Read by Kathleen McInerney.Rising media star and lifestyle blogger Grace Stanton's own life gets torpedoed after she drives her cheating husband's pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool in a fit of anger.

Attending court-mandated weekly "divorce recovery" therapy sessions with a group of three other women, marital misfits whose only common denominator is betrayal, Grace and the women soon ditch their therapist and move their Wednesday "Ladies' Night" sessions to The Sandbox. They begin to help each other, walking a fine line between revenge and justice, as each one finds closure in ways previously unimagined. Can Grace figure out a new way home and how strong she needs to be to get there? Told with Mary Kay Andrews's unique blend of humor, heart, and unpredictable plot twists, Ladies' Night will have you raising a glass and cheering these characters on.

Art lab for little kids : 52 playful projects for preschoolers! / by Schwake, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)398505;

Setting the Stage for Making Art -- Basic Skills for Little Ones -- Drawing -- Painting -- Printmaking -- Sculpture -- Mixed Media."Developed for the younger set (4-6 year olds) and targeting one of the most critical developmental periods for children, Art Lab for Little Kids is the perfect book for both parents and teachers who are seeking enriching and unique experiences to offer this age group.As in Susan Schwake's first book, Art Lab for Kids (Quarry Books, 2012), the Labs can be used as singular projects, or used to build up to a year of hands-on fine art experiences. Each Lab also features the work of a prominent artist for inspiration. The book begins with an introduction on materials and setting up a space for making art. The lessons that follow are open-ended to be explored over and over - with different results each time. They are geared for children being taught or guided by adults and are successful on all levels of experience and age. They do not result in "cookie cutter" end products, but are a method of learning something new each time they are used.This motivational book stands out as a unique reference for creating fine art with children through finding the student's own voice, marks and style and with playful lessons that result in significant skill building. Gorgeous photography shows different results from different people using the same lesson, exemplifying the way the lesson brings out each artist's personal style. Art Lab for Little Kids is a fresh source of creative activities for families and community groups or will work as lesson plans for both experienced and new art teachers in home school, preschool, and kindergarten environments"--

Toulouse-Lautrec and the stars of Paris / by Burnham, Helen,1974-author.(CARDINAL)834879; Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de,1864-1901.Works.Selections.(CARDINAL)833551; Chapin, Mary Weaver,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)272829; Wendel, Joanna,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)833751; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,host institution,organizer.(CARDINAL)141870; Boston Public Library,organizer.(CARDINAL)146678;

Includes bibliographical references (page 108).Toulouse-Lautrec and the Stars of Paris offers a guided tour of fin-de-siècle Paris at night, bringing a group of its legendary protagonists to life. The six performers at the center of this book--Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, Aristide Bruant, Marcelle Lender, May Belfort and Loïe Fuller--were all depicted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and in some ways defined by his iconic renderings. Actors and actresses, comedians, cabaret singers and dancers, these figures were the stars of the new entertainments of 19th-century Paris. This booming nightlife scene coincided with new developments in modern printmaking. Lautrec immortalized the performances and personas of the city's entertainers in colorful lithographs, elevating the advertising poster to the status of high art. Artist and performer collaborated to exploit a new culture of entertainment and mass media, creating a new kind of celebrity in the process. Lavishly illustrated with high-quality, full-color reproductions of Lautrec's iconic images alongside some of his rarely seen sketches, and illuminated by insightful essays, this volume shines a spotlight on the stars of the Paris stage, the birth of modern celebrity culture and the brilliance of the artist who gave them enduring life. Exhibition: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA (07.04.-04.08.2019).

Bonnard to Vuillard : the intimate poetry of everyday life : the Nabi collection of Vicki and Roger Sant / by Smithgall, Elsa,editor,author.(CARDINAL)334690; Kosinski, Dorothy M.,contributor,interviewer.(CARDINAL)197034; Sant, Vicki,interviewee.(CARDINAL)817891; Sant, Roger W.,interviewee.(CARDINAL)817890; Kuenzli, Katherine M.(Katherine Marie),1972-author.(CARDINAL)817889; Dessy, Clément,author.(CARDINAL)817888; Bertalan, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)557768; Cahn, Isabelle,contributor.(CARDINAL)224482; Phillips Collection,issuing body,publisher,organizer,host institution.(CARDINAL)140837; Rizzoli editore,publisher.(CARDINAL)784753;

"Inspired by Paul Gauguin in the last decade of the nineteenth century, the Nabi painters saw themselves as prophets of a new art. While stylistically diverse, the group's members, including Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard as well as Maurice Denis, Félix, Vallotton, Aristide Maillol, Ker-Xavier Roussel, and Paul Ranson, shared a belief in art's intimate connection to everyday life. They worked across disciplines and media, experimenting with painting, ceramics, stained glass, textiles, theatrical sets and costumes, and more to break down the artificial barriers between the fine and decorative arts. The Nabis were also prolific printmakers, and their lithographs, poster designs, book illustrations, theater programs, and contributions to the literary journals, or 'little reviews,' that proliferated in Paris at the fin de siècle were a major part of their practice. This vibrantly illustrated book showcases rarely seen paintings, prints, and works of decorative art by these visionary artists, all from the holdings of Vicki and Roger Sant, dedicated collectors with a keen eye for exquisite examples of the Nabi aesthetic. Using the Sants' collection as a spring-board, leading scholars of European modernism have contributed texts exploring the relationship between Nabi art and intimacy, the role of the Nabi movement in formulating modernist art theory, the influence of Symbolist poetry and literature, and the Nabis' innovative printmaking techniques. Delving deep into their artistic philosophies, collaborations, and creative methods, the book offers rich insights into a transformative period in the international artistic avant-garde at the turn of the century. An extensive illustrated chronology recounts the overlapping lives and careers of the Nabis and their literary, artistic, and social contemporaries in Paris and beyond. This important and beautiful volume significantly enriches the understanding the Nabis' lasting contribution to the history of modern art."Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-249) and index.

I know how she does it : how successful women make the most of their time / by Vanderkam, Laura,author.(CARDINAL)462974;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-297) and index.٢Having it all٣ has become the subject of countless books, articles, debates, and social media commentary, with passions running high in all directions. Many now believe this to be gospel truth: Any woman who wants to advance in a challenging career has to make huge sacrifices. She's unlikely to have a happy marriage, quality time with her kids (assuming she can have kids at all), a social life, hobbies, or even a decent night's sleep. But what if balancing work and family is actually not as hard as it's made out to be? What if all those tragic anecdotes ignore the women who quietly but consistently do just fine with the juggle? Instead of relying on scattered stories, time management expert Laura Vanderkam set out to add hard data to the debate. She collected hour-by-hour time logs from 1,001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year. And she found some surprising patterns in how these women spend the 168 hours that every one of us has each week. Overall, these women worked less and slept more than they assumed they did before they started tracking their time. They went jogging or to the gym, played with their children, scheduled date nights with their significant others, and had lunches with friends. They made time for the things that gave them pleasure and meaning, fitting the pieces together like tiles in a mosaic-without adhering to overly rigid schedules that would eliminate flexibility and spontaneity. Vanderkam shares specific strategies that her subjects use to make time for the things that really matter to them. For instance, they work split shifts (such as seven hours at work, four off, then another two at night from home). This allows them to see their kids without falling behind professionally. Get creative about what counts as quality family time. Breakfasts together and morning story time count as much as daily family dinners,and they're often easier to manage. Take it easy on the housework. You can free up a lot of time by embracing the philosophy of ٢good enough٣ and getting help from other members of your household (or a cleaning service). Guard their leisure time. Full weekend getaways may be rare, but many satisfying hobbies can be done in small bursts of time. An hour of crafting feels better than an hour of reality TV. With examples from hundreds of real women, Vanderkam proves that you don't have to give up on the things you really want. I Know How She Does It will inspire you to build a life that works, one hour at a time.

Director of photography, Hichame Alaouie.Andre Dussollier, Sophie Marceau, Charlotte Rampling.When André suffers a debilitating stroke and calls on his daughter Emmanüle to help him die with dignity, she finds herself faced with a painful decision. Based on Emmanuéle Bernheim's memoir and an Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival, the film's matter-of-factness elicits moments of humor that renders an otherwise weighty topic accessible. Steering clear of the moral arguments such issues often raise, the film instead focuses on the reckoning Emmanuéle has with her stubborn and unrelenting father and how to help him, with Ozon tackling a difficult subject with exceptional intelligence and sensitivity. Featuring stunning central performances by Marceau and Dussollier as well as a scene-stealing cameo by Charlotte Rampling as André's ex-wife.DVD, region 1, NTSC, wide screen (1.85:1, 16x9); Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.
