Book Description
So take off your mask, and turn off your mobile phones. Let’s get this thing going on like Mrs Jones. Cold beer, dark rum, no volume control, Jazz, Latin, swing, reggae got soul. Take your leave of lockdown, And let some old Motown Rattle your bones. Like many others around the world, Tam Mullen searched for a way to express his thoughts and feelings during the pandemic. In a collection of fifty-two rhyming poems birthed during that period, Mullen reflects on growth, change, and uncertainty as well as political ineptitude and the complexity of our relationships with inanimate objects. Penned weekly during the lockdown in the UK, Mullen’s poems, sometimes touching and sometimes humorous, explore such diverse topics as Zoom-induced psychosis, overused cliches, an album of family photographs, a cucumber discovered in the back of a salad drawer, the gateway drug of young love, a kitchen disco in full flow, and much more. This Week’s Words is a volume of rhyming poetry that reflects on one man’s journey through his thoughts and feelings during a global pandemic lockdown.

Book Description
Words are powerful. By changing a single word, the entire meaning of a message can be obscured or misdirected. God knew the power of words when He inspired the authors and translators of His divine messages in scripture. By carefully studying why certain words were used in scripture, we will find a deep ocean of interpretation and personal application. Come Follow Me: Words of the Week is the perfect introduction to a richer understanding of God's words. Prominent Latter-day Saint speaker, author, and educator Eric Richards clearly explains the etymology, exegesis, historical background, and modern revelations of significant words from the scriptures. Broken down into a few words per week, this guide makes studying the scriptures individually or as a family easier and more accessible. Discover the contextual meanings of words and phrases such as "wax gross," "born again," and "profane," but also deep dive into the significance of biblical names like "Bethebara," "Babylon," and "Jerusalem." With only a few words a week, jumpstart a year of joyous exploration into the scriptures, come to appreciate the power of words in your own life, and feel your testimony strengthen with every new understanding.

Book Description
How many of us allow our treasured memories of ourselves, our children, and their children to slowly slip away and be forgotten, never having been recorded for future generations? “I decided to give my children and their children slices of our lives in book form, a family heirloom of memories in story form, with a photo or illustration with each story,” says Junebug, the author of this wonderful storybook. Words for the Week represents a compilation of one hundred stories, featuring experiences and relationships of the author’s family and friends, spanning the ages of three months to 73 years old. Each story centers on one word or phrase, which becomes the theme and title of the story, and encourages readers to think about similar events in their own lives. Says the author, “Characters in these stories range from myself and my children from a very young age to adulthood, and friends in various situations in life. The emotional content spans the gamut from hilarious to quite serious and sad. This is a verbal depiction of the actual lives of myself and my children, Denise, Danny, Debi, and Davy, all of whom are now grown and happy with the lives they have chosen and built for themselves.” Junebug began writing these stories while working for her local weekly newspaper. “The idea of a building a book of stories for my children about our lives was then born. After three years, one hundred stories were finally completed.”

Book Description
“We think of English as a fortress to be defended, but a better analogy is to think of English as a child. We love and nurture it into being, and once it gains gross motor skills, it starts going exactly where we don’t want it to go: it heads right for the goddamned electrical sockets.” With wit and irreverence, lexicographer Kory Stamper cracks open the obsessive world of dictionary writing, from the agonizing decisions about what to define and how to do it to the knotty questions of ever-changing word usage. Filled with fun facts—for example, the first documented usage of “OMG” was in a letter to Winston Churchill—and Stamper’s own stories from the linguistic front lines (including how she became America’s foremost “irregardless” apologist, despite loathing the word), Word by Word is an endlessly entertaining look at the wonderful complexities and eccentricities of the English language.
