Fans of Hannah Grace and Elle Kennedy, meet your new obsession! The international college-romance phenomenon with over one million copies sold, now being adapted into an Amazon Prime TV series. He's the campus bad boy. She's his neighbour's ex. Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea? Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached. So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids – yet somehow impossible to ignore. That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls. Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by. Pick this up if you love: frenemies to lovers, reluctant roommates, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, found family.

The Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller ' The master of productivity.' Steven Bartlett, creator of Diary of a CEO 'The book we've all been waiting for.' Dr Julie Smith, author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? 'Will guide you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed of.' Jay Shetty, author of Think Like a Monk and 8 Rules of Love The secret to productivity isn't discipline. It's joy. We have all been told that the secret to productivity is simple: work harder. The trouble is, endless hard work doesn't just make us unhappier - it makes us less productive too. Here, Dr Ali Abdaal draws on the latest scientific research to show that the most productive people aren't those with the strongest discipline, or even the best habits: they're the ones who find meaning in the tasks before them. Along the way, he sketches out a healthier, happier path to accomplishing what matters - one rooted in discovering joy in everything you do.

From New York Times bestseller J.T. Geissinger comes a high-octane, tautly written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping for more! A beautiful Deluxe Limited Edition of the viral sensation and national bestseller Pen Pal, featuring: ¿ Designed stenciled edges ¿ Full color art on reverse of the dust jacket ¿ All-new full-color illustrated endpapers ¿ A foil case stamp ¿ A brand new bonus chapter It all began with just one line. "I'll wait forever if I have to." The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I'll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn't know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You. I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn't. I said we'd never met, but he said I was wrong. We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late. Dante was at my doorstep. And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

FACING THE LION is the autobiographical account of a young girl's faith and courage. In the years immediately preceding World War II, Simone Arnold is a young girl who delights in life – her doting parents, her loving aunts and uncles, and her grandparents at their mountain farm in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. As Simone grows into her preteen years, her parents turn from the Catholic Church and become devout Jehovah's Witnesses. Simone, too, embraces the faith. The Nazi party (the "Lion") takes over Alsace-Lorraine, and Simone's schools become Nazi propaganda machines. Simone refuses to accept the Nazi party as being above God. Her simple acts of defiance lead her to be persecuted by the school staff and local officials, and ignored by friends. With her father already taken away to a German concentration camp, Simone is wrested away from her mother and sent to a reform school to be "reeducated." There, Simone learns that her mother has also been put in a camp. Simone remains in the harsh reform school until the end of the war. She emerges feeling detached from life, but the faith that sustains her through her ordeals helps her rebuild her world. Facing the Lion provides an interesting and detailed view of ordinary country and town life in the pre-war years and during Hitler's regime. This inspiring story of a young girl standing up for her beliefs in the face of society's overwhelming pressure to conform is a potent reminder of the power of remaining true to one's beliefs.

Bloomsbury presents We Are Movement: Unlocking Your Physical Intelligence by Wayne McGregor, read by John SackvilleHow much do you know about your body? How much does your body know about you?Internationally celebrated choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor is renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance. His ongoing enquiries into movement and the body have radically defined dance in the modern era.

Using simple steps, from practicing mindful walking to harnessing our bodies' chemical reaction to stress, he teaches us how to become better communicators and more creative thinkers, so we can ultimately live fuller lives.Elegant, cutting-edge and practical, We Are Movement is a user-friendly guide to priming your physical intelligence that will revolutionise the way you live your life.

Can a man who loves his small hometown trust it to love him back? Jared Thomas has lived in the mountain town of Coda, Colorado his whole life. He can't imagine living anywhere else. But Jared's opportunities are limited—the only other gay man in town is twice his age, and although Jared originally planned to be a teacher, the backlash that might accompany the gig keeps him working at his family's store instead. Then Matt Richards moves to town. Matt may not be into guys, but he doesn't care that Jared is. A summer camping and mountain biking together cements their friendship, but when Matt realizes he's attracted to Jared, he panics and withdraws, leaving Jared all too aware of what he's missing. Facing Matt's affair with a local woman, his disapproving family, and harassment from Matt's coworkers, Jared fears they'll never find a way to be together. But for the first time, he has the courage to try… if he can only convince Matt. **Meant to Be** Jared has simple goals for his freshman year of college: make friends, lose his virginity, come out, and maybe fall in love. He doesn't anticipate getting caught between his friend Bryan and Bryan's flamboyant ex.

Explore the full scope of the Enneagram to illuminate your greatest wisdom, become your truest self, and face life's challenges with fortitude and grace "Who am I, really?" It's such a fundamental question of human existence that entire schools of philosophy, spirituality, and scientific pursuit have been founded to ponder it. Of these, the Enneagram is one of the most robust and informative tools for investigating some of the deeper layers of the self, yet the full power of it is not always taught. Leading scholar Russ Hudson teaches, "Too often, the Enneagram is viewed as a set of simple personality types that lock us into fixed ideas about ourselves. In reality, it's a dynamic tool for transformation." With The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence, Hudson shares an in-depth audio training on how to use this powerful system the way it was originally intended-as a pathway to deeper self-knowledge and spiritual attunement. Rather than providing a simple explanatory guide to the Enneagram's nine personality types (such as the Achiever, the Investigator, or the Enthusiast), Hudson offers an in-depth training in the potential of the entire system. And when you understand the Enneagram as a whole, you will discover new avenues to emotional literacy, greater compassion, and the recognition of all life's inherent gifts. Here you will learn: ¿ Why attachment to a single personality type obscures the full purpose and potential of the Enneagram ¿ How to investigate and discern the purpose of lifelong survival strategies ¿ Each personality type's polarities-from passions to virtues, fixations to holy ideas ¿ How the Enneagram reveals deeper truths about our interconnectedness ¿ What different levels of self-development look like for each personality type ¿ How to bring the experience and lessons of Presence into everyday life Including guided meditation sessions tailored for each personality type, The Enneagram is an invitation to think beyond self-made boundaries and gain insight into your ongoing challenges, greatest strengths, and highest path of growth.

"With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life! Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.

On a night shift, the arithmetic is simple. You count the doors. Eighteen down the corridor of Ward D, one at the end, and the count is the same at three in the morning as it is at five. Ms Ward has worked nights for nine years, and she has never once counted the doors wrong. She is not a woman given to drama. She does not believe in ghosts. She has read enough of the human mind in distress to be careful about what she claims to have seen. That is why this book starts where it does: a patient counts the corridor, arrives at nineteen, and then, separately, she counts it too and arrives at nineteen as well. Two people. One number. Nothing supernatural has happened yet. The Silent Ward is a psychological horror novel assembled out of documents and their failure. Where a conventional haunted-house story supplies a seance, this one supplies a 1974 as-built drawing; an estate record stating that a room which does not appear in the file cannot be booked into, repaired, or admitted to; a minute book from a hospital management committee in 1961; a night-shift hours book in which every entry is made by whoever is holding the pen; a press photograph exposed at 22.40 on 13 May 1998, showing an empty corridor with somebody at the far end; and a duty roster with a name written in pencil that nobody remembers writing.

A fascinating exploration of the profound loss of pleasure in our daily lives and the seven steps for restoring it. Pleasure. We know what it feels like and many of us spend our days trying to experience it. But can too much pleasure actually be bad for us? Yes, says Dr. Archibald Hart, clinical psychologist and expert in behavorial psychology. Backed by recent brain-imaging research, Dr. Hart shares that to some extent, our pursuit of extreme and overstimulating thrills hijacks our pleasure system and robs us of our ability to experience pleasure in simple things. We are literally being thrilled to death. In this insightful book, Dr. Hart explores the stark rise in a phenomenon known as anhedonia, an inability to experience pleasure or happiness. Previously linked only to serious emotional disorders, anhedonia is now seen as a contributing factor in depression (specifically nonsadness depression) and in the growing number of people who complain of profound boredom. This emotional numbness and loss of joy are results of the overuse of our brain's pleasure circuits. In Thrilled to Death, Dr. Hart explains the processes of the brain's pleasure center, the damaging trends of overindulgence and overstimulation, the signs and problems of anhedonia, and the seven important steps we must take to recover our wonderful joy in living.

Leo watches the stars alone in the desert. He has a telescope, an old radio, and a sister who calls every night to ask him to come home. This graded reader for adult learners turns that quiet longing into a gripping science-fiction story you can actually read in English - even as a beginner. If you want easy English reading that feels like a real comic, not a textbook, The Star Watcher was built for you. One night a blue meteor falls near his telescope. Leo drives to the crater and finds a buried ship: old gray metal, but new blue lights. A door opens. He steps inside - and the door shuts behind him. A voice asks him to touch a floating blue object. A mark burns into his arm. A giant being of stars rises and asks him to guard the planet forever. Leo says yes. Then he looks down and sees the truth too late. WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT Every page pairs one clear image with a few simple sentences. You see the picture, you read the words, and the meaning stays. This is visual learning for ESL and EFL readers: vivid, direct, and easy to follow. The sentences are short. The grammar is A1 - present and past simple, "to be", "there is/are", and "can". You read a full, rewarding story without stopping to translate every line. The art carries the tension, so the words can stay simple. That is what makes this reader work for adults who feel stuck with apps and word lists. You are not memorizing single words on a screen - you are reading a story, and the vocabulary comes with you. Many learners can pass a grammar quiz but freeze when they try to read. This book fixes that. The pictures give you context before you even reach the words, so your brain reads for meaning, the way a fluent reader does. Page after page, that habit grows. By the end you have read a complete story in English, and it felt natural. The tone is dynamic and a little haunting - a lonely watcher, a falling star, a promise that costs everything. It is a story for grown-ups, told in words a beginner can hold. WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE - 118 pages (104 story pages) of full comic-book illustration - CEFR A1 level, ideal for beginners and false beginners - 1371 words of simple, natural English - 337 headwords, built on the most common English words - 10 picture-based exercises plus a full answer key >The story uses vocabulary you can see: star, sky, ship, radio, telescope, mark, meteor, crater, planet, door. Each new word is tied to a picture, so you learn it once and remember it. The plot pulls you forward with a compelling question - what is really inside the ship? - and every answer opens a new one, right up to the final page. Read it on a phone, a tablet, or in print. Read it once for the story, then again to notice how much you now understand without help. This is how reading in a new language should feel: rich, clear, and rewarding. This is part of the Comic Book Graded Readers series. Level 1 - A1 → Level 2 - A2 → Level 3 - A2+/B1. Start here and climb the ladder at your own pace. Open the book. Read a real story tonight. See the image. Know the word. Speak English with confidence. The stars are waiting.

Celebrating 40 years of the best-selling guide for coping with life's changes, named one of the 50 all-time best books in self-help and personal development -- with a new Discussion Guide for readers, written by Susan Bridges and aimed at today's current people and organizations facing unprecedented change First published in 1980, Transitions was the first book to explore the underlying and universal pattern of transition. Named one of the fifty most important self-help books of all time, Transitions remains the essential guide for coping with the inevitable changes in life. Transitions takes readers step-by-step through the three perilous stages of any transition, explaining how each stage can be understood and embraced. The book offers an elegant, simple, yet profoundly insightful roadmap to navigate change and move into a hopeful future: Endings . Every transition begins with one. Too often we misunderstand them, confuse them with finality -- that's it, all over, finished! Yet the way we think about endings is key to how we can begin anew. The Neutral Zone . The second hurdle: a seemingly unproductive time-out when we feel disconnected from people and things in the past, and emotionally unconnected to the present.

To make a successful new beginning requires more than simply persevering. It requires an understanding of the external signs and inner signals that point the way to the future.
