When a local politician goes missing, Jade sees a lucrative opportunity to drum up new clients and inject some much needed cash into their pockets. Jade submits a ''psychic vision'' to the police tipline only to discover that her shot in the dark is chillingly accurate when the police find the politician''s body. Caught in a media whirlwind, Jade revels in her newfound popularity and success, but she quickly finds herself not only the target of a police investigation, but of the killer who is still on the loose. With stunning suspense that is perfect for fans of Samantha M. Bailey, Finley turns the screws tighter into a taunt and thrilling read.

Tarot. The Library of Esoterica - Jessica Hundley
To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story.For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands—mystics and artists often working in collaboration—have transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a source of divination and system of self-exploration, as each new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the medium.Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in this pocket-sized edition of Tarot from TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series. The book explores the symbolic meaning behind hundreds of cards and works of original art, spanning from Medieval to modern, and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle and includes the decks of dozens of contemporary artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity forward.

Tarot Tableau Revolution - Maria Alviz Hernando
A modern twist on a classic method of reading tarot that enables readers to consistently interpret the cards with accuracy and confidence. The first documented evidence of tarot cards as we know them today derives from early fifteenth century Italy, where they were used in a card game known as Tarocco. Transported to France, the name of the game became Tarot. By the late eighteenth century, there is documented evidence from France that the cards were being used for divination. In the twenty-first century, various spreads, such as the three-card spread or the Celtic Cross, are familiar to most readers. However, among the very earliest methods of divining with tarot cards involved the tableau. Some of the earliest paintings depicting tarot readers show them seated at a table with the cards arranged in a tableau. The French word tableau literally means a “picture” or an “arrangement.” The tarot tableau technique involves laying out cards in a square or rectangular shape and interpreting them in the way that one might interpret a painting. Cards are read in relationship to one another. Different tableaus utilize different numbers of cards. The tarot tableau blends traditional tarot and European cartomantic techniques, resulting in a system that aims to make tarot effective, useful, and to the point. Over the centuries, the tableau technique fell into obscurity, but it remains recognized as among the most accurate ways of reading and interpreting tarot. Although the system survived in Europe, the technique was less well known in North America, until María Alviz Hernando began teaching and demonstrating it at tarot conferences. Tarot Tableau Revolution, the first book from author María Alviz Hernando, codirector of the World Divination Association, revives this method for a modern audience, offering tips and techniques for mastery of this system. Tarot tableau reading has become María's signature spread; her presentations and classes have been met with acclaim. Tarot Tableau Revolution covers an entire system, teaching readers to read tarot based on classic cartomantic techniques. These techniques give any reader a very strong foundation with which to work. Readers go on a journey that begins with narrative readings of three or five cards, building up to the nine-card tableau (the flagship of the system), and then expanding into the five-by-five tableau or the Tarot Grand Tableau. No dot is left unconnected in this system! Readers learn how the cards interact on different levels: elemental, directional, relational. This way, they can easily commit to a concrete answer in their readings—the multiple elements allow them to substantiate their interpretation. The goal with the tarot tableau, as taught in Tarot Tableau Revolution, is to understand a method of reading so solid that on your worst, most uninspired day you can still offer the best guidance.

Radical Tarot - Charlie Claire Burgess
A dynamic re-envisioning of the tarot, including tarot card imagery, that describes how the tarot is queer, that the archetypes are alive, and that tarot doesn’t tell the future; it creates it.Radical Tarot meets the tarot in a space of evolution, deconstruction, and creation, using the historical and common meanings of the cards as a launchpad for digging into limiting beliefs and societal conditioning and unlocking the personal truths beneath.The Fool’s Journey is re-envisioned as a journey to non-binary thinking, the gender essentialism is ousted from the Major Arcana and the Court Cards—and all the cards—are reframed through a non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, and intersectional lens. The archetypes are re-imagined in modern, progressive, and queered contexts. For example:– The Empress and the body positivity movement– Justice, not in the legal sense, but as ethical discernment and accountability– Temperance and transcending the gender binary– The Devil and anti-capitalism– Judgement and revolutionRadical Tarot also touches on Charlie’s personal story of how tarot helped them embrace their queerness, leave their marriage, and radically change their life. It speaks to their queer awakening and how tarot became, for them, a tool for social justice and conscious awareness of the world around them. Their words and experience will help anyone who wishes to be closer to their own authentic selves.

Falling in Love at the Movies - Esther Zuckerman, Turner Classic Movies
Prepare to swoon, ugly cry, laugh, and fall in love with this officially licensed exploration of the impact and legacy of one of film's most beloved genres from Turner Classic Movies: the rom-com. Romantic comedies have had an incredible influence on popular culture, shaping everything from how we think of relationships to fashion. Often swept aside in film history, these movies are thought of as pure comfort viewing. Although they certainly provide those fuzzy feelings, they have also had a significant artistic influence and cultural impact. Spanning decades of romantic comedies—from movies of the 1930s such as It Happened One Night and the rom com craze of the 80s and 90s including When Harry Met Sally...all the way to contemporary hits like Crazy Rich Asians, and everything in between—Falling in Love at the Movies will make you fall in love (all over again) with romantic comedies. Esther Zuckerman—accomplished entertainment journalist and member of the New York Film Critic’s Circle—takes readers on a journey through the rom-com. She examines the psychological aspects that make us so drawn to these types of films, diving deep into the key auteurs—from Preston Sturges to James L. Brooks to Nora Ephron and beyond—who both created and subverted the canon. These directors, actors, and writers shaped the genre, establishing and also busting traditional pillars and tenets of these movies such as the “Perfect Pair” or “The Man in Crisis” and “The High Maintenance Woman.” Featuring full-color images from the films throughout, along the way Zuckerman takes detours, explores iconic lines of dialogue (Who could forget Julia Roberts' “I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her” iconic moment from Notting Hill?) to memorable scenes (the magical moments at the Empire State Building in An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle) and weaves in interviews of artists and romantic comedy fanatics in the industry. Looking beyond the traditional rom-com, Zuckerman digs into the nooks and crannies, the films that buck the trend of "happily ever after," the ones that think beyond heteronormative narratives, and the indies that kept the rom-com alive outside of the studio system, to offer a more comprehensive story of the rom-com than has ever been seen before—and one that you’re bound to love. How’s that for a happy ending?

The Uncommon Reader - Alan Bennett
Alan Bennett''s classic story about Queen Elizabeth IIWhat would happen if the Queen became a reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis? The answer is a perfect story.The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely (JR Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short, her reading is subversive. The consequence is, of course, surprising, mildly shocking and very funny.

The Audubon Reader - John-James Audubon
John James Audubon (1785-1851) was for half a century America''s dominant wildlife artist. His seminal Birds of America, a collection of 435 life-size prints, is still a standard work, and the name Audubon remains synonymous with birds and bird conservation the world over. Born in Haiti, the illegitimate son of a French sea-captain, he was raised in France and sailed to America at the age of 18 where he went into business and began his study of birds. In 1819 he was briefly jailed for bankruptcy; with no other prospects, he set off on his epic quest to depict America''s avifauna, with nothing but his gun, artist''s materials, and a young assistant. Floating down the Mississippi, he lived a rugged hand-to-mouth existence while his devoted wife, Lucy, earned money as a tutor to wealthy plantation families. In 1826 he sailed with his partly finished collection to England. Lionized as the ''American woodsman'', he hit just the right Romantic note for the era, and was an overnight success, finding printers for his book first in Edinburgh, then London. It was a classic American tale of triumph over adversity.Here are vivid ''bird biographies'', his correspondence with Lucy, journal accounts of his dramatic river journeys and hunting trips with the Osage Indians, and a generous sampling of brief stories that have long been out of print, ''The Burning of the Forests'' and ''Kentucky Barbecue on the Fourth of July'' among them. The Audubon Reader is an unforgettable encounter with early America: with its wildlife and birds, with its people and its primordial wilderness.
