An invitation to join The Fifth Avenue Story Society gives five New York strangers a chance to rewrite their own stories.

Executive assistant Lexa is eager for a much-deserved promotion, but her boss is determined to keep her underemployed.

When all five New Yorkers receive an anonymous, mysterious invitation to the Fifth Avenue Story Society, they suspect they're victims of a practical joke. No one knows who sent the invitations or why. No one has heard of the literary society. And no one is prepared to reveal their deepest secrets to a roomful of strangers.

Yet curiosity and loneliness bring them back week after week to the old library. And it's there they discover the stories of their hearts, and the kind of friendship and love that heals their souls.

"One of the best signs of an awesome book is when you can't stop thinking about it when you're not reading . . . and when you just. can't. wait. to get back to it That was absolutely the case with Rachel Hauck's latest, The Fifth Avenue Story Society. The set-up--a group of strangers all mysteriously invited to join a story society at a historic library--was both charming and intriguing. All five main characters were well-rounded and relatable with heart-tugging--and in some cases, heartbreaking--backstories. I loved watching them grow as a group and as individuals as they developed deep bonds, found freedom from their pasts, and discovered new hope for their futures. Another winner from one of my auth

LZXLUKGIR 3 Colors Face Body Paint - Easy to Use
Color: Blue+Black+Red
These LZXLUKGIR 3 Colors Face Body Paints are easy to use, wash off easily in warm, soapy water, and are non-irritating and non-staining. The blue is quite vivid, and the black & red are nice shades as well. A good value, I would order these paints again; five stars from me. I like the tubes; they are nice and portable/less mess.

Good but smears easily( smearing is solvable!)
Color: Blue+White+Red, Color: Blue+White+Red
It’s pretty good but it smears super easily, but if you put face powder on the face paint, it would smear as badly. Me and my cousin wore this face paint to the Katy Perry concert for our “hot” and “cold” costume.

Works!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We’ve tried every “gentle★★★★★ Finally, something that actually works for my nephews eczema. We’ve tried every “gentle,” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept our little one’s cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red. This moisturizer is the first one that calms everything down within a day or two and actually keeps the eczema under control if we use it morning and night. It goes on thick but absorbs nicely, no greasy film, and most importantly, it doesn’t sting or make him cry when we put it on broken skin. Within a week the rough patches softened, the redness faded, and he stopped scratching himself raw at night. We’ve been using it for almost three months now and the flare-ups are rare and mild when they do happen. Smells like almost nothing (huge plus), no fragrance to irritate him. A little goes a long way, so the tub is lasting forever. I wish we’d found this sooner; it’s been a total game-changer for bath time and bedtime peace. 100% five stars and I recommend it to every parent I know who’s struggling with baby eczema.” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept my nephews cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red.
