Father in a Fix

Neil Boyd

Sinopse

From the series that inspired the hit London Weekend Television sitcom Bless Me, Father: After six months at St. Jude’s, Father Neil finds his parish as outrageous as ever Between the barbs of Mrs. Pring and the grandstanding of Father Duddleswell, the past six months for Father Boyd have been the most eventful of his life. It is now New Year’s Eve. The year 1951 is right around the corner, and Neil has made his resolution: Wise up. With the crazy collection of characters at his parish, this will be no easy feat.   Father Neil always tries to do the right thing, but he encounters one misadventure after another. Whether the cantankerous Father Duddleswell has just been identified as the prime suspect in the killing of a gambling parishioner’s smelly pig or a generous attempt to give Father Duddleswell a day off goes zanily haywire, Father Neil manages to tackle every situation with good cheer.

Bedrock Faith - A Novel

Eric Charles May

An ex-convict returns to his Chicago community a changed man—but maybe not for the better—in this “vivid, suspenseful, funny, and compassionate novel” (Booklist). One of Booklist’s Top 10 First Novels of the YearOne of Roxane Gay’s Top 10 Books of the Year After fourteen years in prison, Gerald “Stew Pot” Reeves, age thirty-one, returns home to live with his mom in Parkland, a black middle-class neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The residents are in a tailspin, dreading the arrival of the man they remember as a frightening delinquent. The anxiety only grows when Stew Pot announces that he experienced a religious awakening in prison. Most folks are skeptical, with one notable exception: Mrs. Motley, a widowed retired librarian and the Reeves’ next-door neighbor, who loans Stew Pot a Bible, which is seen by him and many in the community as a friendly gesture. With uncompromising fervor (and with a new pit bull named John the Baptist), Stew Pot soon appoints himself the moral judge of Parkland—and starts wreaking havoc on people’s lives. Before long, tension and suspicion reign, and this close-knit community must reckon with questions of faith, fear, and forgiveness . . . “[A] novel of epiphanies, tragedies, and transformations . . . perfect for book clubs.” —Booklist, starred review “May slowly builds suspense as he persuasively unfolds the narrative in this work that reads like an Agatha Christie mystery.” —Library Journal “A wonderful urban novel full of vitality and pathos and grit.” —Dennis Lehane

Jake Bible

With Whispering Pines refusing to give up and die, Jace “Long Pork” Stanford has nothing better to do than find out who the heavily-armed newcomers in town are.

Or possibly blowing up more of the zombie-infested city because he can’t help pressing buttons. Buttons are meant to be pressed, even in the apocalypse, right?
Looks like it’s just another day in Z-Burbia!
Reviews-
“Loved this book and loved the series so far. Not sure what took me so long to discover it as I am a big zombiephile. This book has all the elements I love in a story, very character driven, with soldiers, strong women, sassy teens, and some smart ass men.” -Michele, 5-star Goodreads review
“Jace and his crew are back in Book 2 and it is just as hilarious as the first. I find that sometimes authors hit a home run with their first books but never quite live up to the same standard with each additional book. Not so with Jake Bible. It is rare that I read a book that makes me laugh out loud.” -Veronica, 5-star Goodreads review

Yes You're Pregnant But What...

Kevin Nealon

At fifty-three, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a thirty-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other celebrity, he felt that was not enough. The perpetually insatiable Nealon wanted more, and for him "more" meant a little addition that drooled, burped, and pooped (no, not a Pomeranian).Now, Nealon tells the outrageous story of how he battled through aching joints, Milano cookie cravings, and a rapidly receding hairline to become a first-time dad at an age when most fathers are packing their kids off to college. Offering hysterical commentary about his fickle, often hormonal, road to belated fatherhood, Nealon guides you through the delivery room and beyond, discussing how his past, his wife, and his neuroses all converged in a montage of side-splitting insecurities during the months leading up to the birth of his son.Laugh-out-loud funny and remarkably poignant, Nealon's entertaining perspective and his wealth of sarcasm provide a take on fatherhood that is as fresh as it is universal, always reminding you that half the fun of being a parent is getting there.
