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.Ver libro

DAVE CHAPPELLE THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB Elvis Presley, born in 1935, became known as the "King of Rock and Roll". He was a singer and actor whose career took off in 1954 when Sam Phillips recorded him singing "That's All Right," a blues number. Elvis’s performances were known for their suggestive movements and gyrations which created controversy. Despite this, his popularity grew rapidly. He signed with RCA Victor in 1955 and had his first number-one hit with "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956. Elvis’s music combined elements of rock and roll, pop, rockabilly, country, gospel, R&B, and blues. He was drafted into the US Army in 1958 and died at the age of 42 in 1977. CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: Elvis Presley's twin brother, Jesse Garon, was delivered stillborn 35 minutes before Elvis was born. Elvis became very close to his parents, especially his mother, growing up in Tupelo, Mississippi. The Presley family attended an Assembly of God church, where Elvis found his initial musical inspiration. They often relied on neighbors and government food assistance because Vernon Presley moved from one odd job to the next. Sam Phillips was looking for someone who could bring the sound of black musicians to a broader audience. He invited Elvis to record after being impressed with his singing, pairing him with guitarist Winfield "Scotty" Moore and upright bass player Bill Black. During an unfruitful recording session, Elvis launched into a 1946 blues number, Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right", which Phillips began taping. This was the sound he had been looking for, which led to the start of Elvis's career.Ver libro
INTERSTELLAR THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM "Interstellar" is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in a dystopian future where Earth faces ecological collapse, it follows Joseph Cooper, a former NASA pilot turned farmer, who is recruited for a mission to find a new habitable planet for humanity. Cooper and his team travel through a wormhole near Saturn, encountering distant planets, black holes, and time dilation. The film explores themes of love, sacrifice, and survival, blending scientific theories with deep emotional drama. It examines humanity's resilience in the face of extinction and the potential of space exploration to secure the future. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “TARS, the robot in the film, was not created using CGI but was a practical puppet controlled and voiced on set by Bill Irwin, who was digitally erased from the footage. Irwin also operated CASE, though Josh Stewart’s voice was dubbed over his.” “Anne Hathaway faced hypothermia while filming the scenes set in Iceland, as her astronaut suit was open during the cold water sequences.” “Dr. Kip Thorne famously won a scientific bet against Stephen Hawking on a point related to astrophysics, which led to Hawking subscribing to Penthouse Magazine for a year. This bet was dramatized in the film "The Theory of Everything" (2014).” “The placement of the wormhole near Saturn was a reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), as Stanley Kubrick had initially planned to have part of his film set near Saturn before abandoning it due to visual effects limitations at the time.”Ver libro
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.Ver libro
