The Day Tripper / Hoopla Digital.

AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH PICK FOR LITERATURE AND FICTION 'The Day Tripper is absolutely astonishing, from first page to last. Warm, clever, hopeful, and superbly written. James Goodhand is a brilliant storyteller at the top of his game. I adored it.' - Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle It's 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a place at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next day to find he's in a messy, derelict room he's never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn't recognise. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he's older-much older-his features ravaged by time and poor decisions. It's 2010-fifteen years since the fight. After finally managing to sleep, Alex wakes the following morning to find it's now 2019, another nine years later. But the next day, it's 1999. Never knowing which day is coming, he begins to piece together what happens in his life after that fateful night. But what exactly is going on? Why does his life look nothing like he thought it would? What about Cambridge, and Holly? In this page-turning adventure, Alex must navigate his way through the years to learn that good decisions can have untold impact. And that might be all he needs to save the people he loves and, equally importantly, himself.

The Fireman and the Flirt : Single Dads Club / Hoopla Digital.

Is it in bad taste to sleep with a client? Asking for a friend... In high school, Derek ruled the school with his fellow hockey players, while I fantasized from afar. He only knew me as his little brother's shy friend who, thanks to one vicious rumor from a former flame, had garnered a reputation as the school freak. Twenty years later, I'm a successful real estate agent who's put my embarrassing past behind me and smartly stayed away from love. I have things under control...until Derek suddenly returns to Sourwood sans wedding ring, and in dire need of a house for him and his daughter. Clinching this sale will cement my hard-earned status as a top agent and distance me from my embarrassing past. If only I can stop shamelessly flirting with my new client. If only I can stop dreaming about him bending me over newly updated marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Old habits die hard. Soon though, my fantasy version of Derek fades away as I learn the truth about his return. Maybe I can get him to no longer see me as his little brother's weird friend. Maybe he can get me to let down my guard and trust a guy again. Or maybe those dreams are as unrealistic as the housing budget for a couple on House Hunters. The Fireman and the Flirt is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone. It will give you all the brother's best friend, businessman/client, nerd/jock vibes you can handle without charging a commission.

The Genius of Empathy : Practical Skills to Heal Your Sensitive Self, Your Relationships, and the World / Hoopla Digital.

Ignite empathy as a superpower for transformative personal healing, deeper relationships, and more potent work in the world. Empathy is so much more than feeling deeply-it holds transformative power to heal ourselves, strengthen our relationships, and amplify our purpose. Dr. Judith Orloff, known for landmark works like "The Empath's Survival Guide", introduces empathy as a daily healing practice and form of emotional intelligence. It is not only for highly sensitive people but for all deep feelers and those who want to develop empathy as a new skill. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, psychology, and energy medicine, Dr. Orloff shows us how to access our sensitivities, soothe our nervous system, and stop absorbing the emotions of others. She begins with the magic of empathy to find greater self-love and healing-including from trauma. Subsequent chapters apply empathy to our relationships, communities, and the world. Exploring each chapter's practices, you'll learn the art of empathic listening, how to stop overthinking, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries and loving detachment to prevent overwhelm, burnout, and more. This practical, action-driven guide helps us connect our minds and hearts to embody our most authentic, fierce, and compassionate selves. "Cultivating empathy is a kind of peaceful warrior training," says Dr. Orloff. "You will learn to be both strong and loving, neither a pushover nor rigid. Wherever you are in your life, this book can meet you there and lift you higher."
