  This program is read by the author with a special appearance from his mom.An intimate and light-hearted memoir by viral sensation and three-time Emmy-nominated musical comedian Randy Rainbow that takes readers through his life—the highs, the lows, the lipstick, the pink glasses, and the show tunes.Randy Rainbow, the man who conquered the Internet with a stylish pair of pink glasses, an inexhaustible knowledge of Broadway musicals, and the most gimlet-eyed view of American politics this side of Mark Twain finally tells all in Playing with Myself, a memoir sure to cause more than a few readers to begin singing one of his greatest hits like “A Spoonful of Clorox” or “Cover Your Freakin’ Face.”As Randy has said, “There’s so much fake news out there about me. I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peek behind the green screen.” And set the record straight he does. Playing with Myself is a first-hand account of the journey that led Randy Rainbow from his childhood as the over-imaginative, often misunderstood little boy who carried a purse in the second grade to his first job on Broadway as the host at Hooters and on to the creation of his trademark comedy character. In chapters titled “Pajama Bottoms” (a look back at the days when he wore pajama bottoms on his head to pretend he was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), “Yes, It’s My Real Name, Shut Up!” (no explanation necessary...) and “Pink Glasses” (a rose-colored homage to his favorite accessory), Playing with Myself is a memoir that answers the question “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

  Collected Stories and Lies is a collection of stories, recollections, and memoirs which crackle with wit, brazen sentimentality, and unfiltered self-awareness. With a motley cast of characters, both real and imagined, led by the 'I'm just a little weird' Zevy, popping and out of stories, Collected Stories and Lies blurs the lines of fact and fiction. 
  With Stories culled from Zevy's childhood, misadventures with friends and family and blind date disasters, Collected Stories and Lies is full of exotic food, quirky characters, radios, and generous portions of chutzpah and hubris. You will come away with wry lessons on gambling, family, and the subtle art of exaggeration. 
  After all, one should never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

  It Started With a Finger Up My...

  "It Started with a Finger Up My A*se"  is not your typical prostate cancer memoir — it’s a brutally honest, unexpectedly funny, and a deeply human journey through a diagnosis millions of men face but few talk about. 
  You will get more solace from this prize-worthy, self-proclaimed masterpiece than any other book on the subject or your money back. (I didn’t mean that; I’m just making a point.) 
  I was diagnosed in 2024, and what followed was equal parts terrifying, ridiculous, painful, and oddly enlightening. This audiobook is filled with things you won’t hear in polite conversation, but probably should — from awkward intrusive exams and midnight fears, to German penis pumps and injections in a place they do not belong. Not forgetting conversations about Harry Potter, Ted lasso and porn. I know, strange. 
  You will laugh, maybe cry, and most definitely clench. It will also help you tackle those fears, especially in the dark moments when you feel very alone, of which there may be many.  But more than that, you'll find comfort, connection, and the raw truths no brochure will tell you. 
  It’s my hope that the raw and unfiltered truths will give you answers to the questions you didn’t know you needed to ask. 
  So, what do you do when confronted with cancer? You look it square in the face and laugh at it because sometimes that’s all you can do. This evil illness has so much power over us, and I think it’s time we took some of it back. 
  It Started with a Finger Up My A*se (which it did) is a book for everybody because that’s precisely who prostate cancer affects. 
  Listen, laugh and learn. Then pass what you know on to the next man, because unfortunately there will always be a next man.

  Emily Forrest runs Exalted, the hottest astrology account on Instagram, from her studio apartment in Los Angeles. Burned out on meme-making and listicles, Emily's passion for astrology is waning despite her gift for deciphering the signs, until she comes across a birth-chart that could potentially change her mind. Beau Rubidoux's planets are aligned, each paired with its optimum sign—his chart is exalted. She decides that Beau, a well-connected photographer in Echo Park, could potentially be the love of her life and help her fulfill her true destiny: to be a star. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile in Riverside, Dawn Webster has been dumped once again. At forty-eight, she is forced to return to the same restaurant where she started waiting tables at eighteen. With no girlfriend, no career, and her only son gone to Hollywood, the once-vivacious Dawn is aimless and alone. She guzzles cheap champagne and checks Exalted to feel seen. She is a fiery Leo, and one day she will get her due. 
   
   
   
  Alternating between Emily and Dawn's points of view, Exalted is a deliciously dark novel that explores desire, the projection of our need for love, and what we're really searching for when we keep scrolling. Anna Dorn's signature wit and biting social commentary takes listeners across Southern California until Emily and Dawn's shocking connection is finally revealed.
