BOSSYPANTS BY TINA FEY

From her youthful days as a vicious nerd, to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live, from her passionately half-hearted pursuit of physical beauty, to her life as a mother eating things off the floor, from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon, from the beginning of this paragraph to the final sentence.


Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we all suspected:  you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

YOGA from the INSIDE OUT by CHRISTINA SELL

How do you make peace with your body through yoga?  What does, "making peace with the body" really mean?  How do you integrate your physical practice with inner body awareness and a deep connection to the heart?


This book elevates the philosophy of hatha yoga to a spiritual art of self-love and acceptance that can transform your self-image.  Yoga is so much more than postures and breathing.  It is a deeply personal journey back home to ourselves and it takes us from self-doubt and judgement to self-acceptance and joy.


It helps us to discover our true nature and to make that our intention.

A LAND MORE KIND THAN HOME BY WILEY CASH

Told by three resonant and evocative characters, Jess, Adelaide Lyle, the town midwife and moral conscience and Clem Barefield, a sheriff with his own painful past, the book is a haunting tale of courage in the face of cruelty and the power to love to overcome the darkness that lives in us all. 


Adventurous, Jess is enormously protective of his older brother, Christopher, a mute, whom everyone calls Stump.  Though their mother has told them not to snoop, Stump can't help sneaking a peek at something he's not supposed to.  This is an act that will have catastrophic consequences shattering both his world and Jess's.  It's a wrenching event that thrusts Jess into a world that he is not prepared for.  


Excellent story!!!!
