This story includes the famous line "Death cancels all engagements" and presents a corrosive view of Edwardian Oxford. The Modern Library ranked Zuleika Dobson 59th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It was Beerbohm's only novel, but was nonetheless very successful.

    The phenomenally popular artist wittily reveals the realities behind images of perfect women in midcentury marketing.   We can’t be good all the time, and no one knows it better than Anne Taintor. This generous collection of her most popular artwork includes more than 150 images in categories such as friendship (a real friend will help you hide the body), motherhood (WOW! I get to give birth AND change diapers!), money (screw the budget!), attitude (let a smirk be your umbrella), and more.   Also featuring an introduction by Taintor, this hilarious volume perfectly captures the deliciously sarcastic, snarky, and honest things that most women have found themselves thinking at one time or another. If you’re looking for trouble, look no further. . . .

    Normally, Mareike Korn would find a lengthy visit to a foreign land thrilling. Making the trip when she’s twenty-six weeks pregnant is another matter. But when her husband’s job is temporarily relocated to the USA, keeping her family together in the late stages of her pregnancy becomes more important than being a stranger in a new place.  
To keep herself sane through the ups and downs of her adventure, Mareike chronicles her experience in her bullet journal. The panic of impending parenthood. Awkward faux pas in a new culture. Getting lost on practically every outing. Whether good, bad, or hilarious, Mareike jots it down for posterity.  
When the experience ends, will looking back allow her to see the beauty of the customs and traditions she uncovered in the mundane of daily life? Or will nostalgia for all she’s been missing prove there truly is no place like home?
