A Deadly Episode by Anthony Horowitz
Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne is dead. Or, rather, the actor playing him in the film adaptation of The World is Murder is. Rising star David Caine has been stabbed, and it seems that everyone on the set had a motive. Caine had just fired his PA. He had fallen out with his director, slept with the screenwriter, humiliated his co-star and dropped his agent days before he was about to sign a multi-million-dollar deal to appear in the next Spider-Man movie. But what if Caine’s murderer had made a mistake? What if it was the real Hawthorne who was the intended victim? For it turns out that the brilliant detective may have got it wrong ten years earlier. An innocent man has died in jail. And perhaps someone has decided that Hawthorne must pay the price.
We Burned So Bright by TJ Klune
Husbands Don and Rodney have lived a good long life. Together they’ve experienced the highest highs of love and family, and lows so low that they felt like the end of the world. Now, the world is ending for real. A rogue black hole is coming for Earth and in a month everything and everyone they’ve ever known will be gone. Suddenly, after 40 years together, Don and Rodney are out of time. They’re in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State to take care of some unfinished business before it’s all over. On the road they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it. But there are also people living their final days as best they know how — impromptu weddings, bright burning bonfires, shared meals, and new friends. And as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough. Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes?
Living Well with Adult ADHD by Laura Knouse
Imagine a toolkit filled with tried-and-true skills that empower adults with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to be more focused and productive–and to “hack” daily life so their strengths can shine. That’s exactly what expert ADHD therapist Laura E. Knouse and preeminent authority Russell A. Barkley offer readers in this friendly guide. Twenty-seven short, engaging chapters present a menu of science-based strategies and resources for getting organized, completing tasks from start to finish, managing time, regulating emotions and impulses, and addressing common relationship problems associated with ADHD. Featuring checklists, self-coaching tips, helpful links, and downloadable forms, this quick-reference guide is an ideal companion to Dr. Barkley’s bestselling Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, Second Edition , which takes a deeper dive into the disorder and its treatment. — Keywords: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, self-help, psychology, consumers guide, executive functioning, thriving, overcoming, managing, skills, toolkits, practical advice, self-acceptance, how to cope, self-coaching, experts, checklists, worksheets, resources
