Make your “old” laptop fast again by Ina Norde

Read this book before buying a new computer.

Are you tired of replacing Windows computers every several years because they become too slow? Then this book is for you. Install Linux Mint 20.2 and try it instead of buying a new computer.

Are you a regular non-technical Windows home user? This book is simple for everyone and is written for home users who may not be familiar with technical tasks.

Your computer is just a few years old and Windows 11 will not even work on it? Under Linux Mint there will be no restriction on how long you can keep using your laptop.

Linux Mint is a fast, secure, and reliable operating system. It is a free, simple to use, and great alternative for regular home users even not familiar with Linux.

You do not need to be afraid of Linux Mint even if you never heard of it. You will find some simple explanations to demonstrate why Linux Mint is no more complicated than Windows these days. You can try Linux Mint and see it for yourself rather than listen to the myths that Linux is only for technical gurus.

In this book you will find:
• Simple plan how to back up your Windows computer if you have not done it before. Just in case.
• How to download and make Linux Mint installation USB.
• How to install Linux Mint with simple explanations of different options and screenshots for all steps.
• You even can keep Windows operational. You will be able to start Linux Mint or Windows.
• Simple explanations on relevant technical aspects during the installation.
• A few post-installation tasks to start your Linux Mint journey easier.

Many users likely will like Linux Mint and keep using it rather than buying a new computer. You may even think why you have not tried Linux Mint years ago and that it is good you did it now.

Author Bio:
Ina started to use Linux Mint a few years ago, and since then got convinced that installing and using Linux Mint at home is a great solution to keep using older computers instead of replacing them.

Ina also thinks that many home users replace their Windows computers for no real benefit to them simply because they do not know about alternatives such as Linux Mint.

Perhaps this book will help some of them to try this alternative free operating system before they decide if they need to buy a new computer or at least keep using an old one as well.

OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages by Strobe Witherspoon

Award-winning novelist and cultural critic Strobe Witherspoon interrogates his own profession. It goes terribly.

“Wildly entertaining …Sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, Witherspoon’s timely metafictional novel explores the ways (mis)information can shape public discourse in the digital media age.” – Booklife by Publishers Weekly

”Strikingly original …an innovative literary experiment that supplies a thoughtful commentary on the ‘discourse virus’ of our age …Witherspoon tackles a broad spectrum of media, including comically scathing excerpts from tweets, podcasts, blogs, and even academic journals and also keenly exposes the ways in which Strobe, the character, is implicated in his own online assault, due to his obsessive attachment to public life.” – Kirkus Reviews

OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation.

————
Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book in question, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is a fictitious autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book’s publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. Family secrets are exposed. Now, an anthology has been put together to document Witherspoon’s downfall—and settle the score.
————

”an impressive achievement of unflinching honesty from a noteworthy talent, as resonant and relevant as it is entertaining …OOF tugs at the threads that connect American cynicism with radical extremism and weaves a character-rich tapestry of insight …Each voice, whether of a New Yorker journalist or an Internet influencer, is rendered with uncanny fidelity. Perhaps most masterful is that key events are not depicted but merely alluded to, allowing the text to provide an elegant framework for a more personal story painted almost invisibly in the negative space.”– BlueInk Review

MERCURY DAGGER: A Tale From Kraydenia by Marius H. Visser

Ignorant of the world beyond the walls of Karta, the capital of Kraydenia, young Gordon faces a rite of passage that will reward him with the privilege of being regarded as a man. It has always been a harrowing ordeal, but never like this. Joined on his quest by two others, they find themselves quickly snared by a growing threat ravaging Kraydenia.

Stranded far from his homeworld, Baldrake, the fierce general of the Gar hounds, is shunned from the pack and stripped of his title by the last remaining wolves of Gar. Now, as evil rears its head, he fights alongside Gordon for their name, their honour, and the right to call this new world their home.

With a deep, hidden, tortured past, Malachai not only fights for the land but also the turmoil raging inside him — his warhammer no longer a shiny ornament of obscurity hanging on the wall, but blood-stained and strapped to his back once more.

The companions will have to fight for much more than just Gordon’s cause, as the fate of the world rests in their hands and leads to a mystical journey fraught with danger.

Outclassed and outnumbered, the unlikely band of heroes find an ally who could tip the scales to fight the magic of a powerful sorcerer and the evil forces he commands. But can they trust them?

Author Bio:
Equally pulled in opposite directions by the arts and science, writing was relegated to a part-time obsession during a career as an internal medicine specialist. After practicing as a small-town physician in southwest Washington for thirty-one years and miraculously raising two daughters, Dr. Johnson retired to Hawaii at the end of 2018.. Eleven novels now completed, Requital is the fifth in the Dr. Sean Nolan series, though each mystery stands alone as a distinct offering. Living in paradise is the time between writing, proof-reading, editing, cover design, and attempting to navigate the new world of advertising. Thankfully, it remains a labor of love.

Light Among the Shadows by Jennifer Leigh Pezzano

Lara is running from a fractured marriage, and an unfathomable loss that consumes her.
Drawn to the beautiful, open expanse of sky and the possibility of a new life, Lara finds herself working on a secluded property in Montana caring for horses. There she meets Peter, a man trapped in the darkness of his disability and closed off from the world around him.
Together, they forge a connection that is tender and fervent as the walls they have built around themselves begin to crack. But can two broken people truly find healing in each other? Or will the wounds they carry be too deep to repair?
Light Among the Shadows is a journey of love and redemption, of choices that define us, and the delicate dance between the past that holds us back and the future that beckons us forward.

About Light Up The Night

Reckless. That’s what they call me.
I rush into burning building to save lives, and I wish it was for a just cause.
It’s not. It’s to prove that I’m worthy of love.
A messed-up knee, and my dreams of being in the NFL are gone.
I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what f*cks me up.
It’s living that gets me.
The last thing I need in my life is a woman, no matter how bad I want one.
And yet, this one has me pacing the floor.
The single mom who owns my crew’s favorite restaurant is sweet, loving, and hot as hell.
It’s not that easy, though. She’s lost too much in her life to give out free chances to men like me.
But I’m not asking for a chance.
I’m taking it.
