Spoiled, tempestuous sixteen-year-old Tamara Goodwin has always gotten everything she s ever wanted. Born into the lap of luxury she has a designer wardrobe, a mansion with a swimming pool, and a group of popular friends. Comfortable in the here and now, Tamara has never had to look ahead towards tomorrow. But the sudden death of her father — with an empty bottle of whiskey and empty bottle of pills — irrevocably shakes Tamara s world. Suddenly all that s left of Tamara s old life is a mountain of debt. The threat of repossession forces her and her mother to sell everything and move to the country to live with Tamara s Uncle and Aunt. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their new home is a million miles away from the world of Tamara s childhood. With Tamara s mother locked in her room grieving, and Rosaleen — Tamara s aunt — hovering worriedly with mountains of food, Tamara is lonely and bored, longing to return to the past. It feels as though the loss of Tamara s father s tomorrows took all of hers with him. The only change in her day-to-day routine is a traveling library run by a cute boy, Marcus. Drawn at first to Marcus s looks, Tamara s attention soon turns elsewhere. Standing out of all the books is a large leather bound book; brown and thick, with no author s name or title along the spine. Even more intriguing, it has a gold clasp and padlock that won't budge. After several attempts Tamara finally wrestles the book open, and what she finds within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its very core. Compelling, charming, and told in Cecelia Ahern s signature style, The Girl of Tomorrow is an utterly unique story about grief, loss, and how sometimes it takes tomorrow to get us through today.

Bringing Home the Birkin
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Автор: Michael Tonello
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2009
|
PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ
|
Michael's newfound career started with an impulsive move to Barcelona, a vanished job assignment, no work visa, and an Hermes scarf sold on eBay to generate some quick cash. But soon the resourceful Michael discovered the truth about the waiting list and figured out the secret to getting Hermes to part with one of these precious bags. With down-to-earth wit, Michael chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent, from eBay to Paris auction house and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs. Flirting with danger, Michael recounts the heady rush of hand delivering his first big score to famed songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in Paris; how he had to hire thugs to rescue a bag that one of his 'shoppers' held for ransom; and, the story of the Oscar-worthy performances that allowed him to snag 'reserved' bags from other, less dogged Birkin seekers. Whether he's relating his wining and dining, buying and selling, dodging and weaving, laughing and crying, or schmoozing and stammering, Michael is a master raconteur who weaves together tales of hunting Birkins in the world's most posh locales, memories of meals that would make any gastronome salivate, anecdotes of obsessed collectors with insatiable desires, and sweetly intimate stories about his family, friends, and finding true love. The result is a memoir that is distinctive, fun, page-turning, and as addictive as its namesake.

Catherine the Great

PDF, 464 страницы, 13.92 МБ
|
Admired for her achievements and satirized for her personal life, Catherine the Great was one of the most celebrated monarchs in history, turning eighteenth-century Russia into arguably the largest and most powerful state since the fall of the Roman Empire. She promoted radical political ideas while emphasizing moderation in government. She could be ruthless when necessary, but she charmed everyone she met, joking at private dinner parties in the Hermitage, which she had built for her own use. Determined to endear herself to the Russians, she made religious devotions in which she never believed. Intimate and revealing, Catherine the Great examines the lifelong friendships that sustained the empress throughout her personal life and places her within the context of the royal court: its politics, its flourishing literature and the very culture that became central to her exercise of absolute power.

What makes an otherwise sane woman appear on a reality TV show? Especially one as drastic as Ugly Duckling? For Audra Marks, the last straw comes when she loses her shot with handsome Art Bradshaw to the prettier and lighter-skinned Esmeralda Prince. Audra's always lived in a classic movies fantasy world of diva dames and handsome heroes, where the costumes are gorgeous, the good guys always win, and love always triumphs. But now, her heart broken, she's decided to do anything to get back her man and show her hypercritical mother she can pretty up with the best of them in the bargain. After all, if the folks at Ugly Duckling can transform a homely, buck-toothed white girl into a ravishing beauty, just think what they'll be able to do with Audra! But until she truly believes she's beautiful inside, it won't matter how hot and pretty they make the outside package. And Audra's obsession with perfection may be leading her farther and farther away from what's really important — and blinding her to the love that's been waiting there all along...

«Book: Secrets Of The Miilionaire Mind For the first time, the secrets, principles, and techniques of Eker's popular and proven personal success seminars are captured on CD. Abridged. 3 CDs. In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: «Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life». Eker does this by identifying your «money and success blueprint.» This blueprint determines your financial life. If your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money — and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it. The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success. In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, you will learn how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny. You will also learn how to identify your own money blueprint and «revise» it to not only create success but, more importantly, to keep and continually grow it. Finally, you will be introduced to the «Wealth Files» 17 specific ways rich people think and act. These include specific action steps for you to practice in order to increase your income and accumulate wealth. It's simple, if you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you'll get rich too.»
