  Winner of the 2023 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Achievement in Audiobook Production."Throughout, narrator Dion Graham sustains an authentic cool. His voice subtly slows down, pauses, and cracks as Stone expounds upon his older years. It’s a kind of music unto itself." —AudioFileCombining three never-before-heard songs, jingles from when Sly was a DJ on KSOL, and a legendary story, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) is an all-encompassing audio experience.One of the few indisputable geniuses of pop music, Sly Stone is a trailblazer and a legend. He created a new kind of music, mixing Black and white, male and female, funk and rock. As a songwriter, he penned some of the most iconic anthems of the 1960s and ’70s, from “Everyday People” to “Family Affair.” As a performer, he electrified audiences with a persona and stage presence that set a lasting standard for pop-culture performance.Yet his life has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of the spotlight as for what put him there in the first place. People know the music, but the man remains a mystery. In Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), his much-anticipated memoir, he’s finally ready to share his story—a story that many thought he’d never have the chance to tell.Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson, among others, and created in collaboration with Sly Stone’s manager, Arlene Hirschkowitz, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) includes a foreword by Questlove.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.

  An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
   
   
   
  Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
   
   
   
  The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."

  BIRDMAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Birdman (2014), directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, follows Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor known for his role as the superhero "Birdman." Struggling with his past fame, Riggan attempts to reinvent himself by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway play. The film explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the pressures of fame, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Shot in long takes to create the illusion of a single continuous scene, Birdman delves into the complexities of artistic expression, personal redemption, and the challenges of escaping the shadows of past successes. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The movie was rehearsed and shot in sequence, so the editing process only took two weeks." 
    
  "Only sixteen visible cuts can be found in the entire film." 
    
  "During filming, Edward Norton and Michael Keaton kept track of the actors' flubs, with Emma Stone making the most errors and Zach Galifianakis the fewest." 
    
  "Much of the film was shot inside Broadway's St. James Theatre, where the actors had to deliver up to fifteen pages of dialogue in one take while hitting precisely choreographed marks." 
    
  "Edward Norton's character parodies his own reputation for being difficult to work with, similar to the way Michael Keaton's Birdman mirrors his earlier role as Batman."
