  If It's Not One Thing It's Your...

  Julia Sweeney

  “Riotously candid essays” on topics from international adoption to late-night bonding with customer service reps by the beloved comedian (Booklist). 
   
  Julia Sweeney, famous for her one-woman shows, NPR appearances, and four-season stint on Saturday Night Live, spent some time out of the spotlight when she adopted a Chinese girl named Mulan (“After the movie?”) and then, a few years later, married and moved from Los Angeles to Chicago, where she lived the suburban domestic life. In this delightful collection, she writes about the decision to become a mother, strollers, nannies (including the Chinese Pat), knitting, being adopted by a dog, The Food Network, and meeting Mr. Right through an email from a complete stranger who wrote, “Desperately Seeking Sweeney-in-Law.” She recounts how she explained the facts of life to nine-year-old Mulan, a story that became a wildly popular TED talk and YouTube video. 
   
  Also revealed in these essays is Julia’s ability to find that essential thread of human connection, whether it’s with her mother-in-law, who candidly reveals a story most people would keep a secret, or an anonymous customer service rep during a late-night phone call. But no matter what the topic, she always writes with elegant precision, pinning her jokes with razor-sharp observations while articulating feelings that we all share. Poignant, provocative, and wise, this is a funny, powerful memoir by a woman living her life with originality and intelligence. 
   
  “Julia Sweeney can you make you laugh about anything. . . . Wry and honest.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune 
   
  “Intimate and humorous . . . Sweeney’s devilish sense of humor successfully makes the transition to the page, linking the scenes of her life as daughter, sister, wife, and mother into a delightful whole.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  “Outlandishly funny . . . For every mother who could use a laugh—in other words, every mother.” —Tampa Bay Times

  A renowned food writer’s personal cookbook for her sons became this classic collection of simple seafood recipes and much more from around the world.    When her sons inherited their father’s childhood home in a Cornish fishing village—formerly a commercial building for storing and packing pilchards—renowned food writer Lindsey Bareham decided it was important to record some of the recipes and memories from this extraordinary place. It started as a notebook for her sons, with lists of favorite ways to cook mackerel, monkfish, and sole, as well as how to make mayonnaise to go with the gift of a handsome crab or crayfish. But soon it grew to become this very special book, full of recollections and anecdotes, and fabulous holiday food.   Although the setting is of English, Bareham’s recipes draw on influences from around the world, including Portugal (Portuguese Cabbage Soup with Rosemary Bruschetta), Italy (Red Mullet Wrapped in Parma Ham with Garlic and Rosemary) and Turkey (Spiced Aubergine Salad with Cumin). There are chapters on eggs, chicken, lamb, vegetables, and, of course, puddings, alongside a wonderful collection of recipes for fish of all kinds. This is a cookbook classic that food lovers will enjoy reading as much as they enjoy cooking and eating it’s wonderful creations.

  These bizarre true stories of collectors and their cars is "a whole lot of fun" (The Virginian Pilot). 
   
  Have you heard of the fellow who squirrelled away dozens of Chevelles, Camaros, and other classic muscle cars in semi-trailers? How about the president of Shakespeare fishing rods, who sold thirty Bugattis for a mere $85,000? What about the English nobleman who cut up and buried his Ferrari hoard in an elaborate insurance scam? Or how about the Duesenberg abandoned in a Manhattan parking garage for decades only to be uncovered by Jay Leno?  
   
  Most car collectors exhibit a healthy enthusiasm for their hobby by digging into their favorite marques, chasing parts, swapping stories, and generally living the car-guy lifestyle. Some, however, step over that fine line between enthusiasm and obsession—and that's where these legendary car-collector stories come from. In Strange but True Tales of Car Collecting, Keith Martin and the staff of Sports Car Market Magazine recount the wildest, most eccentric, over-the-top stories of collectors and their collections. 
   
  "This likable book serves as a ‚ÄòRipley's Believe It or Not!' for car obsessives." —The New York Times
