Spill Simmer Falter Witherby Sara Baume

This captivating story follows — over the course of four seasons — a misfit man who adopts a misfit dog.

It is springtime, and two outcasts — a man ignored, even shunned by his village, and the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet, tightly shuttered life — find each other, by accident or fate, and forge an unlikely connection. As their friendship grows, their small, seaside town suddenly takes note of them, falsely perceiving menace where there is only mishap; the unlikely duo must take to the road.  Gorgeously written in poetic and mesmerizing prose, Spill Simmer Falter Wither has already garnered wild support in its native Ireland, where the Irish Times pointed to Baume’s “astonishing power with language” and praised it as “a novel bursting with brio, braggadocio and bite.” It is also a moving depiction of how — over the four seasons echoed in the title — a relationship between fellow damaged creatures can bring them both comfort. One of those rare stories that utterly, completely imagines its way into a life most of us would never see, it transforms us not only in our understanding of the world, but also of ourselves.

Match Me Upby Weston Parker

The hottest nerd I know just became my roommate.

But it’s a no-go on the downlow, seeing as he’s my best friend’s brother.

The best part is that he’s a hunk and a half, but oh so smart.

How can one guy have all the good stuff? And now he’s in my face all the time.

I just needed a place to stay while I’m in grad school.

And it’s entertaining watching this sexy IT genius create a new dating app.

Not so fun being his guinea pig until something crazy happens…

He turns out to be my perfect match on the app.

We’re too good as friends to mess this up, plus my BFF is less than thrilled about all of it.

No matter how much I want this guy, he’s gonna have to match me up with someone else.

As if.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Never Take for Granted: How a Near-death Accident and a Traumatic Brain Injury Showed me how much I'd taken for Grantedby Debbie Grosser

How a near-death accident and a Traumatic Brain Injury showed me how much I’d taken for Granted. COVID 19 proved we all take things and people for granted. How to develop an Attitude of Gratitude

An inspirational memoir based upon my whole life (thus far) but it’s heavily weighted on the last 9+ years since my survival of a near-death accident in Aug 2011. I chronicle my early life, my 25 year marriage, my 30 years on Wall Street and my career as an avid age-grouper, all-distance triathlete. I competed and completed all-distances of triathlon including the Ironman at Lake Placid, NY in 2005.

Love Unfailingby Tara Taffera

Anna Andros, a new Christian, becomes enraptured by the worship leader on stage each Sunday. His love for the Lord appears as solid as his strong muscles on display each week. The attraction is mutual, and Anna is drawn in by his charm.

Meanwhile, she becomes closer to another man, this one a lifelong Christian and family friend. Conflict arises as she is torn between the two men in her life. Is the worship leader as genuine as he seems? Or is the one she has known for years who God has in mind for her?

A crisis at the church puts things into perspective for Anna. Who is the one who will stand beside her? Why is the pastor turning a blind eye to the hurt Anna endured? Will God answer prayers and give Anna the healing and love she so deserves?
