🚨NEW BOOK ALERT!🚨 Coming 06/23/2026: A new YA Contemporary novel by R.B. Shifman Title: TAKING BACK AUGUST Wicked twist. Poignant, coming-of-age storyline. From @btwnthelinespub.bsky.social Check the blurb in the photo #youngadult #novel #indieauthors #ComingOfAge #author

One the left, a teen boy and girl in a second-floor window blocked, ironically, by a ladder. Overlaid with the book title: TAKING BACK AUGUST. By RB Shifman

On the right, a playground at night with empty swings. A metaphor for coming-of-age loss of innocence.

Blurb: a teen gamer’s life is disrupted then dissembled when a mysterious girl climbs through his bedroom window, summoning him to see—and live—what’s real.

Start with my memoir, HEADLOCK. I think it will resonate with you. Then, move on to the fictional novels!

So confused by how they label milk. So, milk with no fat is either called Fat Free or Skim. That makes enough sense. If there's 1% fat, it's called 1%. If 2%, it's called 2%. All good. But then, how much fat is in "Half and Half" 50%? And don't even get me started on "Whole" Milk? Is that 100% fat?
