Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple…
Anna has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning (too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn’t want all that? Anna – it turns out.
Turning a minor mid-life crisis into a major life event she bins the lot, heads back to Ireland, and gets a PR job for a super-high-end coastal retreat. Newsflash: the locals hate it. So much so, there have been threats – and violence.
Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There’s no ugliness she hasn’t seen. No wrinkle she can’t smooth over.
Until she discovers that leaving New York doesn’t mean escaping her mistakes.
Once upon a time she'd had a best friend. Once upon a time she'd loved a man. Now she has neither. And now she has to face them.
We all make mistakes. But when do we stop making the same one over and over again?
Fingers crossed that Marian has a new novel out soon but until then why not laugh your socks off with this hilarious collection of tales, observations and flights of fancy from the funniest woman in print.
Welcome to the magnificent Making It Up As I Go Along - aka the World According to Marian Keyes(TM) - A bold and brilliant collection of Marian's hilarious and often heartfelt observations on modern life, love and everything in between. From a guide to breaking up with your hairdresser to entering the fifties-zone, the joys of her nail varnish museum to singing her way through insomnia, Marian will have you laughing with delight and gasping with recognition throughout - because at the end of the day, each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along.
Do you feel demotivated and aimless?
Are you running on empty?
Is it hard to pinpoint what's wrong?
Millions of us are struggling with this emotional state of weariness,
and until now, we've lacked the vocabulary to understand it. But Dr
Corey Keyes has identified this feeling as languishing, and here he
draws on the latest research and real-life case studies to trace its
spread to a level of global epidemic, asking the fundamental question
of how we find lasting wellbeing.
Breaking down the science of emotional exhaustion, Keyes shows that our
very obsession with happiness complicates the process of finding it.
Only by shifting our focus from feeling good to functioning well can we
unlock the key to flourishing. He reveals the choices and mental habits
that inadvertently worsen the problem, and shares simple but powerful
steps anyone can take to restore meaning, joy, and calm to their lives.
Languishing is a must-read for anyone tempted to downplay the
demotivation and emptiness they've been feeling, to help build a buffer
against the pressures of modern life and find true flourishing.
Chris Brinker directs this thriller based on real events starring
Willem Dafoe, Amy Smart and Matt Dillon. Determined to bring down a
powerful southern gang, detective Bud Carter (Dafoe) concentrates
all his powers of persuasion on Jesse Weiland (Dillon), a member of
the syndicate in custody for his misdeeds. Facing a lifetime in
prison, Weiland agrees to become an informant for Carter, whose
ultimate goal is to take down crime boss Lutin Adams (Tom
Berenger). However, when the resourceful Adams learns of the plan,
events escalate rapidly and the situation threatens to turn
extremely nasty...
Losing the love of your life once is tragic. TWICE looks like
carelessness . . .
Rachel Walsh is a survivor: she survived rehab and the loss of her
greatest love.

good boyfriend. Then Luke - her ex of six years - shows up.
Suddenly she's fragile and falling.
They ended badly and neither can speak of the secret hurt which drove
them apart.
But is it fear of what happened? Or what might happen next?

A taut high fantasy as an assassin must destroy an empire from
within, eliminating wizards, their demons, and even the emperor.
For the lives-for the very souls-of her people, she must succeed
within a single day, or her homeland will be destroyed. ALONE
AGAINST AN EMPIRE. When Yash of Zeltah arrives in the fortress city
of Honaq she is greeted as a barbarian, a simple pawn. Her marriage
to prince Chej has been arranged, they say, to avert war. Yet she
knows the truth, for the armies already ravage the land. A skilled
and deadly assassin, there is more to Yash than any might suspect.
Before another day can pass, she must defeat the masters of the
nine towers-the plagues, magics, and monsters they control, the
soldiers they command. Without raising an alarm, she must kill all
who oppose her-even the immortal emperor. The lives and souls of
Zeltah, the people and the land upon which they live, all depend on
it.
