All the right notes / by Lim, Dominic,1974-author.;
"Quito Cruz might be a composing and piano genius, but he's a few notes short of success. Broadway, here I don't come. But Quito knows what the problem is. Or rather who. Because ever since that night in college--with pretty-boy jock Emmett Aoki--his inspiration has been completely MIA ... Now Quito's beloved dad wants him to put on a charity performance in his hometown. And there's one hella big string attached: convince Emmett--now one of Hollywood's biggest stars--to perform. It's all shaping up to be the biggest musical fiasco of Quito's life. Especially when that undeniable vibe with Emmett is still there. But there's nothing simple about falling for a closeted movie star ... even when he's pitch-perfect"--

"The Push meets The Silent Patient in a gripping thriller that follows a woman convinced a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens - while the men in her life refuse to believe a word she says. Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she's gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her. Then her doctor tells her she's had a miscarriage - except Anna's convinced she's still pregnant despite everything the grave-faced men around her claim.

Vague warnings become direct threats as someone stalks her through the bleak ghost town of the snowy Hamptons. As her symptoms and sense of danger grow ever more horrifying, Anna can't help but wonder what exactly she's carrying inside of her ... and why no one will listen when she says something is horribly, painfully wrong"--Contains scenes of miscarriage and childbirth, as well as cancer survival and implied animal endangerment.

Better days : tame your inner critic / by Allen, Neal(Spiritual coach),author.; Lamott, Anne,writer of foreword.;
"If you're like most people, you have a voice in your head telling you to work harder, be better, make more friends, and screw up less. It frowns at your mistakes, warns you that your list needs tending, and questions your attractiveness. It's a bully. And you don't actually need it. The path to personal nirvana is routed through your inner critic. Better Days will help you confront and immobilize the superego-that nagging little voice in your head that sneers at your mistakes, questions your worth, and whose snarky commentary keeps you stuck in a childish cycle of reward and punishment. The method is simple, fun, and riveting: First you meet your inner critic. Then you talk to it. Then you speak up whenever it pokes in. Eventually it gets the picture that you don't need it, and it shuts up. Along the way you'll learn a dozen specific techniques anyone can use to move it to the side and reduce anxiety, increase satisfaction, and find your own freedom."--

The murders in Great Diddling : a novel / by Bivald, Katarina,1983-author.; Menzies, Alice,translator.; translation of:Bivald, Katarina,1983-Morden i Great Diddling.English.;
"The best stories are the ones we didn't know needed to be told. The small, rundown village of Great Diddling is full of stories-author Berit Gardner can feel it. The way the villagers avoid outsiders, the furtive stares and whispers in the presence of newcomers ... Berit can sense the edge of a story waiting to be unraveled, and she's just the person to do it. In fact, with a book deadline looming over her and no manuscript (not even the idea for a manuscript, truth be told), Berit doesn't just want this story. She needs it. Then, while attending a village tea party, Berit becomes part of the action herself. An explosion in the library of the village's grand manor kills a local man, and the resulting investigation and influx of outsiders sends the quiet, rundown community into chaos. The residents of Great Diddling, each one more eccentric and interesting than any character Berit could have invented, rewrite their own narrative and transform the death of one of their own from a tragedy into a new beginning. Taking advantage of Great Diddling's new notoriety, the villagers band together to start a book and murder festival designed to bring desperately-needed tourists to their town. What they couldn't have predicted is how the new story they've begun to tell will change all their lives forever. Uplifting, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Murders in Great Diddling by New York Times bestselling author Katarina Bivald is a celebration of the life-changing magic of books and the people who love them"--

The lessons of hatred, prejudice, and misogyny disturb her and she finds herself desperate to escape.
