Whistling Librarian
A break-in at the Two Harbors Public Library leads to the discovery of a tape recording of a song made famous by a local rock band, but with different lyrics. The Whistling Pines residents recall events from the time, reigniting questions about the song and a long-forgotten band member's death. Revelations about unknown cousins in a family tree, an outbreak of "apiary flu", a library s矇ance, and a visiting baby's disappearance from the senior residence all intersect with a 1970s fatal car accident.S. Peters-Davis Editorial Review The prologue begins with a question of 'what happened next?' Then it moves on to the characters (workers and residents - each one with their own quirks) at Whistling Pines Senior Resident Home. Peter Rogers runs the place and makes the perfect main character. There's always something going on that consistently captivates me throughout the mystery. This is book 10 of the Whistling Pines Mysteries series, so most of the characters have grown on me, making me smile, laugh, or wonder what the heck they are thinking, doing, or creating for Peter. I adore all of Mr. Hovey's books and the additions to this book from Ms. Flagge. I'm never disappointed and am always ready for the next one: )
Udder Nonsense - More Tales from Frost Heaves
Welcome back to Frost Heaves, New Hampshire, where the coffee's strong, the winters are longer, and common sense is about as rare as a reasonable property tax bill. In this delightful new collection, Yankee humorist Fred Marple returns with more tales from New England's most charmingly unpredictable town. When the Loon Lodge decides to raise funds with a duck race, nobody counted on the ducks having their own agenda. Young Albert Cooper discovers that prize sows and romance don't mix, And when Millard Tuttle spots a certain red-suited fellow in distress, Christmas in Frost Heaves takes an unexpected turn. From the church basement to the town square, Pastor Woodstead questions his calling while a champion bingo player meets her match in an overly chatty newcomer. Plus, catch up on all the local news through Fred's signature "News Nuggets" and police reports that prove truth really is stranger than fiction. Fred Marple has been called the Garrison Keillor of New England and the voice of New Hampshire as Bert & I once were to Mainers. Nobody captures small-town Yankee life with more warmth and wit. Whether you're a longtime New Englander or just wish you were, Udder Nonsense serves up the perfect blend of gentle humor, quirky characters, and the kind of storytelling that makes you feel right at home-even if home has more than its share of stubborn livestock and well-meaning folks with questionable judgment. Praise for Fred Marple's Welcome to Frost Heaves: "Absolutely hilarious." "This book was nonstop laughter." "Born and raised in New England and smiled through the whole book." "...great old Yankee satire and wit!" "New Englanders will be rolling on the floor laughing." "This is the New Hampshire I remember from my girlhood - forthright, thrifty, quirky characters who know what living in a real community is all about." "This is a funny, witty, wise and warm book ..." "Fabulously fun for all ages!"
Will There Ever Be Another You
"Lockwood has written a roving chronicle of the madness of illness and the frightening porousness of what it means to be yourself in the hilariously profound way that only she could." - Vulture "Bonkers." - The New York Times "Reliably brilliant." - The Washington Post "A wild, devilishly curious, often hallucinatory ride that's worth its weight in insights." - The San Francisco Chronicle From the Booker Prize finalist and "formidably gifted writer" (The New York Times), a vertiginous novel about a woman's descent into illness and insanity. Amid a global pandemic, one young woman is trying to keep the pieces together - of her family, stunned by a devastating loss, and of her mind, left mangled and misfiring from a mystifying disease. She's afraid of her own floorboards, and "WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON'T HURT ME" plays over and over in her ears. She hates her friends, or more accurately, she doesn't know who they are. Has the illness stolen her old mind and given her a new one? Does it mean she'll get to start over from scratch, a chance afforded to very few people? The very weave of herself seems to have loosened: time and memories pass straight through her body. "I'm sorry not to respond to your email," she writes, "but I live completely in the presentnow." Will There Ever Be Another You is the brain-shredding, phosphorescent story of one woman's dissolution and her attempt to create a new way of thinking, as well as a profound investigation into what keeps us alive in times of unprecedented disorientation and loss, from one of our most original writers. Praise for Will There Ever Be Another You "Patricia Lockwood... writes with the impish verve and provocative guilelessness of a peeing cupid." - The New Yorker "Completely singular... Patricia Lockwood's body of work is like this: a hymn--or ode, depending on the day--to the painful project of being human." - The New Republic "The author's fans will find her trademark humor, originality, and depth on full display. This is a knockout." - starred Publishers Weekly Praise for No One Is Talking About This "A book that reads like a prose poem, at once sublime, profane, intimate, philosophical, witty and, eventually, deeply moving." --The New York Times "Reading Patricia Lockwood raises questions. Questions such as, How can a person understand both herself and the world with such clarity? How does a person experience things so intensely and express them so buoyantly? Am I laughing or am I crying? Lockwood's first novel is as crystalline, witty, and brain-shredding as her poetry and criticism." --Vulture "Wow. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book. What an inventive and startling writer...I'm so glad I read this. I really think this book is remarkable." --David Sedaris "God, is she funny!" --The New Yorker

Happy Holidays?
My book is about holidays I have taken with immediate family, friends from school or my school career as a senior teacher all over the world, including most of the UK, nearly all Europe, Australia, South Africa, Canada and the USA. It has serious stories in it, but is mostly about things that perhaps didn't perhaps go quite as they should, and there were many little disasters. It is basically a poor man's Bill Bryson's travel around the Gordon holidays.

Modern Dance, Brass Balls, and....
In this humorous story set in the repressive 1950s, insecure Lars Jonson reveals two deep, closely guarded secrets: His lifelong dream is to become a professional modern dancer, and he believes himself to be homosexual. These characteristics are frowned upon and, indeed, despised in his Southside Chicago neighborhood. When in his high school's college placement office he chances upon a brochure advertising an exciting new program in Modern Dance-led by none other than the famous dancer Diego Ra, at the Wilbur M. Butz College in Alesburg, Illinois-he thinks, This will be my nirvana. Here he can realize his dream to become a modern dancer, surrounded by fellow dance enthusiasts and maybe with a sampling of homos around as well. Moreover, he will be in a safe place, far, far away from the haters in his Southside Chicago neighborhood. So, he packs his bag and heads for Butz College. Unfortunately, not all dreams come true, and Lars's nirvana is not exactly as was proclaimed in the brochure. In an achingly funny and painfully human voice, Lars shares his disillusionment and hopelessness. But in the depths of despair, Lars finds the courage to face, and defeat, his demons head-on and discovers his dreams may be well within reach.

Tales from the Pays d'Oc
What is Matthieu doing up an olive tree? Why won't Jos矇phine ever eat pizza again? Who stole the Indian prawn? And who rescued two hapless Americans at Armageddon Falls?Travel to the Languedoc, feel the scorch of the sun on your shoulders, smell the dust and the lavender and the ripening grapes and follow the adventures of the Saturday Club and the regulars at l'Estaminet.In this collection of 21 stories, Patricia Feinberg Stoner revisits the territory of her award-winning memoir, 'At Home in the Pays d'Oc' with a whole host of characters both new and familiar.
Satire State
Satire State: Dispatches from the Obedient Republic by Christina di PensareWhat if democracy didn't die in darkness-but in daylight, with polite applause and a standing ovation? In this searing collection of satirical fables, Christina di Pensare takes aim at the absurdities of authoritarianism disguised as order, obedience, and patriotic performance.With sharp wit and dark hilarity, di Pensare issues a series of dispatches from the Obedient Republic -each more chilling, absurd, and uncomfortably familiar than the last-that chart the bureaucratic banality of modern authoritarianism. In the Obedient Republic, citizens nod hourly, perform thrice-daily nationally-mandated splits, and wear matching crutches in solidarity with their Supreme Leader's stubbed toe.No feeling is safe. No metaphor is approved. No citizen is taller than the President.From ministries that ban cutlery and metaphors, to trials for teenagers who dared to moon the Presidential motorcade, Satire State conjures a nation teetering on the edge of madness-one bureaucratic decree at a time. Reminiscent of the dark irony of Jonathan Swift, the gallows humor of George Saunders, and the prophetic sting of George Orwell, these dispatches read like parody-until they don't. These aren't warnings from the future. They're funhouse reflections of the present. Satire State is laugh-out-loud funny-until it isn't.

Pavlov's Dog
The only acting credit on the back of Stan Pavlov's headshot is "appeared in court". But one day, his life takes an unexpected change - for the worse - when his beloved Dog inadvertently gets cast in the commercial Stan was auditioning for. Pavlov's Dog moves to L.A. and ascends to stardom: The Royal Shakespeare Company, an animated series, a late-night talk show. Stan quits. He has flushed acting out of his system, until...The Dog, sick and broke, needs money for an operation (having blown all his on chew toys and bitches). To raise cash, Stan grudgingly agrees to become a prime-time game-show host.Stan finds that everything he ever wanted - money, fame, attention - is not actually what he really wanted. Trashing hotel rooms, robbing banks, punching fans who don't want to take his picture can't erase the simple truth: there is no loneliness quite as profound as a man separated from his dog. David Kurman's brilliant social satire is a hilarious look at the absurdity and fickleness of modern fame.
