Book Description
If you have never been bullied at any time in your life, then Skylar is probably not the book for you. On the other hand, if you or someone you know has experienced bullying, then Skylar is a book you will enjoy, and in all probability, will be able to relate to. As a young boy, Skylar went through a great deal of torture at the hands of other children. Not only did he have the burden of being persecuted by others, but he also had to deal with the fact that he was the youngest son of a legendary high school football coach. In addition to being forced to deal with that reality, he also was a younger brother to the most popular minister in town. Skylar realized that he and he only would need to make the necessary changes in his life to become a different person. So he learned how to fight—sort of. He also learned how to better relate to others as he traveled through life. He became a popular teacher in his adult years. What he didn’t count on was the fact that he would fall deeply in love with a young lady who would unintentionally place his life in jeopardy. She was married to a belligerent man who was possessive of her yet filled with hate toward her and everyone else. What would Skylar do when faced with the option of running away or standing up to the ultimate bully? Would he find the incredible weapon of prayer helpful in this difficult situation?

Book Description
They call me a football god. A legend in the making. After winning back-to-back championships with Baltimore, I shocked the world when I decided to take my talents elsewhere. But not just anywhere. Back to the town I despised growing up. Because that’s where she is. The girl who stole my heart when we were kids. She’s all grown up and more beautiful than ever, living her best life as a popular sports reporter. I hate her for what she did to me. She didn’t just break my heart. She crushed it beneath her sneakered foot and burned it to ashes. She wrecked me. But I’m still not over her. I can have any woman I want with a crook of my finger. I want her. Only her. Call me crazy. Call me obsessed. Both would apply. I blew up my whole world for her. Because I want her back in my life. Back in my bed. And yeah, I want a little revenge . . . .

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “From The New Yorker’s beloved cultural critic comes a bold, unflinching collection of essays about self-deception, examining everything from scammer culture to reality television.”—Esquire Book Club Pick for Now Read This, from PBS NewsHour and The New York Times • “A whip-smart, challenging book.”—Zadie Smith • “Jia Tolentino could be the Joan Didion of our time.”—Vulture FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE’S JOHN LEONARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST BOOK • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND HARVARD CRIMSON AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Time • Chicago Tribune • The Washington Post • NPR • Variety • Esquire • Vox • Elle • Glamour • GQ • Good Housekeeping • The Paris Review • Paste • Town & Country • BookPage • Kirkus Reviews • BookRiot • Shelf Awareness Jia Tolentino is a peerless voice of her generation, tackling the conflicts, contradictions, and sea changes that define us and our time. Now, in this dazzling collection of nine entirely original essays, written with a rare combination of give and sharpness, wit and fearlessness, she delves into the forces that warp our vision, demonstrating an unparalleled stylistic potency and critical dexterity. Trick Mirror is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly through a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the punitive dream of optimization, which insists that everything, including our bodies, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino’s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty, Trick Mirror is an instant classic of the worst decade yet.

Book Description
Exploring the universe at the helm of a flashy ship was supposed to be the dream, but now it’s an ongoing nightmare for Noa. All but exiled from his loved ones, he’s too far away when they need him most. The guilt and stress has finally broken him, though, and he’s abandoned his mission to go home. But running from one horror sends him crashing into a new one. And this time, he can’t escape. It’s Noa Matene’s impeccable flight record which earns him the toughest missions the FGIA has to offer. But it’s also what keeps him confined to the farthest reaches of the known universe, separated from everyone he loves for months and years at a time. He’s well equipped to handle the solitude—until he has to watch from a distance while he nearly loses what’s most important to him. Broken by fear, he goes rogue to take back control of his life. He’s determined to make a change, no matter the consequences, to keep the promises he’s made, even if it means giving up a lifetime of work. There are more important things than missions and acclaim. Like the one he almost lost, the one who’s waiting for him. Everything he’s dreamed of is nearly in his grasp. Until his hopes and dreams come crashing down, along with his incapacitated ship. No longer a member of the Explorer corps, Skylar Chambers is happy as a navigation officer on the SB Eltanin. Spared the rigors and crushing loneliness of uncharted space, he prefers the more predictable routine of life on a base, with his daily expensive coffee habit and his small group of friends. His days aren’t exciting anymore, but he likes it that way. The only thing that would make life better would be having his best friend back in it, but Noa’s doing important work and Skylar would never ask him to give it up. When his happy mundane bubble bursts with the arrival of a couple of horrifying maydays, though, Skylar’s flung back into the chaotic whirlwind of space travel. Accepting the rescue mission which puts him back in the pilot’s seat, he hopes he can vanquish the mental demons which drove him out in the first place. This time, it’s more than his life on the line. Not even countless light years of space can keep these two souls apart. Noa and Skylar were always meant to be together, and neither of them is willing to succumb to the wild whims of fate. Despite their determination, though, circumstances beyond their control are sending them down the same fraught path their friends already trod. If history repeats itself, two more friends might go missing. They might never get home again. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.
