  This story is Fifty Shades of Grey meets Bridget Jones’s Diary, with a healthy dose of twenty-first century motherhood realness.

She lands on a swinging documentary, and in her tipsy haze finds inspiration. Thrusting past her usually rule following nature, Amy snaps some tawdry selfies and blasts her way onto a swinging hookup app on her phone. When she wakes up the next morning, Will has left early to go fishing and she’s home alone with the kids. It’s not until she’s tended to her toddler and checked on the older two that her phone buzzes with notifications and Amy remembers her late night foray into online swinging.Amy now has a dilemma on her hands. Does she possibly meet with the beautiful and kind couple reaching out to her? Does she take the leap into a world she is tantalized by but knows little to nothing about, risking her ho hum but content life?

  Includes previously unpublished interviews and photos: “His research is extensive, but the overall pace through these two hundred pages is breezy and entertaining.” —Vintage Rock   At a time when acid rock and heavy metal dominated popular music, The Band rebelled against the rebellion with tight ensemble arrangements, masterful musicianship, highly literate lyrics, and a respect for the musical traditions of the American South. Comprised of Canadians Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson, and Arkansas-born Levon Helm, The Band sparked a new appreciation for America’s musical roots, fusing R&B, jump blues, country, folk, boogie-woogie, swing, Cajun, New Orleans-style jazz, and rock, and setting the foundations for the Americana that would take hold thirty years later.   The Band: Pioneers of Americana Music explores the diverse influences on the quintet’s music, and the impact that their music had in turn on contemporary music and American society. Through previously unpublished interviews with Robbie Robertson, Eric Andersen, Pete Seeger, and the late Rick Danko, as well as numerous other sources, Craig Harris surveys The Band’s musical journey from sidemen for, among others, Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to rock legends in their own right.    Touching on the evolution of rock and roll, the electrifying of folk music, unionism, the Civil Rights Movement, changes in radio formatting, shifting perceptions of the American South, and the commercializing of the counterculture, as well as drug dependency, alcoholism, suicide, greed, and the struggle against cancer, Harris takes readers from The Band’s groundbreaking albums, Music from Big Pink and The Band, through their final releases and solo recordings, as well as their historic appearances at Woodstock, the Isle of Wight Festival (with Dylan), Watkins Glen (with the Allman Brothers Band and the Grateful Dead), and the filmed final concert known as the Last Waltz (with an all-star cast). Sixteen previously unpublished photographs, by the author, are included.

  THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Royal Tenenbaums is a quirky comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, centered around the dysfunctional Tenenbaum family. The film follows the lives of three gifted siblings—Chas, Margot, and Richie—who experience early success but later face personal struggles and failure. Their eccentric father, Royal, returns to their lives, claiming he has a terminal illness, and attempts to reconcile with his children and ex-wife. The film explores themes of family dysfunction, lost potential, and redemption, with Anderson’s signature use of dry humor, visual symmetry, and an eclectic soundtrack, creating a deeply emotional yet whimsical narrative. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The hand shown with a BB lodged between its knuckles does not belong to Ben Stiller, but rather to Andrew Wilson, Owen and Luke Wilson's brother. When they were children, Owen shot a BB gun at Andrew's hand, and the BB remained there ever since.” 
    
  “The original hawk that played Mordecai was kidnapped during production and held for ransom. Due to time constraints, the production used a different bird with more white feathers as a replacement.” 
    
  “Gene Hackman revealed in interviews that he hesitated to take the role because he felt he had been insensitive to his own family at times. He asked them whether they would feel uncomfortable with him playing the character. They encouraged him to accept the role.”

  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.
