Haiku (Volume III)
Reginald Horace Blyth (1898-1964) was a prime mover in the popularization of haiku and Zen philosophy in western culture. Born in England, Blyth spent most of his working life in Japan, where he acted as a professor of English and foreign liaison, and became a great admirer of Japanese poetry. Long considered by haiku enthusiasts an essential resource for English-speaking readers, Blyth's four-volume haiku anthology is a testament to his love and deep understanding of this singular art form. Presenting the best work of Japan's haiku masters alongside his own lucid commentary, Blyth's volumes communicate the true meaning and spirit of haiku in a way rarely accessible to western readers. Haiku Vol III (Summer and Autumn) continues Blyth's seasonal exploration of haiku. It seems that something about the hot and uncomfortable months of summer in particular brought out the humor and sarcasm of the great haiku poets, making this one of the most enjoyable of Blyth's volumes.

Road to Yesterday
For Anne and Gilbert Blythe, life in a small village is never dull because of all the entertaining gossip, and what strange and funny tales they hear: about the mischievous twins whose dearest wish comes true when they meet up with a bored and haunted millionaire; or clever Penelope Craig, who considers herself an expert on children -- until she adopts a boy of her own; or Timothy Randebush, a man so eager to keep his brother out of the clutches of a dangerous woman that he spirits her away -- only to fall prey to her charms himself. Filled with unexpected surprises, laughter, and tears, here are fourteen of the Blythes' favorite tales.

The Push
Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of motherhood's exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter-she doesn't behave like most children do. Or is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then their son Sam is born-and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth. The Push is a tour de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.

Mage Assassins & Other Misfits
The weirdness level of my life has reached an all-time high. Which is saying something, considering I started out as a psychic conman and somehow ended up as a MagiPol agent. And not just any agent. Lately, I've been Captain Blythe's right-hand man and most trusted confidant. Yeah, I know. Super weird. It's also kind of awkward because, unbeknownst to her, I've also teamed up with her most loathed nemesis, Darius King, guild master of the Crow and Hammer and the number one guy on the Consilium's 'To Be Eliminated' list. Oh, and the Consilium? It's just a secret organization embedded deep in the upper echelons of the MPD that's using its nefarious influence to take over the world. Or destroy it. We're still figuring that part out. 'We' being me and Blythe. And me and Darius. But not Blythe and Darius. Like I said, it's awkward. Unfortunately, the Consilium knows we're on to them. Their plans are already in motion, and if we don't find a way to stop them, the mythic world will change

Work Like A Monk
A thoughtful exploration of integrating Buddhist principles into modern life and work. Written as a dialogue between a businessperson and a temple priest, the book bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. Through mindful listening, daily practices, and a focus on interconnection, it provides practical guidance on achieving balance, purpose, and peace amidst life's noise. Readers are invited to reflect on the meaning of happiness, the value of relationships, and how small, mindful acts can lead to profound change. Written in a reflective, conversational tone, Matsumoto blends the storytelling approach of a dialogue between two characters-a businessperson and a temple priest-with practical insights. The narrative is deeply rooted in Buddhist philosophy, yet it is simplified and contextualized for a modern audience, especially those engaged in professional and urban life. The author uses vivid imagery, anecdotes, and analogies to make abstract spiritual concepts accessible and to illustrate how mindfulness, interconnectedness, and simplicity can be implemented by anyone seeking balance between work and personal well-being. The inclusion of real-world practices like mindful listening, cleaning, and gratitude rituals makes the book practical, not just philosophical.Work Like a Monk beautifully bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. It is a practical guide to achieving balance, purpose and peace amidst life's noise.
