Charles II - George II - Tea...

Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett

Charles Featherstone gleefully narrates the uproarious finale of A’Beckett’s Comic History, skewering Britain’s glorious descent into chaos after Queen Anne. Witness thick-accented German kings fumbling through English, ministers auctioning the nation’s dignity, and England drowning in get-rich-quick scams – all while crinolines expanded and sense evaporated. 
meet George I, shuffling mistresses in and out of palace cupboards while dodging Jacobite assassins; his son George II, shrieking battlefield commands in mangled English (and reportedly dropping his trousers for "luck" mid-cavalry charge); and Britain’s "first" Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, who perfected bribery as statecraft with the immortal quip: "Every man has his price... and mine is remarkably low!" 
Witness the South Sea Bubble—a frenzy of greed that saw nobles and cobblers alike betting fortunes on "vapor and paperwork" until the economy imploded (though London’s wig-makers somehow thrived). Hold your breath as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s tartan-clad Jacobite rebels storm south in the ’45 Rising, only to collapse into farce when the prince reportedly fled a dessert fork "quivering in his pudding." And marvel at Britain’s global gambles: empires built on naval mutinies over rancid limes, colonial cash-grabs, and taxes on everything from windows to gin—all while Germanic kings gazed wistfully toward Saxony. 
Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and The Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and the screwball intrigue of The Favourite, this riotous finale proves Britain’s "Enlightenment" was really enlightened self-interest—a stumble toward greatness paved with blunders, bribes, and enough powdered wigs to choke a horse.

Stinkbug

Sinead Stubbins

‘You're a stinkbug and they're worried if they come near you, your stench will get all over them and they won't be able to wash it off.' 
 
When Edith and a select group of employees at Winked advertising agency are sent to Consequi, an elite three-day work retreat in the remote mountains, she sees an opportunity to impress her bosses and dodge an inevitable restructure. 
 
But this is no ordinary corporate retreat. Trapped together in the revamped convent, the threat of mass redundancy looming over them, their phones confiscated and the team-building activities becoming increasingly extreme, the 'work family's' cracks begin to widen – and Edith has a secret that threatens to make her the office outcast: the stinkbug. When Edith realises there's something suspicious about Consequi, she's faced with a decision: conform and shut up, or accept stinkbug status and find out what's really going on. 
 
In this wildly original and deeply unhinged story, Sinéad Stubbins turns her keen but empathetic eye on the lies we tell about ourselves in order to belong. Part anxious millennial fever dream, part searing workplace satire, this corporate gothic novel is perfect for fans of Yellowface, Nightbitch and Such a Fun Age.

Summary: Lessons in Chemistry -...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the Official Book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the Official Book. 
In this era-defining novel that Stephen King heralded as the "Catch-22 of early feminism," we follow Zott from the lab to the kitchen. The book highlights the strikingly unscientific attitude towards gender equality amongst her male colleagues, save for Calvin Evans, a Nobel-prize nominated intellect who becomes smitten with her sharp mind, sparking undeniable chemistry. 
Life's unpredictability leads Zott from being a single mother to a reluctant star of the beloved cooking show, "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking methods quickly become revolutionary, and as her influence expands, she dares women to challenge the status quo. 
A perfect blend of humor, sharp observations, and a stellar cast of characters, "Lessons in Chemistry" is as captivating and vibrant as its protagonist. It's more than a novel - it's a testament to female empowerment in a time of change.
