  Jason Byrne is 17. He has his Leaving Cert under his belt but no idea what to do next. Who better to ask for advice than his dad, Paddy Byrne?
  There's a (very) short stint studying accountancy (he was asked to leave); a FÁS course with juvenile prisoners to become a waiter (his wonky eye was not an advantage); and a job in a lighting warehouse (it ended with a collapsed lung). But no matter the problem, Paddy is always there with a whiskey, a smoke and a wise word: 'Sure, that's life, son. Just don't tell your mother.'
  Follow Jason's hilarious journey to becoming one of Ireland's best-loved comedians in a laugh-out loud book that is a celebration of a generation, of life and of Jason's wonderful relationship with his dad, Paddy Byrne – the man who never gave a b*llix.

  The Prince of los Cocuyos - A...

  Richard Blanco

  A poignant, hilarious, and inspiring memoir from the first Latino and gay Presidential Inaugural Poet, which explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities. 
   
   
   
  Richard Blanco's childhood and adolescence were experienced between two imaginary worlds: his parents' nostalgic world of 1950s Cuba and his imagined America, the country he saw on reruns of The Brady Bunch and Leave it to Beaver—an "exotic" life he yearned for as much as he yearned to see "la patria." 
   
   
   
  A prismatic and lyrical narrative rich with the colors, sounds, smells, and textures of Miami, Richard Blanco's personal narrative is a resonant account of how he discovered his authentic self and ultimately, a deeper understanding of what it means to be American. His is a singular yet universal story that beautifully illuminates the experience of "becoming"; how we are shaped by experiences, memories, and our complex stories: the humor, love, yearning, and tenderness that define a life.

  While tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten's fiancé walked in and told her he didn't think he loved her, and maybe never had . . . Oh, and he'd cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. But don't worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right . . . 
   
   
   
  A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
   
   
   
  Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream, you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Because everyone else is stupid . . . 
   
   
   
  Oh, and why are they always telling you "everything happens for a reason"?! Leave me alone, Cheryl! 
   
   
   
  But also, don't. Because when you're alone, you're hit with the reality that you can't wake up from this bad dream. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one . . . Crushed? But what if that's the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. 
   
   
   
  In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites listeners along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. 
   
   
   
  And what if realizing you aren't alone is the first step to one day knowing you'll be in awe too?
