  People Watching - A collection...

  A fun writing exercise (started when I should’ve been working on my Edinburgh Fringe show) that somehow turned into a proper thing. I began jotting down names, staring out of the window, and listing all the stuff that gets on my nerves (cooking, cars, jogging). And now, here we are: a lovely—if I may say so myself—collection of short stories about normal people struggling with really basic things. 
  Perfect toilet reading, perhaps, given how short they are. Or something to dip in and out of while you're parked up in Waitrose car park waiting for your mum to do her shopping. 
  Features three swear words and possibly a couple of typos. 
  About the author 
  Paul S. Richards is a writer based in Cambridge, England. He’s 44 and often talks about himself in the third person. Over the past 20 years, he’s taken more than thirty plays to the Edinburgh Fringe, earning a fair bit of acclaim along the way—most notably for Harvey Greenfield is Running Late, which was later developed into a feature film. 
  He drinks too much coffee and is determined to grow a beard one day.

  We'll have a gay, old time ... 
  There's nothing worse than a long ride in the car with AB, or so Kallie thinks as they head off to the Fairview Mountain Rehab Center to pay a visit to Trevor Darlington. But once they arrive, she finds there are some things that are indeed worse than Abuela-Blanca's kami-nazi driving -- such as running into Azure, her fashion designer from Model Middle America. 
  Only he's not Azure -- or is he? 
  Maybe? 
  There's nothing "Azure" about the pasty-faced, non-makeup wearing man who shares Azure's face, any more than Kallie is truly "Arlanda." Kallie's more than certain it's a twin thing, even as he begs her to keep his truly devastating secret for fear of losing his job, his clout, and his reputation ... 
  But when he consumes a radioactive doughnut, Kallie has no room for hesitation, and she fears her promise suddenly just got a lot harder to keep ... 
  Azure Skies is episode 9 in C. S. Johnson's superhero satire serial, Fatgirl. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way after consuming this series!

  🚨 ATTENTION PERFECTIONISTS: If you’ve ever rewritten an email 14 times, physically cringed at a typo, or spent an hour debating whether to sign off with "Best" or "Sincerely"—this book is your personal attack. 
  Do you spend an obscene amount of time making sure every minor detail of your life is flawless, only to burn out like an overheated laptop from 2006? Do you find yourself rewriting text messages to ensure they sound casual, yet professional, yet witty, yet effortless, yet not like you're trying too hard, but also not like you don’t care? 
  CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 You’re a perfectionist. And it’s ruining your life. 
  In this hilariously unhinged survival guide, we’ll explore: 
  ✅ The Art of Overthinking Everything – Why make a simple decision when you could spiral into existential dread? 
  ✅ Procrastination: The Perfectionist’s Favorite Coping Mechanism – If you never start, you never fail! Genius! 
  ✅ How to Do Everything at 110% Until You Emotionally Collapse – Sleep is for the weak. 
  ✅ Lowering Your Standards: An Incredibly Painful but Necessary Life Skill – Your 80% effort is still better than Todd’s 20%, and he got promoted. 
  By the end of this book, you won’t be cured of perfectionism (LOL, good luck with that), but you will at least understand why your brain is a flaming disaster. 
  📢 WARNING: This book contains aggressive sarcasm, brutal self-awareness, and zero practical advice on how to actually fix yourself. (Because let’s be honest, you’d just overthink it anyway.)

  My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad -...

  Comic and television star Tim Conway (The Carol Burnett Show, McHale's Navy, Dorf) enjoyed enormous popular appeal. In this humorous, loving, and surprising memoir, Tim's eldest of his six children, Kelly, reveals that the Conway home life was as riotous as some of her father's legendary comedy sketches. Kelly Conway allows listeners an intimate look at an American childhood set in 1970s and 1980s Los Angeles, from the studios of CBS to the racetrack of Santa Anita Park, where her father taught his kids the art of horse betting. Tim Conway took his hilarious creativity off the set to the family home, where he acted as the ringmaster to six unruly lion cubs—and often lit the fuse of their short-tempered mother, Mary Anne. Kelly takes the listener through the fascinating world of entertainment, from her dad's television stardom to her own career in costume design and wardrobe styling, using the lessons her father taught her about holding her own in the often cruel world of show business. But it's not until Kelly realizes that she must find the courage to fight for her dad when he faces a devastating life change that her steadfast commitment to him becomes clear—although it means losing lifelong relationships and at times facing harsh criticism. My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad is Kelly's love letter to her father, an account of the warm, fun-filled world of her childhood.

  The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel “marries comedy and canniness into a novel that’s warm, tolerant, shrewd and exuberant” (The Sunday Times). The demise of Russell Buffery’s latest marriage has put the sixty-one-year-old actor in a reflective mood. After all, his three ex-wives—the journalist, the new-age housewife, the antique dealer—have easily found their way without “Buffy”, and his connections to his children are tenuous at best. Spurned and alone, he still wonders where it all went wrong. Until he meets Celeste . . . Only twenty-three and new to London, the fresh-faced young woman has given Buffy, the hopeless romantic, a new lease on life. But, unknown to Buffy, Celeste has her own agenda. She begins to delve into his past, but discovering each ex-wife leads to another one—not to mention the women on the side. And though Celeste may be in over her head, what is revealed to her will transform her life—and give both her and Buffy a chance to get it right this time around.Praise for Deborah Moggach “Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters.” —Cosmopolitan “You’ll be hooked from the first page of this original, funny book . . .
