- Trajectory / by Russo, Richard,1949-author.;
"In this pair of novellas and two stories, Russo's characters bear little similarity to the blue-collar citizens we're familiar with from most of his novels. In "Horseman," a tenured professor confronts a young plagiarist as well as her own weaknesses as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches--"And after that, who knew?" In "Intervention," a realtor facing an ominous medical prognosis finds himself in his father's shadow while he presses forward, or not. In "Voice," a semi-retired English professor is conned by his increasingly estranged brother into coming along on a group tour of the Biennale, fleeing a mortifying incident with a traumatized student back in Massachusetts but encountering further complications en route. And in "Milton and Marcus," a lapsed novelist is struggling with his wife's illness and trying to rekindle his screenwriting career, only to be stymied by the pratfalls of that trade when he's called to an aging, iconic star's mountaintop in Wyoming"--- Subjects: Short stories.;

- Dying inside [graphic novel] / by Wentz, Pete,1979-author.; Klein, Hannah,author.; Sterle, Lisa,illustrator.;
"Today is Ash's big finale. And by finale, of course, she means exiting the stage permanently. Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott Smith combined (her two idols). She's apathetic and therefore believes death is the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans--which include the perfect outfit, soundtrack, and method--are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell. Now, Ash has to track down the witch who turned her clocking out attempt into the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the charm together and fight for Ash's death ... even as things get increasingly entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom's gross boyfriend, Greg."--- Subjects: Witch comics.; Paranormal comics.; Graphic novels.; Teenage girls; Witches; Charms; Immortalism;

- 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."--- Subjects: Confidence.; Criticism, Personal.; Self-acceptance.; Self-talk.;

- Another fine mess : across Trumpland in a Ford Model T / by Moore, Tim,1964-author.;
Tim Moore - indefatigable travelling everyman - switches two wheels for four as he journeys across Trumpland in an original Model T Ford. Lacking any mechanical knowledge or intuition, he sets off to bully a car from East to West armed only with a top speed of 25 mph, a fan belt made of cotton, wooden wheels (again) and a truckload of 'wise-ass Limey liberal gumption'. His route takes him exclusively through Trump-voting counties as he travels the nation meeting the everyday folk who voted red, or rather orange. Along the way he drives through the disintegrating rust belt, Detroit - the spiritual home of the Model T, through the mid-west, cowboy country and finally threading he way through a lonely stretch of Oregon, 'where everyone is either a lumberjack or a prison officer'. And he needs to do it in three months before the wall goes up and he's booted back to Blighty.- Subjects: Travel writing.; Moore, Tim, 1964-; Automobile travel; Ford Model T automobile.;

- Death on the Patagonian express / by Conrad, Hy.;
"Upon the breakout success of the TrippyGirl blog, Amy Abel and her mother, Fanny, are asked to join a group of other prominent travel writers on a scenic train tour of Patagonia. Fanny welcomes the extra publicity, but it takes coaxing from suave tour owner Jorge O'Bannion to win Amy's commitment. Once in Argentina, their South American expedition seems to chug along smoothly--despite Fanny drinking way too much yerba mate tea. But while out snapping photos for TrippyGirl, Fanny makes a dreadful discovery--a body scavenged by condors in the wilderness. Even more unsettling, the corpse mysteriously disappears before the others arrive. Some question Fanny's sanity, but doubt becomes horror when Jorge's angel investor is found dead in a similar position. As a number of "accidents" validate Amy's suspicion of foul play, the Abels must outsmart one very conniving killer... or they'll soon be en route to their final destination--six feet under."--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Women detectives; Travel agents; Murder;

- The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek A Novel [electronic resource] : by Michele Richardson, Kim.aut; cloudLibrary;
In 1936, Bluet is the last of the Kentucky Blues. In the dusty Appalachian hills of Troublesome Creek, nineteen and blue-skinned, Bluet has used up her last chance for “respectability” and a marriage bed. Instead, she joins the historical Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky and becomes a librarian, riding up treacherous mountains on a mule to deliver books and other reading material to the poor hill communities of Eastern Kentucky.  Along her dangerous route, Bluet confronts many who are distrustful of her blue skin. Not everyone is so keen on Bluet’s family or the Library Project, and the impoverished Kentuckians are quick to blame a Blue for any trouble in their small town. Inspired by the true and historical blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek provides an authentic Appalachian voice to a story of hope, heartbreak and raw courage and shows one woman’s strength, despite it all, to push beyond the dark woods of Troublesome Creek.    - Subjects: Electronic books.; Historical;
