Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs Sora to get a date for the wedding, otherwise she’ll be dancing with her Scottish great-uncle Bob. For Sora, the phrase “minimal input, minimal expectations” is a way of life. The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day. What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila is better? Sora’s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #GoSolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker Sora hasn’t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can’t #GoSolo and get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should Jack be different—even though he’s confounding her expectations of love? Cheerfully irreverent, bitingly funny, and filled with romantic charm, The Second You’re Single is about navigating the most romantic month of the year, and how love always comes when you least expect it.Zum Buch

DWAYNE JOHNSON THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a multifaceted American entertainer, born May 2, 1972, who has achieved success as an actor, professional wrestler, and businessman. He initially gained fame in the WWE, where he was known for his charisma and catchphrases. Johnson debuted as Rocky Maivia, a name he was reluctant to use. He was a reluctant hero and after fan backlash, he turned heel, joining the Nation of Domination. His wrestling career included multiple championships and main event appearances, including a notable rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Transitioning to acting, he became one of Hollywood's highest-paid and most successful actors. He is also a successful businessman with ventures such as Teremana Tequila. The Rock has continued to make part-time returns to the WWE, most recently as "The Final Boss". CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, was initially reluctant to use the ring name "Rocky Maivia," which combined his father's and grandfather's names, but was convinced by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. He was also nicknamed "The Blue Chipper" and promoted as the WWF's first third-generation wrestler. Although he is of both Black Nova Scotian and Samoan heritage, Johnson identifies as both equally and is proud of both. His father, Rocky Johnson, was a Black Nova Scotian with some Irish ancestry, and his mother is Samoan. Johnson's maternal grandmother, Lia Maivia, was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death and managing it until 1988. She ran the promotion from 1982 to 1988.Zum Buch
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Inglourious Basterds, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a World War II film that blends historical fiction with intense action. It follows two main storylines: one about a group of Jewish-American soldiers, led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who aim to instill fear in the Nazi army by killing and scalping German soldiers. The other centers on Shosanna Dreyfus, a young Jewish woman who seeks revenge on the Nazis after they kill her family. Tarantino uses themes of vengeance, justice, and survival, blending intense violence with sharp dialogue and dark humor in a unique and stylized narrative. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Inglourious Basterds marked the first Quentin Tarantino film to win an Oscar for acting, with Christoph Waltz receiving the Best Supporting Actor award. Waltz went on to win another Oscar for his role in Django Unchained (2012).” “In a roundtable discussion with Brad Pitt, Tarantino revealed that Til Schweiger, who was born and raised in Germany, had always refused to wear a Nazi uniform for a film. However, Schweiger agreed to do so on the condition that he could kill a Nazi in every scene where he wore one.” “Tarantino spent nearly a decade working on the script for Inglourious Basterds.” “Colonel Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz, speaks the most languages in the film, including English, French, German, and Italian.”Zum Buch
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES An irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic. 'It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken's politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended.' Manchester Review In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island. Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.Zum Buch
