Book Description
Every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. This is the central idea of Beautiful Oops!, Barney Saltzberg’s beloved bestseller—and now My Book of Beautiful Oops!, an interactive journal for young artists, takes that principle into unexpected new directions. A hands-on journal that’s meant to be personalized—drawn in, painted on, torn up, smudged, or otherwise artistically wrecked—My Book of Beautiful Oops! is filled with folded, crumpled, die-cut, and lift-the-flap pages that will challenge the reader’s sense of play. The friendly green alligator from the first book prompts the reader: Bend a page. Decorate a smudge. Play with splats and spills. Even complete a poem that was accidentally ripped in half. My Beautiful Book of Oops! champions imagination, play, and the courage to express oneself. It’s about self-forgiveness, about turning off that inner critic that clamors for perfection. And it’s about freedom—the freedom to be creative and follow your curiosity wherever it goes. That’s a lesson to celebrate.

Languages : en
Pages : 1276
Book Description
Get all five Hollywood to Olympus romances in one great set. Screen Idol If actor Chris Peck plays his cards right, acting as the slave-for-a-day could earn him the leading roll in an upcoming movie, but the winner wants nothing to do with him. Sydney Richardson should have locked the door when a Greek god appeared on her front step at sunrise. After months of work to ensure her fundraiser goes off without a hitch, she can't afford to waste time with a TV hunk, no matter how good he looks in a toga. Chris is captivated by Sydney and he promises to put her charity efforts over the top. However, just when he convinces Sydney they could have a real chance together, the movie's producers offer him an audition that means leaving Sydney in the lurch. The king of the gods has until sunset to prove to his new off-screen love interest that Hollywood magic and true-life romance can co-exist. Drama Queen Layla Andrews isn't really a bitch – she just plays one on television. For the last year, she's acted like one while she was forced to serve probation for something she didn't do. Now she's done her time and she's ready to start living again. Russ Vukovich, the show's fight coordinator, had been attracted to Layla since the first time he saw her, but as they gets closer, he also sees more of what she hides beneath the mask she wears. As Layla and Russ try to navigate their new relationship, families, danger, and secrets work against them at every turn. Can they find a true happily-ever-after when they are surrounded by lies? Leading Man Olympus heartthrob Nick Thurston is a leading man with a problem. His new play opens in a month and when it comes to the pivotal waltz scene, he can't lead. Ashleigh Jessup needs to find a new building to take her booming dance studio to the next level. She doesn't have time for a private student, but she'll make an exception to earn extra money for her down payment. Things heat up on the dance floor and between the sheets, but when past relationships intrude on the present, Nick and Ashleigh must decide if their future is worth a fight. It Girl Sean Glenn fell for Caitlin the first time he saw her, almost a year ago. Now that the rising star is working on his show, he could finally have a shot with her, if it weren't for his well-known history as a player. Entertainer Caitlin Kelly has spent the last decade taking every job she could get. When her new role on a hit show brings fame and a potential real-life love interest, she has to make some serious choices about her priorities. While Caitlin is torn about decisions the spotlight forces on her, especially those regarding Sean, the actor is suffering his own problems with stardom. Sean finds himself in a stalker's sights, and the safest place for Caitlin may be far away from him. Is love strong enough to keep them together? Action Hero Nobody in Hollywood takes cable television star Glinda Crawford seriously, and that's not going to change with her next movie, which has descended into a cheesy flick about rabid, cyborg, panda assassins. Mike Mosley has leveraged his teen-age TV heartthrob days into a successful adult acting career, but the first week on the set of his new movie with his Olympus co-star Glinda has him second-guessing everything: his plans, his single status, and just how dangerous robot pandas can be. When script shenanigans spill into the real world, the attraction Glinda and Mike have been faking turns into a hot, real-life adventure. If they can survive this movie, they can survive anything together. However, the shocking finale surprises them both.

Hitler's War
Author: Harry Turtledove
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 034551565X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared. Now, in this thrilling alternate history, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? In this action-packed chronicle of the war that might have been, Harry Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell the story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China and ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory—and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast. A tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, at once brilliantly imaginative and hugely entertaining, Hitler’s War captures the beginning of a very different World War II—with a very different fate for our world today. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Harry Turtledove's The War that Came Early: West and East.
