She’s a Lamb! - A Novel

Meredith Hambrock

Sinopse

A darkly comic suspense in the vein of All’s Well and Yellowface, She’s a Lamb! is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the dangers of magical thinking and the depths of delusion
		 
Jessamyn St. Germain is meant to be a star. Not an actor who occasionally books yogurt commercials and certainly not a lowly usher at one of Vancouver’s smallest regional theaters. No, she is bound for greatness, and that’s why the part of Maria in the theater’s upcoming production of The Sound of Music is hers. Or it’s going to be.
		 
Jessamyn may have been relegated to the position of childminder for the little brats playing the von Trapp children, but it’s so obvious she’s there for a different reason — the director wants her close to the role so when Samantha, the lead, inevitably fails, Jessamyn will be there to take her place in the spotlight.
		 
This must be it. Because if it isn’t, well, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing.
		 
Sharp, relentless, and darkly funny, She’s a Lamb! is a cutting satire about the grotesque pall patriarchy casts over one woman’s delusional quest to achieve her dreams and the depths she will sink to for a chance at the life she’s convinced she deserves.

Clustering Round Young Bingo

P. G. Wodehouse

There are moments in life when one finds oneself unexpectedly surrounded. Young Bingo would describe it as fate. Others might use stronger language.
In Clustering Round Young Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse gathers the usual elements of civilized disaster: romantic enthusiasm, social overreaction, and the looming shadow of Aunt Dahlia's magazine enterprise.
Bingo, whose emotional decisions tend to arrive faster than his reasoning, becomes the centre of an intricate social arrangement involving a highly questionable article and a domestic crisis that even the finest French chef cannot resolve.
What emerges is a finely balanced mechanism: affection expressed as confusion, and dignity maintained only through collective effort and selective amnesia. Elegant, chaotic, and impeccably pointless in the most entertaining way.

Be More Sausage: Lifelong...

Matt Whyman

A love letter to the small but mighty dachshund or, as it’s more affectionally known, the Sausage Dog.
This book – almost as adorable as its namesake – proves that sausage dogs are not just sweet, soft and a little bit silly to look at. They can be an example to us all.
Despite having the odds stacked against it, this little pooch can turn any situation to its advantage. It’s the underdog that always comes out on top, displaying remarkable resilience, tenacity and bravery at every turn.
Sausage dogs may be only ankle high, but they will stop at nothing to live life to the fullest, teaching us humans some valuable life lessons along the way. They don’t care that they look more like a wind-up toy than a fierce guard dog, or that their bark is much louder than their bite.
Being more sausage is about breaking free from restraints, overcoming physical and emotional shortcomings, and chewing up the social conventions that conspire to hold us back. This is our chance to unleash that inner dachshund, live long and prosper!
Whyman's Be More Sausage is a delightful exploration of the world of pets, particularly focusing on the humorous and resilient nature of the dachshund breed. Through engaging narratives and stunning photography, the book captures the essence of these animals, encouraging readers to embrace their own inner sausage.
For fans of Matt Haig (The Comfort Book), Damian Hall (We Can't Run Away From This), Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), and Richard Askwith (Unbreakable).
