St. Brown officially entered the Lions’ record books in the season finale, setting the record for most receiving yards by a rookie. He took his phenomenal finish to the season to another level, catching eight or more passes in a sixth consecutive game.
He finished with 109 yards on eight catches, scoring a touchdown on a fourth-and-goal conversion when Jared Goff hit him from two yards out. The USC product is looking more and more like a steal as he finishes his first season as a pro
Just curious which titles everyone comes across while browsing for secondhand books. Dan Brown novels in general can be found there, but Angels and Demons in particular seems available anywhere books are sold for a dollar, at least in my area.
I also regularly see copies of The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, everything by James Patterson, mystery novels by Jeffrey Deaver, Dean Koontz, and John Grisham galore.
I was just reading on the DWTS subreddit that Hannah wrote in her book about her time on the show, her partnership with Alan, and how their win was basically “meaningless”. (EDIT: it wasn’t “meaningless”, rather she felt “empty”)
Can anyone confirm or deny this? Any details about what she wrote?
Some years ago, definitely before 2017 I used to use my mother's phone to read novels on google play. The book had a teenage/young adult girl with a blue eye and brown eye they lived in some kind of city where the authority people would come and take kids every few years (kind of like hunger games but not for killing). The girl goes to the camp like place and learns a skill based on her talent in her case woodwork, and she falls in love with another fellow guy, there is also a big garden like place where she likes to go. They escape the place I think along with some other friends and try to survive in the harsh weather. The girl somehow gets pregnant and the novel ends with them trying to build a house because winter is coming and she is thinking what to name her child and decides on calling it leech. I have tried googling it but other books come up with the same name and I don't have that email on which I read it first. The first part of the series which I think is called The Wall was free on google play and the rest were paid. I don't remember anything about the author or the names of the characters. Please help me find it.
I heard Hannah said some not so great things about Alan in her book. Does anyone know what was written?

Last year, I tried to pick up reading again so I bought some of Dan Brown’s books just to try. Had a ton of fun reading them and are looking for more. Any books or authors that are similar to his style and topic?
I'm currently in the long, long process of working towards fluency in a new language (specifically, Norwegian). And I have to say, Dan Brown's simple language and straightforwards structuring is much appreciated. There are no poetic flares, no intricate conversations with complex, subtle dynamics, no obscure sentence constructions. I can read without feeling like half of everything goes over my head.
So there's a tip for all of you people learning a new language. Get your hands on some Dan Brown books before reading something more elaborate, they're great!
Dying earth comes to mind, but if there's something better i'd love to hear it.
I was looking at the standings, and while I still think this team has a lot of things against them, I think we can still make the playoffs. There’s no team on the outside looking in that particularly scares me. While I still am still concerned with our inconsistency on the defensive side and our QB situation with Baker probably never being 100% until probably next season, I think this team can win enough games to hold on to a wild card spot. How’s everyone else feeling at this moment?
I’m trying to find a book I was red in year 6 or primary school in the UK.
the book was all about his weird creature like man thing who was extremely tall and was everywhere this boy went, to book is set in all different places and this thing is always there looking for this boy. I can remember one part clearly. The middle of a supermarket and the boy thinks he spots this ’thing’ he then spends the next part hiding and constantly moving away from it. I know this I really vague but i really want to find this book. I was read it in 2017, and the book seemed to be for older kids around ages 11+. Let me know I can provide anymore details about it! The book also begins with the word ‘the’ . There is also part of it set in I believe an ice cream factory.
How I got here:
I have desperately attempted to make many places in the Rocky Mountains fit Fenn’s poem over the years, contorting every word he ever uttered. I know what it feels like to try to force a location to fit 'perfectly' and ignore any contrary evidence. I let my 'confirmation bias' run rampant in a location in a wrong state before Jack found it, and in Wyoming afterwards. Then one day, at a solve location I was considering, I had an epiphany of what the book hints were. This epiphany was not connected to the solve location I was at, or any former solves, I just suddenly saw a consistent pattern. I hadn’t the slightest idea where the hints were pointing to, but I knew they didn’t fit with any place I had previously considered. Finally, I had to take the advice that Fenn had been begging people to heed for ten years, I let the book hints define the poem and tell me where the treasure had been. The only location I found that appeared to fit the hints and clues happened to be in the one place I really didn’t want the chest to have been, Yellowstone National Park. I considered YS a legal nightmare and avoided it completely (aside from seeing unavoidable Madison/Firehole solves). I think putting this solve together blind from the forums discussing this location, and without prior biases, helped me stick purely to the clues and the hints.
Please do not pass judgement until you have read the entire solve and see how everything works together to confirm the location. Apologies for the length of this post, I've tried to stick to only the most important evidence. And of course, I reserve the right to be wrong.
Fenn's advice on the chase:
+ On how to solve the poem: “Read the book. And then study the poem… And then go back and read the book again looking for hints that are in the book that are going to help you with the clues that are in the poem… you have to learn where the first clue is. They get progressively easier after you discover where the first clue is.”
+ On the number of hints: “There are nine clues in the poem but if you read the book, uh, there are a couple. There are a couple of good hints, and then there are a couple of aberrations that live out on the edge.” (~4 clues in the book)
+ Possible slip up: “Well, there are nine clues in my poem and one is in my book.”
- Hints in the book help with the clues in the poem. But here Fenn may have let it slip that there are nine clues in the poem and one of those c
now that she's apparently a "new friend of the pod" (according to one of the last trial episodes, unless that was a joke) has anyone read it? if so, any good?
Title pretty much asks the question. I’ve been wanting to read (at least) one of her books- so, for people who have read multiple books authored by Brene Brown, do you think it makes more sense to go in “chronological order,” (by publication date)— or whether or not that matters? Do her more recently written/published books tend to build much upon earlier works, concepts, references, etc? — or, would you recommend a more recent book of hers that might be the most worth reading if I was only going to read one? (And if you could let me know why you would recommend any 1 book over others, that would be awesome). Thanks in advance!
To start, I'm actually trying to make this a learning experience for me.
I'm a huge movie critic and only can name a few which I think are extremely well done.
As far as books, I'm not as big a reader, but I did read Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code and I really enjoyed them.
What is it about Dan Brown that people dislike so much?
I think the book served as an excellent suspense novel. Not every book will have beautiful prose and amazing character development. (If I remember correctly, the protagonist of most of all Dan Browns books reoccurs, so his growth wouldn't be seen in just one book, nor is it the focus of that one book)
And as a quick disclaimer, I read the books a long time ago, and don't remember them word for word. I'm not defending him as a good author, I'm just trying to figure out what makes an author good. Especially when the point of the book isn't going to always check off a bunch of boxes (Prose, development, strong lead...)
Thank you anyone who can provide some insight!

I am an award winning investigative journalist with the Miami Herald. My pursuit of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking story re-opened the case ten years after Epstein’s sweetheart deal with then District Attorney Secretary Alex Acosta, resulting in the federal indictments of Epstein and the resignation of Acosta from his post as Labor Secretary under President Trump. Perversion of Justice is an account of my pursuit of one of the most explosive news stories of the decade. Tracing Epstein’s beginnings from a shy chubby teenager to one of the most successful financiers in the country—whose associates included Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton—the book builds on my award-winning series in the Miami Herald, adding previously unreported context and shocking new allegations.
