Without question, Fawn Birchill knows that her used bookstore is the heart of West Philadelphia, a cornerstone of culture for a community that, for the past twenty years, has found the quirkiness absolutely charming. When an amicable young indie bookseller invades her block, Fawn is convinced that his cushy couches, impressive selection, coffee bar, and knowledgeable staff are a neighborhood blight. Misguided yet blindly resilient, Fawn readies for battle. But as she wages her war, Fawn is forced to reflect on a few unavoidable truths: the tribulations of online dating, a strained relationship with her family, and a devoted if not always law-abiding intern—not to mention what to do about a pen pal with whom she hasn’t been entirely honest and the litany of repairs her aging store requires. Lake Union Publishing 9781542025850 Through emails, journal entries, combative online reviews, texts, and tweets, Fawn Pub Date: 1/1/2021 plans her next move.

A galloping epistolary novel that takes us along for the adventures (and misadventures) of Fawn, the owner of the Curious Cat Book Emporium, Confessions of a Curious Bookseller is the perfect story for anyone who’s ever wondered if there was more to life. As Green’s novel beautifully demonstrates, there is—you just have to summon the courage to go looking for it.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of This Won’t End Well “In Confessions of a Curious Bookseller, Green pays clever homage to Flaubert’s classic Madame Bovary, with an uplifting twist. While creating an imaginary world equal to the romantic stylings of Emma Bovary, Green’s quirky and quixotic Fawn Birchill pulls back just in time—reminding us all that real life can be our greatest adventure and our richest experience.” —Katherine Reay, bestselling author of The Printed Letter Bookshop and Of Literature and Lattes “Confessions of a Curious Bookseller is such a rare treat.

In 1963 Sylvia Plath took her own life in her London flat. Her death was the culmination of a brief, brilliant life lived in the shadow of clinical depression—a condition exacerbated by her tempestuous relationship with mercurial poet Ted Hughes. The ensuing years saw Plath rise to martyr status while Hughes was cast as the cause of her suicide, his infidelity at the heart of her demise. For decades, Hughes never bore witness to the truth of their marriage—one buried beneath a mudslide of apocryphal stories, gossip, sensationalism, and myth. Until now.

  • Sreading-Enteringgrade6-2021
    St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s C. V. Starr Library & Learning Center Summer Reading Suggestions 2021 Entering Grade 6 Sharing Books with Older Students Here is a selection of books for you and your family to enjoy over the summer months and a few simple tips to help parents and caregivers nurture a child’s love of reading. Many of these titles can be found at your local public library (www.nypl.org) and our school’s Sora eBook collection. Students should try to read every day and are asked to read at least five books of their own choice during the summer months. Your teacher will provide one or two of these five books, depending on your grade. You may also want to refer to this list throughout the year when borrowing books from Sora, the school’s online eBook collection, as well as the school library. Make it a family value. Children are expert observers. Whether you prefer to read books, blogs, manuals or magazines, let your child see you enjoy reading. Make reading a social activity. Talk with your child about what she or he is reading, or what you have read together. Start a parent-child book club, or attend a book signing at your local bookstore. Which is better: the book or the movie? Sometimes children will be motivated to read a book because they liked the movie. Why not listen together to Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring, see the movie, and at the conclusion of the audiobook, celebrate by whipping up a hobbit-worthy meal? Use the books as conversation starters and allow books to lead to other learning.

  • Sound Learning Audiobook Collection Lists & Samples
    Sound Learning Audiobook Collection Lists & Samples Introduction to Summer Listening “School's out for summer” proclaims the lyrics of a popular 1970s song by Alice Cooper. Kids are thrilled, but teachers and parents want to be sure kids don't fall prey to the dreaded summer slide, a term researchers have given to studies that show that students can lose one to three months of hard-won reading skills during the school break. How can parents and other caring adults help kids keep literacy skills strong? Dr. Teri Lesesne (“Summertime and the Reading Is Required?” Knowledge Quest, v. 43, no. 5, p 46-49), children's literature and reading expert, as well as an enthusiastic audiobook advocate, recommends that we “CARE about readers” by offering kids “Choice, Access, Response, and Enthusiasm.” Lesesne’s suggestion is echoed by Search Institute, creator of a framework of 40 Developmental Assets for young people that are key to school success and development into successful and contributing adults. Search Institute names reading for pleasure as a core asset and suggests creating a family tradition of reading together each day, with all screen media— television, cell phones, tablets, computers—turned off. How can families follow the advice of Dr. Lesesne and Search Institute? Try the pleasurable magic of audiobooks! Summer’s here, and the time is right for listening as families spend lots of time in the car: from pool to practice field or on trips to cross-country treks. Audiobooks turn those hectic travel times into shared literary experiences that banish boredom. Researchers have proven that audiobooks increase a listener’s vocabulary, comprehension skills, and fluency while educators advocate audiobooks for all ages, as listening is the fundamental language art which serves as the basis of reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Winners will be announced at the Audies Gala on May 30, 2013, at the New-York Historical Society in New York. Writer Daniel Handler, longtime friend and supporter of the audiobook industry will emcee the event. “It is always an exciting revelation to see which titles have been nominated, especially as the number of titles produced in audio each year is growing so rapidly,” said Michele Cobb, President of the APA. “Yet again, this year’s finalists do not disappoint.

  • Amazon – Geschäftsmodell Eines Online-Giganten Über Die Relevanz
    Amazon – Geschäftsmodell eines Online-Giganten Über die Relevanz von Kundendaten Facharbeit im Fach Informatik vorgelegt von Aline Luksch Bern, Schweiz Matrikelnummer 11-734-621 Angefertigt am Institut für Informatik der Universität Zürich Prof. Dr. Lorenz M. Hilty Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Lorenz M. Hilty Abgabe der Arbeit: 15. Januar 2015 Amazon – Geschäftsmodell eines Online-Giganten Eine Facharbeit von Aline Luksch Zusammenfassung! In dieser Arbeit wird ein kurzer Überblick über das Geschäftsmodell von Amazon gegeben und es wird aufgezeigt welche Relevanz dabei die Kundendaten haben. Amazon zählt zu den grössten amerikanischen Unternehmen, die das Internetbusiness dominieren. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage in dieser Arbeit lautet: Welche Rolle spielen die Kundendaten im Ge- schäftsmodell von Amazon? Diese wird mit Hilfe von vier Unterfragen beantwortet. Es wird zum einen nach dem Nutzen der gesammelten Kundendaten gefragt und zum anderen nach den Veränderungen die sich durch das Sammeln von Kundendaten ergeben. Aber es wird auch nach dem Geschäftsmodell mit mehr Kundendaten und auf der anderen Seite nach dem Geschäftsmodell ohne Kundendaten gefragt. Diese Fragen werden durch eine ausführliche Literaturrecherche beantwortet. Amazon nutzt die Kundendaten vor allem für ihr Empfehlungssystem auf der Website amazon.com selber. Durch Analysen und Vergleiche der Kundendaten kann dem Kunden immer ein optimal passendes Produkt empfohlen werden. Die Veränderungen durch die Nut- zung von Kundendaten sind vor allem in der Verlagswelt und im Buchschreibeprozess zu fin- den. Bereits heute existieren Datenabkommen mit verschiedenen anderen Onlinefirmen. Es ist anzunehmen, dass das Geschäftsmodell sich nicht grundlegend verändern würde, wenn noch mehr solche Abkommen zustande kommen. Die Menge an Kundendaten würde noch deutlich erhöht werden. Wenn Amazon keine Kundendaten mehr sammeln würde, müsste Amazon eine Alternative zu seinem Empfehlungssystem finden, da dieses System auf den Kundenda- ten basiert und eine zentrale Position im Geschäftsmodell von Amazon einnimmt.
