Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. The early years are Noah’s to tell; the later years are Jude’s. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they’ll have a chance to remake their world.

Book Description
Using the Sidereal Zodiac, like Nostradamus, an astrologer and metaphysician shares her insight about the blending of Eastern and Western astrology in The Zodiac Conspiracy. This book underscores the omission of Ophiuchus, a major constellation that the Greeks left off the tropical zodiac wheel. It includes a brief section on Ophiuchus, the only constellation named after a real man named Imhotep. The 13 Sun Signs of the Zodiac outlines the differences between popular tropical astrology (that you read in the daily horoscopes) and the science/astronomy of sidereal astrology. This book merges the sidereal and tropical systems to help us understand how the tropical zodiac represents who we are learning to be, while the sidereal zodiac represents who we really are. Rev.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was really a Sagittarian (The Seeker) who was learning how to be a Capricorn goat, climbing up the mountain to become The Achiever. Jesus was probably born under the sign of Virgo to a virgin mother. However, he was really a Libra (The Peacemaker) who was learning how to be a Virgo (The Selfless Servant). All of this and much, much more is explained in this extraordinary book13 Sun Signs of Zodiac.

Book Description
Welcome to The Sunbearer Trials, where teen semidioses compete in a series of challenges with the highest of stakes, in this electric new Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys. “Only the most powerful and honorable semidioses get chosen. I’m just a Jade. I’m not a real hero.” As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the chaotic Obsidian gods at bay. Sol selects ten of the most worthy semidioses to compete in the Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all—they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body melted down to refuel the Sun Stones, protecting the world for another ten years. Teo, a seventeen-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of the goddess of birds, isn't worried about the Trials . . . at least, not for himself. His best friend, Niya is a Gold semidiós and a shoo-in for the Trials, and while he trusts her abilities, the odds of becoming the sacrifice is one-in-ten. But then, for the first time in over a century, the impossible happens. Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors. Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. Worst of all, Teo’s annoyingly handsome ex-best friend and famous semidiós Hero, Aurelio is favored to win. Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed—for fame, glory, and their own survival.
