Synopsis

A whirlwind of comedic mishaps ensues when the serene life at Blandings Castle is disrupted by stolen memoirs, blackmailing butlers, and romantic entanglements gone awry. Lord Emsworth, more concerned with his prize pig than his guests, remains blissfully unaware of the turmoil unfolding around him. As lovesick young men hatch schemes and formidable aunts demand obedience, deception and wit collide in a riotous tale of mistaken identities and ill-fated plots. With Wodehouse’s signature charm and razor-sharp wit, Fish Preferred delivers a timeless comedy of manners where nothing ever goes quite as planned—but everything turns out splendidly in the end. [Also published as Summer Lightning.]

    Congratulations! You’ve matched with a Tech Bro. Maybe he built a “disruptive” app that nobody asked for. Maybe he describes himself as an “entrepreneur” but lives with four roommates. Maybe he just pitched you a startup idea during your first date. Either way, welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is dating a man who thinks “Web3” is a personality. 
    This hilariously brutal field guide will help you navigate, survive, and ultimately regret your decision to date a man whose primary relationship is with his second monitor. You’ll learn: 
    ✔️ Why he refers to your love life as an "MVP" (minimum viable product) 
    ✔️ How to decode his texts ("Let’s sync later" = He’s ghosting you) 
    ✔️ Why he still wears hoodies even though he has six-figure stock options 
    ✔️ The warning signs that your next breakup will be sent via Google Docs 
    If you’ve ever dated a guy who uses the phrase “scaling our relationship,” this book is for you. It won’t save you, but at least you’ll go into the next disaster fully informed. 
    🚨 WARNING: Side effects of reading this book may include deleting LinkedIn, blocking startup bros, and questioning every life choice that led you here.

    Tales of the Dusty Bucket - A...

    Most folks worldwide have visited a flea market, swap shop, or bazaar. Still, few take the time to get to know the variety of vendors peddling their lightly used or dubiously acquired inventory every weekend. At the Dusty Bucket, a self-described "androgynous pansexual with no more ambition nowadays than making a living as a flea market 'artist," sets up a table with their recently deceased mother's unremarkable collectibles. The booth neighbor sells discount cigarettes and has a tale of bluster for every occasion. High strangeness captures the narrator's attention, as well as that of market regulars with a penchant for seeing the supernatural where it probably doesn't exist. Then again, an apparent caveman does appear out of thin air, and the narrator senses a song-like vibration in their feet rather than hearing it. By the final tally, a misfit team of muddied merchants might be the world's only protection from an ancient existential threat. [Winner: 2024 International Impact Award for Best Humor Fiction]

    From PEN/America Award winner, 2021 Guggenheim fellow, and beloved literary and tarot icon Michelle Tea, the hilarious, powerfully written, taboo-breaking story of her journey to pregnancy and motherhood as a 40 year-old, queer, uninsured woman 
    Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea’s route to parenthood—with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex in order to carry her younger lover’s baby. 
    With the signature sharp wit and wild heart that have made her a favorite to so many readers, Tea guides us through the maze of medical procedures, frustrations and astonishments on the path to getting pregnant, wryly critiquing some of the systems that facilitate that choice (“a great, punk, daredevil thing to do”). In Knocking Myself Up, Tea has crafted a deeply entertaining and profound memoir, a testament to the power of love and family-making, however complex our lives may be, to transform and enrich us.

    The Confidence-Man - His Masquerade

    In his ninth and final novel, cultural observer, novelist, and poet Herman Melville gives us a picture of everything wrong with America in the decade preceding the Civil War. 
    Evoking Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, this is a story of interlocking tales from a group of steamboat passengers traveling down the Mississippi toward New Orleans. Aboard the Fidèle can be found all manner of con man, from those selling stock in failing companies and herbal cure-all “medicines” to those who are raising money for a supposed charitable organization and those who simply ask for money outright. One man sneaks aboard ship to test the so-called confidence of the passengers, and everyone is forced to confront that in which he places his trust before journey’s end.  
    Mixing his trademark satirical style with allegory and metaphysical treatise, Melville’s The Confidence-Man is a precursor to the twentieth-century literary preoccupations with nihilism, existentialism, and absurdism.

    “A comedic masterpiece filled with droll humor, quick-witted dialogue, and colorful characters. The narrative keeps you in stitches and rarely allows your attention to waver.” 
    — Readers’ Favorite 
    “A ribald and incisive provocation… riotously bawdy.” 
    — BookLife by Publishers Weekly 
    “A lively but profane comic tale.” 
    — Kirkus Reviews 
    What happens when a man tries to eliminate desire from his life — and discovers desire has other plans? 
    In this fearless, fast-paced erotic dark comedy, Puchy Mushkin attempts the impossible: to purge himself of every dream, ambition, and craving. The result is a cascade of hilariously catastrophic misadventures that blur the line between absurdity, scandal, intimacy, and self-destruction. 
    Wildly funny and provocatively candid, The Tyranny of Desire is brilliantly written smut — a true sexistential masterpiece. 
    Narrated by the author with wit, bite, and full-throttle commitment, this audiobook delivers sharp humor, erotic tension, and psychological insight in equal measure. 
    If you like your comedy daring, your erotica self-aware, and your anti-heroes spectacularly flawed, you’re in the right place.
