Connecting deeply with our kids can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven lives. Reading aloud offers us a chance to be fully present with our children. It also increases our kids’ academic success, inspires compassion, and fortifies them with the inner strength they need to face life’s challenges. As Sarah Mackenzie has found with her own six children, reading aloud long after kids are able to read to themselves can deepen relationships in a powerful way.

In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of raucous companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, for the town's infamous running of the bulls. Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip's maelstrom of drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, midnight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novel The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation.

Learning how to write a book is easy. Learning how to write a book that doesn't suck and can actually make you money - and set you up for a full-time writing career is harder.
But it's nowhere near impossible. And it's far more doable than you can imagine. The trouble is, most books offering tips on how to write a book fail to address two key considersations: 1) Most self-published nonfiction books suck. 2) It's almost impossible to make a living from one self-published nonfiction book.

Terry Pratchett has earned a place in the hearts of listeners the world over with his best-selling Discworld series - but in recent years he has become equally well-known and respected as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer's research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together for the first time the finest examples of Pratchett's nonfiction writing, both serious and surreal: from musings on mushrooms to what it means to be a writer (and why banana daiquiris are so important).

Publisher's Summary
Beware the Sock Monkey. "In a world where monsters and fairies roam the backyard, one gnome seeks to save his true love from an experiment gone terribly awry! You will find within this audiobook the diary entries of one Dr. Harry Gnome, mad scientist. Here there be sock monkeys. You have been warned."
One crazy spring, New York Times best-selling author Alethea Kontis co-created a Twitter serial about Dr. Harry Gnome, a pint-sized mad scientist with the luck of Victor Frankenstein. Dr. Gnome's diary is chock full of rabbits, ray guns, zombies, and sock monkeys. Before there were dapper men and fairy godmothers, there was Harry Gnome.

Fun, extremely, short story.
Interesting story of a daily diary of a mad scientist garden gnome.
"Gnomes Rule!"
Definitely leaves you wanting more.
What happens if a mad scientist gnome and airhead fairy get together?
What would their kids look like?
Would a mad scientist gnome make laxative chocolate for cookie making elves to put on their cookies to prank humans?
This story leaves you with more questions than you probably had before starting it. In a good way though.
