Queen Victoria's Jubilee

Mark Twain

"Every nation has its own way of celebrating, but England's pageantry is unmatched."

Mark Twain's Queen Victoria's Jubilee captures the splendour and sentimentality surrounding the celebration of the sixty years of Queen Victoria's reign in 1897. With his characteristic wit and keen social commentary, Twain reflects on the grandeur of the festivities and the deep emotional connection between the queen and her subjects, interweaving humour with poignant insights into British identity, tradition, and the complexity of monarchy in a rapidly changing world.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain (1835–1910), grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, and his early experiences inspired many of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Widely celebrated as America's greatest humorist, Twain captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation, and his sharp wit, keen eye for human nature, and gift for storytelling made him not only a beloved novelist but also a popular lecturer and essayist.

Twain's innovative style, character-driven storytelling and ability to interweave humour with profound social critique laid the groundwork for modern American literature and has inspired countless authors, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Indeed, Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."

Stirring the Pot with Benjamin...

Rae Katherine Eighmey

In this remarkable culinary biography, Rae Katherine Eighmey presents Benjamin Franklin’s experimentation with food throughout his life. 
At age sixteen, he began dabbling in vegetarianism. In his early twenties, citing the health benefits of water over alcohol, he convinced his printing-press colleagues to abandon their traditional breakfast of beer and bread for “water gruel,” a kind of porridge he enjoyed. Franklin is known for his scientific discoveries, including electricity and the lightning rod, and his curiosity and logical mind extended to the kitchen: he even conducted an electrical experiment to try to cook a turkey. 
Later in life, on his diplomatic missions—he lived fifteen years in England and nine in France—Franklin ate like a local. Eighmey discovers the meals served at his London home-away-from-home and analyzes his account books from Passy, France, for tips to his diet there. Yet he also longed for American foods; his wife Deborah sent over some favorites including cranberries, which amazed the London kitchen staff. 
He saw food as key to the developing culture of the United States, penning two essays presenting maize as the defining grain of America. Eighmey revives and re-creates recipes from each chapter in his life. 
Stirring the Pot with Benjamin Franklin conveys all of Franklin’s culinary adventures, demonstrating how Franklin’s love of food shaped not only his life, but also the character of the young nation he helped build.

Did I Just Embarrass Myself?...

Dicholas Chad Pansy

Did I just embarrass myself? (Probably, but let’s obsess over it for 12 hours.) 
Welcome to the official handbook for people who replay every conversation they've ever had like it's a humiliating movie they didn’t consent to star in. 
If you’ve ever: 
✔️ Rehearsed saying “here” before roll call. 
✔️ Changed grocery store lines to avoid small talk. 
✔️ Said “you too” when a waiter told you to enjoy your meal. 
✔️ Sent a text, reread it 27 times, and still panicked… 
Congratulations! You may be entitled to financial compensation (just kidding, but you will find this book painfully relatable). 
In Did I Just Embarrass Myself? (Probably, But Let’s Obsess Over It for 12 Hours), we’ll explore: 
📌 The existential nightmare of casual goodbyes (“See you later”... but WILL you?). 
📌 How to pretend you’re normal in a conversation (spoiler: you’re failing). 
📌 The traumatic experience of picking up the phone. 
📌 Why texting is just anxiety in digital form. 
📌 The social death that comes when your joke lands flat in a group chat. 
📌 How to leave a party without having to say goodbye 47 times. 
This is not a self-help book. This is a documentation of your suffering, written by someone who also lies awake at night thinking about that one awkward thing they did in 2013. 
You don’t need therapy. You need to read this book and laugh at how dysfunctional we all are.
