Sinopsis

When Connecticut mechanic and foreman Hank Morgan is knocked unconscious, he wakes not to the familiar scenes of nineteenth-century America but to the bewildering sights and sounds of sixth-century Camelot. Although confused at first and quickly imprisoned, he soon realises that his knowledge of the future can transform his fate. Correctly predicting a solar eclipse from inside his prison cell, Morgan terrifies the people of England into releasing him and swiftly establishes himself as the most powerful magician in the land, stronger than Merlin and greatly admired by Arthur himself. But the Connecticut Yankee wishes for more than simply a place at the Round Table. Soon, he begins a far greater struggle: to bring American democratic ideals to Old England. Complex and fascinating, A Connecticut Yankee is a darkly comic consideration of the nature of human nature and society.

    Journey through the dusty plains of Texas and the rugged mountains of Colorado in author Jim Duke’s debut, DANCES WITH DONKEYS: The Memoir of a Half-Assed Cowboy—the often hilarious, occasionally poignant, sometimes hair-raising, and always entertaining tales of a man who dropped out of high school and took off for Texas to become a cowboy.   In this captivating memoir, Duke recounts his adventures and ass-inine misadventures with mules, donkeys and horses as he introduces readers to the complexity and variety of personalities among these intelligent creatures. Through prose and poetry, he shows the deep bond that can form between humans and equines.     Whether you're a fan of cowboy culture or just love a good memoir, DANCES WITH DONKEYS is reminiscent of cowboy poet laureate Baxter Black with a twist in the saddle. You'll laugh your "ass" off and come away with a whole new understanding of why little boys (and girls) grow up dreaming of being cowboys. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the American West.

    Chef Charlie Hunter is just trying for mindfulness and a work/life balance, if such a thing is ever possible in the context of a busy professional kitchen.
    She's found herself a great podcast that's going to help her get there. Until she finds that her online self-help guru has feet of clay – feet which are much closer to her restaurant than seems possible.
    Even more disruptive is the attack on a well known writer in Charlie's quiet Chilterns village of Hampden Green, and the arrest of the village's own celebrity shock jock.
    Charlie finds herself dealing with more than she can cope with, and never sure where the next attack will come from. Then mere backstabbing turns to murder…

    After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is ""like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair,"" has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him: 
    ""That woman was sexy. . . . Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them."" 
    ""Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."" 
    ""The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two."" 
    Almost two million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sh*t My Dad Says is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.

    🚨 CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’RE HAVING A FULL-BLOWN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. 🚨 
    No worries. Instead of actually dealing with it, just buy this book and pretend that’s progress. 
    From the deeply unqualified mind behind every bad decision you’ve ever made comes "What Am I Even Doing? (No Seriously, Someone Tell Me)," a deeply unhelpful guide to overanalyzing your entire existence, making terrible impulse purchases, and aggressively avoiding reality. 
    Inside these pages, you’ll find zero useful advice, but you WILL find: 
    ✔️ An emotional breakdown disguised as a shopping spree—because spending $500 on throw pillows is easier than going to therapy. 
    ✔️ The five stages of buying a yoga mat and never using it—because nothing says “I’m fixing my life” like an unused fitness prop collecting dust in the corner. 
    ✔️ A complete breakdown of the “Should I Move to a Cabin in the Woods?” fantasy—spoiler: You will not survive without DoorDash. 
    ✔️ An investigation into why people keep applying for grad school—spoiler: It’s because reality is terrifying. 
    ✔️ A crisis bingo card—because why suffer privately when you can turn your spiraling into a fun game? 
    If you’ve ever had an intense desire to start over, quit your job, buy a plane ticket to nowhere, and completely reinvent yourself for no reason, this book was written for you. 
    Will this book fix your life? Absolutely not. 
    Will it validate your terrible choices? 100%.
