Sinossi

In her delightful novel "Betsey Bobbett," Marietta Holley offers a vibrant portrayal of a spirited young woman navigating the complexities of rural life in late 19th-century America. This text showcases Holley's signature wit and keen social commentary, employing a blend of humor and earnestness that exemplifies the literary realism characteristic of her era. Through the lens of Betsey's experiences, Holley addresses themes such as gender roles, social expectations, and personal agency, inviting readers into the rich tapestry of small-town dynamics while reflecting the changing societal landscape of her time. Marietta Holley, often hailed as the "Mark Twain of womanhood," was a strong advocate for women's rights and a prolific author whose works resonate with the concerns of her contemporaries. Her upbringing in a rural community and her passionate involvement in social reform movements profoundly influenced her writing. "Betsey Bobbett" is a testament to her ability to intertwine humor with serious social critique, drawing on her own experiences as a daughter, sister, and advocate for women's issues. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, and those who appreciate a nuanced understanding of early American life. Holley's masterful blend of hilarity and poignancy makes "Betsey Bobbett" a compelling read that enlightens and entertains, shedding light on the resilience and individuality of women's voices in history.

    Are you tired of feeling things? Do you want to stop caring about life’s endless nonsense? Congratulations—you’re ready for Stoicism. 
    Life is a relentless parade of disasters, disappointments, and idiots who won’t shut up. And yet, most people spend their days panicking, complaining, and overreacting—wasting precious energy on things they can’t control. A true Stoic? They sip their coffee in complete silence while the world crumbles around them. 
    This book will teach you the fine art of emotional detachment so that nothing—not traffic, not heartbreak, not even the impending collapse of civilization—can shake you. 
    Inside, You’ll Learn: 
    💀 How to wake up every morning knowing that today will be a mess—and being fine with it 
    💀 The “Meh” response system for handling everything from job loss to bad WiFi 
    💀 Why material things are pointless (but also, let’s be real, heated car seats are amazing) 
    💀 How to pretend to listen while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
    💀 How to master the blank, expressionless stare that makes people deeply uncomfortable 
    💀 Why billionaires would be happier living in a cave (but you still need rent money, so don’t do that) 
    💀 The nightly ritual of contemplating death so you can sleep like a sociopath 
    This is not a self-help book. This is a self-detachment book. If you’re ready to become an unshakable force of calm indifference, to stop letting life stress you out, and to fully embrace the Stoic art of not giving a single damn, this is the book for you. 
    ☠️ WARNING: Reading this book may cause: 
    ✔️ A total loss of interest in pointless drama 
    ✔️ An inability to react to nonsense, even when expected to 
    ✔️ People wondering if you’re deeply enlightened or just emotionally broken

    Have you ever faced a weird situation, encountered a particularly difficult person or tackled a tough task and said to yourself, "you gotta be kidding me!" 
    "You Gotta Be Kidding Me!" tells the sometimes hilarious, sometimes embarrassing and sometimes sad stories of a hyperindependent woman navigating life on her own. 
    The stories include the unexpected hellscape of simply having a refrigerator delivered, the struggles of facing the 2020 pandemic solo, and the stress of taking on the care of 8 cats after the author's mother passed away. 
    A relatable story can not only pass the time, but also get you through a depressing or difficult situation in your life. And a good story can be about everyday life scenarios that many of us go through, whether it’s with family members, strangers, friends, co-workers, pets, retail workers, managing a household, or dealing with loss. 
    These stories might make you laugh, smile, gasp, cry or shake your head. It's the perfect book to turn on when you're driving, working or taking a walk through the park.

    On her 30th birthday, Yale-educated Zoe Greene was supposed to be married to her high-school sweetheart, pregnant with their first baby, and practicing law in Chicago. Instead, she's planning an abortion and filing for divorce. Zoe wants to understand why her plans failed—and to move on, have sex, and date while there's still time. As she navigates dysfunctional penises, a paucity of grammatically sound online-dating profiles, and her paralyzing fear of aging alone, she also grapples with the pressure women feel to put others first. Ultimately, Zoe's family, friends, incomparable therapist, and diary of never-to-be-sent letters to her first loves, and the rock band U2, help her learn to let go—of society's constructs of female happiness, and of her own.

    She’s a wager, a game… 
    I’ll pretend she’s mine, such a pretty little lie. 
    I’m exactly the type of guy Elena should stay away from. 
    Sweet, innocent women like her don’t look for relationships in motorcycle clubs. Especially one as classy and out of my league as Elena. 
    I can’t resist swiping right on her dating profile for fun. I never imagined we’d be a match. I know I’d only be a quick thrill for her, but I’m getting tired of the women at the clubhouse anyway. 
    Then my club brother Viper goes and ups the stakes: he bets me one thousand dollars that I won’t be able to have a relationship with Elena. 
    With my wicked smile and flirty charm, she won’t be able to resist me. And like my other hookups, I can’t let it get personal.  
    Until I let my guard down and she becomes my ride or die. 
    Which means I’ve got to make sure as hell that Elena never finds out about our bet…
