A showrunner and her assistant give the world something to talk about when they accidentally fuel a ridiculous rumor in this debut romance. Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn't come at a worse time—threatening Emma's promotion and Jo's new movie. As the gossip spreads, it starts to affect all areas of their lives. Paparazzi are following them outside the office, coworkers are treating them differently, and a “source” is feeding information to the media. But their only comment is “no comment”. With the launch of Jo’s film project fast approaching, the two women begin to spend even more time together, getting along famously. Emma seems to have a sixth sense for knowing what Jo needs. And Jo, known for being aloof and outwardly cold, opens up to Emma in a way neither of them expects. They begin to realize the rumor might not be so off base after all…but is acting on the spark between them worth fanning the gossip flames?

This book is written as an inspirational book for both the young and old, to help them move beyond the line of dryness and emptiness in their life. Today many of us we are caught up in a stage of stagnancy & repetition of experiences in our life simply because of compromising decisions that we have made. Sometimes it is not the decision that we ourselves have made yet, but it is the fear of not wanting to take a chance with God & moving forward because of certain perception that barricades our lives & minds to think positive about God, and about ourselves, and as result we turn to compromise our lives because we believe that we have reached the final stage of our lives, a line of surviving and not succeeding in life. We start valuing trying, more that triumphing, yes, we value and set survival as benchmark of success in our lives and not success itself; we value less more that more or much; we devalue ourselves and started to identify ourselves with the world and not with God who created the world, and promised as a high life in Christ (John 10:10) But the reality is, God didn?t bring us far to live a compromised life, to compromise his promise, since his promises are yes and amen, but he has brought us this far to blossom, to transcend beyond people?s expectations & perceptions, beyond the barricades of life and to live fulfilling lives since he is God of fulfilment & fullness and he fulfils what he has started in us. It is because of compromise that many are settling for less. It is because of compromise that many view death as better that to life; and it is because of compromise that many have set survival as their finish line and a benchmark for their success. This book will help you understand the reason why we compromise, how to handle a compromising position as child of God, how to live a transcending life as God indented and also this book is a revelation for my God given destiny, as an instrument of change in this world.

** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
