  This program is read by the author."In 37 short essays comedian Tom Papa reminds listeners that life's absurdities are here to stay and that everyone is doing the best they can. His tone and delivery are comforting, heartwarming, even therapeutic."- AudioFile Stand-up is all well and good, but observational humor that’s funny and warm may work best in books.  And Tom Papa, whose loyal audiences are packed with “date night” couples of all ages, has perfected the form. In We're All In This Together, Papa’s thirty-seven short essays tackle these universal American topics, among others:–Love for Your First Car (“To Buy or Lease”)–The Truth about Personal Hygiene (“How You Know When It’s Time to Go”)–Date Nights (“Will You Go Out with Me?”)–Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms (“Why Nothing Works”)–Pets (“Cats–Ancient Menace”)–Drinking (“There’s no Cure for a Hangover”)–Ducking your Family, even Though you Love Them (“The Lesson of Mark Twain’s Cigars”)Tom Papa’s books make readers laugh, but–crucially–feel better about themselves while doing it.  And while there’s thematic overlap with Papa’s stand-up, with a couple of exceptions, all the writing here is fresh for our book.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  ARRIVAL 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Arrival is a 2016 science fiction drama directed by Denis Villeneuve. The film follows linguist Dr. Louise Banks, portrayed by Amy Adams, who is recruited by the U.S. military to help communicate with extraterrestrial beings after twelve mysterious spacecraft land on Earth. As Louise and physicist Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner, attempt to decipher the aliens' complex, non-linear language, they grapple with global tensions and the potential consequences of contact. The film explores themes of language, time, memory, and the nature of human perception, offering a deeply philosophical take on communication and the possibility of future connections. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer created a fully functioning, visual alien language. They developed a 'logogram bible,' which included over a hundred different fully operative logograms, seventy-one of which are featured in the movie.” 
    
  “The circular alien language was created by Montreal artist Martine Bertrand. The artist's son also created Hannah's drawings.” 
    
  “While the shape of the alien ship was decided early on, Denis Villeneuve had difficulty imagining an interior that would allow humans to navigate such a steep and vertical design. The decision to turn gravity sideways was made as a solution.” 
    
  “Ted Chiang, the author of the story on which the film is based, approved of the movie. He stated, 'I think it's that rarest of the rare in that it's both a good movie and a good adaptation.'”

  Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

  This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

  Bread and Milk

  From one of Sweden's most loved authors, an essayistic memoir about women and food, translated by Saskia Vogel. 
  Bread and Milk traces a life through food, from a bag of tangerines devoured in one sitting to the luxury of a grandmother’s rice pudding, from pancakes meant to make up for a mother’s absence to perfectly sliced tomatoes winning, at last, a distant father’s approval; it explores how food can fill an emptiness but also consume you. After all, what we eat is inexorably intertwined with how we love. 
  In this radiant memoir, one of Sweden’s most acclaimed writers considers the complex relationships between the women in her family as they struggle with financial and emotional vulnerability, and how those relationships replicate themselves in fraught and obsessive relationships with food. Bread and Milk is at once wholly original and a natural extension of the brazenly intelligent and personal writing that has come to define Karolina Ramqvist’s authorship. 
  ‘Karolina Ramqvist’s writing is straight-talking scripture, a spiritual text in memoir form. Food isn’t just love or its opposite; food marks time for the mortal body. Food is how people remember the people who no longer exist to make and eat food. Ramqvist’s mind is transgressively pragmatic, and a constant source of enlightenment. Instead of saying, “Look at what you didn’t know,” her book says, “Look at what you thought you didn’t know, but always did.”’ – Heidi Julavits, author of Directions to Myself 
  ‘Swedish novelist Ramqvist’s highly relatable memoir details the problems that can arise when a child associates food with love … The term “food memoir” doesn’t quite encompass her profound autobiographical journey … her story, with its lush and evocative prose, will speak to many readers.’ – Booklist
