Kim is not your average member of Her Majesty’s palace staff – but then he shouldn’t be on the staff at all. He’s in fact a Sun staff reporter who’s wormed his way into Buckingham Palace to pick up every bit of dirt and gossip that he can lay his hands on. 
Along the way, Kim is faced with many surprising aspects of Palace life that even he didn’t see coming. 
 
Based on the true story of the tabloid hack who became a Queen’s footman, Palace Rogue is a charming, uplifting and utterly outrageous story of love and secrets – all of it set in the heart of one of the world’s most famous houses.

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."

When seasoned journalist Jack Mcenroe leaves his town for the bustling city, he's driven by one thing: escaping the corruption that's plagued his home for years. But when fate brings him back, Jack discovers a shocking truth—his closest friend, the one person he thought he could trust, is deeply entangled in the very illegal activities he once fought to expose. 
Caught between loyalty and justice, Jake makes a choice. This will be his last hurrah, the story that defines his career—and possibly his life. With everything on the line, Jake plunges into a dangerous investigation, unraveling a web of deceit, betrayal, and power that runs deeper than he ever imagined. 
In a battle where every decision costs him something, Jack must decide: will he stand for truth, even if it means losing everything, including his oldest friend? 
The Last Hurrah is a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unwavering pursuit of justice, perfect for those who love high-stakes drama and morally complex characters.
