Description:
In an age driven by desire, what happens when you want two different things?
Set in the pristine, precarious world of MoMA, The Modern is a brilliantly wry and insightful debut about art, sexuality, commitment and whether being on the right path can lead to the wrong place.
Things seem to be working out for Sophia in New York: having come from Australia to be at the centre of modernity, she’s working at the Museum of Modern Art, living in a great apartment with a boyfriend interviewing for Ivy League teaching positions. They’re smart, serious, dine in the right restaurants and have (a little unexpectedly) become engaged just before he leaves to hike the Appalachian Trail.
Alone in the city, Sophia begins to wonder what it means to be married – to be defined, publicly – in the 21st century. Can you be true to yourself and someone else? In a bridal shop she meets Cara, a young artist struggling to get over her ex-girlfriend, and the two begin a connection that leads Sophia to question the nature of her relationships, her career and the consequences of being modern.
Both playful and profound, inhabiting the gap between what we feel about ourselves and how we behave, Anna Kate Blair’s debut novel is a sparklingly insightful queer exploration of desire, art and her generation’s place in the world. It announces an exceptional new literary voice.
‘Cerebral and sensual … each fork in the road revealing itself with insight and beauty.’ Katerina Gibson, author of Women I Know
‘A dazzling exploration of desire and longing. Anna Kate Blair

Teaching children to keep trying
Format: Kindle
I have read a few of Elizabeth Cole’s books, so I was pretty sure that this would be another great children’s book. I wasn’t disappointed.

Nick is excited when he gets new roller skates, but he soon realizes that skating isn’t as easy as he thought. He’s about to give up when his dad talks to him about it. He gives Nick several examples of people, including his mom and his friend, who persevered and achieved their goals.
It’s important to teach children that failure is part of life and that practice is important. This book does that well!
Perseverance Makes me Stronger is told in rhymes and the illustrations are cute and colorful. It helps children to learn that failure is part of life, and we need to practice in order to achieve our goals.

Very realistic, beautiful pictures
Format: Paperback
For Montessori, this book is perfect. My daughter loves the children and the real pictures. She would take the book with her in our walks and point to the book when she saw something.

Leaves Skin Super Soft Without Being Harsh!
Style: Soap Saver
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this Cleanlogic exfoliating scrub is amazing! It has the perfect balance—it exfoliates really well but doesn’t feel scratchy or overly rough on the skin. After using it, my skin feels smooth, refreshed, and so much softer.
What I love most is that it actually lathers nicely with body wash, so it feels like a mini spa treatment every time I shower. Plus, it’s durable—I’ve been using it for weeks, and it hasn’t fallen apart like some cheaper brands I’ve tried.
Another huge plus is that the brand supports visually impaired individuals with packaging that includes Braille. It’s a small thing, but it made me appreciate the product even more.
Would I recommend it? Definitely. It’s affordable, effective, and makes my skin feel amazing after every shower.
