Build Your Own Christmas Movie Romance
Create the Christmas romance of your dreams, scene by scene, twist by charmingly predictable twist—each choice is yours. Slip on your favorite Christmas sweater, cozy up to a crackling fire, sip some spiced eggnog, and prepare to experience the ultimate holiday love story. But instead of watching it on some cheesy cable channel, open this book and put yourself in the director’s chair. First, decide your heroine’s problem. Was she just fired from her big city business job? Avoiding going home for Christmas? Or did she just realize the man who proposed to her maybe isn't Mr. Right? Then it's time to meet the man--should your heroine end up with the big city business exec, the small town ...

Un viitor pe care îl putem iubi
În ianuarie 2021, când Dalai Lama și Greta Thunberg s-au întâlnit pentru prima dată în mediul online și au discutat, milioane de oameni din întreaga lume au reacționat pozitiv. „Este încurajator să vezi cum ai deschis ochii lumii întregi în legătură cu nevoia urgentă de a ne proteja planeta, singura noastră casă”, i-a scris Dalai Lama Gretei înainte de întâlnirea lor. Un viitor pe care îl putem iubi împărtășește cuvintele acestor două mari personalități, care fac parte din generații diferite, aducându-le în dialog cu pionieri în domeniul climatic – oameni de știință, activiști și lideri spirituali – pentru a începe o conversație care să schimbe lumea. Astfel, cititorii pornesc într-o călătorie în patru părți în direcția speranței active manifestate în fața crizei climatice: de la noțiunile privind schimbările climatice până la voința necesară și acțiunile pe care le putem întreprinde în acest scop.
Een toekomst om van te houden
Greta Thunberg en de Dalai Lama in gesprek over de toekomst van onze planeet. Een wake-upcall, zo kunnen we Greta Thunbergs toespraak tijdens de VN-Klimaattop wel noemen. Haar inmiddels beroemde woorden ‘How dare you?’ gingen de hele wereld over en bereikten ook de Dalai Lama. Enorm onder de indruk van haar bezielende betoog besloot hij Greta een brief te schrijven, die leidde tot een intiem en inspirerend gesprek tussen de twee – en tot dit boek. In Een toekomst om van te houden laat Susan Bauer-Wu aan de hand van de inzichten van Greta Thunberg en de Dalai Lama zien dat er nog hoop is voor onze planeet. In buitengewoon bemoedigende woorden vertellen de geliefde religieuze wereldleider en de jonge activiste hoe we klimaatverandering tegen kunnen gaan: een inspirerende en hoopvolle oproep om actie te ondernemen en onze planeet, ons enige thuis, te beschermen.
If You Ask Me
Hi. I'm Libby Gelman-Waxner, and I'm an assistant buyer in juniors' activewear. While I find my work both rewarding and creative, especially with the new knits coming in, I want more.

Momlandia
When two college roommates reconnect after twenty years and find themselves both pregnant with baby girls, nothing could seem more blissful. That is, until they actually have the babies.

Together, they wade through the strange vortex of momlife, navigating GMO-sized body parts, tangled breast pumps, and sudden-onset husband hatred. Where is the glitter-filled Momtopia they were marketed? Strapping on their belly bands and pulling up their postpartum panties, these BFFs guzzle coffee and kale in search of organic motherhood. Hand-churning flax muffins while fighting their own muffintops, surely they can become the selfless, maternal saints they’d envisioned themselves to be. Or can they? To all those “natural” moms in search of perfection, we hail you, one momguilt, mombod, momfail at a time.

The Crying Book
This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.
