A cookbook with a memoir at its heart—about breakfast, the joy of a father and son cooking together, and how we show love through food. Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it’s also the most intimate and personal. It’s when we’re in our pyjamas and with our families, not quite ready to face the world. It’s what we crave when we want comfort and it’s the easiest way to turn us back into kids again. Mark Pupo got into the habit of preparing big breakfasts every Sunday with his neurodivergent kindergartener, Sam. Everything else in life was tough and complicated, but making breakfast together was weirdly easy. (It turned out Sam loved to crack eggs, and he was really good at it.) In the kitchen, the pressure was off and they had all the time in the world to goof around. This book is a record of that first year of a father and son cooking together—of what became their weekend ritual. Filled with playful illustrations and 52 recipes for a full year of weekend breakfasts, Sundays is a journey through Mark and Sam’s morning adventures. Starting with simpler challenges, like Toast Soldiers and Almond Butter Overnight Oats, it builds to Mark’s...

Two estranged best friends find that their long-abandoned treasure hunt might be the key to a fresh start—for both their futures and their feelings, from USA Today bestselling author Sarah Adler. Last week, Nina Hunnicutt was a professor about to move into a gorgeous new apartment with her long-term boyfriend. Now, she’s single, unemployed, and living with her parents. Even more surprising is the fact that Quentin Bell, her childhood neighbor (and okay, fine, crush), is also back in town—and wants to resume the treasure hunt that ended their friendship almost two decades ago. Hoping the reward promised to whoever finds the rumored riches left behind by the town’s eccentric turn-of-the-century seltzer magnate will help her get her life back on track, Nina agrees. Granted, last time the search resulted in a broken heart and seventeen years of silence. But Nina’s older and wiser now. Surely things will be different?

« Un premier roman spectaculaire qui saisit parfaitement la tempête d’émotions des derniers jours au lycée. Je n’ai pas pu le lâcher. » Carley Fortune, autrice de Tous nos étés « — Tu te rends compte ? On pourrait aller à la fac ensemble, me lance-t-elle. — Arrête, Mina. — Toi, arrête. Tu ne trouverais pas ça amusant de venir m’embêter à la bibli ? Pour quelle autre raison y mettrais-tu les pieds, sinon ? — Mina, tu vas à Yale l’an prochain. Tu as accepté. — Je dois comprendre que tu ne veux pas qu’on soit ensemble l’année prochaine ? — Évidemment que j’adorerais être dans la même fac que toi. Tu es ma meilleure amie. Ce serait... ce serait dément. Mais je ne dois pas y penser, et toi non plus, parce que ça n’arrivera pas. Ta place est à Yale. — Moi, j’ai l’impression que notre place est ensemble. Quelque chose dans la façon dont elle dit ça me fait rougir. »

The Perennials

Número de Páginas: 271

'Will open your mind to your own future and show you a new world of adventure.' - ARTHUR C. BROOKS For the first time in human history, eight defined generations live together side by side, from Alphas to the Greatest Generation by way of Boomers, Xennials, Millennials and more. However, these definitions have so often been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories, all underpinned by the restrictive 'four stages of life' model - of play, study, work, retirement. This means that potential is left untapped on a societal level; also individuals are tied into a trajectory that minimises opportunity and fulfilment. In The Perennials, Mauro Guillén unpacks the megatrends - such as increasing longevity and the explosion of technology, among others - that are transforming life as we know it. How, within this milieu, a new group of 'perennials' must emerge: individuals who cannot be so easily defined by the pervasive metrics of age and experience or by simple inter-generational conflict. These post-generational perennials offer the promise of liberating us from the constraints of the accepted four stages of life model, therefore allowing everyone the chance of living a much more...
