  There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
  It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.

  Benjamin lives with a name he hates in a run-down San Francisco apartment, until his brother Billy finds him. Billy's a shattered war veteran who sleeps under a bridge with his loyal band of phone thieves, trying to avoid the police and the VA. 
  Thirty years earlier, Benjamin had an Ivy League degree and was getting noticed for his Peace Corps work on the Ecuadorian coast. But Felicia also noticed, seducing him into a life of cajoling secrets from others to be peddled worldwide to the highest bidder. Felicia's talented protégé lived a privileged life until he made a mistake and had to flee with the name Gloria. 
  Now he can only help Billy if he becomes Benjamin again, which means finding Felicia and fixing the mess he left behind. Benjamin eventually finds her, sightless, living in Mexico City. He agrees to be her eyes on a final road trip through Latin America in exchange for his restored identity, but Benjamin sees more than he ever could imagine. 
  The Server is filled with dark humor, and some people may find the images of sexual assault and drug use triggering.

  Yarns on a life lived at a million miles, from beloved broadcaster, podcaster and go-getter Brodie Kane  
    
  'A romp through glorious (and gross) adventures, Brodie writes as if you're her best friend. By the end, you'll really wish you were.' - Kerre Woodham 
  First up: this is absolutely not a guide to life. I've done some impressive stuff, but I've also slept on the floor of an old Greek man's house and lost my dignity in the Brunei jungle. I say yes to everything this life has to offer - I'm from the 'women can have it all' club - and, boy, have I got the stories to show for it. 
  From surf-lifesaving to a hungover Army deployment, being broke with a gum infection in Europe, spooning Richie McCaw on a mountain, improvising make-up for Paul Holmes, running my first ultra-marathon and reinventing myself after redundancy: every wild, brilliant and hilarious experience has taught me something new. Whether it's how not to care about being judged, how to fake it till you make it, how to throw yourself into the unknown or how to push through the pit of despair, I've come to love that we are all works in progress. If I fail from time to time, that's okay too.  
  Open the book of this open book (me). I want to show you the raw, the real and the vulnerable of a full-volume life and how the greatest moments - or at the very least the greatest yarns - come about by just giving it a crack.

  Congratulations! You’ve found yet another self-help book that you’ll skim through, feel briefly inspired by, and then completely ignore while continuing to make the same bad decisions. 
  🚨 THIS IS NOT A REAL SELF-HELP BOOK. 🚨 
  This is a book for people who have: 
  ✔️ Bought planners they never use. 
  ✔️ Watched productivity videos while actively avoiding work. 
  ✔️ Googled “how to get my life together” at 2 AM while eating cold pizza. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  ✅ A step-by-step guide to pretending you’re working on yourself. 
  ✅ The absolute dumbest life advice you will never follow. 
  ✅ A checklist for success (that will collect dust on your desk). 
  This book will NOT help you: 
  🚫 Get your finances in order. 
  🚫 Find motivation. 
  🚫 Stop dating red flags wrapped in human skin. 
  But it WILL help you laugh at your own failures, which is basically therapy (but cheaper). 
  If you’re tired of reading books that try to fix you, this book is here to roast you instead. 
  📢 Go ahead, buy it. (But let’s be real, you’ll probably never finish it.) 🙃

  It's been a squillion years since Jacinta Nandi arrived in the German capital – and like Jesus, she has suffered, so you don't have to. In this collection of short texts, she'll tell you everything you need to know about stingy male "feminists", oppressive church taxes, unnecessary Anmeldungen – and how to make the perfect German Abendbrot (exhausted cucumbers are key).  
  
  Why are Berlin house numbers so confusing? Why does everyone love dogs and hate babies? And do you really need to learn German to survive in this city?  Join Jacinta on her expatsplaining journey through the German Hauptstadt filled with ketamine and glitter, judgy grannies and scary Beamte, and, of course, Currywurst and pain. A travel guide is nice to have – but this book is essential if you want to survive in Berlin!

Satyrs erstes englischsprachiges Buch versammelt ihre Erkenntnisse über Kirchensteuer, deutsches Abendbrot, rassistische Beamte und den Geiz männlicher Feministen. – Dieses Buch ist der unverzichtbare humoristische Überlebensratgeber für alle Expats und Berlin-Besucher*innen.
