Hello? Who Is This? Margaret?
Winner of the 2025 PenCraft Seasonal Book Award Fall Competition for Non Fiction - Humor Genre2025 NYC Big Book Award - Distinguished FavoriteA comedic look at blind ambition, stubborn optimism, and perseveranceDani Alpert is an expert on the fortitude and delusion required to pursue childhood dreams that just won't drop dead. Her experiences are a case study in the human spirit's tenacity and its unwavering ability to keep going in the face of crushing rejection. After years toiling in the entertainment industry, hearing "Almost," "So close," or "Not quite" on a loop, she turned rejection into fuel and humor into a survival tool.Some of Dani's stories dive into the bowels of childhood, the creative psyche, and the birth of an aspiring Broadway baby. Other episodes explore crippling adult fears and self-doubt and what happens when the ing矇nue becomes a member of AARP. Whether she's describing her bumpy road trying to get a foothold in Hollywood, her retail adventures shopping for gas masks during COVID, or her idiotic decision to vacation at a romantic couple's resort after a heart-wrenching breakup, Dani offers gentle shoves-inspiration wrapped in cautionary tales-for anyone still chasing their dreams but feeling stuck.Hello? Who Is This? Margaret? delivers tales of universally awkward, misunderstood, and human failings through wit, pop culture, and Dani's losses and wins (mostly losses). Her humor-sometimes dark and distorted but always self-aware-is a salve for the messiness and absurdities of life. Dani's candid essays speak to the hopeful in all of us.

My Not So Brilliant Dating Career by C C Blooms is a laugh-out-loud, delightfully cringe-filled memoir of modern dating misadventures. Through a series of hilarious, all-too-relatable stories, Penny Curtis takes readers on a wobbly journey through decades of awkward crushes, epic first-date fails, misguided teenage flings, and outright bizarre encounters - all in the hopeless pursuit of finding "the one."From chasing boys in kindergarten (with disastrous results) to plotting elaborate schemes involving Hubba Bubba gum, from cringe-worthy Year 9 dance floors to catastrophic speed dating fiascos, Penny's stories are equal parts mortifying and heartwarming. Along the way, she faces the ghosts of karma, wayward magpies (and Collingwood fans), cockatoos gone rogue, identity crises, and a parade of men who prove that real life rarely plays out like a rom-com.Written in a witty, conversational style through playful emails with her best friend Stephanie, Penny unpacks why her love life has been a series of comedic near-misses - and why she might finally be okay with it.Perfect for fans of Bridget Jones, Dolly Alderton, or anyone who's ever left a date thinking, "Well, that was a disaster," this book reminds us that sometimes the best love story is the one you write for yourself (after a strong tequila shot and a good laugh with your mates).

Midas Living with a Bird in the Hood
Midas is an African gray parrot that was rescued in 2007. After posting some of our conversations on social media, many friends fell in love with the "cantankerous" old bird whose ability to be part of the conversation. He may be the cause of frustration one day but smiling about it the next because we live in the hood; we don't know what he is going to request or, should I say, demand at any given time. He has stopped us from arguing and made us laugh, left us wondering where he heard that from (as if we didn't know) and kept us in constant awe at his many phrases. There will only be one time when we cry because of Midas, which also means that the house will be very quiet. I hope that time doesn't happen for a very long time.
