How to Be Fine Jolenta Greenberg
epub | 783.85 KB | English | Jolenta Greenberg | HarperCollins


Description: A humorous and insightful look into what advice works, what doesn't, and what it means to transform yourself, by the co-hosts of the popular By the Book podcast.
In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they've learned with their devoted and growing audience of fans who tune in.
Before they began their podcast, Jolenta wanted to believe the promises of self-help books, while Kristen was very much the skeptic. They embraced their differences of opinion, hoping they'd be good for laughs and downloads. But in the years since launching the By the Book, they've come to realize their show is about much more than humor. In fact, reading and following each book's advice...

Broken Glass by Alex Beam
epub | 8.99 MB | English | Alex Beam | 2020 | Random House Publishing Group


Description: The true story of the intimate relationship that gave birth to the Farnsworth House, a masterpiece of twentieth-century architecture-and disintegrated into a bitter feud over love, money, gender, and the very nature of art.
"An amazing story, brilliantly told."-Sebastian Smee, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic and author of The Art of Rivalry
In 1945, Edith Farnsworth asked the German architect Mies van der Rohe, already renowned for his avant-garde buildings, to design a weekend home for her outside of Chicago. Edith was a woman ahead of her time-unmarried, she was a distinguished medical researcher, as well as an accomplished violinist, translator, and poet. The two quickly began spending weekends together, talking philosophy, Catholic mysticism, and, of course, architecture over wine-soaked picnic lunches. Their personal and professional collaboration would produce the Farnsworth House, one of the most important works of...

Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Men The Complete Strength and Conditioning Plan
epub | 12.71 MB | English | Roger Hall | 2013 | Hatherleigh Press


Description: The complete guide to body sculpting with kettlebells.

Unlike traditional dumbbells, the true power of the kettlebell lies in its unique shape. Because the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand, more muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell as opposed to the lifting of dumbbells, thus producing a much more effective workout. For this reason, the kettlebell has attracted attention from fitness professionals and is being increasingly adapted for the general public.

For the first time ever, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Men gives readers a comprehensive guide to using this unique fitness tool, complete with workouts for people of all fitness levels. Simple to learn, easy to use and with a ton of benefits, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Men provides the perfect core or supplement to your existing workout routine.

Review
Strand flips his readers from the ghoulish to the hilarious, reminding us not to take anything too seriously. I strongly recommend this story to adults with a sense of humor and people who delight in extremes. --Inscriptions Magazine
I giggled, snorted, and guffawed my way through Jeff Strand's incredibly funny, incredibly dark, incredibly mysterious debut novel. Should be on every mystery lover's list of favorites, especially if the odd and unusual tickles the imagination. --Crescent Blues
Readers of Jeff Strand's latest thriller can be forgiven if they feel like they've found a new gem by Elmore Leonard. Strand has created the same off-the-wall humor and wildly challenged characters that keep Leonard's books on the top of the heap. But Strand is building a literary reputation of his own with his sharp, witty e-books. --BookPage

Product Description
When you're desperate for money, searching for a little adventure, and aren't the most responsible person in the world, you can end up doing some outrageous things. Which is how Andrew Mayhem, an extremely married father of two, ends up accepting $20,000 to find a key ... a key buried with a body in a shallow grave. When the body turns out to not only be still alive, but armed and dangerous, he realizes that he should have held out for more money. His simple evening of morally questionable manual labor becomes a bizarre game of wits and courage played with an unseen killer with a twisted sense of humor. It's a game that will bring him to a group of filmmakers known as Ghoulish Delights, who are hiding a secret that will test every last bit of Andrew's nerve to discover. And it's impossible to find a babysitter.

"Sometimes you wake up in the morning and you just know it's going to be the kind of day where you end up tied to a chair in a filthy garage while a pair of tooth-deprived lunatics torment you with a chainsaw. So as I struggled against the ropes, I can't say I was all that surprised." Even more twisted than its predecessor, Single White Psychopath Seeks Same is another outrageous blend of the hilarious and the horrifying, one that will keep you laughing, gasping, and guessing from beginning to end.
