Weight! He lost 17 lbs of it in fifteen days? Yes, he did -- and you can, too.

In between snacks, he made the mistake of checking his Body Mass Index... The Result? OBESE! Something inside this math-hating, science-shunning, exercise-averse author snapped – and it wasn’t his stomach sleeve (because he didn’t need one – yet!) Devastated by the news, Mackay cooked up a plan to lose weight. To help, he kept a diary.

An international bestseller and the inspiration for a blockbuster film series, Suzanne Collins's dystopian, young adult trilogy The Hunger Games has also attracted attention from literary scholars. While much of the criticism has focused on traditional literary readings, this innovative collection explores the phenomena of place and space in the novels--how places define people, how they wield power to create social hierarchies, and how they can be conceptualized, carved out, imagined and used. The essays consider wide-ranging topics: the problem of the trilogy's Epilogue; the purpose of the love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta; Katniss's role as "mother"; and the trilogy as a textual "safe space" to explore dangerous topics. Presenting the trilogy as a place and space for multiple discourses--political, social and literary--this work assertively places The Hunger Games in conversation with the world in which it was written, read, and adapted.

Fandom has been celebrated both as a harmonious, tolerant space and as apolitical and detached from reality. Yet fandom is neither harmonious nor apolitical. Throughout the past century, fandom has been shaped by recurring controversies and sparked by the emergence of new circles, platforms and discourses. Since the earliest days of science-fiction fandom, fans have conceived of their communities as quasi-political bodies, and of themselves as public actors in discursive spaces. They are concerned with the organizational structures, norms, and borders of fandom as well as their own position within it all. This latter concern has moved to the forefront as fan practices and platforms have been coopted by the entertainment industry and by political actors, forcing fans to situate their fannish and political identities in relation to both sprawling transmedia franchises and right-wing groups exploiting fannish formations for political ends. Through case studies of Glee and The Hunger Games fandoms as well as events such as Gamergate, RaceFail '09 and the Hugo Awards controversies, this book explores the complexities of political fandom.

Prior to March 2020, Dagny Quinn Galt considered herself a “normie” with few opinions about politics and spirituality. But when serious questions began flooding her mind, she embarked on what she believed would be a logical, introspective journey to reveal fact-based information. Instead, her mission to know more quickly turned into an exploration of the subconscious, the I am, and the inner-knowing. In a collection of reflections, Galt invites others on her path to awakening through the beauty, ashes, and emotional roller coaster as she let intuition become her guide through life. As she reveals the insights she gathered along the way, Galt reveals how her perspectives slowly began transforming through homeopathic treatments, astrological guidance, and other methods. While chronicling her path to enlightenment, Galt shares her lessons learned and truths gained as she questioned the reliability of the US healthcare and education systems and formulated her own opinions about it all. Diary of a Conspiracy Theorist shares reflections extracted from a journey through a pandemic and beyond as a mother and loving being set out on an enlightening quest to learn more.
