  My Diary of Failures: The 1980s and 1990s is a laugh-out-loud memoir that dives headfirst into the chaotic, awkward, and hilariously messy life of Kimberly Dennis. Growing up in Brooklyn during the 1980s, Kimberly navigates middle school embarrassments, disastrous family outings, and the relentless horrors of teenage fashion. By the 1990s, she's fumbling through early adulthood with a cocktail of bad decisions, failed jobs, and cringe-worthy dating misadventures—all while trying to figure out what it really means to be an adult. 
  With razor-sharp wit and unfiltered honesty, Kimberly turns her relentless string of failures into relatable, comedic triumphs. From triggering fire alarms in a college dorm to a Y2K party that ends in total disaster, her life is a series of "what not to do" moments that will leave you laughing, cringing, and rooting for her all at once. 
  This book is for anyone who's ever felt like they were one bad decision away from chaos—or who just needs a reminder that failure can be pretty damn funny.

  The pandemic has been with us for what seems like forever. And every day seems like Groundhog Day! You wake up. You eat. You Zoom with colleagues. You send emails. You binge watch television. You feed the dog. You ponder buying bitcoin or dogecoin for your four-legged best friend. And then the next day you do it all over again. This is not the life you or your dog expected. You both need more. 
   
   
   
  Your lab, pug, or poodle was happy when you stopped going to the office. But, frankly, after all these months of having you home, he is over it. What does your dog think? Probably just what laugh-out-loud canine humorist Bark Twain thinks: 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. You've been home for months and you're cramping my style. 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. I need to get with the poodle next door! 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. You need a shave—I'm afraid you have fleas! 
   
   
   
  With this funny opus, Bark Twain joins the pantheon of famous dogs who bring joy to our lives. Move over Snoopy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Benji, Beethoven, and Lassie; Bark Twain is funnier, snarkier, and more street savvy than you'll ever be. And you just need to . . . Go the Bark to Work!

  Plutus

  Aristophanes

  In Plutus, Aristophanes delivers a comedic yet thought-provoking critique of social inequality and the moral values of Athenian society. The play centers on Chremylus, a righteous but impoverished man who, with the help of his slave and the god Hermes, seeks to correct the divine error that has left the good poor and the wicked rich. Their solution? Restore sight to Plutus, the blind god of wealth, so he can distribute riches more justly. When the plan succeeds, the results upend traditional hierarchies, sparking chaos among the powerful and privileged. Through sharp satire, farcical scenes, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes questions the relationship between wealth, virtue, and justice. A late work in his career, Plutus blends humor with philosophical inquiry, offering a vivid reflection on economic fairness, human greed, and the role of the gods in worldly affairs.

  Read This to Look Cool - Essays...

  This book won't fix you, but imagine how cool you'll look carrying it around . . . 
   
  Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been . . . mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she's one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word "bespoke," and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?). 
   
  With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures―like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic―and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites listeners into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility. 
   
  Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It's a book that says "I see you" and also "Don't look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird."
