    Goodbye, Board Room and Legal Briefs--Hello, Dimples, Diapers, and DestructionWomen know that raising children will be different from climbing the corporate ladder. But nothing can truly prepare them for the mind-muddling world of motherhood. It doesn't take long for a new mom to question whether her tyrannical, diapered boss really understands her value to the organization. Because honestly? She's not always sure herself. With her signature wit, lawyer-turned-full-time-mommy Sarah Parshall Perry says what all new moms are thinking when they trade annual reports for homework help and yoga pants. Perry invites moms to laugh alongside her amidst the "Are you kidding me?!" moments that come with the job of raising humans. This book is story of every mother who gives up one thing to get something better--and ends up finding out what she's worth along the way.

    Thirty years after the his death, Capt. Stormfield is still speeding across the universe, on his way to the next life, though he doesn't know yet where or when his journey will end. It's not a spoiler to tell you that he does get into heaven (it's in the title after all), but you may be surprised at some of the customs, characters, and spectacles he finds there. Great fun, interesting philosophy, and for a finale, a magnificent heavenly reception to welcome a deathbed convert: a barkeeper from New Jersey.

    A British comedy filled with adult humour, questionable dating choices, and a whole lot of laughs. 
    Pete Walker is back on the dating scene. He wants that Romeo & Juliet level of passion but keeps getting Shrek & Donkey instead. Could uninhibited fitness fanatic Penny be the one? Cat-crazy Miranda seems nice, but there is something intriguing about Lila. It’s just a shame her hobbies include car theft. 
    Dating is difficult at the best of times, but in a city with a serial killer on the loose, next to impossible – especially when you’re suffering from memory loss and keep waking up in strange places, dressed in an all-black outfit with matching leather gloves. 
    Fast-paced and funny - ★★★★★

    Dark yet hilarious - ★★★★★ 
    Narrated by the fantastic TV & stage actress Sarah Kempton.
