"Cast: 1m., 1w. (May be expanded up to 14m., 11w.) Maybe Baby, It's You is a comedy about the search for that most elusive of entities, the soul mate, and told in a series of 11 vignettes that cover ground from the first kiss to the not-so-golden years of marriage. We take a raucous ride through male-female relationships with two searchers with a laundry list of must-have qualities for a mate that swiftly dwindles down to "warm and breathing" as the only prerequisite; a mild-mannered Midwesterner whose blind date turns out to be the Greek goddess Medea; a film noir couple who realize that their razor-sharp banter is hiding their fear and vulnerability; a gorgeous, charming brain surgeon who is always "Mr. Wrong" due to his penchant for spastic, arrhythmic club dancing; a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary who realize that marriage may not have ended their search for a soul mate; an elderly divorced couple who entertain the fantasy of a reconciliation at their grandson's soccer game; and other would-be and shouldn't-be couples trying to find each other. Maybe Baby, It's You. Or maybe ... it isn't. Simple set. Approximate running time: 90 minutes."--Publisher's website.

Reagan Bellamy’s neighbor is everything she never wanted. Despite her best efforts to ignore him and fly under his radar, Dash Carter refuses to wither under her stare and leave her alone. So what if he’s totally hot? Who cares if her roommates think he’s adorable? Reagan’s too busy to waste time on a loser with musical pipe dreams. Between classes, studies, and her need to stay ahead of the game, she’s got too much on her plate to give him the time of day. Dash Carter is a man on a mission. He’s done a total 180 and for the first time in a long time feels optimistic about the future. He’s clean, he’s on a good path, and he’s surrounded himself with people who make life better, not worse. Unfortunately, his neighbor—the one girl who’s always piqued his interest—still thinks he’s a slacker, bothering Dash more than it should. Acting on an opportunity to show Reagan he’s a changed man, Dash inadvertently puts her in a difficult position with her new boss and sends her down a path she hasn’t the time or inclination to pursue. Desperate to make things right, Dash becomes more invested in her life despite warnings from his mentor to not get involved with someone whose beliefs don’t match his own. Reagan’s not sure what it says about her that she’d rather deal with Dash the deadbeat than Dash the Bible thumper. The more she digs her heels in against the religious freaks she’s forced to interact with, the more she begins to question everything she’s built her life upon. When the tide begins to turn in Reagan’s heart and her worldview flips upside down, trusting God means putting everything on the line, including her heart.

What if you could have everything you ever wanted...but only for one night? Ellen's not looking for love. And if she were, it sure as hell wouldn’t be in tiny, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Fairfield, Indiana. But when a summer rainstorm and her car (that’s admittedly seen better days) conspire against her, sexy bookstore owner Sam is there to help her out. And ruin all of her plans. Too bad she’ll be gone by morning. Unless he can convince her otherwise. Unless he can convince her their obvious incompatibilities aren’t so incompatible after all. She doesn't think he can do it—after all she's got a life behind her and dreams ahead, and Fairfield isn’t even a blip on her radar. But she's happy to let him try.

A 2020 ALA Notable Children’s Book A Washington Post Best Children’s Book of 2019 Barbara Dee explores the subject of #MeToo for the middle grade audience in this heart-wrenching—and ultimately uplifting—novel about experiencing harassment and unwanted attention from classmates. For seventh-grader Mila, it starts with some boys giving her an unwanted hug on the school blacktop. A few days later, at recess, one of the boys (and fellow trumpet player) Callum tells Mila it’s his birthday, and asks her for a “birthday hug.” He’s just being friendly, isn’t he? And how can she say no? But Callum’s hug lasts a few seconds too long, and feels…weird. According to her friend, Zara, Mila is being immature and overreacting. Doesn’t she know what flirting looks like? But the boys don’t leave Mila alone. On the bus. In the halls. During band practice—the one place Mila could always escape. It doesn’t feel like flirting—so what is it? Thanks to a chance meeting, Mila begins to find solace in a new place: karate class. Slowly, with the help of a fellow classmate, Mila learns how to stand her ground and how to respect others—and herself. From the author of Everything I Know About You, Halfway Normal, and Star-Crossed comes this timely story of a middle school girl standing up and finding her voice.”

The writing of this book goes back some 14 years ago, reading a book, Out Of The Garden - Toys and Children's Culture In to The Age Of TV Marketing, By Stephen Kline. This would show how through Children programming, its popular culture, advertisers, and marketers, through market strategy get us to buy their products. I knew from the beginning that it would be a hard sell, to try and give you a heads up, into how we all be doped, coned, persuaded into wanting you to know how this happened, and played a big part in everyone life, at any given age or generation you were part of. As I put it, "When you were born, your story begins!" We all know the news event of each decade and the popular Movies and music. But did you have any ideas how we all (each decade) unfolds, how our spending habits came to be, what were the influences, how you drove your parents crazy into buying what you wanted. And your parent themselves, and buy public itself, into buying their next purchase. I hope you can see the pattern. You and I, are so different, but I'm sure very much the same, we just have our own story to tell.
