  Cancel Culture Dictionary -...

  INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  You may know Jimmy Failla as the best dressed man in cable news. A force multiplier of positive energy on the radio who sounds like he gets paid in Tequila and Tide Pods. But he’s also a former New York City Taxi Driver who’s spent countless hours conversing with people from all over this planet and several planets you’ve never heard of.  It’s those chats with hobbits, hookers, and time travelers that fill The Cancel Culture Dictionary with the unique perspective and savage self-awareness we need to escape the outrage era society is stuck in.  
  Let’s face it. Life in this country was WAY better before the Smart Phone came along and made us infinitely dumber. Social Media has turned our “shining city on a hill” into a Real Housewives episode on Bravo where every day is a constant cat fight about politics. Weaponized censorship and runaway speech policing has left many people unable to tell the difference between a comedian and a criminal. Although to be fair, sometimes they’re the same, in Bill Cosby’s case.  
  But if there’s one thing we can all be sure of, it’s that spending the past 10 years with our faces glued to our phones has made us crankier, crazier, and much fatter, despite what the Instagram Filters show you. 
  This book is a collection of naughty jokes and nutty people whose stories guide us to a world where we don’t spend all day slugging it out on Twitter, X, or whatever dumb name Elon Musk gives it next time he gets stoned. No, it's not an actual dictionary, although the author should probably spend more time reading one. Think of it as a ridiculous roadmap to a time where life didn’t revolve around the Republican Party and the Democratic Party because we were all too focused on The Keg Party. And unlike other works devoted to the cancel craze, we'll show how the people who lost the most with each celebrity firing were everyday Americans who had nothing to do with it. 
  Cancel Culture and the outrage era have dragged us all into a war on fun. But this book is not a call to arms, girlfriend. If anything, it’s a call to chill the f**k out.  
  So hop in, shut the door, and don’t waste time fiddling with the seatbelt. The way we’re about to drive, it can’t help you anyway.

  A college instructor embarks on a fanatical quest to save his job—and enact righteous revenge—in this brilliantly acerbic satire of university politics during the early Cold War years
  
  Henry Mulcahy's future is in question. An instructor of literature at Jocelyn College, an institute of higher learning renowned for its progressive approach to education, he has just received word that he will not be teaching next semester. He strongly suspects that his dismissal has been engineered by his nemesis, the college president, who Henry believes resents his superior skills as an educator. Or perhaps he is being targeted by the government in this Cold War era, now that Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunt is in full swing, especially since Henry's dedication to independent thinking is, he believes, renowned. Whatever the case, Henry Mulcahy wants justice—and vengeance—and he will not go quietly without a fight. But the battle might expose too much of Henry's true nature . . .
  
  
  Witty and biting, Mary McCarthy's The Groves of Academe is a deliciously pointed satire of the world of higher education and its petty despots, tiny wars, and internal politics.
  
  
  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author's estate.

  “I Wear My Cape Under My Dress” is the kind of memoir that will make you laugh, cry, and occasionally wonder if you’re wearing your own cape—and why you didn’t get the memo about being a superhero in your everyday life. 
  Stacey pulls back the curtain on her life with humor, grace, and raw honesty, diving into everything from the messy, beautiful moments of motherhood to the complicated love of self-acceptance. With a healthy dose of wit and a sprinkle of sass, she proves that even in the most chaotic chapters, there’s always room for a little laughter—and a lot of grace. 
  This audiobook is a heartfelt and hilarious journey through pain, healing, and the absurdity of life. If you’ve ever faced a tough break, had your heart broken, or simply had a meltdown over spilled coffee, you’ll feel right at home. Stacey’s voice will remind you that even in your darkest moments, you're still worthy of love—and a really strong cup of coffee. 
  “I Wear My Cape Under My Dress” is more than a story of survival—it’s a reminder that sometimes, being a superhero is just about showing up with your messy hair, your coffee-stained shirt, and a heart that’s still willing to love. 
  So buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride—and there will be laughter along the way. (And maybe a few tears, too. But mostly laughter.)

  The uplifting love story, guaranteed to make you smile from the bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
  Wedding planner Madeleine lives in a picture-perfect thatched cottage, in a picture-perfect English country village. 
  There’s only one problem - dream cottages take a lot of work, and with a leaking roof, and not enough money to pay for it, what Maddie needs now is a big wedding to plan. 
  So she’s delighted when she takes on the wedding of Californian heiress Peyton, to all-round good guy Patrick. She’s less delighted to find out that she's going to have help – from the admittedly gorgeous, but equally maddening, tall, dark and handsome best man Lorcan. 
  The wedding is set to take place in a castle in rural Ireland, and so, in no time, Maddie and Lorcan are on their way to Ballalee. Life hasn’t always been easy for Maddie, and work has become her refuge. But soon the warmth and humour of Lorcan’s Irish family and friends start to chip away at Maddie’s walls. And as the big day approaches, it might be time for Maddie to focus less on her clients’ love life and more on her own…
