerk ex traded me in for a "younger, newer model" (his words, not mine).My mom's the volunteer fire chief in our town and I'm pretty happy hanging out with the auxiliary at the fire hall and doing her grunt work - NOT fighting fires, because, please, I read, love science and my idea of a lot of exercise is having to walk up the stairs twice in the morning before I send my girls off to school and leave for my job as a home nurse.I guess it's kind of weird that I also coach basketball. Long story.I was pretty happy with my life until the hot shot, all-state baller from my teen years moved back in next door. (I babysat him, yes, but I never changed his diapers. Just wanted to be clear about that.)Guess who's now the assistant b-ball coach? Logic would say me - especially since I coached my entire first year holding the play book upside down (it turned out to be an old football playbook from the '80s, so it's not like it mattered which way I held it) but the accurate answer is Trey Haywood, my all-star neighbor, and I'm honestly not sure which of us is more upset about it.Anyway, the team was trying to set us up (girls, they're such romantics) and I don't think they would have succeeded, but in celebration of breaking our 37 game losing streak, they locked Trey and me in the septic system control room. That changed everything. Not in a good way.TreyYeah. What she said.And...when I first saw her again, I thought she was a catastrophe. New thought post septic control: she's a cute catastrophe. (And, holy man, can she kiss.)

Book Description
Kimber I’m a city girl and proud of it. Chicago is my hometown and I’m in my element surrounded by people and buildings and busyness. Actually, my business – my vlog – depends on my interactions with people. You can’t go viral talking about your pet turtle. Well, maybe some people can, but that’s not how I became a highly paid influencer. I was happy to use my influence to help my grandmother, Agnes, save her assisted care facility. I thought I was going to hate being out in the wilderness for days on end…bugs and bears and no internet or sushi bars. To my surprise, I kind of…liked it. To my further surprise, I found myself wanting to linger around our tour guide, Bain. He’s a rugged, outdoorsy type – not the kind of guy I’ve ever found attractive. But he was so good at what he did – just tough and rugged and unafraid of anything. Who doesn’t find confidence and competence in a man attractive? Regardless, while I am going back out to Idaho to attend a wedding, and some small part of me wants to see Bain again, the bigger, more sophisticated part of me knows that there will never be anything between us unless of course, The Snowstorm of the Century happens to occur while I’m there and we take a snowmobile ride, get lost, find our way to a remote cabin and ride out the storm in blissful (or not so blissful) seclusion. But, come on, what are the odds of that happening? Bain Pretty good, it turns out. Back east, I’ve heard they call those late spring snows “sugar snows” because of the maple syrup and such. For me, here in Idaho, I just call it what it is: perfect timing for me and my sweet snowstorm. Reviews for Me and the Sweet Snowstorm: ★★★★★ "Each book in the Good Grief, Idaho series is full of fascinating characters, wonderful humour with and a sweet, unexpected romance. This book is no exception." - Rebmay ★★★★★ "...if you want a heart melting story about two very different people who find out that you really can build on feelings of attraction, you'll like this book. ." - Alison ★★★★★ "This is another wonderful installment by Jessie Gussman about a colorful cast of characters in Good Grief, Idaho. It makes me wish I could pack a bag and go visit this bunch - especially Miss Agnes! She's the best!" - Tracey ★★★★★ "I thought my favorite thing about romance stories was watching the couple recognize they loved each other, but I realize that my favorite thing is watching them figure out how to be together." - MaryEllen ★★★★★ "Oh my gosh, I just love Good Grief, Idaho. All the characters are lovable and maybe slightly crazy." - Lucia Books in the Sweet, Small Town Romantic Comedy in Good Grief, Idaho series: Me and the Cute Catastrophe Me and the Tidy Tornado Me and the Helpful Hurricane Me and the Sweet Snowstorm Me and the Dreamy Doomsday

Book Description
Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. “A tour de force.”—The New York Times Book Review For Kivrin, preparing to travel back in time to study one of the deadliest eras in humanity’s history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin—barely of age herself—finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history’s darkest hours.

Book Description
A glimpse into the mind of the bestselling science fiction author through a collection of his personal, metaphysical, religious, visionary writings. Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the definitive presentation of Dick’s brilliant, and epic, final work. In The Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what he called “2-3-74,” a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe “transformed into information.” In entries that sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, Dick tried to write his way into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of imagination and invention to the limit, adding to, revising, and discarding theory after theory, mixing in dreams and visionary experiences as they occurred, and pulling it all together in three late novels known as the VALIS trilogy. In this abridgment, Jackson and Lethem serve as guides, taking the reader through the Exegesis and establishing connections with moments in Dick’s life and work. The e-book includes a sample chapter from A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. “A dyspeptic dystopian’s mad secret notebooks, imposing order—at least of a kind—on a chaotic world…Fascinating and unsettling.”—Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
Being ghosted by my best friend's brother was easier to get over than the pink positive sign I got six weeks later. From Marie Johnston comes a small town, best friend's brother, accidental pregnancy romance. With our ten-year age difference, I didn’t think I was more to Stetson Barron than his little sister’s quirky best friend. Until one hot summer night at his cousin’s wedding when I climbed him like a water tower. And then we pretended nothing happened. A pink plus sign and a panic attack later, the trailer house I share with my mom burns down. Stetson shows up at the ER like a country knight on a diesel-powered steed, arranges a place for my mom to stay, and takes me home with him. Being with Stetson should be a fantasy come to life, but I’m waiting for my prince to ride away. I’m the pauper in our little story, and his family will make sure he knows it. My mom was in the same situation once, and I’ve learned her lesson—alone is better than abandoned. I want to be with the man of my dreams, but Stetson has to prove he’s dedicated or I’ll take my broken heart and go. Make Me Dream is a standalone novel in the Oil Barrons series.
