  Praise for Graham Mott & "Hooked by Fly Fishing." 
  Here is a book review from John Shewey, Editor of American Fly Fishing Magazine: 
  "I love a good yarn, but a fun tale from a fly angler is especially entertaining, and Graham M. Mott delivers a collection of true stories that will ring familiar to anyone who has practiced the art for a longtime. His stories will resonate with fly anglers in all walks of life. 
  In one incident, Mott manages to impale himself with a fly. We’ve all been there, but not of all us have fished out the rest of the day with a fly dangling from our lip before finally seeking medical attention at a local clinic. Some of us have done that, but few of us can report a second self-hooking that only to ends up in front of the same doctor. 
   Mott recalls many times when his favorite sport—his addiction—has provided him catharsis. Mott’s stories enshrine personal relationships made all the richer through fly fishing. His stories range from the humorous to the poignant. He also recounts some great catches, but his essays clearly echo the sentiment that it’s the fishing that matters far more than the catching." 
  *A Great gift for any fisherman. Listen now!

  Written in the late nineteenth century by E. D. Darlington and L. M. Moll, How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre is a clear, methodical guide to planning and managing a productive home garden on a practical scale. 
  Originally developed from two prize-winning essays, this handbook presents a complete system for designing, planting, and maintaining a one-acre kitchen garden with efficiency and purpose. It covers every stage of the process—from choosing and preparing the site, enriching soil, and laying out orderly rows, to selecting reliable seed, building hotbeds and cold frames, and organizing rotations and successions throughout the season. 
  The authors provide concise, crop-by-crop instructions for vegetables and small fruits, including asparagus, beans, cabbages, carrots, melons, celery, potatoes, and more. Guidance is grounded in observation and experience, emphasizing spacing, timing, cultivation, harvesting cues, and practical storage methods suited to home use or small-scale market production. 
  Direct, systematic, and refreshingly unsentimental, this volume reflects a time when gardening was treated as skilled work rather than pastime. It remains a valuable resource for listeners interested in traditional horticulture, self-sufficiency, and the disciplined planning behind a well-run kitchen garden.

  Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
   
   
   
  While most of us fly-fish to escape from daily life, for John Gierach and his friends fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective, bitingly humorous, and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. In vivid, unforgettable detail they recount the emotional, spiritual, and tangible adventures and pleasures of stalking trout in and around the Rockies—day in, day out, from season to season, with friends, and alone. John Gierach's essays join the literary tradition of angling classics like The River Why, and A River Runs Through It.

  Read by the author 
  "Funny, brutally honest and compulsively readable.” — BookPage, STARRED review 
  "An insightful, funny, and refreshingly personal journey into workaholism and the pathological Type A mind." — Cat Marnell, New York Times bestselling author of How to Murder Your Life 
  A superstar podcast producer delivers a unique, laugh-out-loud, cry quietly invitation to examine our delusional obsessions with work in this eye-opening book—part memoir, part mentoring, part confessional guide—that dissects the emotional ties that bind us . . . to our desks. 
  For any type-A, high achiever out there, this is the book that sees you. And provides a cathartic, funny, emotionally charged insight into what drives the perfection-oriented. 
  Laura Mayer was born a girlboss. As a child in suburban Illinois, she played "V.P. of Sales" in her bedroom, dictating important memos to her twin brother and swapping Judy Blume for the buzzy business books of the day. While other kids dreamed of being pop stars or pro athletes, little Laura had a single-minded focus: the corporate ladder. 
  Some thirty years later, from a dizzying perch on that very ladder—as Executive Producer of Podcasts at ABC News, with such blockbuster shows as Revisionist History, Bad Blood, and Happier with Gretchen Rubin to her credit—and with an identity shaped by annual reviews, performance indicators, and “executive presence” (whatever that means) a disillusioned Laura is calling "bullshit" on the whole work-is-life thing. Sort of. 
  Tryhard is a gonzo memoir for 9-to-5 devotees who have read every business book and C-suite-or-bust instruction manual yet still find we’re burnt out and unhappy. It is also a deeply personal and poignant examination of why we race at all. Laura detangles this delusional mess of priorities we've created, rejects the “boss-at-any-cost” culture, and invites us to laugh at ourselves (and her) along the way. She offers the modern office worker a new path forward through her own revelations, and implores us, for the love of God, to chill out a little bit. 
  This is Laura's messy, somewhat enlightened, possibly transformative, heart-wrenching and always entertaining story—a one-of-a-kind sightseeing trip on the Great American hamster wheel.
