January 03 Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!
A motivational and instructional perspective on personal transformation and success. The author illustrates their philosophy using personal anecdotes, such as the journey from being a janitor to flying a helicopter, to emphasize the power of focused effort and consistent action over time. Key principles discussed include the idea that past failures lay the foundation for future success and that an individual's destiny is shaped by conscious decisions, particularly regarding focus, meaning, and action. The text asserts that mastering emotions, understanding core values, and changing limiting beliefs are crucial for creating lasting, global change in one's life, and that even seemingly negative emotions serve as necessary "Action Signals" for improvement.

January 02 Rebecca
Excerpts detail the tumultuous early marriage of the protagonist to Maxim de Winter, the wealthy owner of the grand estate Manderley, following the mysterious death of his first wife, Rebecca. The narrative establishes the protagonist's feelings of inadequacy and shyness, compounded by the constant, pervasive presence of Rebecca's memory and the open hostility of the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. Events escalate quickly after the protagonist is tricked by Mrs. Danvers into wearing a replica of Rebecca's dress to a fancy-dress ball, leading to Maxim's extreme anger and a devastating confrontation about his continued unhappiness. This tension culminates when the discovery of Rebecca's sunken boat and a body forces Maxim to reveal that he murdered Rebecca and fabricated her accidental drowning a year earlier. The inquest that follows, with the arrival of the threatening Jack Favell and the investigation of Rebecca's last movements, eventually leads to the revelation that Rebecca was terminally ill and likely killed herself after taunting Maxim into shooting her.

January 01 Release
A young adult novel, as evidenced by the acknowledgment of inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Judy Blume's Forever. The narrative centers on Adam Thorn, a teenage boy navigating a tumultuous day involving his strained relationship with his religious, homophobic parents and brother Marty, a disturbing incident of sexual harassment by his boss Wade, and the imminent departure of his best friend Angela and his former lover Enzo. Intertwined with Adam's story is a concurrent magical realism plotline featuring a Queen/spirit entity connected to the recent murder of Katherine van Leuwen and a faun, suggesting a parallel quest for release and justice. The story explores themes of identity, love (specifically gay teenage love with his new boyfriend Linus), family, and societal pressures.

December 31, 2025 The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind
Focuses on applying concepts of neuroscience, particularly brain integration, to effective parenting and child development. It explains how helping children integrate different parts of their brain—such as the left brain (logic and language) and the right brain (emotions and nonverbal cues), or the "upstairs brain" (thoughtful decision-making) and the "downstairs brain" (instinctual reaction)—leads to mental health, referred to metaphorically as the "river of well-being." The source details specific "Whole-Brain Strategies" like "Connect and Redirect" and "Name It to Tame It," using real-life examples to demonstrate how parents can help their children process emotions, memories, and conflict to promote overall integration and well-being. The authors, a clinical professor of psychiatry and a psychotherapist, emphasize that these practices, including developing "mindsight" or self-awareness, allow children to thrive by avoiding extremes of chaos and rigidity.
