Lady anne glenconner memoir5/12/2023 They coughed politely, but she achieved both, and then embarked on a whirlwind of book tours, lectures, interviews, and podcasts. She told them that if she did produce a book she would want to sell at least 500,000 copies and appear on Graham Norton’s TV show. Perrin said she should write a book about it and sent her to meet the team at Hodder. She’d just read a biography of Princess Margaret which she thought was unfair, so she was talking about her own experiences as the Princess’s Lady in Waiting. It started at a lunch with friends in Norfolk where she met a publisher called Tom Perrin. Three years on from Lady in Waiting, it’s great to have another memoir from Lady Glenconner who, at 90, says she’s loving her new literary career.

The reading promise by alice ozma5/12/2023 For many of you, this could be a trip down memory lane. The conversations may remind you of your own. The books are important, but the conversations they started, and the bonds they created, are what really matter. This book is about the 3,218 nights my father and I spent reading anything and everything we could find. This book is about the act of reading, and the time spent doing it. My father and I did these things, and perhaps they could have made for a good book. There are no in-depth discussions of symbolism, no characters are painstakingly analyzed, and no one stops what they are doing to ponder the meaning of a line or a phrase while riding a roller coaster, eating a sandwich, or dancing to a swing band. This is a book about how books can bring people together, and how that bond can last a lifetime. This is a book about the living, breathing creatures in the world around us who need our love.

Call the coroner avril ashton5/11/2023 In a war this bloodied, what do you do when the bodies start hitting the floor? **Warning: Gun play, knife play, blood play, breath play. He’s also alone, but there’d been a time when he had love. As head of the Haitian mafia, Mathieu Pascal is dangerous, ruthless, and cold-hearted. Now, one man wants another chance to make things right, while the other doesn’t know if he can risk his heart again. This time, they’re fighting a losing battle against a connection forged by much more than a love of violence and bloodshed. by Avril Ashton ( 70 ) £3.98 £12.25 They used to have it all. Grief and hatred collide with lust and obsession, and this time Daniel and Stavros are on the same side. Somewhere between the slide of knife against skin, and the drip of blood on cold concrete, things change. Starved of food, sunlight and freedom, he waits for an opening to turn the tables on the only man who’s ever come close enough to scare him. Time spent in Daniel Nieto’s dungeon, chained and tortured, will never change that. The title of monster fits too well for Stavros to want to be anything other than what he is. With the whisper of one name, he puts it all on the line for vengeance. “A clash of wills between predators… He’s been living underground for a long time, but the only thing guaranteed to bring Daniel Nieto back to the surface is the identity of his wife’s killer.

Heart of darkness cliff notes5/11/2023 The good news is that we get to choose how we’re going to let it affect us. The comparison mandate becomes this crushing paradox of “Fit in and stand out!” It’s not be yourself and respect others for being authentic, it’s “Fit in, but win.” When we compare, we want to be the best or have the best of our group. When we compare ourselves with others, we are ranking around a specific collection of “alike things.” We may compare things like how we parent with families who have totally different values or traditions from ours, but the comparisons that get us really riled up are the ones we make with the folks living next door. Vulnerability is not weakness it’s our greatest measure of courage.Ĭomparison says, “Be like everyone else, but better.”Īt first it might seem that conforming and competing are mutually exclusive, but they’re not. Vulnerability is not oversharing, it’s sharing with people who have earned the right to hear our stories and our experiences. It also takes discipline and self-awareness to understand what to share and with whom. In a world where perfectionism, pleasing, and proving are used as armor to protect our egos and our feelings, it takes a lot of courage to show up and be all in when we can’t control the outcome. Vulnerability is the emotion that we experience during times of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Kindle | Hardcover | Audiobook Places We Go When Things Are Uncertain or Too Much

Matthew mcconaughey greenlights review5/11/2023 Part One deals with his childhood with unsentimental clarity. The focus of Greenlights is on the formation of McConaughey’s character and personal value set. The result is a frank and friendly memoir of a kid from a working-class background who hit the jackpot and rose to Hollywood fame (sometimes despite himself), keeping his eyes open and wits about him throughout the journey. McConaughey, obviously comfortable expressing himself in writing, has developed the rich, inner life that comes from honest personal exploration. A self-confessed diarist, Matthew McConaughey draws on a trove of handwritten notes, journals, poems and short stories he’s been collecting since boyhood in his new and utterly charming 500-page memoir Greenlights.
