Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Summer 2024 is a time for romance novels. But also fantasy books. And literary fiction. And thrillers. Really, there should be no strict parameters around what makes the best “summer book,” or even what qualifies as a “beach read.” The last time I was on a beach, my friends and I read a Jane Austen classic, a gloomy London murder mystery, a trendy romantasy, and a literary family drama between us. When it comes to vacation reading, there are no rules.

This is the first of a trilogy that follows two outcast classmates who befriend each other and end up raising a daughter under unusual circumstances. Truths surface that were meant to be buried forever. This book is part mystery, love story and family drama. It is a fast read, and I cannot wait for the sequels.

AI was beneficial for some of the information in this article. If you are a Virginian who loves sunflower seeds in their shells, you have probably found a prize in the bottom of the bag just like in boxes of Cracker Jacks. Instead of a ring it's encountered a piece of bark that can be found in some bags.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

The mother of a Denver homeless man told the City Council Monday that city-sponsored services have failed her son. Barbara Hallick Yeomans made her remarks during public comment period of the City Council meeting. She said her son grapples with substance abuse and mental illness and repeatedly has been harassed by police. She said her son also suffered verbal abuse by a guard in the Denver County Jail. Yeomans said she heard the guard harassing her son over the phone.

Within hours of the sighting on Wednesday, Frank van Manen caught word that there was a grizzly sow with five cubs in tow spotted in Yellowstone National Park. Five cubs following mom is so unlikely that van Manen, who leads the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, pondered an explanation.

The cover of Julie Myerson’s newest release seems to luxuriate in its contradictions. The title Nonfiction, rendered in a jumbo font, dominates the top margin while the only slightly smaller A Novel anchors the bottom. The book, first published in the UK in 2022 and released to American audiences in January of this year by Tin House, is shelved with fiction as per the publisher’s Library of Congress Cataloging data, and indeed the front matter includes a short statement that attests to the work’s fictionality. And yet that title demands speculation—as does the way the novel’s circumstances so closely mimic territory Myerson covered in her 2009 memoir The Lost Child. That book documented the author’s experience parenting her son as he suffered from drug addiction; this one follows a fictional mother as she parents an addict daughter. Writers like Jo Ann Beard, Amy Hempel, and Sheila Heti have long challenged the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction with their work. It is, after all, a brave new nonbinary world, and narrative has as much to gain from spectrums as the rest of us. It’s also fair to say that there’s nothing more tantalizing to readers than a whiff of truth.
