Once I Get Started
Despite prevailing assumptions, ADHD is still an underdiagnosed condition. Not only is the diagnostic scale subjective , but the hallmarks of ADHD often remain shrouded behind conditions like anxiety and depression. Most individuals with ADHD live through their formative years with symptoms that so powerfully derail their confidence, future, career, relationships, and sense of self. And many of them are not first diagnosed until adulthood despite their struggles. An esteemed psychologist and retired clinical professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, Dr. Russell Ramsay, has worked with countless patients - some suffering from severe cases of ADHD, others having experienced the common frustrations of undiagnosed ADHD for most of their lives. With the help of his groundbreaking program, his patients have found ways to support their brain, express their emotions, prioritize what matters, release shame, blame, and guilt, and see the world in the creative, bright, brilliant delight this neurodivergence offers. The solution isn't simply getting back to whatever is considered "normal." As Dr. Ramsay presents in this book, there are patient-proven specific solutions to bolstering our executive function and these methods combined with a more comprehensive understanding of the emotional pain-points at the root of ADHD can transform lives. Dr. Ramsay offers a paradigm-shift to help us stop blaming and shaming ourselves for our moment-to-moment inattention and instead focus on the behaviors and routines that form the foundation of our lives. It's for anyone seeking a healthier relationship with their to-do list, more positive inner self-talk, and a new perspective on what is possible when we embrace and support our sometimes-unreliable minds.
You Can't Hurry Second Chances
“An utter delight from start to finish.” –Terah Shelton Harris, author of One Summer in Savannah, for Sisters with a Side of GreensA heartwarming small-town tale of rediscovering joy in unexpected places. Starting over isn’t easy, but sometimes it’s exactly what we need. Newly divorced and determined to prove she can stand on her own, Joyce Hicks moves back to small-town Texas, leaving behind the life she has known for decades for a fresh start in her late father’s home. Unfinished renovations force her to share her kitchen with her tenant, Gabriella Santos, an aspiring chef with dreams of opening a restaurant inspired by her Black and Mexican roots. What begins as an inconvenience blossoms into an unlikely friendship between the two women as they learn to navigate their shared space. Just as her life begins to settle, Joyce’s summer plans upend when her grandson, Elijah, is dropped off for an unexpected seven-week stay, dredging up all kinds of buried things from her past—including visits from her ex-husband, judgment from her daughter, and insecurities that she never quite healed from. Meanwhile, Gabriella’s passion for cooking and her vibrant personality infuse the household with energy, even as she faces her own struggles with self-doubt and heartbreak. Together, Joyce, Gabriella, and Elijah form a patchwork family that supports each other through life’s highs and lows. When an old flame, Richard, reappears in Joyce’s life, she must decide whether to embrace love head-on or to slow down and wait just a little longer for her happy ending. More Praise for Michelle Stimpson"Stimpson delivers raw, complex characters and a delicious storyline that will stay with the reader long after the last page." — New York Times bestselling author Kim Michele Richardson for Sisters with a Side of Greens“Full of heart, generosity, and charm.” — Lucy Gilmore, author of The Lonely Hearts Book Club, for Sisters with a Side of Greens"This is a heartwarming story of misconceptions and learning to love people for who they are, not what you expect them to be." — Booklist for Sisters with a Side of Greens
The Heart of Caring in the Age of Forgetting
Millions of capable adults lose their memory each year, and someone must answer the call to care. When her spirited mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Diane-Allene Hull navigated a maze of confusion, caregiving decisions, and emotional reckoning. The Heart of Caring in the Age of Forgetting is an unflinching memoir that charts one woman's journey through the evolving landscape of dementia—medical assessments, assisted-living facilities, broken systems, and moments of unexpected grace. The author tells a story of fierce devotion, inner strength, and the enduring power of human connection. As a seasoned physician assistant, Hull has cared for complex patients, yet she was shaken when her mother failed to recognize her. Spanning mild cognitive impairment to the final stages of dementia, this deeply personal narrative blends reflection, medical insight, and practical guidance for caregivers. Part memoir, part guide, and part call to action, The Heart of Caring in the Age of Forgetting explores how Alzheimer's disease reshapes identity, family, and the meaning of presence. Along the way, Hull confronts painful truths, discovers her resilience, and poses a vital question: What does it truly mean to care?
The Someday Garden

Battling with the vines – just as much as she is with Lilymoor’s owner’s two inconveniently handsome nephews – Sophie knows that she is the only person who can help Lilymoor bloom again. But when you're stuck between the men on the outside, and the one trapped within, can the seeds of romance bloom into something more…?

A scorching, emotional, suspenseful romance about secrets, second chances and the kind of love that hits harder than whiskey – from the beloved author of the Bourbon Boys series.
In Rumor, Tennessee, the Crowne women are at the centre of every whisper of salacious gossip. Everyone knows you can count on them for a shot of whiskey and a wild night, but their best kept secret is how they deliver quiet revenge . . .
I survived a living nightmare. Forced to stay away from my sisters, I have to hide who I am and start over again. Until a sexy stranger messed everything up – a charming jeweller with a sinful smile and far too many questions.
Now, I’m back in my hometown, hiding my past and trying not to drown in the pressure to be the old me. Especially once I discover that the rumours swirling around my family aren’t the work of bored townies, but hidden truths. And then he turns up again.
Between a dead body, a missing cop and a job that’s connected him to my family, Julian Colton insists on staying in town. I should keep my distance, but the thing is: even with layers of secrets between us, he soothes my anxious thoughts and feeds my touch-starved, broken body.
When his past catches up with him, and mine threatens to repeat itself, it’s rumours and whiskey that’ll save us.
Super Agers
In this breakthrough moment in the history of human health care, Super Agers is an evidenced-based guide to the revolution transforming human longevity. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr Topol explains how you can benefit from new the treatments becoming available at a faster rate than ever, and the fundamental reasons - from semaglutides to AI - that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue.
More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic diseases, with that figure increasing to over half in individuals aged 65 and older. Dr Topol explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers - diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration-and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Super Agers describes.
These remarkable discoveries are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself.
'Imagine a world where diseases once thought incurable are treated, where we are healthier for longer. This future is getting close thanks to a radical convergence of AI and bioscience. In this gripping, vitally important and meticulously researched account, Eric Topol reveals the extraordinary breakthroughs that are transforming medicine-and our lives.'

Make Believe
Make Believe is bestselling children’s author Mac Barnett’s rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. It’s an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis, he champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure.
What if children are a great audience for art?
What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults?
What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood?
Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books.
Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe reads like a letter from your smartest and funniest friend.
Includes spreads from Goodnight Moon and Busy, Busy Town, illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, and cover art by celebrated illustrator Carson Ellis.

How We Come to Be
Our existence as living beings - thinking, feeling, acting - is an extraordinary thing: this book provides a scientifically based account of the entirety of factors that lead to our existence. The text begins with the physical foundations of our existence, examining the cosmological context of the vast expanding and evolving universe, enabling the existence of the Sun and the Earth. It goes on to summarise the underlying physics and chemistry, explaining behaviour on an atomic and molecular level, and considers the nature of biological emergence, arguing that all complex systems are modular hierarchical structures, allowing function to emerge at every level, and both upward and downward interactions occur between emergent levels. The book then goes on to examine fundamental processes such as metabolism, dealing with material and energy needs, and homeostasis, stabilising the system against perturbing influences. At the molecular level, this is all enabled by change of shape of macromolecules, and the text looks at how we come into being by a combination of natural selection and developmental processes, which interact with each other and with physiology. Finally, the book discusses the brain and mind, emphasizing the interaction of rationality and emotions, and examining the nature of mental causation and free will. It then delves into existence on a societal level, showing how social institutions having causal powers, and arguing that society can be understood as a homeostatic feedback system relating welfare to social, economic, political, and legal interactions. All social outcomes are determined crucially by our values, the nature of which can be represented by a spectrum of values ranging from very destructive and selfish to very constructive and generous. The final chapter discusses whether meaning exists in the universe, providing evidence that the answer is yes, arguing for moral realism and the existence of a series of abstract possibility spaces that form the deep structure of the cosmos.
Villa Coco
Broke and directionless, our young protagonist takes a job in the Italian countryside as the assistant to Lisabetta - better known to her friends as Coco - a strong-willed, wealthy aristocrat of great local renown.
Trained as an archivist, he thinks he's been hired to catalogue the contents of the beautiful, crumbling mansion nestled in the green Tuscan hills. But what?are?his actual duties? Days are spent in a series of increasingly eccentric pursuits: entertaining an endless carousel of guests (from bohemian painters to elderly princesses to unnervingly handsome nephews), attending a funeral in order to make off with the urn, and aiding and abetting Coco's great and final plan - to reunite with the lost love of her life before it's too late.
As summer turns into autumn and the Italian countryside begins to work its magic, the secrets of Villa Coco and its inhabitants are slowly brought to light - and with them, an unforgettable story of the enduring power of friendship.
A 'charm novel' for our times, Villa Coco is a sun-drenched paean to youth, to age and to the fulfilment of love - filled with great wisdom and a spirit of unadulterated joy.

Három év menekülés után újra az Ellenállás táborában találom magam, egy székhez kötözve, akár egy szörnyeteg.
Minden, ami elől eddig menekültem, a múltam összes gonosztevője itt van, hogy még egyet rúgjanak belém. Csakhogy ezúttal nem vagyok egyedül.
A horgonyaim kétségbeesetten próbálnak elérni, ráadásul soha nem várt, új barátságokat kötöttem, ezért kezdek hinni abban, hogy talán nem fogok azzá a fegyverré válni, aminek látni akarnak. Talán egy olyan szörnyeteg lesz belőlem, amilyenné én formálom magam.
Megkérdőjeleződnek bennem a kapcsolataim, próba elé állnak a horgonyaim, és már semmi sem az, aminek hittem. Kik a barátaim, és kik vannak ellenem?
Erősebb a kötelék a vérnél?

Új otthonra leltem, és beleszerettem négy elátkozott tündérhercegbe, de egyetlen pillanat alatt mindentől megfoszthatnak. Ha meg akarja menteni az Elvarázsolt Völgyet és a nagyhercegeket, ennek a rózsának töviseket kell növesztenie.
Csodálatos dolog a tündérvilághoz tartozni – eltekintve attól, hogy az elvarázsolt kastély, amiben élek, éppen széthullik, egyik társam végleg le akar mondani a mágiája gyakorlásáról, a másik titkol előlem valamit, és a két elátkozott tündérhercegnek, akikbe szerelmes vagyok, még meg kell találnia hozzá illő társát. Ó, igen, és a gonosz Tövisek hercege újra és újra megpróbál megcsókolni…, én pedig vágyom is erre.
Ahogy a háborúval kapcsolatos suttogó hírek szétterjednek Tavaszországból, veszélyes helyzetben találjuk magunkat, és meg kell próbálnunk elejét venni az árulásnak, amely elszakíthatja egymástól a birodalmakat – és a hercegeimet. A Mélységből támadó elszánt ellenséget semmi sem állítja meg, hogy végezzen velem, és meghódítsa magának Tavaszt. Mindeközben Ezrynnel szembefordul a saját fivére, magának követelve Tavasz trónját. A szövetségesek ellenséggé válnak, az ellenségek szövetséget kötnek egymással.
Most, még inkább, mint máskor, meg kell világítanom az utat a hercegeim előtt, és segítenem kell Ezrynnek, Tavasz nagyhercegének trónja visszaszerzésében. Nem fogom hagyni, hogy belevesszen a sötétségbe… Hacsak rajtam nem uralkodik el hamarabb.
A Vétekben megedzve „A szépség és a szörnyeteg” történet varázslatos tündérbirodalomban játszódó pikáns újramesélése. Gyönyörű könyvmolyunknak nem kell választania a négy szexi tündérherceg közül. A sorozat harmadik részében számos korábbi kérdésre választ kapunk, de újabb, izgalmas részletek is felbukkannak.
A szépség őrzője
1942 őszén Torino felett elsötétül az ég. A szövetséges légierő bombái záporoznak a városra, aki teheti, vidékre menekül. Stella Costát az édesanyja Toscanába küldi a rokonaihoz, akik egy angol házaspár hatalmas, gyönyörű villájában laknak. Mivel nem tartották a kapcsolatot, Stella idegenként csöppen a családba, és rosszul érzi magát, mert a nagynénje feltűnően ridegül bánik vele. Stella megtudja, hogy családja hatalmas felelősséget vállalt: csaknem háromszáz felbecsülhetetlen értékű műkincset rejtegetnek Firenzéből – köztük Botticelli híres Primaveráját.
A villába újabb menekültek érkeznek, köztük egy árva, magánakvaló fiú, Sandro, aki gyönyörűen rajzol. A két fiatal összebarátkozik, és a villa kincsesszobájában találnak menedéket. A csodálatos remekművek vigaszt, inspirációt és erőt jelentenek számukra a háború árnyékában. A német csapatok azonban közelednek…
Laura Morelli regénye igaz történeten alapul: a második világháború idején valóban egy toszkán villában rejtették el az Uffizi Képtár számtalan műkincsét. A szépség őrzője lenyűgöző történet egy sötét korszakból, amikor hétköznapi emberek helytállásán múlt, hogy megmaradjanak az utókornak a nyugati civilizáció legértékesebb műalkotásai.
