Josiah's ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isn't ready to let him. She's got a plan: What if -- instead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hut -- they went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl he's been mooning over for three years ... What if their last shift was an adventure?

The people in it feel like people you know or maybe even people you've been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic&#8212;Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times."     &#8212; Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow   Shiloh Butler was supposed to get out of north Omaha.  She used to sit out on the front porch with her best friend, Cary, and plot their escape. Shiloh was going to be an actress &#8211; she had a scholarship to a good school &#8211; and Cary was laser-focused on the Navy. Sharp, stoic, golden-eyed Cary . . . thin as a stick of gum and poor as dirt. He was probably the most decent person Shiloh has ever known. She hasn't spoken to him in fourteen years.  When Shiloh gets an invitation to a high school friend's wedding, Cary is the first and only thing on her mind.  She desperately wants to see him again, but she doesn't know if she can bear being seen by him. What would Cary think of Shiloh at thirty-three? A divorced mom living in the same house she grew up in. Someone who works behind a desk, not onstage.  Would Cary even want to see Shiloh after all this time? After everything?  The answer, it turns out, is yes.  In her triumphant return to adult fiction, Rainbow Rowell has written a love story so honest and human &#8211; so cathartic &#8211; you'll feel it in your bones. Slow Dance is a power ballad of a book, brimming with Rowell's signature compassion and wit. It's deeply affecting and profoundly romantic.]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1078417</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1078417</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1078417051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063380219/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fangirl]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everything in Cath's offline life is going wrong.

Morton's exceptional talent shines as he modulates between European and American accents and seamlessly shifts tones to bring each distinct character to life...Full of intense passion, this conclusion should not be missed." - AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows . In Carry On , Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son , they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows , Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages &#8212; and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough . Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This audiobook is a finale . It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. Carry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us. A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books Praise for Euan Mortan reading Rainbow Rowell: "[Euan] Morton brings distinct voices and emotions to every character...Listeners will be hard-pressed to believe they aren't listening to a full-cast production." - AudioFile Magazine on Wayward Son (Earphones Award winner) "There's something spellbinding about Euan Morton's voice, which is only appropriate for this novel set in magical England...As the story builds, there are plenty of moments of intrigue and romance that will have listeners catching their breath. Through it all, Morton stays in perfect, sympathetic step." - AudioFile Magazine on Carry On (Earphones Award winner) "Scottish actor Euan Morton narrates and does a stunning job, especially with the complex characters of Simon and Baz...An essential purchase for fans of Harry Potter and Rainbow Rowell, as well as lovers of fantasy." - School Library Journal on Carry On (starred review)]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1068974</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1068974</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1068974051</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Simon Snow Trilogy Series, Book 3</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250803122/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wayward Son]]></title><description><![CDATA[**One of AudioFile Magazine' s Best Audiobooks of 2019** "[Euan] Morton brings distinct voices and emotions to every character...Listeners will be hard-pressed to believe they aren't listening to a full-cast production." &#8212; AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after... So why can't Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light... That's how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place... With Wayward Son , Rainbow Rowell has delivered an audiobook for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And an audiobook for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It's another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter.

Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here&#8212;it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up. Carry On is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1068597</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1068597</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1068597051</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781427262035/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fangirl]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl , Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life&mdash;and she&rsquo;s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it&rsquo;s what got them through their mother leaving. Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere. Cath&rsquo;s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can&rsquo;t let go. She doesn&rsquo;t want to. Now that they&rsquo;re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn&rsquo;t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She&rsquo;s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can&rsquo;t stop worrying about her dad, who&rsquo;s loving and fragile and has never really been alone. For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories? Open her heart to someone? Or will she just go on living inside somebody else&rsquo;s fiction?]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1066777</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1066777</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1066777051</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attachments]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the award-winning, #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  Slow Dance ,  Wayward Son ,  Fangirl ,  Carry On , and  Landline  comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about an office romance that blossoms one email at a time....

The people in it feel like people you know or maybe even people you've been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic&#8212;Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times." andamp;#8212; Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Shiloh Butler was supposed to get out of north Omaha. She used to sit out on the front porch with her best friend, Cary, and plot their escape. Shiloh was going to be an actress andamp;#8211; she had a scholarship to a good school andamp;#8211; and Cary was laser-focused on the Navy. Sharp, stoic, golden-eyed Cary . . . thin as a stick of gum and poor as dirt. He was probably the most decent person Shiloh has ever known. She hasn't spoken to him in fourteen years. When Shiloh gets an invitation to a high school friend's wedding, Cary is the first and only thing on her mind. She desperately wants to see him again, but she doesn't know if she can bear being seen by him. What would Cary think of Shiloh at thirty-three? A divorced mom living in the same house she grew up inches Someone who works behind a desk, not onstage. Would Cary even want to see Shiloh after all this time? After everything? The answer, it turns out, is yes. In her triumphant return to adult fiction, Rainbow Rowell has written a love story so honest and human andamp;#8211; so cathartic andamp;#8211; you'll feel it in your bones. Slow Dance is as sharp and compassionate as you'd expect from Rowell. Deeply, profoundly romantic, it's a power ballad of a book.]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1065282</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1065282</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1065282051</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063380226/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scattered Showers]]></title><description><![CDATA[A collection of nine stories about love and life featuring best friends, princes, trolls, imaginary boys, and Simon Snow.]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1010402</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1010402</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1010402051</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250855411/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
