Synopsis

In "Baled Hay: A Drier Book than Walt Whitman's 'Leaves o' Grass,'" Bill Nye delivers a clever and satirical exploration of rural American life and the complexities of agriculture. Through a series of humorous essays and observations, Nye employs a conversational tone that dances between the playful and the poignant, reminiscent of 19th-century literary humor. His work serves not only as a reflection of the agrarian society of his time but also engages with broader themes of nature, labor, and the American identity, making it a noteworthy contribution to the genre of pastoral literature. Bill Nye, an esteemed humorist and writer from the late 19th century, drew inspiration from his own experiences living in the American West. His background as a farmer and his keen appreciation for the natural world informed his writing, allowing him to authentically capture the essence of rural life. Nye's penchant for wit and satire reveals societal truths that resonate even today, making his work both enjoyable and thought-provoking. "Baled Hay" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate humor interwoven with insightful commentary on agricultural practices and rural existence. Nye's unique voice and perspective make this book a timeless read, appealing to those seeking both amusement and a deeper understanding of the human experience within the American landscape.

    It’s the most anticipated, and perhaps controversial, event of the decade—Lou and Bob’s wedding—and everyone is invited. But the relative peace and tranquility of 44 Scotland Street is about to be disrupted. Outspoken Irene is returning home for a two-month stay, with plans to send young Bertie

    And what of Bruce Anderson who, after a lightning strike, has developed an unfamiliar personality and outlook? His newfound perspective will be put to the test as he prepares to abandon all creature comforts for a life of monastic simplicity. His house sitter, Borthy Borthwick, meanwhile, gets a little too  
    comfortable in his new surroundings and discovers that his talented patron’s shoes are all too easy to slip into. With great taste comes great responsibility.  
     
    Though the personal lives of this lovable cast may twist and turn in unexpected ways, one thing always remains certain—home is where the heart is. And that heart lies at 44 Scotland Street.

    The feelgood, romance, guaranteed to make you smile from bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
    Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. 
    Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her.  
    Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. 
    The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up. Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…

    The pandemic has been with us for what seems like forever. And every day seems like Groundhog Day! You wake up. You eat. You Zoom with colleagues. You send emails. You binge watch television. You feed the dog. You ponder buying bitcoin or dogecoin for your four-legged best friend. And then the next day you do it all over again. This is not the life you or your dog expected. You both need more. 
     
     
     
    Your lab, pug, or poodle was happy when you stopped going to the office. But, frankly, after all these months of having you home, he is over it. What does your dog think? Probably just what laugh-out-loud canine humorist Bark Twain thinks: 
     
     
     
    ● Go the Bark to Work. You've been home for months and you're cramping my style. 
     
     
     
    ● Go the Bark to Work. I need to get with the poodle next door! 
     
     
     
    ● Go the Bark to Work. You need a shave—I'm afraid you have fleas! 
     
     
     
    With this funny opus, Bark Twain joins the pantheon of famous dogs who bring joy to our lives. Move over Snoopy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Benji, Beethoven, and Lassie; Bark Twain is funnier, snarkier, and more street savvy than you'll ever be. And you just need to . . . Go the Bark to Work! 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
