The seasonal picture sticks with me for years, helping me recall childhood favorites and their prized place on our shelves: Goodnight Moon The Velveteen Rabbit The Little Prince Little Women The Phantom Tollbooth, Trumpet of the Swan, Nancy Drew, Eloise, Curious George, and much much more. Snowflakes settle, stockings come second, and time softly sifts, like sand through an hourglass. Each book contains beautiful illustrations and creative language - to be specially unwrapped under the home tree, complete with real candles in small glass holders - another tradition, I learn, that is passed on through the Franck family of German descent. I wonder which titles are chosen for that now distant year, and I begin to imagine a multitude of picture books over the decades prior. Once sitting around the old oak Planning table on the fifth floor of Russell Hall, Jane, our former library director, quietly shares that every Christmas she and her two grown daughters gift each other a children's book. Mirelle Ortego, Magic: Once Upon a Faraway Land You can feel it in the air, even in a new faraway land. Like when jarochas dance! Magic is everywhere. Like when sounds are woven together into beautiful music. Like when strangers turn into friends and houses into homes. Like when simple ingredients turn into delicious meals. Like when people's hands touch the earth and plant seeds that become fruit. This is the typical profile of a wealthy, financially independent person from the study: The authors identify a “millionaire” as someone who owns significant assets (including cash, investments, appreciable assets), with a net worth of at least US$1 million.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the process of accumulating wealth is not a flashy, rapid process, but a slow one that takes years. However, a lavish lifestyle is merely a sign of high expenses and not necessarily wealth. Most people define wealth as having plenty of material possessions. Do get a copy of our complete book summary bundle or read the book for more details! In this summary, we’ll share the key ideas from the book. In The Millionaire Next Door, Stanley and Danko present the surprising findings (based on 20 years of research) of how the majority of self-made millionaires truly live and build their wealth. Many people dream of becoming millionaires and enjoying a lavish lifestyle. “Where we had once been free to be ourselves online,” she writes, “we were now chained to ourselves online.” She then explores how it all became corrupted, the endless possibilities of the internet growing harsher and meaner, until it felt like we had become at the mercy of an online world that had shaped our real-world personalities for the worse. During Trick Mirror, her first collection of essays, she writes about her earliest memories of the digital world, the Angelfire web page she filled with choppy HTML flourishes and Dawson’s Creek references. In her best work, she uses the rise of the internet to chart our collective anxieties. Her work, as a staff writer for The New Yorker, often doubles as a kind of existential survival guide, regularly driven by how odd it is for a generation to have to navigate a world increasingly lived online, where toxicity, capitalist horror and self-loathing has long bled into our everyday existences. Jia Tolentino has spent the past decade as our foremost expert on how to exist in the 21st century. This was a man with a lot of pride who didn\’t divulge any personal info about himself to Daisy, nor did he go quickly or quietly. However, slow!y but surely we got to see Daisy get under his skin and begin to defrost that frozen heart of his. I\’ll be honest, there were times he was so cold to Daisy that my heart hurt for her. As a boy, he suffered greatly from a violent and abusive uncle and as such, believed himself incapable of feeling love. I loved watching her grow she developed such a deep strength and the quirky way she handled Alex was so true to her character. I loved Daisy she was not only smart and sweet, but kind as well. My favorite book for 2018 and I wish I could give it more stars! The forced marriage trope is, by far, my guiltiest pleasure, but it has to be done just right, in order for it to work. Diana, the main character, is a witch but she’s a badass historian and is determined to earn her achievements in life her own way and not just by using magic for everything. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.Ī DISCOVERY OF WITCHES was not what I thought it would be. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks.

As always, Henry’s dialogue is sparkling and the banter between characters is snappy and hilarious. The problem with this plan, of course, is that Harriet still has major feelings for Wyn-feelings that only get stronger as they pretend to be blissfully in love. Determined to make sure everyone has the perfect last trip, Harriet and Wyn resolve to fake their relationship for the week. Telling the truth about their breakup is out of the question, because the cottage is up for sale, and this is the group’s last hurrah. But (surprise!) Wyn is there too, and he and Harriet have to share a (very romantic) room and a bed. She’s ready for a vacation at her happy place-the Maine cottage she and her friends visit every summer.

Wyn Connor and Harriet Kilpatrick were the perfect couple-until Wyn dumped Harriet for reasons she still doesn’t fully understand. Exes pretend they’re still together for the sake of their friends on their annual summer vacation.

Soon Charlaine was looking for another challenge, and the result was the much darker Lily Bard series. Her first Teagarden, Real Murders, garnered an Agatha nomination. After a child-producing sabbatical, Charlaine latched on to the trend of series, and soon had her own traditional mystery books about a Georgia librarian, Aurora Teagarden. The resulting two stand-alones were published by Houghton Mifflin. After holding down some low-level jobs, her husband Hal gave her the opportunity to stay home and write. Though her early output consisted largely of ghost stories, by the time she hit college (Rhodes, in Memphis) Charlaine was writing poetry and plays. Charlaine lives in Texas now, and all of her children and grandchildren are within easy driving distance. A native of the Mississippi Delta, she grew up in the middle of a cotton field. Charlaine Harris has been a published novelist for over thirty-five years. "Time and Tide" touched upon perhaps the most important facet of this book when it said, "It is not only a first-rate adventure but a parable of our times, " and articles on this and subsequent Golding novels have stressed these twin aspects of Golding: a consummate control of the novel form, and a superb all-encompassing vision of reality which communicates itself with a power reminiscent of Conrad.
