  Benjamin lives with a name he hates in a run-down San Francisco apartment, until his brother Billy finds him. Billy's a shattered war veteran who sleeps under a bridge with his loyal band of phone thieves, trying to avoid the police and the VA. 
  Thirty years earlier, Benjamin had an Ivy League degree and was getting noticed for his Peace Corps work on the Ecuadorian coast. But Felicia also noticed, seducing him into a life of cajoling secrets from others to be peddled worldwide to the highest bidder. Felicia's talented protégé lived a privileged life until he made a mistake and had to flee with the name Gloria. 
  Now he can only help Billy if he becomes Benjamin again, which means finding Felicia and fixing the mess he left behind. Benjamin eventually finds her, sightless, living in Mexico City. He agrees to be her eyes on a final road trip through Latin America in exchange for his restored identity, but Benjamin sees more than he ever could imagine. 
  The Server is filled with dark humor, and some people may find the images of sexual assault and drug use triggering.

Whether you're a baseball fanatic or just a fan of sports history, this book captures the spirit of the game. 
  This compendium of minor league shenanigans includes:HOLE IN ONE: In 1942, a Milwaukee Brewers batter hit a low line drive that bounced down the right field line. He rounded the bases while confused Louisville Colonels fielders searched for the ball. They eventually found it inside a gopher hole.MONKEYING AROUND: A chimp's escape turned a Southern Association game into pandemonium on July 17, 1909. "Henry the Chimpanzee," the New Orleans Pelicans' official mascot, busted from his cage and chased players around the field. The chimp then went after fans, who ran from him screaming. The game was delayed a few minutes while Henry was restrained.HEADLESS CRUSHER: A police department in Ohio got a call about a missing head. The Lake Erie Crushers' mascot's head was stolen in 2011, forcing the mascot to miss a few home games. After learning through media reports that police were investigating, the thief returned the head by inconspicuously placing it under the ballpark's tarp.

  New York Times bestselling author Ali Wentworth offers her hilarious and unique advice on surviving the absurdity of modern life in her third collection of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. 
  Ali Wentworth’s first two books, Ali in Wonderland and Happily Ali After, were lauded by readers, critics, and fellow comedians alike. Entertainment Weekly included Happily Ali After on its ""Must List"" and hailed it as ""hilarious. . . . Her glass isn’t half full—it’s ""empty and cracked,"" while Cosmopolitan praised it as ""razor-sharp."" Chelsea Handler called Ali in Wonderland ""truly hilarious,"" and Kathy Griffin christened it, ""Chicken Soup for the Vagina."" Alec Baldwin has described Ali as ""funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth,"" and Jerry Seinfeld has raved, ""Everything that comes out of Ali Wentworth’s mouth is funny!"" 
  At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and far-fetched, this third collection offers Ali at her wisest and wittiest as she delivers tips, pointers, and quips on a host of life’s conundrums and sticky situations, including the funny, sometimes embarrassing yet unforgettable situations that have shaped her inimitable world view as a wife, mother, actress, comedian, and all around bon vivant.

  It's a truth often acknowledged that when a Jane Austen fan girl ends up living next door to a cynical but handsome crime writer, romantic sparks will fly! 
  When Maddy Shaw is told her Dear Jane column has been cancelled she has no choice but to look outside of London’s rental market. That is until she’s left an idyllic country home by the black sheep of the family, long-not-so-lost Cousin Nigel. 
  But of course there’s a stipulation… and not only is Maddy made chair of the committee for the annual village literary festival, she also has to put up with bestselling crime author –and romance sceptic – Cameron Massey as her new neighbour. 
  When Maddy challenges Cameron to write romantic fiction, which he claims is so easy to do, sparks fly both on and off the page…
