You don't get better at English by filling in blanks in grammar exercises. 'Business English' is just a marketing term. Books and dictionaries teach you words most people never use. 'If' is just a regular word with no special grammar. If you can read this description, you can speak and write like a native English speaker, and you don’t need to memorize ‘Business English’ phrases and do hundreds of grammar exercises to do it. Relax, It’s Just English will show you that you already know most of the vocabulary and grammar you need to speak and write better English. There are no exercises, and you won’t find hundreds of rules and exceptions. Over 28 chapters, you will learn shortcuts through some of the trickiest and most important parts of using English, all in a fun and easy-to-read style designed to take some of the pain out of learning the language. Writing work emails, managing tenses, and using the word 'if' are all covered in a simpler, more realistic way than most students of English have heard before, and many other overlooked topics are given needed attention. Perhaps most importantly, you'll unlearn some unnecessary rules you've been taught over the years. Less stress, more authentic language. Relax, it's just English.

Joe Pitts, a brilliant if somewhat obsessive and cynical graduate student from a wealthy dysfunctional family lashes out under pressure against what he sees as the hypocrisy of society and the futility of his life in it. Briefly committed to a psychiatric ward in the aftermath of an altercation with one of his professors, he meets Dr. Margaret Wright, a resident and Susan Holland, a somewhat mystical nursing student. Just as Joe begins to believe that his intellect and his Ego can overcome what he sees as a minor troubling interlude in his life, he receives a shock. It is a diagnosis of terminal testicular cancer. With the aid of Dr. Wright, Susan, Roberta Turner, a philosophical fellow student and Dr. Shultz, the very professor with whom his altercation began this odyssey, and a man whose wife has just made the final passage, Joe learns in the hospice to revere his own, now fleeting existence and gains the humility necessary to face the next and final stage of his life.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a sweet, smart, and uplifting story about how books find us, change us, and connect us. Once you let a book into your life the most unexpected things can happen: Like the bestselling historical novel and Netflix film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a heartwarming reminder of why we love books. Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara: Sara traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal Amy, but when she arrives she finds Amy's funeral guests just leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor—there's not much else to do in a dying small town that's almost beyond repair. You certainly wouldn't open a bookstore. And definitely not with Sara the tourist in charge. You'd need a vacant storefront (Main Street is full of them), books (Amy's house is full of them), and...customers. The bookstore might be a little quirky. Then again, so is Sara. But Broken Wheel's own story might be funnier, more eccentric and surprising than she thought. If you liked big-hearted books like The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry or Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, you will love The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. Praise for The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend: "The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a warm and slyly funny look at small towns and romance..."—New York Journal of Books "A heartwarming tale about literature's power to transform."—People "What begins as an unlikely international friendship based on a mutual love of books becomes a sweet and soulful discovery of America. Quirky, unpredictable, funny, and fresh—a wonderful book."—Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Beneath the Bonfire International Bestseller Indie Regional Bestseller National Indie Bestseller #1 Indie Next Pick

In the heart of rural Grendling, Michigan, an attempt to hit the ""restart"" button takes a sinister turn. Miri James, a devil-may-care freelance illustrator with teal hair and a chip on her shoulder, sees the small, homey town as a new start and a far cry from the city life she led with her now ex-fiance. And she's right-to an extent. 1 Red Heather Road is a polished Victorian with a tainted history all its own. The more than fair lease agreement is all the validation Miri needs to know she's making the right choice for the next step toward her rewritten future. Little does she know she's just signed on the dotted line to inhabit what's rumored to be Grendling's own Most Haunted house. In what begins as a series of easily rationalized coincidences and escalates into a fight for her life, Miri is forced to come to terms with the horrific truth of her new beginning and decide how she will allow it to end.
