When all is said / by Griffin, Anne,1969-author.;
"If you had to pick five people to sum up your life, who would they be? If you were to raise a glass to each of them, what would you say? And what would you learn about yourself, when all is said? At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual -- though tonight is anything but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story. Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerful and poignantly laid bare. Beautifully heart-warming and powerfully felt, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said and done."--Provided by publisher.Winner of the John McGahern Award

Theodore Roosevelt. by Jones, Rufus,actor.; The History® Channel (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Rufus JonesOriginally produced by The History® Channel in 2022.Based upon Doris Kearns Goodwin's New York Times bestseller, "Leadership: In Turbulent Times" this two-part series provides a rich, panoramic portrait of the first modern President of the United States -- Theodore Roosevelt, a champion of social justice, a passionate conservationist and the self-proclaimed “bull moose” who once delivered an 84-minute speech bleeding from the chest after being shot in a failed assassination attempt. THEODORE ROOSEVELT explores the breadth and depth of one of history’s most interesting men—a cowboy, soldier, statesman, conservationist, adventurer, reformer and author who suffered profound personal loss and became at age 42 the youngest president of the United States, having a monumental impact that is still felt today. From coming to understand Roosevelt’s privileged yet sickly childhood, viewers will see how his early motivation and perseverance to “make” his body set him up for a lifelong pursuit of fighting injustice.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Tiger, Tiger [text (large print)] : his life, as it's never been told before / by Patterson, James,1947-author.;
"The impossible life of Tiger Woods-how did he become the G.O.A.T., what drove him to fall so spectacularly, and how has he made his way back to the pinnacle of golf? In Patterson's hands, Tiger's story is a hole-in-one thriller. Tiger Woods is unrivaled as an athlete. He made the ultimate commitment to his chosen sport -- and transformed it. Before the age of twenty-five, he rose to phenomenon status: twice named "Sportsman of the Year" by Sports Illustrated; won more than thirty professional tournaments; and became the youngest player to win pro golf's four Grand Slam tournaments. How did Woods do it? Patterson taps into the transformative moments of Woods's life, revealing in vivid, dramatic scenes what Woods saw and felt on the course and in his inner life -- from his only "perfect" shot (a 3-wood on No. 14 at St. Andrews) to his missed first putt at the 1995 Masters through his recent comeback tours"--

The peppermint mocha murder / by London, Colette.;
It's beginning to look like a merry Christmas for Hayden Mundy Moore. On vacation from providing her sought-after expertise in all things chocolate, Hayden heads to snowy New England with her friend and financial advisor, Travis, for the opening of his pal's highly-touted holiday musical. But when the show's producer is murdered, Hayden trades sampling Chocolate Santas for finding the killer--especially since this time, Travis is the one asking for her help... Soon Hayden discovers there's more to Travis's chic hometown than mulled wine and cocoa cookies. But that's just the beginning. Almost no one, including Travis, is quite what they seem. Did the show's lead have more savage motives than stardom? Could the dead producer's husband have felt a murderous envy for his successful wife? Getting behind the mistletoe and jingle bells will take all of Hayden's savvy--along with some super caffeinated Peppermint Mochas--if she hopes to catch a killer with a heart more bitter than the darkest truffle...

Jihye is an ordinary woman who has never been extraordinary. In her administrative job at the Academy, she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe, she effectively becomes a master of the silent eye-roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to endure her superiors and the semi-hostile work environment they create are upended when a new intern, Gyuok Lee, arrives. Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta, Gyuok recruits a trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together, these four "rebels" commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti, throwing eggs, and writing anonymous exposés. But as their attacks increase, the initial joy they felt at the release becomes something more and Jihye and the others will discover the beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity.
