Sinopse

Be Like Bill is not only the biggest internet sensation of our time, but he’s also the smartest. He understands what it takes to remain polite and civil in a world where people think it’s ok to post photos of themselves sporting a silly duck face on Instagram, that not using their turn signals while driving is acceptable, and that spending more time on their smartphones than they do with their partners is totally fine.Bill has observed a lot of things about the modern world and through his Facebook page (OfficialBLB) he’s been showing his millions of fans how they might like to reconsider some of their behavior. And now, he’s brought his very best and funniest memes together in this pocket-sized guide to modern life – much of which has never been seen before.

The Story of a Goat - A Novel

Perumal Murugan

“Fantastical . . . Through the thoughts of a rare black goat and the couple who adopt it, readers witness famines, death, and moments of beauty.” —National Geographic

Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature

As he did in the award-winning One Part Woman, Perumal Murugan explores a side of India that is rarely considered in the West: the rural lives of the country’s farming community. He paints a bucolic yet sometimes menacing portrait, showing movingly how danger and deception can threaten the lives of the weakest through the story of a helpless young animal lost in a world it naively misunderstands.

As the novel opens, a mysterious stranger offers a farmer in Tamil Nadu a black goat kid who is the runt of the litter, surely too frail to survive. The farmer and his wife take care of the young she-goat, whom they name Poonachi, and soon the little goat is bounding with joy and growing at a rate they think miraculous for such a small animal. Intoxicating passages from the goat’s perspective offer a bawdy and earthy view of what it means to be an animal and a refreshing portrayal of the natural world. But Poonachi’s life is not destined to be a rural idyll—dangers can lurk around every corner, and may sometimes come from surprising places, including a government that is supposed to protect the weak and needy. Is this little goat too humble a creature to survive such a hostile world?

“The title character of Murugan’s elegant new novel is indeed a joy . . . through Poonachi’s tale we are reminded how much bonds us with the animal world.” —USA Today

Bye Felipe - Disses Dick Pics...

Alexandra Tweten

From the creator of the viral Instagram account comes an empowering guide to navigating the hazards and horrors of online dating. 
After one too many hostile dating app encounters, Alexandra Tweten set up the Instagram account @ByeFelipe, a place for women to protest the horrors of online dating, and to share stories and screenshots of their own experiences. Three years later, the account has become a forum where women can fight back against the men who have made them uncomfortable, scared, and embarrassed—and to laugh at the appalling men they encounter. 
The name of Bye Felipe  is a nod to the "Bye Felicia" meme, which Urban Dictionary defines as a cool dismissal of a noxious person.  In that spirit, the book helps women navigate the perils that come with swiping right and provides practical steps to overcome the harassment rampant in the dating app ether. Blending humor, feminist theory, and solidarity, this "field guide" provides profiles of the worst types of guys (also known as "Felipes")—from the classic fat shamer to the mansplainer to the surprise sociopath—answers questions like "How do I react when a guy sends me a dic pic?," and gives women the tools they need to take control of their dating life. With stories, screenshots, and Riot Grrrl-esque graphic art throughout, Bye Felipe empowers women to stand up for themselves and uphold the confidence and self-worth Felipes try so desperately to steal.
