Question: How do you get over it? Answer: You don't. You don't want to. It makes you who you are. Sean Murphy lost his mother days after her fifty-ninth birthday, following a five-year battle with cancer. In this eloquent memoir, he explores his family history through the context of grief, compassion, faith, and the cultivation of an artistic sensibility. Unfolding in a range of voices, brutal and tender in its portrayal of terminal illness, Please Talk about Me When I'm Gone is an unyielding love story, in which devotion and memory are capable of transcending death. I will be serializing this memoir with a new chapter twice a week, on Friday and Sunday.

After Julie Delgado's restaurant closes, she temporarily takes over the catering position at the Rose Chalet, a full-service San Francisco wedding venue. She plans to dazzle the bride and groom so the Chalet's owner will keep her around, but fate has other plans for her when the bride's brother shows up for the first food tasting. Andrew Kyle is not only the Cuisine Channel's Edgy Eats host and chef, but his recent review of Julie's restaurant was the final nail in its coffin. Once he meets Julie at the Rose Chalet, he's certain she's playing it safe. And he wants nothing more than to be the one to break her guarded passions loose. But despite the undeniable sparks between Julie and Andrew-and the fact that he seems to believe in her when no one else does-can she afford to be taking risks with her cooking, with her career...or with her heart?

Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys-especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She's beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect. Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend-that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn't want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can't keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it's obvious to everyone they're crushing on each other. As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he's scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret-one that can destroy their entire relationship. (*Note: This book is also published on the author's page @LaceyWeatherford.)

Un professeur c'est quoi? Normalement c'est quelqu'un de respectable, qui nous enseigne une matière et qu'on se doit d'écouter. C'est quelqu'un qui exerce une certaine autorité sur ses élèves. Mais quand le nouveau prof débarque, tout est chamboulé. En plus d'être irrespectueux et vulgaire, il est beau comme un dieu. Il drague tout ce qui bouge et tout ça sans jamais rien nous apprendre. Dites bye au cliché du vieux professeur bedonnant parce que Cole Rivers est arrivé...
