- Here One Moment [electronic resource] : by Moriarty, Liane.aut; Lee, Caroline.nrt; Hakewill, Geraldine.nrt; cloudLibrary;
“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it, and then she does, on a dime.”—Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate? Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed.   Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.   How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.”   Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable.   A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.   If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?   Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. A modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can’t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel.- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Psychological; Family Life; Contemporary Women;

- Softly, as I leave you : life after Elvis / by Presley, Priscilla,1945-author.; Ross, Mary Jane,author.;
"Since first publishing her best-selling memoir, "Elvis and Me," in 1985, life hasn't slowed down a wink for Priscilla Presley. In addition to launching new business ventures and helping turn Graceland into one of the nation's most popular tourist attractions, she's starred in a number of film and TV shows, produced several more, and dedicated time and energy to a number of charitable endeavors, including the Dream Foundation. However, that hasn't stopped Hollywood from releasing a number of films (most recently, Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" in 2022 and Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla" in 2023) seeking to capitalize on the complicated relationship she shared with her ex-husband. Priscilla has mostly held her tongue up to this point -- but now she wants to regain control of her own narrative. In this new memoir, Priscilla Presley seizes her last chance to speak to Elvis fans about lingering questions regarding his legacy and everything that's happened to her since the first book published. She reveals never-before-shared behind-the-scenes truths in these pages, including Elvis' trials and tribulations in Hollywood; his desire to turn Graceland into a sanctuary and away from his public role and his grueling last days; the devastating impact of the death of her mother-in-law; Elvis's affair with Ann-Margret and its aftermath; among others. She also dives into the lives of their children and grandchildren, including her daughter's marriage to Michael Jackson, as well as her tragic addictions and death; the heartbreaking loss of her grandson; the role Scientology played in the family's life and why she left it; her thoughts on current films depicting the life she shared with Elvis; and much, much more. Packed with revelations and written in riveting prose, Priscilla's new memoir will be the definitive statement on her extraordinary life -- and it will shed new light on one of the most famous legacies in modern entertainment history"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Presley, Priscilla, 1945-; Presley, Elvis, 1935-1977.; Businesswomen; Motion picture actors and actresses; Rock musicians' spouses; Television actors and actresses;
