Never Stop Running is a modern visionary novel by Dr. Melissa Caudle, blending a suspenseful thriller with the search for truth about past lives and reincarnation. Inspired by works like This Body: A Novel of Reincarnation by Laurel Doud, Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, and Past Lives, Many Masters by Brian L. Weiss, this novel is as profound as it is awe-inspiring.

This page-turning thriller, which begs to be read in a single sitting, unfolds through mental time travel spanning centuries and numerous past lives via regression hypnotherapy. It is based on the true story of one woman's struggle to recover her memories after a devastating accident left her with retrograde amnesia.

Meet David and Jackie Hennessey, who had the perfect life until an accident left Jackie with no memory. As they struggle to find balance, David discovers Dr. Grayson, a well-known regression hypnotherapist, and convinces Jackie to seek his services to retrieve her subconscious memories. During her sessions, her past lives surface, revealing a web of mental time travel that crisscrosses centuries.

Faced with the moral dilemma of believing her dreams were once reality and challenging her religious convictions on reincarnation, Jackie questions her sanity and fears for her life after seeing her deaths in previous lives. She believes she can never stop running as her marriage degrades and falls apart.

This novel is a tale of destiny and soul mates, not to be missed. You don't have to believe in reincarnation to enjoy this tale, but it will certainly make you ponder the possibility.

Down and Rising is an immersive reading experience. An imaginative multi-story arc intricately woven together by striking imagery, reference materials and finely crafted characters.

Book One: Sporadic Memories is a novel about a lifestyle that needs to be read about. Within the first few pages, you will realize there has been a loss. It is not sad, though; the narrator expresses with great enthusiasm the life they lived, which makes it nice during the times when it becomes difficult to read.

By the first few pages, I hope you can hear the narrator has been alive for a long time, explaining the way it is written. There is no distinction between the characters’ genders, which offers a personal experience for the reader. The part that remembers the time they gave bracelets to each other brings about another way of joining together in marriage … following how their courtship developed, and the apple tree that is depicted throughout the novel using its fruit in traditional family recipes.

It gets sad for a bit after this, but notice that it gets sad because there is so much more to why the one lost is worth writing about. It is partly a love story. You know for sure it is when you get to the parts about the piano played and songs written … you should at first read to the first song. The memory at the exhibition and recalling times in the rain and snow are next.

They traveled a lot together and you will read of a place if you read a little past the description of the surroundings of their home. If you read to the first birthday mentioned; you will find a recipe worth trying, a poem worth reading, and fireworks. The narrator is a playwright, so there is a play that is broken down throughout the novel … it is a difficult read, but it is important in showing how the two brought their work together, and what positive influences they made upon those they met.

Things are repeated to show how important positive repetition is, which helps to move past pain while remembering the passion. This novel is full of passion, carried throughout the life they had for each other, their work, and their friends … you might want to read through first until you hear about their friends. This novel completes the story as the pages turn; putting certain pages together will bring the memories in order. It is an easy read. It is written poetically, which gives it justice. It begins the way it ends …

Book Two: Because of Grandfather is a continuation of the lifestyle that was first introduced in Book One: Sporadic Memories. From the grandson’s perspective, he reflects on the lifestyle he was raised in, expressing gratitude to his grandfather for raising such an incredible man – his father.

With no one but each other for company, Zorie and Lennon have no choice but to hash out their issues via witty jabs and insults as they try to make their way to safety.

Smart, humorous, and strikingly original thoughts on race, beauty, money, and more—by one of today's most intrepid public intellectuals.

Tressie McMillan Cottom, the writer, professor, and acclaimed author of Lower Ed, now brilliantly shifts gears from running regression analyses on college data to unleashing another identity: a purveyor of wit, wisdom—and of course Black Twitter snark—about all that is right and much that is so very wrong about this thing we call society. In the bestselling tradition of bell hooks and Roxane Gay, McMillan Cottom’s freshman collection illuminates a particular trait of her tribe: being thick. In form, and in substance.

This bold compendium, likely to find its place on shelves alongside Lindy West, Rebecca Solnit, and Maggie Nelson, dissects everything from beauty to Obama to pumpkin spice lattes. Yet Thick will also fill a void on those very shelves: a modern black American female voice waxing poetic on self and society, serving up a healthy portion of clever prose and southern aphorisms in a style uniquely her own.

McMillan Cottom has crafted a black woman’s cultural bible, as she mines for meaning in places many of us miss and reveals precisely how—when you’re in the thick of it—the political, the social, and the personal are almost always one and the same.

Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed.

How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

A miner is suddenly in danger following a pointless (to Murderbot’s way of thinking) argument, and the choice is to risk discovery and leap into action, which would require hitting the pause button during a very exciting part of SanctuaryMoon, or to follow orders and stay still.

Fire & Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Written by internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin, this book brings with it all the fire and fury fans have come to expect.

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys’s three dragon eggs? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel.

Featuring more than eighty black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley, readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.

Hunter Wild just wants to get through her last year at the secret Helios-Ra Academy. To do so, she'll have to betray her grandfather, date a vampire, and possibly take down the entire League - all before the end of term.

As a senior at the secretive Helios-Ra Academy, eighteen-year-old vampire hunter Hunter Wild just wants to make it through her last year of school, but in order to do so she might have to betray her grandfather and date a vampire.

The thrilling third novel in this YA series features vampires with bite and girls who bite back. Hunter Wild attends the secret Helios-Ra Academy, following in her family’s tradition of training as vampire hunters. So when she receives a special invitation to attend the coronation of vampire queen Helena Drake, she’s surprised to think of vampires as something other than evil prey. Some of them, like Helena’s son Quinn, are actually drop-dead gorgeous. And when her fellow students are struck by a mysterious illness, Hunter suspects they are under attack not from the nightwalkers, but from within the academy. To save her schoolmates, she will have to turn to an unlikely ally whose family rules the realm of the undead: Quinn Drake. Can Hunter trust her born enemy to have her back without trying to seduce her?

Full of action, romance, and intrigue, the latest chapter in the Drake Chronicles is a must-read for vampire fiction lovers looking for an all-around kick-ass good time.

Existentialism Is a Humanism was written to correct common misconceptions about Jean-Paul Sartre's thought. Sartre, the most dominant European intellectual of the post-World War II decades, accepted an invitation to speak on October 29, 1945, at the Club Maintenant in Paris. The unstated objective of his lecture was to expound his philosophy as a form of existentialism, a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience.

The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity. The idea of freedom occupies the center of Sartre’s doctrine. Man, born into an empty, godless universe, is nothing to begin with. He creates his essence—his self, his being—through the choices he freely makes (“existence precedes essence”). Were it not for the contingency of his death, he would never end. Choosing to be this or that is to affirm the value of what we choose. In choosing, therefore, we commit not only ourselves but all of mankind.

This book presents a new English translation of Sartre’s 1945 lecture and his analysis of Camus’s The Stranger, along with a discussion of these works by acclaimed Sartre biographer Annie Cohen-Solal. This edition is a translation of the 1996 French edition, which includes Arlette Elkaïm-Sartre’s introduction and a Q&A with Sartre about his lecture.
