Summary

Helen Bradshaw isn't exactly living out her dreams. She's a lowly assistant editor at GirlTime magazine, she drives an ancient Toyota, and she has a history of choosing men who fall several thousand feet below acceptable boyfriend standard. Not to mention that she shares an apartment with a scruffy , tactless roommate, her best girlfriends are a little too perfect, and the most affectionate male in her life—her cat, Fatboy—occasionally pees in her underwear draw. 
Then Helen gets the telephone call she least expects: Her father has had a massive heart attack. Initially brushing off his death as merely an interruption in her already chaotic life (they were never very close, after all), Helen is surprised to find everything else starting to crumble around her. Her pushy mother is coming apart at the seams, a close friend might be heading toward tragedy, and, after the tequila incident, it looks as though Tom the vet will be sticking with Dalmatians. Turns out getting over it isn't going to be quite as easy as she thought.

    "The Man Who Was Thursday" - described as a metaphysical thriller - is an stunning work of detective fiction by the great G.K. Chesterton that follows the adventures of Gabriel Syme, an undercover detective who infiltrates a secret anarchist organization known as "The Council of the Seven Days."  Run by seven men (each of whom uses a separate day of the week as their code name), Syme attempts to destroy the Council and reveal the identity of its leaders, but soon discovers the real threat is not who it originally appeared to be. A one-of-a-kind literary achievement, "The Man Who Was Thursday" is at times hilarious, thrilling, bizarre and baffling and has been a favorite of detective and mystery fans for over a century.  This is a SoundCraft Audiobooks production, audio enhanced with music and sound effects.  It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    Dear Clementina is a collection of humorous letters from Stanley, a bemused - and at times bewildered - puppy to his pal Clementina. In each missive, Stanley strives to explain and interpret the complexities of life as he encounters them during his first year, and does so with a comic insight which is reserved for the innocent observer - an insight which will be appreciated by anyone with a sense of humour, or a dog, or preferably both.

Hello, grown-ups of all ages! In this book, you’ll find bite-sized bursts of advice and quirky illustrations celebrating your status as an adult, no matter how long you’ve officially been one.

This lighthearted book provides both wisdom and skills for making the most of the post-childhood years, from the ten things you actually need in the kitchen, to the perils of perfectionism (get a lot more comfortable with being wrong), to the best way of opening a champagne bottle. With these handy tips, you can get more of the benefits of adulthood—and less of the bummers.
