  Felicia Scalding is a still-recognizable 1990s ex-popstar who is in a state of mental and financial desperation. Hard working, street smart and intelligent, but flawed. Gripped by a gambling addiction, and keen to rediscover the limelight after becoming the subject of a viral dance meme, she accepts a chance offer to resurrect her fame & fortune as a judge on TV talent show, QuickFame. 
  QuickFame tracks her desperate to rebuild her life and career, lost through betrayal and addiction by secretly directing a manufactured boyband through the competition. 
  Being on the TV talent show reveals ambitions and secrets of each of the members of the boy band, #Five, led by genderqueer heartthrob Layton Coy, as well as memorable QuickFame contestants and their entourages. In a piggybacking of fortunes, others begin to hitch their stars to Felicia, while she, in turn, parasitically attaches herself to the seemly misdirected but talented boyband. This ensemble’s fortunes are intertwined for career and coin in the pursuit of their own fifteen minutes of fame.

  Read the only book containing an appendix of eye losses, makes reference to hand gel depicting a gay assassin, and to compare a group of all-women Japanese comic book artists to a German electronic band. 
  In early 2020, Ian Wolf - manga critic in print and online, autistic comedic data specialist, and some time question writer for Richard Osman's House of Games - decided that the best way to keep himself occupied while Britain was in Covid lockdown was to write a humorous book about his favorite manga artists - CLAMP... the women behind such works as Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHOLiC, X and Magic Knight Rayearth. 
  If you want to find out why the cases of the CLAMP School Detectives sound like challenges from Taskmaster, why almost everything in Magic Knight Rayearth is named after a car, why the British Museum illustrated their manga exhibit using the soft-core lesbian manga Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, or why the Cardcaptor Sakura Kinomoto's best friend has more than a whiff of The Fast Show's 13th Duke of Wybourne about her, this is the book for you.

  Caring for an aging parent can feel overwhelming, confusing, heartbreaking, and-yes-unexpectedly funny. Caring for Aging Parents Without Losing Your Mind! is a witty, heartfelt, and deeply relatable guide for adults who are already caring for an aging parent-or sensing their time is quickly approaching. 
  Blending creative nonfiction, laugh-out-loud storytelling, and practical caregiving support, Shannon West offers a refreshing take on what it really means to navigate eldercare while juggling a household, holding down a career, supporting kids, and trying to keep a tiny spark of your own sanity (and sexy) intact. 
  You'll learn how to communicate with compassion, listen with intention, and collaborate instead of control during moments that range from subtly concerning to "Did that really just happen?" calamity. From handling role reversal and caregiver burnout to mastering medical advocacy, medication reminders, and those emotional "shift hit the fan" moments, this book gives you the tools and humor you need to keep going. 
  Along the way, West shares candid experiences that echo what so many adult children quietly feel: the grief, the love, the nostalgia, the frustration, and the unmistakable pull of wanting to show up for the people who once showed up for us. Whether you're knee-deep in caring for your parents or preparing for the day you become their go-to, this book reminds you that you're not alone. You'll laugh, feel seen, take a deep breath, empathize, and come away with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of connection with your aging parent-and with yourself. 
  Perfect for readers seeking emotional wellness, aging parent support, eldercare guidance, 80s/90s nostalgia, humor, and real-life caregiving stories that make the chaos feel endurable.

  The New York Times–bestselling parody of Voltaire’s Candide that was banned in France and went on to become a salacious cult classic. Candy is a perfect, idealistic, innocent girl, born on Valentine’s Day, which, her daddy says, is why she’s so beautiful. At college in Racine, Wisconsin, she listens earnestly to Professor Mephisto’s lecture on philosophy and how “deep and aching are the needs of man”—and takes his pronouncement to heart. She will dedicate the rest of her days to bringing the sweet balm of her warmth to all those lonely men on her arduous path to spiritual enlightenment—a hunchback, a crazed gynecologist in a bar bathroom, her father’s lecherous twin brother, her guru at the nutty Cracker Foundation . . . It is in Tibet, during an earthquake, that Candy will finally find full . . . enlightenment. This rollicking tale, by a duo of authors including the legendary Dr. Strangelove screenwriter who also wrote for Saturday Night Live and toured with the Rolling Stones over the course of his colorful career, is, in the words of William Styron, “wickedly funny to read and morally bracing as only good satire can be.”This ebook features an illustrated biography of Terry Southern including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate and an extended biography of Mason Hoffenberg.
