The next thing you know / by Strawser, Jessica,author.;
"A musician facing the untimely end of his career. An end-of-life doula with everything, and nothing, to lose. A Star Is Born meets Me Before You in this powerful novel by the author of A Million Reasons Why. As an end-of-life doula, Nova Huston's job-her calling, her purpose, her life-is to help terminally ill people make peace with their impending death. Unlike her business partner, who swears by her system of checklists, free-spirited Nova doesn't shy away from difficult clients: the ones who are heartbreakingly young, or prickly, or desperate for a caregiver or companion. When Mason Shaylor shows up at her door, Nova doesn't recognize him as the indie-favorite singer-songwriter who recently vanished from the public eye. She knows only what he's told her: That life as he knows it is over. His deteriorating condition makes playing his guitar physically impossible-as far as Mason is concerned, he might as well be dead already. Except he doesn't know how to say goodbye. Helping him is Nova's biggest challenge yet. She knows she should keep clients at arm's length. But she and Mason have more in common than anyone could guess ... and meeting him might turn out to be the hardest, best thing that's ever happened to them both. The Next Thing You Know is an emotional, resonant story about the power of human connection, love when you least expect it, hope against the odds, and what it really takes to live life with no regrets"--

Try hard : creative work in progress / by Kerman, Max,author.;
"Frontman of the multiplatinum band Arkells shares unpretentious stories and inspiration from a life spent chasing his creative passions and making things with friends. Max Kerman might be one of the biggest stars in Canadian music, but it's not for lack of trying. Being a self-professed "tryhard" is a big part of what keeps him going. While some tout the magic of creativity and others imagine creativity as a river flowing in and out of us, Max's thoughts about creativity reflect the realities of everyday people and their everyday lives: If you want more creativity in your life, it's as simple as leaning into your passions -- the things that keep you entertained -- and figuring out how to see your creative ideas through. Try Hard is a book for anyone looking for some daily inspiration to follow their creative instincts or to bring more creativity into their lives, even if being creative doesn't seem like part of your daily life. For Max, creativity is about self-generated action and momentum. It's about keeping yourself entertained and surrounding yourself with people you admire and who make every creative riddle one worth solving. Through formative stories growing up as a pretty average kid in Toronto to lessons he's learned grinding it out with his bandmates, Max shows us how not having a rigid creative process is, in fact, a process, how to find things in common with even the most unlikely collaborators, and how bringing a creative mindset with you into everything you do can lead to a life that leaves you feeling energized"--
