    Following the success of Go the F**k to Sleep, Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable, a collection of funny, warm, and charmingly profane tales from the frontlines of parenthood by the author of the popular Baby Sideburns blog. 
    Once upon a time you and your partner had a perfect life: dinners out, weekend mornings cuddling in bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a poop machine (or two). Now, it's all about the pediatrician, breast pumps, princess dresses, and minivans. And discovering that your pride and joy is actually a little A-hole. 
    When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he's an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she's an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely paint the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they're a-holes. At times like these, it's only natural to want to kill them (or yourself). But it's against the law (and there's the suicide hotline). Plus, there's that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing. 
    In I Heart My Little A-Holes, Karen Alpert shares hilarious stories, lists, and deep thoughts on the joys and horrors of raising children. Accompanied by cheery illustrations and photos I Heart My Little A-Holes will make you laugh so hard you'll wish you were wearing a diaper.

    The villain’s a poet, the weapon is verse, and the whole world’s a stage. 
    The Ar’dath-Irr’s final act is nearly complete — and the applause will be apocalyptic. 
    Oscar Teabag-Dooven, once a Velvet Paw, is all that stands between a fractured universe and total obliteration. 
    But Oscar wanted to be a poet, not a hero, not a destroyer, and certainly not the most loathed animal on the planet. After his avant-garde recital triggers mass death, suspicious reincarnations and catastrophic misunderstandings involving curry, he’s the only one left to blame. 
    With his reputation in ruins and a war effort rising, Oscar and a huge cast must navigate a broken world filled with inverted corpses, bureaucratic panic and a vengeful poet-dog whose power defies life itself. Revenge seems like the only reasonable response. But in a world where hugs are abolished and poetry causes mass casualties, reason is a dangerous thing. 
    Joined by armies and navies orchestrated under Operation Fluffy Cloud, Oscar must confront his greatest fear: that this entire war might just be about him. 
    This is the climax of the Morigan Tetralogy: where poetry bends worlds and the end of everything smells faintly of cinnamon and petrol.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The lifestyle of a cabin crew member dazzles and fascinates both young and old. The constant travels, the perfectly pressed and fashionable uniforms, the immaculate personal image, and other details of this job create a true illusion for those who dream of the adventure of flying. 
    	However, behind all the magic that surrounds cabin crew members as they parade through airports and airplanes, there is a hidden side. There is a significant amount of prior effort, a heavy load of study and personal and professional training, and a long-term dedication to pursuing the goal of securing a job with an airline—a task that is far from easy, but in this book, I will show you how to make it simple and quick. 
    	"How to Become a Cabin Crew" is a work that describes the step-by-step process to follow, from the moment you decide to start your studies until you secure a job with an international airline. It’s a long journey that we will attempt to make easy and enjoyable by providing you with the tools found in this book. Additionally, I will gift you some basic knowledge from the initial course so that you can stand out when you begin. 
    Happy flying!

    Once an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo. By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing. But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try. With this book, John Gierach, one of the nation's top fly-fishing writers, provides a philosophical guide to the angler who seeks this new "old" method. Gierach discusses how bamboo rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher's approach to the sport. Fishing bamboo might be the pinnacle of fly-casting skill, and this book will help take you there.

    The Deadly Smoke 
     is a journey into the most dangerous hidden element in the world of fires… 
     the silent killer that moves before the flames and suffocates awareness long before it reaches the body. 
     This work reveals the secrets of thick, toxic black smoke in airport, aircraft, and facility fires—how it transforms within seconds into a lethal weapon capable of bringing down structures and disabling even the most advanced systems. 
    In this book, you will not only read about fire, but you will enter the mind of the smoke: 
     How it moves, how it deceives, how it becomes a deadly fog that steals visibility, invades the lungs, and spreads chaos. 
     You will explore the worst-case scenarios of airport fires, and witness how smoke forms a silent monster that precedes the explosion and reshapes the fate of workers, passengers, and firefighting leaders. 
    The Deadly Smoke is not just an analysis… 
     it is an early warning, a survival guide, and a window into the zone where true terror begins—long before the flames appear.
