Title: The Kiss Thief Pdf

They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.
Mine were broken before we left church.
They say your heart only beats for one man.
Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.
I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father's sins over his head to force me into marriage. 

They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.
One kiss.
Two men.
Three lives.
Entwined together. 

And somewhere between these two men, I had to find my forever.

THE BOOK HANGOVER OF THE YEAR! “Falling in love was so tragic. No wonder it made people so sad”A standing ovation for ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS THAT I'VE EVER READ, and L.J Shen's best story to date. It left me with the worst book hangover of the year! ITS INTRICATE PLOT IS A NEW BRAND OF PERFECTION SO MIND-BLOWING THAT IT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS.Have you ever felt that words are not enough to describe what you feel? that's me now after reading this story, I'm an emotional mess and nervous wreck. The Kiss Thief, * sigh *, is EPIC BEYOND WORDS. Oh God, I loved every second when I read it. It's so different from everything I've read before, but so completely addictive. The first words had me hooked on the story and turning the pages as if my life depended on it. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!!The plot and the characters consumed me, obsessed me, hypnotized me, with an emotional and harrowing romance bordering the dark and raw, full of love, banter, hatred, passion, opulence, power, anguish, that kept me on the edge of the seat, heart racing and a swarm of butterflies inside me stomach.Get ready for the most ruthless alpha male ever, more than Troy and Vicious together. Wolfe Keaton is despicable, cruel, he has no mercy for anyone, he also is sooooo sexy, he melted my panties, gave me goosebumps and made me blush several times. But nevertheless, he captured my heart. He loves so hard, the sweet way he protects and cares for the heroine, wow, I'm dying of love for him, he's my new obsession. MY TOP BOOK BOYFRIEND EVER!!!Francesca is a sweet, beautiful, brave and strong girl who melted my heart, her way of talking to the plants made me laugh out loud, she also faces situations with courage. She is everything I look for in a heroine. I LOVE HER!!The explosive attraction and passion between the characters is unparalleled, and the slow burn, let me tell you, it reaches stratospheric levels, it could burn a whole room. I cannot get enough of them, I still cannot get them out of my head. THEIR ROMANCE IS SOOO TEAR-JERKING, SO PASSIONATE AND EMOTIONAL, everything what I am looking for in a romance, ahhhh, I keep sighing.WITH AN EXQUISITE AND FLAWLESS PROSE, L.J. SHEN MANAGES TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE THAT REACHES YOUR SOUL. A masterfully written story that evokes so many different feelings in the reader. Mrs. Shen continues to prove why she is the best storyteller. She has an ability to wrap you with her words and catch your heart, smash it, tear it completely and break it into pieces. My soul still does not recover from the suffering. THIS LOVE STORY IS SO EPIC, SO HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL THAT I NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS WORLD OR THE CHARACTERS.It is definitely a must read. An exquisite romance that you will not want to miss. What are you waiting for? Go read it now!Dark I can’t believe I’m doing this. I have never given a bad review. It’s not my style to knock someone’s baby, and after writing a story, that’s what it is to the author.This story is dark, cruel and left me sad. At no point should rape be glorified or excused. Not. Ever. Just because she yelled at him to just do it when she HAD NO CHOICE, is not consent.Never should you be disrespected, kidnapped, held against your will or belittled.I do understand the story the author was trying to tell. I also know life isn’t always sunshine, unicorns and baby animals.The story premise was interesting. It is a story which would be a hard story to tell. But broken people aren’t always cruel, mean or vindictive. One thing I was never able to figure out, was how did she even develop feelings for him when he was absolutely horrible to her in every way? When the “feelings” were developing he was not showing her anything but cruelty and disgust.I just couldn’t get into the story. It was too dark, too disturbing and left me with an overwhelming feeling of darkness and ick. I skipped more pages than I read, just skimming most of them to see if I was missing anything important. I wasn’t. Rape. Is. Wrong. Cruelty. Is. Wrong. Broken people do stupid things granted. But not on this scale.Women, it is never ok to be forced to submit, to sex, to another’s cruel behavior, to another’s will. Never.But the really disturbing part is where the readers have given this a 4.8 stars out of 5. What does that tell us about our view of ourselves and the society we live in?

ISBN: 0525509445
Title: From the Ground Up Pdf A Journey to Reimagine the Promise of America
Author: Howard Schultz
Published Date: 2019-02-12
Page: 368

“Howard Schultz’s story is a clear reminder that success is not achieved through individual determination alone, but through partnership and community. Howard’s commitment to both have helped him build one of the world’s most recognized brands. It will be exciting to see what he accomplishes next.”—Bill Gates “From the Ground Up will resonate with anyone who knows what it’s like to overcome adversity. Howard Schultz’s dream to make the world more fair and welcoming for everyone is truly a breath of fresh air.”—Serena Williams “Howard Schultz has written a compelling and moving story about how his childhood hardships influenced his creation of Starbucks and inspired him to create a company with a social conscience. Schultz offers powerful lessons about how companies can help address social problems and how we as a society can come together to ensure that every American has the opportunities open to a poor boy from Canarsie—to see the world ‘not as it was, but as it could be.’”—Secretary Robert Gates “It’s rare for powerful Fortune 500 CEOs and entrepreneurs to open up and share their vulnerabilities and personal challenges. In From the Ground Up, Howard Schultz does just that. More important, he documents how these have motivated him to take on monumental challenges that set the example that capitalism can be a platform for not just accomplishment but also compassion. From the Ground Up is a great read that will inspire all of us to try harder to help those who need it.”—Mark Cuban “In From the Ground Up, Howard Schultz shares a uniquely American journey that begins in the public housing projects of Brooklyn and leads to the boardroom of one of the world’s most admired companies. More than a memoir or compilation of business lessons, it’s a compelling story about how character and values can spur positive change in people’s lives.”—Admiral William H. McRaven Howard Schultz is the former chairman and chief executive officer of Starbucks Coffee Company. He grew up in Brooklyn public housing and was the first in his family to graduate college. After founding a small cafe business, he bought Starbucks, which grew from eleven stores to more than 28,000 under his leadership. In 2018, Starbucks ranked fifth on Fortune’s list of “World’s Most Admired Companies.” Howard and his wife, Sheri, co-lead the Schultz Family Foundation. His other books include Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time; Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul; and For Love of Country: What Our Veterans Can Teach Us About Citizenship, Heroism, and Sacrifice. Howard has been recognized for his passion to strengthen communities, and is the recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award, the Horatio Alger Award, and the Notre Dame University Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Business Ethics. He and Sheri live in Seattle and have two children.

From the longtime CEO and chairman of Starbucks, a bold, dramatic work about the new responsibilities that leaders, businesses, and citizens share in American society today—as viewed through the intimate lens of one man’s life and work. 

What do we owe one another? How do we channel our drive, ingenuity, even our pain, into something more meaningful than individual success? And what is our duty in the places where we live, work, and play?

These questions are at the heart of the American journey. They are also ones that Howard Schultz has grappled with personally since growing up in the Brooklyn housing projects and while building Starbucks from eleven stores into one of the world’s most iconic brands.

In From the Ground Up, Schultz looks for answers in two interwoven narratives. One story shows how his conflicted boyhood—including experiences he has never before revealed—motivated Schultz to become the first in his family to graduate from college, then to build the kind of company his father, a working-class laborer, never had a chance to work for: a business that tries to balance profit and human dignity.

A parallel story offers a behind-the-scenes look at Schultz’s unconventional efforts to challenge old notions about the role of business in society. From health insurance and free college tuition for part-time baristas to controversial initiatives about race and refugees, Schultz and his team tackled societal issues with the same creativity and rigor they applied to changing how the world consumes coffee.

Throughout the book, Schultz introduces a cross-section of Americans transforming common struggles into shared successes. In these pages, lost youth find first jobs, aspiring college students overcome the yoke of debt, post-9/11 warriors replace lost limbs with indomitable spirit, former coal miners and opioid addicts pave fresh paths, entrepreneurs jump-start dreams, and better angels emerge from all corners of the country.

From the Ground Up is part candid memoir, part uplifting blueprint of mutual responsibility, and part proof that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. At its heart, it’s an optimistic, inspiring account of what happens when we stand up, speak out, and come together for purposes bigger than ourselves. Here is a new vision of what can be when we try our best to lead lives through the lens of humanity.

“Howard Schultz’s story is a clear reminder that success is not achieved through individual determination alone, but through partnership and community. Howard’s commitment to both have helped him build one of the world’s most recognized brands. It will be exciting to see what he accomplishes next.”—Bill Gates

All these negative reviews validate Schultz' stance: Our political system is broken. Easy read that strikes a good balance between autobiography, entrepreneurship, and politics. Schultz' contrasts an America that allowed him to go from the projects to the boardroom. The system has deteriorated into two angry tribes engaging in revenge politics with short-term thinking that have long-term negative consequences for the country (notably the staggering national debt which most major politicians ignore as it's easier to say the right things to get elected and leave the bill for the next generation). It's a cautionary tale that moderates/centrists/libertarians/etc. have been saying for quite some time - usually on deaf ears that are only interested in distinguishing between 'red' and 'blue'.A uplifting read Great story, nicely toldIt's About Time Mr. Schultz's views align with a large number of Americans I'm sure. It's refreshing to know that a healthy and hopeful view towards our country and it's future still exists. Hard work and good ideas should be rewarded not penalized. Bravo Howard Schultz for sharing your story, both the good and the bad parts.

Title: Get Better Faster Pdf A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers
Author: Paul Bambrick-Santoyo
Published Date: 2016-07-25
Page: 496

A COACH'S TOOLBOX TO SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCH NEW TEACHER DEVELOPMENT "Make sure your students follow your instructions." That sounds like a straightforward instruction, but in fact, it's fairly abstract. What does a teacher actually have to do to make sure students are following? Even the leader delivering this direction may not know, and the first-year teacher almost certainly doesn't. In Get Better Faster, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. The focus on the actionable—the practiceable—is what drives effective coaching. By practicing concrete actions and key micro-skills, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class. Inside this book you'll find: "This book is a must-read for all educators who develop, impact, and influence teachers in the art of teaching and learning. New teachers need a roadmap to success: this is it." —Mauriciere De Govia, District #23 Superintendent, New York City Department of Education "Every part of the book is designed to be eminently usable for leaders who strive to spend their time on what matters most for learning. It's rich with practical, detailed advice that empowers coaches to give teachers highly individualized support." —Dawn R. Robinson, Ed.D., Chief School Performance Officer, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools "Easy-to-use and relentlessly focused on practices proven to move progress—yes, it will drive achievement Faster than ever!" —Billy Snow, District Transformation and Innovation Officer, Caddo Parish Public Schools PAUL BAMBRICK-SANTOYO is the Chief Schools Officer for high schools and K-12 content development at Uncommon Schools. Paul has trained school leaders worldwide in instructional leadership in his work as cofounder of the Relay National Principals Academy Fellowship and founder and dean of the Leverage Leadership Institute. His previous books include Driven by Data, Leverage Leadership, and Great Habits, Great Readers.

“Make sure your students follow your instructions.” That sounds like a straightforward instruction, but in fact, it’s fairly abstract. What does a teacher actually have to do to make sure students are following? Even the leader delivering this direction may not know, and the first-year teacher almost certainly doesn’t. The vast majority of teachers are only observed one or two times per year on average—and even among those who are observed, scarcely any are given feedback as to how they could improve. The bottom line is clear: teachers do not need to be evaluated so much as they need to be developed and coached.

In Get Better Faster: A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. Over the course of the book, we break down the most critical actions leaders and teachers must enact to achieve exemplary results. Designed for coaches as well as beginning teachers, Get Better Faster is an integral coaching tool for any school leader eager to help their teachers succeed.

It’s the book’s focus on the actionable—the practice-able—that drives effective coaching. By practicing the concrete actions and micro-skills listed here, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class, producing a steady chain reaction of future teaching success.

Though focused heavily on the first 90 days of teacher development, it’s possible to implement this work at any time. New and old teachers alike can benefit from the guidance of Get Better Faster and close their existing instructional gaps.

Packed with practical training tools, including agendas, presentation slides, a coach’s guide, handouts, planning templates, and 35 video clips of real teachers at work, Get Better Faster will teach you:

• The core principles of coaching: Go Granular, Make Feedback More Frequent, 
• Top action steps to launch a teacher’s development in an easy-to-read scope and sequence guide
• The four phases of skill building:
  • Phase 1 (Pre-Teaching): Dress Rehearsal
  • Phase 2: Instant Immersion
  • Phase 3: Getting into Gear
  • Phase 4: The Power of Discourse

Excellent Book I've always been a fan of Paul bambrick-santoyo's books. This one is helpful in the fact that it gives administrators a scope a sequence for coaches. I already knew most of the philosophy, but now I know the most effective ways to teach these skills and when I should teach each one.Get it now. This book saved my teaching career. It is practical, chunked, and can be used to improve coaches but can also be used by teachers like me.Every administrator should have this book This book is fantastic for providing instructional coaches with a pathway and scope and sequence for how to turn newbie teachers into master teachers.

Gr 9 Up-This laugh-out-loud sci-fi, action-adventure will leave readers wanting more. Teens meet Nax as he's walking through Ellis Station, ready to leave after being washed out in under 24 hours. He meets up with a few other candidates who were also denied, and they board the shuttle that will take them back to Earth. As they all contemplate the end of their dreams, extremists enter the space station and start shooting. It's up to them to escape, come up with a plan to defeat the shooters, and try to stay alive with the skills that got them kicked out of the Academy. England's debut teen novel pulls readers into a sci-fi world well established in just a few pages. The author also captures the disenfranchised teen voice exceptionally well. The pages, filled equally with action and dialogue, will keep readers engaged for the entire book-and hoping for a next. ­VERDICT Purchase where James Howe's The Misfits is popular.-Cathleen Ash, Manor High School Library, TXα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. “This laugh-out-loud sci-fi action-adventure will leave readers wanting more.” (School Library Journal)“If humankind requires saving, then this is the crew to do it.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)“Much to recommend: nonstop cinematic action, strong feminist messages, and great diversity of characters.” (ALA Booklist)“An action-packed, entertaining blend of space hijinks, humor, and romance.” (Kirkus Reviews)“An explosion of edge-of-your-seat twists and high-stakes danger that leaves you glued to the page and rooting for these lovable misfits. I wanted a snarky romp across the galaxy, and M.K. England delivered with the force of a supernova.” (Ashley Poston, author of Geekerella and Heart of Iron)“A clever, cosmic thrill ride packed with nonstop action and starring a motley crew that won me over from page one. Just too much fun!” (Mackenzi Lee, New York Times bestselling author of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue)“Wildly entertaining and crackling with chemistry. Nax and his crew will crash land in your heart and leave you filled with laughter and hope.” (Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Escaping from Houdini)“A BLAST from start to finish! Absurd levels of fun, fantastic pacing, and lovable authentic characters bring this rollicking adventure to life. Looking for a book you can’t put down? Pick up The Disasters. Mission accomplished.” (Katherine Locke, author of The Girl with the Red Balloon (2018 Sydney Taylor Honor Book))

The Breakfast Club meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this YA sci-fi adventure by debut author M. K. England.

Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than twenty-four hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy.

Nax and three other washouts escape—barely—but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats.

On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth. Because they may not be “Academy material,” and they may not even get along, but they’re the only ones left to step up and fight.

Full of high-stakes action, subversive humor, and underdogs becoming heroes, this YA sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Illuminae, Heart of Iron, or the cult classic TV show Firefly and is also a page-turning thrill ride that anyone—not just space nerds—can enjoy.

Sadly, Didn't Love I love ya sci-fi, absolutely love it, one could even say obsessed but this book just left me feeling ... nothing.I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters, I feel like there wasn’t any genuine dialogue between them and I laugh easily but this “motley” group would break out into uncontrollable laughter over the slightest thing. I get that you can laugh more when stressed but ... it really wasn’t funny? In my opinion anyways.The characters are so diverse, everyone is diverse whether by race, sexual orientation, or upbringing so that was a nice touch. I just wanted more, I didn’t understand why any one of them would be kicked out of the academy and out of a class of who knows how many those are the ONLY four kicked out? None of them were disrespectful, criminal record, didn’t want to be there, etc etc that would put a mark against them, again, in my opinion. One of the characters is trans and that’s why she’s kicked out, one tried to hard, um? Case was too smart? And I can’t remember why Rion was on his way home?So this book is non-stop action, little character growth, and mostly planetside. So space isn’t hard because they didn’t need a helmet in the city.I’m hoping I’m in the minority and everyone else loves it, it just wasn’t for me which was a real bummer since I’ve been obsessed with the cover and blurb for months.Promising Ideas Hampered by Inconsistent Physics and Distracting Commentary In retrospect, I realize now that this novel is clearly meant for high schoolers or young adults, though it's not clearly billed that way. This starts out with excellent pacing and a strong introductory hook (from the first chapter, the shooting and action starts and doesn't much let up from there). So, for a different intended audience, this book could have been fantastic. But as it is, the protagonist (and his compatriots) are younger or slightly above 18. And while the first person narrative closely mimics someone of this age, my 30+ year old brain grew very tired of it very quickly (imagine lots of unnecessary commentary, fretting, and obsessing about sexual attraction).Which brings me to my next point: the crew of "disasters" numbers four (plus someone else that tags along about halfway through. Of these 4, the protagonist is bisexual (and attracted to 2 people of either sex at once), one is male homosexual, one is trans, and one is, presumably, female heterosexual. What are the chances that 4 random people would so perfectly represent a large portion of the gender / sexual pallette? I'm not put off by the sexuality itself, but it's very clear how hard the author is trying to cover all of the bases here, and it ultimately seems more distracting than realistic or representative. Especially with how apparently horny the main character (and 2 others) are.Besides this, the physics in this book are wildly inconsistent. Magic energy shields exist, but not artificial gravity, per se, but then "inertial dampeners" exist, which would basically be gravity fields, yet space ships can't hover unless there's iron plating below it that it can use for repulsor magnetic fields. And there's dozens of other little examples of inconsistent descriptions and laws of reality that make it unclear many times what is or should be happening. At one point, the ship the protagonists use is involved in an aerial dog fight, and someone is standing up, but when a sudden maneuver comes, rather than being thrown against a wall and killed, they're just flung over someone's lap. In addition, it's in no way clear how these ships fly in atmosphere, whether by aerodynamics or sheer thrust or something else, because it's also unclear whether the author understands that aerodynamic surfaces do not maneuver a vessel in space (there's a scene where it seems like the author really doesn't know this and never makes mention of directional thrusters).Ultimately, though, what really killed it for me was at the end ((( SPOILERS ))) ... The good guys end up defeating an entire space station full of bad guys with, and I am not kidding here, nitrous oxide, AKA laughing gas. They literally just roll a canister of NOS at hyped up bad guys with automatic rifles and the bad guys instantly dissolve in laughter. First off, that's not at all how NOS works, and despite it's nick-name, NOS is more akin to aerolized wine - maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll zonk out, maybe you'll just be confused, maybe you'll get irrationly concerned about something trivial. But you wouldn't lose all grasp of reality, and you certaintly wouldn't be instantly effected by the gas spraying wildly into open air near you from one source. At least some, if not most of the bad guys should have kept firing back, but probably with decreasing accuracy. Worse, none of these idiots apparently had the mind to bring armor or show up with a vacuum suit on, because the good guys are literally using non-lethal, non-piercing ammo the whole time while the bad guys are obviously not above mass murder. Oh, which I nearly forgot, is accomplished by way of a recycled version of The Kingsmen plot wherein everyone is killed by loud noises from their personal electronic devices (which is not possible, please, please, stop trying to do this, fiction writers, it's absurd).All told, the writing style had promise and so did the plot, but it gets increasingly buried under dumber and dumber details and plot progression. Add onto that distracting 1st person narrative, and you have yourself a mediocre novel.
