  An inspiring and approachable tip-filled guide to changing your habits, living more sustainably, and taking action, by Greenpeace ambassador Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies) 
  Go Gently is a guide for sustainability at home that offers simple, tangible steps toward reducing our environmental impact by looking at what we consume and the waste we create, as well as how to take action for environmental change. The title reflects Bonnie Wright’s belief that the best way to change our planet and ourselves is through a gentle approach, rather than a judgmental one. This is a book of do’s rather than don’ts. It’s also an invitation to Wright’s followers to join her on this journey to sustainability. 
  Going through every room in her home, Wright helps us assess which products are sustainable, and alternatives for those that are not. She shares recipes to avoid waste, homemade self-care products to avoid packaging, small space-friendly gardening ideas, and a template for creating your own compost system. Finally, to sustain yourself, there are exercises and meditation prompts to keep you energized, plus info on how to get involved in community and organizations. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Nine mythologies. Nine toolkits. One complete system for building worlds that breathe. 
  Myth isn't a relic. It's the oldest technology for making sense of a world that refuses to stay simple, and you don't need a degree in classics to wield it. 
  The Mythology Builder's Toolkit gives you nine complete workshop chapters, each packed with archetypes drawn from mythologies worldwide, worked examples you can steal from, and creative dares that won't let you play it safe. 
  WHAT'S INSIDE: 
  The Genesis Engine: six ways worlds begin, and how creation shapes the map 
  The Divine Spectrum: gods, ghosts, and the hungry dead as one living ecosystem 
  The Mirror Framework: heroes and villains built as two halves of one wound 
  The Hunger Principle: why every monster worth building wants more than it eats 
  The Pairing Principle: relics and sanctums that need each other to matter 
  The Scale Shift: every quest is a small apocalypse; every apocalypse is someone's quest 
  From Greek and Norse to Yoruba, Hindu, Maya, Aboriginal Australian, and dozens more, this book draws on over 100 cultural traditions to give you frameworks that work for any world you're building. 
  A through-line mythology called the Loom runs across all nine chapters, built from scratch, showing every toolkit in action: creation to apocalypse, gods to monsters, tricksters to prophecy. 
  Whether you're writing a novel, designing a tabletop campaign, or building a world from the ground up, this is the craft book that treats mythology as a living practice, not a museum exhibit. 
  From the creator of Gods and Monsters, one of the largest mythology encyclopedias on the web, and the daily Substack read by over 50,000 mythology lovers. 
  No formulas. No footnotes. No permission required. Start building.

  A Bushel of Beans and a Peck of...

  One of the most successful nightclub and theater comedians in America started out a long way from the stage, in the tiny farming community of Lithonia, Georgia. James Gregory was born into a family with lots of love but little money. His parents paid the doctor for his delivery with "a bushel of beans and a peck of tomatoes." 
   
   
   
  Before he became "The Funniest Man in America," James was a successful salesman of everything from encyclopedias to log homes. His philosophy: take care of yourself so nobody has to take care of you. When he started over as a comedian, this commitment to hard work and honest dealing would be the key to his "business" of comedy. James loves working people—because that's what he is, too. 
   
   
   
  James was quickly discovered—not just in the South, but across America—by folks who love down-home, wholesome humor. He became the court jester of country music royalty, too, from Randy Travis to "Whispering" Bill Anderson to the Possum himself, George Jones. Whether it's entertaining our troops in the Persian Gulf after 9/11, working the road with greats like Steven Wright and Jay Leno, or facing a heart-stopping emergency that sent him into a coma, James has squeezed a dozen lifetimes into a half-century of comedy. This book is the best James Gregory story yet—as only he can tell it.

  When he was a child, James Middleton wanted nothing more than a dog of his own. 
   
   
   
  Struggling to connect in the classroom, James would often take off in pursuit of nature and animals—exploring the Berkshire countryside, tinkering with rusty farm machinery, caring for injured creatures, and losing himself for hours to the outdoors. 
   
   
   
  Then, finally, his pleas for a dog (made via handwritten letters to his parents) were answered. 
   
   
   
  Meet Ella traces the extraordinary bond between James and his beloved first pup, Ella. From their enchanting introduction to their many adventures, from Scottish mountain sides to royal weddings, their journey is marked by love, loyalty, and unexpected twists of fate. 
   
   
   
  But beyond the glamorous veneer of society engagements and entrepreneurial achievements lies a deeply personal account of James's battle with depression. Through unconditional love, Ella emerges as an intuitive friend, reading James's moods and offering solace, becoming the catalyst for his healing journey and helping him to see all the good in his life and future. 
   
   
   
  Meet Ella is a wonderfully heartwarming celebration of an unbreakable bond and the amazing healing potential of the human-animal connection.
