Aisle M for Murder
Aisle M for Murder is a comedic locked door mystery and uproarious farce set at a convention center complex. Our unlikely hero, slacker Charles Magnus Caine, along with his girlfriend, Fallon, innocently run head on into multiple murders, an abundance of assassins, and a mysterious disappearance that no one can solve. Encountering a parade of cosplay characters, Charles tries to stay alive long enough to solve the conundrum without becoming a target himself.

Lessons From My Animals
In his book that is at times poignant, at times provocative, and always laden with humor, author Jim Reddy introduces the reader to each of the many animals that have called his rural 20-acre property their home over the past few years. Through his recounting of their quirky personalities and often-hilarious antics, he brings to light the lessons they taught him, and how they each helped him remember his humanity during one of the most stressful and tumultuous times our nation has had to endure. Throughout, Jim also takes humorous aim at the people, events, trends, and challenges that have dominated and polarized our society including CRT, cancel culture, new pronouns, men in women's bathing suits, bright orange former presidents, and very dim current presidents. See what I mean? That last bit was an example of Jim's humor right there. Really. Jim Reddy is a former healthcare administrator with over 30 years experience managing medical practices and hospital imaging centers. In 2020 he left the field and he and his partner, Katherine, began dedicating their time and energy to caring for the many lost, stray, abused, or otherwise unwanted animals that had come into their life since they moved to their 20-acre property in rural America. He credits these wonderful creatures and their quirky personalities with helping him maintain his (questionable) sanity and- more importantly- his humanity during a time of unprecedented chaos and craziness in our country since the arrival of covid. His writing style and wit have been noted by such luminaries as his mother and his agent with accolades like "Best penmanship I ever saw!" and "My son is such a good boy!" Actually, his mother is his agent. But she did say those things.

Talking it out
This innovative work by Francis Deng, the noted scholar, diplomat, legal expert and author, moves the study of negotiation out of the limited traditional context of industrial relations and resituates it in the broader arena of negotiating human relations, drawing on his childhood experiences, inter-racial and cross-cultural encounters at home and abroad, and incidents from his diplomatic career. Talking It Out provides an account of the author's family and background as a son of the leading Dinka Chief in a long line of leaders believed to be spiritually-endowed peacemakers, a cultural context that has helped shape his perspective on conflicts and how to manage or resolve them. His distinctive perspective became manifest in his response to the conflicts in Sudan between the Arab-Islamic North and African-Christian South, in which he was ironically both a victim and a peacemaker; Deng's account of interpersonal relations abroad in the course of a diplomatic career that linked international civil service in the United Nations with representing his country as Ambassador to the United States, Scandinavian countries and Canada, along with serving as minister of State for Foreign Affairs for Sudan, describes the way in which he was able to engage his domestically rooted cultural values on an international level. The Volume concludes with an analytical commentary that places these experiences in a thematic framework that matches the values of his upbringing with his responses to negotiating human relations in conflict situations, Deng's unique approach to the cultural dimension of conflict management has wide relevance in today's world. This is an exceptional work by one of the outstanding cultural authorities of our time.
How to Survive History
A detailed guide to surviving history's most challenging threats, from outrunning dinosaurs to making it off the Titanic alive History is the most dangerous place on earth. From dinosaurs the size of locomotives to meteors big enough to sterilize the planet, from famines to pandemics, from tornadoes to the Chicxulub asteroid, the odds of human survival are slim but not zero--at least, not if you know where to go and what to do. In each chapter of How to Survive History, Cody Cassidy explores how to survive one of history's greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, drowning during the sinking of the Titanic, falling prey to the Black Death, and more. Using hindsight and modern science to estimate everything from how fast you'd need to run to outpace a T. rex to the advantages of different body types in surviving the Donner Party tragedy, Cassidy gives you a detailed battle plan for survival, helping you learn about the era at the same time. History may be the most dangerous place on earth, but that doesn't mean you can't visit. You can, and you should. And with a copy of How to Survive History in your back pocket, you just might make it out alive.

Playing POTUS
Peter Funt takes an entertaining and probing look at how comedic impressions of U.S. presidents evolved from Kennedy to Biden-and their impact on real-life politics. Beginning with Vaughn Meader's record album "The First Family" in 1962, the genre has grown during a dozen administrations. From Meader's portrayal of JFK as a debonair leader who cherished his rub-uh swan, to Alec Baldwin's depiction of Donald Trump as an orange-tinted buffoon, Americans at times seem more familiar with the screen versions of chief executives than the politicians themselves. With Joe Biden, impersonators have been challenged by a divided nation with a fragile sense of humor. Playing POTUS connects the dots between those in power and those speaking shtick to power, uncovering intriguing details about presidential mimics. Over 50 interviews include insights from Dana Carvey, Al Franken, Darrell Hammond, Jay Pharoah, Rich Little, Harry Shearer, along with comedy writers and producers. Upon the release of Meader's landmark album, the anthropologist Margaret Mead observed, "This making fun of people in authority is very healthy. It is the difference between democracy and tyranny."

Don't Look, Ethel!
It's human nature to look at something when you have emphatically been told not to look.Those of mythological lore who looked directly at Medusa, the snake-headed creature, were instantly turned to stone.Lot's wife, in the book of Genesis, could not resist to look back even after God had strongly advised her not to. As we know, her one peek instantly and infamously made her the first box of Morton Salt.Similarly, Ethel, in Ray Stevens's 1974 hit song, "The Streak," ignored her protective husband's earnest pleas not to look at a serial streaker.Ethel did not turn to stone or salt, but she did lose her clothes as a result of her looking.My suspect friends, Bacon and Genius, would highly implore you NOT to read this book.However, if you would like quick doses of humor, inspiration, and wisdom, this book just may be what you are looking for.Can you resist? What will your fate be if you do look? The choice is in your hands. Proceed at your own risk!Certainly, it could do no harm to take just one little peek...

The Travel Bog Diaries
Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian. Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip. Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected. This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe. From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz's endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget.Even if they wanted to. Armed with humour, optimism, & three pairs of comfy high-waisted travel knickers, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure.Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes while learning that despite parenting fails, family, love, and laughter always triumph over looking cool for the gram. Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...! What readers are saying: "...brilliantly entertaining writing...read it all in one sitting..." "... Bridget Jones crossed with Eat, Pray, Love...a wickedly funny delight!..." "...one of the most hilarious books for women I have ever read! Superb!..." "...I snorted with laughter, Liz is genuinely hilarious..." "...A hilariously funny reassuring book for every mom or dad..." "...everything you could want in a travel memoir and more..." "...inspiring, funny, cringe-worthy & heartwarming, often all at the same time. Fabulous..." "...I laughed out loud throughout...British humour at it's best..." "...Relatable, hilarious, funny stories: everything from being a wife, motherhood to family travel...LOVED IT!" Excerpt from the Introduction of The Travel Bog Diaries: "I was always desperate to be a yummy mummy. A yommy mommy.One of those parents who jogged effortlessly through the park wearing lip-gloss and a baseball cap. Pushing a baby in a three-wheeler pram. Never getting the wheels stuck in a drain. Never leaking urine from her pelvic floorBut sadly, it seemed the mummy fairy had me pegged for different things.**There are lots of other things in life I assumed I'd never be able to do. Giving birth twice without going to a hospital. (Yes.)Homeschooling my kids instead of sending them to school. (Yes.)Getting on the front page of Home and Garden. (As if.)Travelling the world for a year with two teenagers and a husband with an acid reflux problem. (Yes.) I know. I still can't believe I'm talking about myself when I say that out loud You see ...Up until a few years ago, I believed that people like us, like me and you, don't do things like travel the world. No.People like us sit on the toilet scrolling Pinterest. Wishing we owned an outdoor pizza oven & a pergola with fairy lights.People like us don't leave the nine to five day job & go around the world for a year. They just DON'T. The END.Do they?Yes. Apparently, they do.After years spent devouring Instagram posts about families who went on exotic vacations for a really long time, I finally did the same. Me & my family. We travelled the world.We left our house, car, clothes, the kids' friends, school work, and our nervous dog & swapped it for three hundred and sixty-five glorious (mostly glorious) days trotting around the world. And THIS is the TRUE story of what it

Kansas GenExistential
Crack up or cry, Kansas GenExistential will take you on a ride! Have some snacks handy-and your hand fan if you're in menopause-because you'll be reading this book all at once.Insightful and hilarious, Amber Fraley will keep you on the edge of your chair with this collection of frequently irreverent, sometimes heartfelt, essays about growing up a GenXer in the Midwest. In the style of David Sedaris, Carnival Snackery and Nora McInerney, Bad Vibes Only: (and Other Things I Bring to the Table), Fraley is brutally honest about everything from a 1990s college experiement in how to turn free pasture hemp into smokable weed with your friends, to learning about social justice as we age. With her trademark biting wit, Fraley describes the foibles and follies of growing up a kid in the turbulent and strange decade of the 1980s, odd characters she encountered in the 1990s, and how GenXers are now handling midlife differently than their parents. She also talks frankly about her late entry into the reproductive justice movement and what menopause is really like with equal parts humor and compassion. From the long, strange trip of the Reagan years to the Trump years, and the particular frustrations of being from the Midwest, Fraley's view on life is refreshing.These biting essays delve into identity, resilience, and activism. From navigating childhood challenges to fighting for bodily autonomy, Fraley's heartfelt narratives and timely insights invite readers to embrace diversity, challenge stereotypes, and join the ongoing battle for justice-while laughing out-loud.

Junk Drawer
There are roughly 600,000 words in the English language. Most of the ways in which these words can be arranged make absolutely no sense. Try it. Pick a handful of words out of those 600,000 and see how it goes. Here's a typical result: Polyp the translucent aardvark coconut rather bumpy my stump. See? Nonsense. And yet, within the pages of this book, you'll find that, on average, about 75% of what you read makes sense! It's nothing short of a literary miracle, especially considering the amount of beer involved in writing it. Furthermore, you might actually learn a few things, like: 1) How to fail at upgrading computers. 2) How to ride a motorcycle (spoiler: don't) 3) How to make French toast (even if you're not French!) 4) How to almost cut your hand off with a meat cleaver (being young and stupid helps) 5) And much, much more!
29 Palms
Hawke has always searched for the meaning behind everything. Forever he has sat at the crossroads not knowing which way to turn, until the day came when he decided to hop behind the wheel, take a chance, and choose a course. This book is the telling of that story. In ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​29 Palms, Hawke recounts the experiences he had on a trek across the country that turned out to be a journey of a lifetime. It all takes place in the summer of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, when America was literally on fire during one of the greatest upheavals in our nation's recent history. This particular odyssey describes a personal pilgrimage of finding one's self, and discovering what love truly is. Crippled by loss, and self doubt, our Wanderer still perseveres in order to answer the burning question within his heart. Who am I really, and where does my true path lie?
Happy-Go-Lucky
David Sedaris, the "champion storyteller," (Los Angeles Times) returns with his first new collection of personal essays since the bestselling Calypso Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask--or not--was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he's stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most. To cope, he walks for miles through a nearly deserted city, smelling only his own breath. He vacuums his apartment twice a day, fails to hoard anything, and contemplates how sex workers and acupuncturists might be getting by during quarantine. As the world gradually settles into a new reality, Sedaris too finds himself changed. His offer to fix a stranger's teeth rebuffed, he straightens his own, and ventures into the world with new confidence. Newly orphaned, he considers what it means, in his seventh decade, no longer to be someone's son. And back on the road, he discovers a battle-scarred America: people weary, storefronts empty or festooned with Help Wanted signs, walls painted with graffiti reflecting the contradictory messages of our time: Eat the Rich. Trump 2024. Black Lives Matter. In Happy-Go-Lucky, David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about these recent upheavals, personal and public, and expresses in precise language both the misanthropy and desire for connection that drive us all. If we must live in interesting times, there is no one better to chronicle them than the incomparable David Sedaris.
