This dreamlike dystopian novel “shines a dark spotlight on the modern allure of pharmaceuticals’ seeming power to assuage all ills” (Booklist). Set in the very near future, this is the story of a traveling salesman floating from arid Arizona parking lots to steamy Bangkok bars and beyond to peddle the hottest new commodity for a group known only as The Company. What he has is a drug that erases memory. You can choose your oblivion, be it one mistake or a lifetime of pain. But things become hazy when our hero begins sampling the goods and reaches the point where he can’t even remember what it is he cannot remember. A pitch-perfect piece for our times filled with hypnotic prose, Tokyo Doesn’t Love Us Anymore is both a riveting story and a thoughtful exploration of the drug culture that surrounds us, the nature of forgetfulness, and the implacable tyranny of emotions—questioning what it means to be human when everything, including human identity, can be bought. “Part crime novel, part political allegory, part love story . . . Compelling.” —The New York Times Book Review

Autumn Wind Dancing Daystar''s roots run deep in the soil of an Indigenous reservation in Alberta, Canada. Growing up as a third-generation survivor of residential schools, her upbringing was a tapestry woven with stories of resilience and strength. With a hereditary chief for a grandfather and a father who served in WWII, she was raised with the spirit of a warrior and the wisdom of generations past. From a young age, her parents instilled in her a love for writing, a passion that lay dormant until later in life when she realized it was her true calling. She poured herself into crafting this book with every fiber of her being, driven by a desire to share her truth with the world. While her academic achievements—a BA in Political Science from the University of Lethbridge and a Master''s Degree in Leadership & Administration from Gonzaga University—have undoubtedly shaped her perspective, the ancestral wisdom passed down through generations forms the heartbeat of her message. Autumn Wind Dancing''s educational journey was marked by challenges and triumphs. Despite the absence of a high school on the reservation during her time, she pursued her studies, facing the "culture shock" of transitioning to city life for high school. Although she initially left high school in grade 12, the support and belief of a Mormon guidance counselor led her back to finish and pursue a university education. Around a decade ago, Autumn found solace and truth in the teachings of The Book of Mormon upon joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Its profound message resonated with her, reflecting the essence of humanity across time. As she embraced her new faith, she found a sense of belonging and purpose. Her name, Autumn Wind Dancing, carries the echoes of her Plains Cree heritage, bestowed upon her by elders with deep significance. In a symbolic act of reclaiming identity, she legally adopted her traditional Cree name under Article 17 of the Truth & Reconciliation Call To Action, honoring her roots and journey towards reconciliation. writing, a passion that lay dormant until later in life when she realized it was her true calling.

So Micaro gave me this book and told me to write in it. He said I could do anything I wanted, so I decided to write down everything that’s happening to me to keep my head clear. After all, a lot has happened and I already can’t remember most of my life. My name is Avian. Well, it is now... I don’t remember my old name. I don’t know who I was or where I was from. All I know about my past is that I had a smart brother that I had gotten in a fight with and that my family must have been very wealthy. But I’m part of Micaro’s Circus now, and I’m going to be going on display as an angel of death. I have wings. Large black crow wings. I can’t remember how or why I got them. Ricaru was assigned by Micaro to be my mentor because he’s a kite flyer and knows the most about flight out of everyone else in the circus. Ricaru is going to teach me how to fly, and honestly, I’m a bit excited! Although I know I have a family somewhere that’s probably really worried about me, I can’t remember them at all, and there’s no way I can get back to them... I’m starting a new life now, and tomorrow I’ll start living it. And I’ll start...by learning if these wings can let me fly! 642 642

No matter how much we accomplish in a day, we nearly always feel a little guilt over what we didn't do. Taming Your To-Do List exposes a seismic shift in society: from one in which most of us were proactive to one in which we carry the burden of having to respond--to every email, text, tweet, and message we receive. This creates a cycle where everyone else sets the priorities for our days rather than us directing our own lives. The result? We procrastinate, putting off the important stuff for later while we tend to the "urgent" stuff right now. It's time to take back your schedule! Ready to tame your to-do list? This book shows you how.

But their world is soon turned upside down when a mysterious acquaintance sends them a strange and alluring gift. It's called the red bag. Once the cherished property of a long-dead film director, it has gained a reputation as a mysterious and valuable collector's item. Now in possession of this strange, yet fascinating prize, Phil attempts to track down the man who sent it to him. But his search is quickly halted when he learns that the man is dead, having been murdered just days after sending Phil the package.
