Summary

Fans of Kate DiCamillo and Linda Urban will love The Thing About Georgie, a warm and humorous story starring an unforgettable young boy with dwarfism, from acclaimed author Lisa Graff.  
As far as Georgie is concerned, everyone has a "thing." 
The thing about poodles is that Georgie Bishop hates to walk them. 
The thing about Jeanie the Meanie is that she would rather write on her shoe than help Georgie with their Abraham Lincoln project. 
The thing about Andy's nonna is that she kisses Georgie's cheeks and doesn't speak one word of English. 
The thing about Georgie's mom is that she's having a baby—a baby who will probably be taller than Georgie very, very soon. 
The thing about Georgie . . . well, what is the thing about Georgie?
Available since: 10/06/2010.

    NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES 
    DISCLAIMER: The long term effects of listening to this audio are unknown. Scientists have detected slightly higher rates of panic, fright and free-floating anxiety amongst listeners to this audio than that found in those listeners who engaged in more pleasant listening activities.  
    Dear Listener, 
    Like handshakes or housepets, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up—and down—a range of strange and distressing mountains.  
    It would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire. 
    Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery audio slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit. 
    With all due respect, 
    Lemony Snicket

    Spotify Profits 20 - Music...

    Spotify has changed the way we listen to and share music in a dynamic, profound and irreversible way. Fans across the world can access songs, albums and entire back catalogs at the click of a button, and the artists behind the music get paid for every one of those streams. 
    Isn’t that incredible? Music labels are no longer a necessity. The power is in the creators’ hands more than ever before. 
    But it isn’t just a case of releasing a song onto Spotify and hoping for the best. With over 60,000 new songs being uploaded to Spotify each day, the main question for the contemporary musician is now this: 
    How do you get your music heard in such a crowded marketplace?  
    Enter Chris Greenwood, a.k.a. the award-winning Canadian rock artist Manafest. 
    With a million monthly Spotify listeners and 130 million streams, Chris knows how to harness the power of this incredible music sharing platform. He understands how to trigger the algorithm, how to pitch and get added to editorial playlists, and how to co-create with other artists to enhance your profile and your reach. He’s a virtuoso of marketing and promotion, and his Waterfall Release Strategy (shared in detail in the book) has been one of the keys to his own phenomenal success on Spotify. 
    But mostly, Chris knows how to reach people. And in this era, if you want to be both a financially lucrative andcreatively fulfilled musician, you need to build a fanbase and keep it growing. That’s how you get streams, and that’s how you make a profit on Spotify. 
    This book is the result of over a decade of careful research, thoughtful experimentation, and ultimately the mastering of Spotify. 
    Chris’ career has grown in tandem with rise of Spotify, and there is no better, more inspiring, or more direct guide for your journey into the new singles economy than this.
