Fluke : chance, chaos, and why everything we do matters / by Klaas, Brian P.(Brian Paul),1986-author.;
In the perspective-altering tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's 'The Tipping Point' and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's 'The Black Swan', 'Fluke' is a provocative challenge to how we think our world works-and why small, chance events can divert our lives and change everything. Drawing on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Brian Klaas provides a brilliantly fresh look at why things happen-all while providing mind-bending lessons on how we can live smarter, be happier, and lead more fulfilling lives.

The Christmas Countdown [electronic resource] : by Cassidy, Holly.aut; cloudLibrary;
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A charming holiday rom com about a young, recently heartbroken woman who is tasked by her sister to complete Advent calendar challenges in the lead up to Christmas to reignite her belief in herself, the holidays, and love again. She’s given up on love and Christmas…but fate has other plans. All Callie wants for Christmas is to hibernate. She’s just been dumped by her childhood sweetheart, and under no circumstances will she go home for the holidays considering her ex will be right next door with his new, perfect partner. Callie is officially in grinch mode, but her meddling sister, Anita, won’t let her give up on life, love, and Christmas quite so easily. Anita stages a Christmas intervention for Callie with a homemade Advent calendar challenge—cheerful tasks to push Callie out of her comfort zone and into the holiday spirit, inspired by a childhood tradition. Callie reluctantly plays along, but when she comes face-to-face with a charming baker who just might be the spoonful of sugar she needs, her strict rules on love and the holidays are tested. As they strike a deal to do the activities together, could the twenty four little doors on Callie’s Advent calendar not only open up one, but two closed-off hearts?

Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret A Festive Mystery [electronic resource] : by Stevenson, Benjamin.aut; cloudLibrary;

Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible murder or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues. If Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club kissed under the mistletoe. My name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong. So here I am, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters: masters of the art of misdirection. THE MAGICIAN THE ASSISTANT THE EXECUTIVE THE HYPNOTIST THE IDENTICAL TWIN THE COUNSELLOR  THE TECH My clues are even more abstract: A suspect covered in blood, without a memory of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens. And an advent calendar. Because, you know, it’s Christmas. If I can see through the illusions, I know I can solve it. After all, a good murder is just like a magic trick, isn’t it?

Though Charlene's hands are full with a dozen gorgeous models, Dane is the only diva ... pitching fits, making unreasonable demands, and generally being a mood killer ... until a real killer strikes and puts the whole shoot on ice. With more suspects than a jumbo box of chocolates, Charlene, Jack, and Detective Sam Holden race to find the one person filled with murderous intent.

Care of : letters, connections, and cures / by Coyote, Ivan,1969-author.;
"In the early days of the coronavirus lockdown, like every artist and creator, writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote was faced with a calendar full of cancelled shows and a heart full of questions that all rhymed with what now? To keep busy while figuring out what to write about next, Ivan began to answer the backlog of mail and correspondences that had come in while they were on the pre-pandemic road: emails, letters, direct messages on social media, soggy handwritten notes found tucked under the windshield wiper of their car after a gig, all of it. In Care Of, Coyote combines the most moving and powerful of these letters with the responses they've sent in the months since the lockdown. Taken together, they become an affirming and joyous reflection on many of the themes and ideas central to Coyote's beloved work as an author and storyteller--a giant love letter to the idea of human connection and the power of truly listening to each other"--
