Love Pops Up


Book Description

Prickly Patrick Manning always manages to get under Madison Porter’s skin. The big-city expat and new coffee shop owner in quaint Honey Springs hasn’t even bothered to try to fit in (he won’t even properly name his shop with a bee-inspired moniker, per local tradition). Worse, his coffee shop space should have been Madison’s. She’d always dreamed of taking over the town’s ice cream parlor and bringing it back to its former glory, until Patrick swooped in. But when the town discovers Madison actually made the highest bid for the store, the competition is on! She’ll set up a pop-up shop in his cafe to see which is more popular: ice cream or coffee. All’s fair in love and war, but what happens when their hearts unexpectedly start to melt for each other? First published as One Purrfect Summer




Pop-Up Books


Book Description

A convincing explanation of why interactive or movable books should be included in the library collection that documents their value as motivational instructional tools—in all areas of the school curriculum, across many grade levels. Pop-up books possess universal appeal. Everyone from preschoolers to adults loves to see and tactilely experience the beautiful three-dimensional work of Robert Sabuda, David A. Carter, and other pop-up book creators. Sabuda himself was inspired to become a pop-up book artist after experiencing the 1972 classic pop-up The Adventures of Super Pickle. The effect of these movable books on young minds is uniquely powerful. Besides riveting children's attention, pop-up books can also help build motor skills, teach cause and effect, and develop spatial understanding of objects. Based on their direct experience and many presentations to teachers and librarians, the authors have provided template lesson plans with curriculum and standards links for using the best pop-up books currently available in the instructional program of the school. The book also includes profiles of the most notable authors, a history of the format, definitions of terms such as "flap book" and "paper engineer," and information on how to create movable books. Librarians will find the section regarding collection development with the format—how and where to acquire them, proper storage methods—and the annotated listing of the authors' 50 favorite pop-ups extremely helpful.

Love Party of One


Book Description

Love Party of One examines the current love and dating world and what to expect for anyone struggling with being single and longing for love. Author, Kevin Hunter, is a love expert in love with all things surrounding the word love since he arrived on this planet. He has been out in the field studying the human condition since he was a teenager. This has included conducting social experiments as well as diving head first into the areas of love and dating in his own personal life. One of the ways of surviving modern day dating and relationships in a loveless world is by armoring yourself with knowledge. This includes knowledge over the way things currently are. You’ve went to psychic readers, you’ve cast spells, you put yourself out there, did the vision boards, the crystal meditations, and other love rituals presented to you, but you still find you’re desperately wishing the person of your dreams was here already. You grow cynical as if it will never happen and that you just have to accept the fact that perhaps it’s not in the cards. Dating is a battlefield, be prepared to get dirty. Kevin Hunter is best known for his endless array of spiritually based books. In Love Party of One, he answers some of the practical issues that readers posed regarding their personal conflicts in the current dating market. This is a non-denominational book with some light spiritual slang for anyone struggling as a single person in a loveless world. This is regardless of age, background, or whether you are straight, bi, gay, male, or female. The dating market is an equal opportunity killer and no soul is exempt from the challenges they face when it comes to love. Some of the topics discussed surround technological dating, falling in love with someone you’ve never met, codependency, exes, communicating, compromise, sex, marriage, monogamy vs. adultery, ageism, and more! What Readers Have Said: "As much as the author's personality seems to be the work of Picasso, I read the intro and first chapter of "Love Party of One". I was glued to it, because I really can relate. The things Kevin Hunter touches on in this book are right-on." - A Reader "Loved this book. This line really stood out to me: "Desiring a love partner is not co-dependent...to equate a basic human need with desperation is absurd." - A Reader "An amazing read. Realistic. The book touches upon confusions, thoughts, and emotions in one's journey to the find the one. Also relevant were a focus on couples issues after they are together. Issues such as infidelity and monogamy which is so significant in today's age. It was good to see the author reinstate the old school belief that true love is about that commitment." - A Reader "Quite a bit of my dating struggles in my own consciousness I found to be already written down in this book. Love Party of One really vibes with me. Loved it. Thank you." - A Reader "I have been reading this book and can't put it down! It's soooo good!!! Fantastic work Kevin Hunter! He should be a teacher in a school or college, or a counselor! This stuff he wrote in 'Love Party of One' is right to the point and on the mark! Damn he's good! His Archangel team guided him to a best seller in my opinion! I'm just about to start chapter 8 and each chapter is like, "Damn, he's so right! He is good! Great job with this! What a gifted Angel and Wise One he is. A true Warrior for sharing the right stuff! Thank you!" - A Reader
