After a long and exhausting day finding a way to unwind becomes essential. People turn to many activities for relaxation but one of the simplest and most effective methods is reading. E-books provide an accessible and convenient way to escape into different worlds or learn something new while giving your mind a chance to recharge. Z-library is your everyday online library offering a vast selection of e-books to help you achieve just that.
A Quick Escape from Reality
Reading e-books allows you to leave the stresses of daily life behind for a while.

The flexibility of reading on an e-reader or any digital device means you can relax without the hassle of carrying a physical book around. E-books give you the freedom to read anywhere at any time.
Less Eye Strain for More Comfort
Many people worry that reading e-books might cause eye strain but most modern devices have features designed to keep reading easy on your eyes. Adjustable fonts, backlit screens and even options for night mode let you find the best setting for your comfort. This makes it easier to read for longer periods without feeling fatigued.

Another advantage is the sheer variety available. With an e-library like Z library you have access to genres ranging from fiction and science to history and art.

Back to our books…this book was recommended to me and it looked too good not to post. The Aftermath by Gail Schimmel is this week’s choice. Here is the story:
Three women: a mother, a daughter, a friend. Can they save each other from the past?
It’s been twenty-six years since the accident, but Helen still lives on autopilot, going through the motions of work and motherhood. Her one wish is for her daughter Julia to settle down with her own family―so Helen can let go.
Julia has dealt with her mother’s emotional distance by looking for love in all the wrong places. But when her latest choice drives away her best friend, Claire, Julia realizes she’s on her own.
Impossibly perfect Claire is so busy caring for everyone―even her cheating ex-husband―that she’s forgotten to look after herself. Reeling from Julia’s betrayal, she doesn’t know who to trust.
As their lives unravel, these three women reconnect in unexpected ways. But with a devastating secret still hanging over them, will they ever be able to leave the past behind? – Amazon.com

I thought last week’s book was going to be the holiday best-seller until this past Saturday. I was in New Caanan and stopped into the local book store and right in the window was this week’s book club choice. THIS book is going to be one of the MUST have gifts of 2021…..Renegades Born in the USA
CHECK IT OUT….
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two longtime friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music, and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly produced expansion of their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material.
Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country’s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-color photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders—one Black and one white—looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes:
• Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen
• Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions
• Obama’s never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his “Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches”
• Springsteen’s handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career
• Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors’ personal archives
• Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation
In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favorite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for—and the occasional toll of—telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how our fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity and global leadership – Amazon.com

The Next Book on my list is Don’t Hate the Player by Alexis Nedd. At first, it seems for a younger crowd but then I really enjoyed reading it with my daughters and discussing it together. We really have not been able to do that before and since it has a sports setting, I think a lot of you will find it really entertaining:
“Refreshingly voice-y, wildly smart, and genuinely hilarious.” – Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue
From an exciting new voice comes a funny and heartfelt YA romance set in the world of competitive gaming, perfect for fans of Opposite of Always and Slay.
Emilia Romero is living a double life. By day, she’s a field hockey star with a flawless report card. But by night, she’s kicking virtual ass as the only female member of a highly competitive eSports team. Emilia has mastered the art of keeping her two worlds thriving, which hinges on them staying completely separate. That’s in part to keep her real-life persona, but also for her own safety, since girl gamers are often threatened and harassed.
When a major eSports tournament comes to her city, Emilia is determined to prove herself to her team and the male-dominated gaming community. But her perfectly balanced life is thrown for a loop when a member of a rival team recognizes her . . .
Jake Hooper has had a crush on Emilia since he was ten years old. When his underdog eSports team makes it into the tournament, he’s floored to discover she’s been leading a double life. The fates bring Jake and Emilia together as they work to keep her secret, even as the pressures of the tournament and their non-gaming world threaten to pull everything apart.
Debut author Alexis Nedd has crafted a YA combo-punch of charming romance and virtual adventure that will win the hearts of gamers and non-gamers alike. – Amazon.com

“There could only be a few winners, and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones.”
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant–and that her lover is married–she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son’s powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan’s finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee’s complex and passionate characters–strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis–survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history. – Amazon.com
