Meant to Be (eBook, ePUB)

A restless golden boy and a girl with a troubled past navigate a love story that may be doomed before it even begins, in this irresistible new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted and The Lies That Bind. The Kingsley family is American royalty, beloved for their military heroics, political service, and unmatched elegance. In 1967, after Joseph S. Kingsley, Jr. is killed in a tragic accident, his charismatic son inherits the weight of that legacy. But Joe III is a free spirit-and a little bit reckless. Despite his best intentions, he has trouble meeting the expectations of a nation, as well as those of his exacting mother, Dottie. Meanwhile, no one ever expected anything of Cate Cooper. She, too, grew up fatherless-and after her mother marries an abusive man, she is forced to fend for herself. After being discovered by a model scout at age sixteen, Cate decides that her looks may be her only ticket out of the cycle of disappointment that her mother has always inhabited. Before too long, Cate's face is in magazines and on billboards. Yet she feels like a fraud, faking it in a world to which she's never truly belonged. When Joe and Cate unexpectedly cross paths one afternoon, their connection is instant and intense. But can their relationship survive the glare of the spotlight and the so-called Kingsley curse? In a beautifully written novel that captures a gilded moment in American history, Emily Giffin tells the story of two people searching for belonging and identity, as well as the answer to the question: Are certain love stories meant to be?

Cricut for Beginners: The Ultimate Practical Guide to Learn How to Start Cricut Step by Step and Become a Seasoned Master Machine with Illustrated Practical Examples , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min

Are you looking for a complete and detailed guide on cricut? Then keep reading…Cricut it is not a machine that’s well known in the arts and crafts or even the baking community. I myself, who used to take pride in understanding everything there is to know about crafts, never knew about these bad boys. Obviously, I didn’t grasp as much as I initially thought, but I am glad that I discovered this brand. Now, I do not claim to know everything regarding Cricut machines, nor am I saying that I am familiar with every hack there is. Despite that, I do know enough to teach a novice, or even a more advanced Cricutter, some things. The Cricut machine really is and what it can do. There are three current models of Cricut cutters, the Explore Air, Explore Air 2, and the Cricut Maker. All three of these models are compatible with the current Circuit Design Space plugin for your computer. The Explore Air is the oldest model, but it offers a wireless or Bluetooth connection to your computer that hosts your Design Space. This machine can cut a variety of materials including paper, vinyl, fabric and more. Next in line is the Explore Air 2 machine, which is a minor upgrade from the original Explore Air offering. It added three colors to the collection; Mint Blue, Rose Anna, and Giffin Lilac. This model also offers a Fast Mode that allows users to cut vinyl, iron-on, and cardstock. The final and newest offering from Cricut is the Maker model. This model was released in August of 2017. It was designed to cut thicker materials such as Balsawood, Basswood, leather, felt, and non-bonded fabrics. The Maker model is the only Cricut machine designed to use a Rotary Blade, to cutting fabric directly, as well as a scoring wheel that has variable pressure levels to score thicker cardstock papers than the original scoring stylus previously used. All three of these machines also allow crafters an option for adding an element of writing and dr ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Ford.

The Songs of Power: A Northern Tale of Magic, Retold from the Kalevala (Skyhook World Classics, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

Not so long ago, in the tiny, isolated villages of Finland, where prolonged summer days gave way to endless winter nights, people would pass the time by singing the many adventures of their favorite heroes: the mighty, magical men and women of ancient days. They sang of old Vainamoinen, greatest of sages and magicians, who helped create the world but never could find a woman to wed him. They sang of his friend and ally Ilmarinen, first among craftsmen, the blacksmith who forged the dome of the heavens. They sang of Louhi, the ancient lady of Northland, whose crafty wit and magical powers made her a worthy opponent for Vainamoinen himself. And they sang of Aila, Louhi's lovely daughter, who captured the hopes of the two old friends and drew them as rivals to the shores of Northland. And while these songs could still be heard, there came along a rural doctor, a scholar, who gathered and wove them together in a book he called the Kalevala. And so he created for Finns a national epic, and for the rest of the world, a work of wonder. The songs endure, the heroes live. . . . For ages 10 and up.

Cried Joukahainen, "Reverse your words, undo your spells! I will give you a hat full of silver, a helmet full of gold." "Keep your wealth," said Vainamoinen. "My coffers overflow." He chanted again, and Joukahainen sank to his chest. "Reverse your words, undo your spells! I will give you fields for plowing, meadows for pasture." "Keep your land. My farm stretches beyond sight." He chanted again, and Joukahainen sank to his chin. "Reverse your words, undo your spells! I will tell you of the fairest woman, the finest maiden." Vainamoinen stopped his chant.
