Grace & Style
by Grace HelbigIt's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without 'con'. My goal in this book isn't to tell anyone how they should dress or how they should do their hair or makeup or even what poop bags to purchase. Trust me, I'm not stylish. I'm self-aware. I'm not polished, I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy, I'm trying. I LOVE fashion and style as much as the next lady, man or French bulldog, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me. I know I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead, this is a look at own silly and yet practical approach to style - don't worry, I've already been restricted to no more than two chapters on sweatpants. This book is one part parody, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience. Imagine if Lauren Conrad's book Lauren Conrad Style loosened its modest, but pricey (because it's an investment piece!!) Banana Republic belt a few notches... It'd still probably think this guide is completely dumb, but hey, this book is about pretending you've got style & grace and making no apologies for having fun.
Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It
by Grace HelbigFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace's Guide and the host of The Grace Helbig Show on E! comes a beautifully illustrated, tongue-in-cheek book about style that lampoons fashion and beauty guides while offering practical advice in Grace Helbig's trademark sweet and irreverent voice.It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without "con." I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only some of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what's actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS...that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide "Should I actually buy this?" -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I'm not stylish--I'm self-aware. I'm not polished--I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy--but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, "style" is just a simple way of saying "I showered."
Grace Under Pressure

Grace Harkness looks like she has it all – two beautiful children, four cookbooks under her belt and an idyllic beachside home #blessed.

When the madness of modern-day motherhood finally pushes her to the brink, Grace and her friends decide to ditch the men in their lives, move in together and create a &‘mummune&’ – sharing the load of chores, school pick-ups/drop-offs and endless Life Admin. The new set-up seems like a dream, but is life in this utopian village all it&’s cracked up to be?Praise for Grace Under Pressure &‘Tori Haschka has done a superb job of capturing the struggles, the fears and the loneliness of motherhood, but also the camaraderie, strength and vital importance of female friendship.

A debut novel that will resonate with parents and foodies alike.' – Fiona Higgins, author of An Unusual Boy &‘Witty, wise and with so much insight about modern motherhood … a pleasure to read.&’ – Cassie Hamer, author of The End of Cuthbert Close

Now, with the help of the zany star—or in spite of it—he intends to find the real killer . . .“Mr. Van Dine’s amateur detective is the most gentlemanly, and probably the most scholarly snooper in literature.” —Chicago Daily Tribune“The best of the American mystery men.” —The Globe
A Gracinha Longa
by Dan Alatorre João Batista Esteves AlvesA Gracinha Longa acompanha a nossa menina favorita, "Savvy," que continua a explorar seu mundo de um jeito possível apenas para quem tem três anos de idade, conforme observado pelos olhos de seu pai. Mas veja só: ele alterna entre capítulos sobre Savvy e capítulos que contam histórias reais de outras pessoas portadoras da Síndrome do QT longo, uma condição cardíaca potencialmente fatal. Trata-se de um capítulo sobre Savvy, em seguida um capítulo sobre pessoa diferente que também tem QT longo, alternando-se ao longo de todo o livro. Entre os capítulos há vinhetas fascinantes de um amigo norueguês que conta histórias sobre sua família e sua história de SQTL. Todas as histórias do livro são sobre como cada família descobriu que tinha QT longo, como lida com isto, etc. Alguns se consideram como tendo "necessidades especiais". Outros não. Alguns descobriram que tinham QT longo ao desmaiar e destruir seus carros! Outros, por engano, passaram anos com diagnóstico de epilepsia. Algumas das histórias se parecem com aquelas minisséries médicas de televisão, outras parecem comédias. Mas todas elas são autênticas. Pense nisso como literatura pulp, só que sem todos aqueles tiros, sem sangue, e sem os gângsteres. E nem xingamentos. E... Está bem, não pense nisso como literatura pulp. Espere, pense como literatura pulp, mas apenas na forma como as histórias são histórias separadas e contadas em pedaços que podem ou não se sobrepor. Sabe de uma coisa, você simplesmente tem que ler. Mas acho que você vai realmente gostar!
Gracious: A Practical Primer on Charm, Tact, and Unsinkable Strength
by Kelly Williams BrownSo you’re adulting. Now what? New York Times bestselling author of Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps Kelly Williams Brown is here to tell you what, with her funny, charming guide to modern civility in these—yes, we'll say it—rather uncivil times.Graciousness is practicing the arts of kindness, thoughtfulness, good manners, humanity, and, well, basic decency. It’s not about memorizing every rule of traditional etiquette (though there is something to be said about a lovely hand-written invitation) or being the perfect hostess. It’s about approaching the world with compassion, conviction, and self-confidence—and it makes all the difference, whether you're at a Fancy Schmancy Intimidating Work Occasion or at the convenience store. Gracious provides tips to help you deal with the people and circumstances that challenge all of us (pushy relatives, internet trolls), and thoughtful discussions on being the highest version of yourself. Graciousness, at its heart, is the ability to be truly present to the humans around you, to face the world with a generous heart and a core of strength that’s never corroded. Even when you get rude comments from Internet strangers (hot tip: you don’t give a lot of credibility to someone screaming obscenities at you on the street, so why do it online?)We can’t control the world, or other humans, or even how we feel in a given moment. The only thing we can control is our words and actions, and when we act deliberately and with kindness, it makes everything better.

The Grammarians: A Novel
by Cathleen Schine<p>An enchanting, comic love letter to sibling rivalry and the English language. <p>From the author compared to Nora Ephron and Nancy Mitford, not to mention Jane Austen, comes a new novel celebrating the beauty, mischief, and occasional treachery of language. <p>The Grammarians are Laurel and Daphne Wolfe, identical, inseparable redheaded twins who share an obsession with words. They speak a secret twin tongue of their own as toddlers; as adults making their way in 1980s Manhattan, their verbal infatuation continues, but this love, which has always bound them together, begins instead to push them apart. Daphne, copy editor and grammar columnist, devotes herself to preserving the dignity and elegance of Standard English. Laurel, who gives up teaching kindergarten to write poetry, is drawn, instead, to the polymorphous, chameleon nature of the written and spoken word. Their fraying twinship finally shreds completely when the sisters go to war, absurdly but passionately, over custody of their most prized family heirloom: Merriam Webster s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. <p>Cathleen Schine has written a playful and joyful celebration of the interplay of language and life. A dazzling comedy of sisterly and linguistic manners, a revelation of the delights and stresses of intimacy, The Grammarians is the work of one of our great comic novelists at her very best.</p>
