Will Dylan marry Roman? Southern witch Dylan Apel's to-do list is stacked high-decide whether or not to marry her boyfriend, try to stay sane amidst her crazy family's antics, and make a quickie dress for a shotgun wedding. The easiest of those is making the dress-or at least it's supposed to be. But when one of the bridesmaids confesses that she's a witch, Dylan is immediately suspicious. Witches aren't supposed to talk about their powers-every true witch knows that. Yet things turn lethal when that bridesmaid winds up dead-and the evidence points to Dylan! Now Dylan must clear her name, stop Grandma Hazel from torturing the bride for information (oh, boy), and decide on a path for the rest of her life. Will she get that chance? Or will she become the next victim of a murderer? Does Dylan say yes? Find out in Witch My Grits!

A+ Parenting: The Surprisingly Fun Guide to Raising Surprisingly Smart Kids
Eva Moskowitz, founder of the highly lauded Success Academy Charter Schools, shares her advice for raising smart, successful, and intellectually engaged children. Eva Moskowitz has built a national reputation as the founder and leader of Success Academy Charter Schools, one of the country’s most highly regarded networks of schools, but while most people know Eva for her success in educating 20,000 mainly low-income students who are routinely accepted to our nation’s best universities, she has also been responsible for raising three children of her own. In A+ Parenting, Eva shares what she has learned both as a parent and an educator about raising children to be enthusiastic and successful learners. Eva’s most important message is that parents can and should play a critical role in their children’s intellectual development. Each year, children only spend about 180 days in school; how they spend the remaining 185 days is up to their parents. Children who continue to learn when they are out of school will make far more progress than those who don’t, but parents need not attempt to recreate school at home. Instead, they can encourage their children to engage in fun activities that will have a huge impact on their creativity, intellectual curiosity, and attention span. A+ Parenting is every parent’s must-have guide to enriching every aspect of a child’s life, from the morning carpool to the soccer field to the dinner table—without having to hire tutors or carve out more hours in the day. Moskowitz explains how to take the time you’re already spending with your children and make it more fulfilling and intellectually stimulating for them. The book is full of practical guidance such as: Which extracurricular activities are best for a child’s development. How children can learn by watching movies and playing games—and why you should reach for chess or Monopoly over checkers or Candyland. How to help your child overcome a learning disability and ensure it doesn’t undermine their self-confidence. Why getting angry at children doesn’t work but expressing disappointment does. In addition to advice, this book is filled with carefully curated lists of educational activities, including games to play, movies to watch, puzzles to solve, books to read, music to listen to, and experiments to perform. These activities, supported with love and joy, are all parents need to turn their children into lifelong learners. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

BLEED: Destroying Myths and Misogyny in Endometriosis Care
Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood-and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off. Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED-part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.
Tracey Lindeman (Author), Courtney Patterson (Narrator)
Audiobook
Award-winning historian Cassandra A. Good shows how the outspoken stepgrandchildren of George Washington played an overlooked but important role in the development of American society and politics from the Revolution to the Civil War. While it's widely known in America that George and Martha Washington never had children of their own, few are aware that they raised numerous children together. In First Family, we see Washington as a father figure, as well as meet the children he helped raise and trace their complicated roles in American history. The children of Martha Washington's son by her first marriage-Eliza, Patty, Nelly and Wash Custis-were born into life in the public eye. Raised in the country's first "first family," they remained well-known as Washington's family and keepers of his legacy throughout their lives. By turns petty and powerful, glamorous and cruel, the Custises used Washington as a means to enhance their own power and status. As enslavers committed to the American empire, the Custis family embodied the failures of the American experiment that finally exploded into civil war-all the while being celebrities in a soap opera of their own making. First Family brings new focus and attention to this surprisingly neglected aspect of George Washington's life and legacy. As the country grapples with concerns about political dynasties and the public role of presidential families, the saga of Washington's family offers a human story of historical precedent.
