  A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! 
   
   
   
  Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. 
   
   
   
  On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. 
   
    
   
  This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius," a "national treasure," and "one of the funniest writers alive."

  Big Words Small Ideas - From...

  If you’ve ever read a philosophy paper and wondered, “Did they really need that many syllables to say absolutely nothing?”—this book is for you. 
  Sophia Anne Blackwell, the wildly irreverent creator of the Cogito Ergo Nope! series, returns with her most hilariously scathing book yet: a no-holds-barred takedown of philosophy’s greatest (and most obscurantist) offenders. From the ancient Greeks who invented making things harder than they need to be, to French theorists who turned not making sense into a career, Big Words, Small Ideas traces the glorious tradition of intellectual smoke and mirrors with biting wit and actual clarity. 
  In this book, you’ll meet: 
  Plato, who decided the real world was just a sad knockoff of Ideas That Don’t Exist 
  Aristotle, who invented philosophical filing cabinets with seventeen drawers too many 
  Plotinus, who tried to write about the indescribable in several hundred pages 
  Kant, who made thinking about thinking so hard you’d wish you never started 
  Hegel, the man who weaponized run-on sentences 
  Heidegger, who wrote an entire book about Being without explaining what Being means 
  And a whole cast of modern academics who think obscurity = genius 
  With ruthless humor, surprising accuracy, and zero patience for jargon masquerading as depth, Blackwell takes you on a tour through the theater of philosophical absurdity—and dares to ask the forbidden question: What the hell are they actually talking about? 
  Whether you’re a recovering philosophy major, a curious outsider, or just someone who’s tired of pretending to understand Lacan, this book is your guide to 3,000 years of intellectual gaslighting—with jokes.

  How to behave abnormal?

  How to Behave Abnormal? is a hilariously eye-catching book cover designed in bold black text on a vibrant yellow background. The playful and chaotic theme is emphasized by a cartoonish, wild-haired lady holding an oversized syringe with a crazed expression, suggesting unpredictable behavior or satirical madness. The word "ABNORMAL¿" is flipped upside down, adding to the sense of confusion and rebellion against norms. With the author's name, "bArAkAtH", creatively stylized at the bottom, the cover sets the tone for an unconventional, humorous, and possibly outrageous take on social behavior. Perfect for readers who enjoy quirky, offbeat humor and satire.

  Shopping for a Highlander

  I’m a professional chickenblocker. Except “chicken” is a euphemism. I get paid to follow a womanizing troglodyte who thinks rules are for other people and that my pants are the next pair he’s getting into. Dream on. Bet your first professional job didn’t involve babysitting an extremely hot, muscle-bound Scottish Highlander with an ego the size of a kilt and a libido bigger than his…well… Chicken. Keeping Scottish football (that’s ‘soccer” to us Americans) player Hamish McCormick away from inappropriate scandals while he does product endorsement campaigns is my mission. No problem. Until Hamish decides I’m his next scandal. And maybe more…. Shopping for a Highlander is an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn romance that opens with a surprise kiss and ends with a happily ever after. This sports comedy in the New York Times bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire world contains no actual chickens, but it has plenty of locker room scenes, a fake relationship, very real banter, and more. You do not have to have read the previous books in this world, though after you read about Amy and Hamish, you’ll want to. ;)

  I Am Like This Only!

  Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
  Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
  In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
  I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
  Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
  Warm regards,
