Now, in The Book of Boundaries, Urban shows how we can all make our lives bigger, richer, and more fulfilling through the magic of boundaries. According to Urban, establishing boundaries--carefully evaluating how other people's behaviour impacts you, then clearly communicating and consistently enforcing limits around what you will and will not tolerate in response to those behaviours--is the key to better mental health, improved self-confidence, and more fulfilling relationships. She explains: - How to identify the signals that a boundary needs to be set - The minimum dose/maximum effect method - How to hold a boundary - What to do if people respond poorly - How to establish consequences if your needs are not respected. A no-holds-barred guide, written with warmth and humour, The Book of Boundaries shows how a few carefully selected words, spoken with kindness and from a place of self-care, are all that stands between you and feelings of calm, ease, confidence, and freedom."--

Accomplice to the villain / by Maehrer, Hannah Nicole,author.;
"Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised 'light paperwork and occasional beheadings,' and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss. Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire-or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again-neither was falling for The Villain"--

Together, as they hunt down clues from Harvard to Paris, Eleanor and Daniel grow closer again, regaining each other's trust. But little do they know that they're entangled in a much larger web. Someone else wants the book, and they'll go to dark lengths to get it.
