I’ve always felt safer in the night. When a handsome stranger appears at my local pub on the eve of Yule, something in me recognizes him. Intense and guarded, Niklaus Night watches the room with stoic presence, but the banter flows easily, and his quiet smolder draws me in. The connection is wild and intoxicating, enough to have me considering taking a chance and being a little reckless, for once. Until a fight breaks out and he leaves me on the middle of the dancefloor without so much as a word of explanation.

Dear Santa: For Christmas, I want my boyfriend to come home from his mission safely. Of course, that’s what I told everyone when they asked. But deep down, I was struggling with the knowledge that I would probably never get what I truly wanted—what I craved to experience more than anything. That was until the annual Marine Corps toy donation, where I sat in Santa’s lap and made my wish. The love of my life surprised me with his presence, and even more so with his promises. I just didn’t think it would take sharing me with his best friend to achieve it.

In a series of reflections, humorous stories, and research on Western culture’s obsession with the “self,” C. B. Lund shares that the answer lies not in self-realization, but in self-forgetfulness. I’m Not Great points to the life-giving truth that we were never intended to be the main character of our own stories. Rather than playing the David that defeats the Goliath or the suave super-hero that swoops in to save the day, we would do our present anxieties and crushing expectations for ourselves and others a huge service if we realized we were more like Shrub #2 on stage left.

Alone on the sweeping prairie, Katie must confront more than harsh weather and isolation. Powerful cattle barons view sheep as a threat to their grazing lands, and they are willing to intimidate anyone—especially a woman—to protect their interests.

Da will man in seinem Buchclub ein wenig Spiritualität ausprobieren und schon hat man aus Versehen den alten Gott Zalas heraufbeschworen. Und Zalas hat natürlich nur eins im Sinn: möglichst viele Gläubige um sich scharen.

A brat. And she’s a flirt, determined to make the week as awkward as possible for Evan.

The year was 1933, and the Great Depression had taken hold, but a young and adventurous writer, Ruthven Colquhoun McNairn, embarked on an incredible four month adventure from Hamilton Ontario to Chicago, Denver, and Colorado Springs exploring the cities and surrounding landscape, and then heading West, hitchhiking to Los Angeles through New Mexico, Arizona and California, capturing the unique people he met and traveled with and the strange new country he was exploring beautifully in his diary, which reads like a John Steinbeck novel.
