Popular Culture Association Ray and Pat Browne Award for the Best Reference/Primary Source Work in Popular and American Culture, First Runner-Up, 2019 Combining a cineaste's encyclopedic knowledge of film with a child's sense of wonder, Jim Ridley wrote about movies in a way few others can. He reveled in the joy and mischief of cinema, dwelled on its beauty and violence, and navigated the full breadth of its mythology with clarity and enduring curiosity that earned him the respect of critics around the country. At the time of his unexpected death in 2016, Ridley was editor-in-chief of the alt-weekly Nashville Scene, the paper where his incisive, wide-ranging film reviews won him a devoted readership beginning in 1989. People Only Die of Love in Movies takes its title from a line in the 1964 movie musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the subject of one of Ridley's best-known pieces, included in this volume. In all, the anthology collects nearly one hundred of Ridley's film reviews, essays, and journalistic works, expertly organized by editor Steve Haruch into writing by film genre (e.g., Westerns, the Nouvelle Vague), cinematic theme (e.g., heroes, sexuality), and writing style (e.g., negative reviews, narrative journalism) to demonstrate Ridley's range. People Only Die of Love in Movies invites its readers to revisit favorite films, discover new loves, and immerse themselves in the unparalleled writing of a discerning and knowledgeable critic.Binding Type: Hardcover

A Helpful Map for First-Time Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I picked up this book because I wanted to learn what “astral projection” really means. The author writes in clear steps that I can follow like relax your body, calm your mind, picture a gentle rope, and imagine climbing out. The ideas sound strange at first, but the explanations make them feel safe.
The “what if” chapter answers simple questions like, What if I get scared? How do I get back? The author says you can return any time by thinking about your body, which makes me feel less nervous. I also liked the short stories about other people’s trips which they show that each experience is different.
I haven’t left my body yet, but I have felt a light floaty feeling while practicing the breathing exercise. That small success keeps me excited to try again.

A Guiding Light for Aspiring Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I've been fascinated by astral travel since I was a young man—back in my day, we called it Transcendental Meditation—and I've tried countless methods, only to doze off! However, Astral Projection for Beginners: Guide to Mastering Astral Travel & Out-Of-Body Experiences for Optimal Living by Sophia Grace has truly rekindled my interest. This book presents a wealth of practical advice and easy-to-follow techniques that make the mysterious art of astral projection seem possible and achievable.
Sophia Grace skillfully breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, accessible steps, allowing even sceptics like me to understand the process without getting lost in technical jargon. The author also delves into the benefits of exploring life beyond our physical realm, emphasising the power of positive thought and disciplined meditation. While I still fall asleep sometimes, the book's clear guidance and refreshing perspective give me renewed hope—and plenty of reasons to keep trying. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual explorer or a curious beginner, this guide is a fantastic resource. If nothing else, it's a great way to drift off into a peaceful slumber!

I bought this for a friend and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such a fun book! I’m definitely going to be borrowing it from her to make some of the recipes. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes don’t look overly complicated.
