Summary

‘Tarawih’ (Arabic) comes from the root word that means to take a rest, and take rest I did.Notes After Terawih is a series of word sketches I drew based on my distracted observation during night prayers, or terawih prayers, done in a single mosque during Ramadhan. Thousands of us here in Singapore engage in terawih for thirty nights in a row – that’s a huge multitude of experiences. Yet, all these experiences are tucked within the walls of the mosque and ultimately remain in Ramadhan... As a new kid in this terawih thing, I decided to take some notes. None of these were written on the spot. Instead, they were recalled and typed on my phone as I headed home for the night.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Fourteen hundred quilts. One stern judge. One stitch that does not add up. 
    The Kutztown Folk Festival is back for one summer only, and retired accountant Walt Brubaker has been handed its books in a laundry basket: fifty thousand dollars short, with the tent bill written on a paper plate. His wife Grace is running the quilt barn, which means fourteen hundred quilts, a bell she never rings, and Ida Mae Kerschner, the head judge who failed Grace’s ninth grade apron in 1976 and has never once said she was sorry. 
    Ida Mae turns every quilt over. On Monday she turns over the wrong one: a prize Double Wedding Ring with a beloved Mennonite name sewn on the back, spelled wrong. She pins a white card on it, the whole barn hears about it by noon, and on Wednesday morning she is found under the tallest rack in the barn. The ladder beside her has its brake on. Her clipboard is gone. 
    The promoter has spent the quilters’ money. The son wants to sell the farm. A dealer in a linen suit cannot stop saying provenance. The Weaver sisters know more than they are telling, the church ladies know everything, and Freddie’s goat has eaten the programs, the corn husk dolls, and possibly the evidence. 
    Ida Mae always said you can count the stitches but you can’t fake the hours. Walt has until the big auction on Sunday. He is going to count both. 
     
    No graphic violence, no explicit scenes, no bad language. Just a good mystery, a festival you

    Galactic A$$holes: The Misadventures of Captain Fartknuckle is the most gloriously stupid, chaotically crude, and outrageously hilarious space saga you never knew your twisted little heart needed.
     
    Follow Captain Fartknuckle—a fearless leader with a nuclear butt blast and the strategic planning skills of a drunk wombat—as he stumbles, farts, and occasionally saves the galaxy alongside the universe’s dumbest collection of outlaws: Sockward the crusty gym sock prophet, Grandma Glittertits the battle-hardened old warrior with no filter (and even less patience), Jeff the semi-feral raccoon diplomat, and a sentient AI that hates them all equally.
     
    From sock-based civil wars and galactic fart bombs to evil sentient soap bars bent on cosmic cleansing, this crew faces every ridiculous catastrophe the stars can throw at them—and usually makes it worse.
     
    Packed with dark humor, savage stupidity, relentless fart jokes, and plot twists so dumb they come full circle to genius, Galactic A$$holes will blast you into a galaxy where dignity dies, laughter reigns, and the only universal law is "Never trust a raccoon with chili."
     
    Brace your nostrils. Shield your brain cells. Welcome to the misadventure of a lifetime.

    Wickedly funny, breathlessly romantic… a love story with a side of larceny 
    Irena Fèvere has three rules: never use the same alias twice, never sleep in a stranger's bed, and never let a man get the upper hand. 
    She's about to break all three. 
    When the infuriatingly handsome Atwood Barcroft bails her out of a Paris jail cell, Irena knows better than to trust him. Especially since he works for the same black-market organization she does. 
    But after a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase through Paris, the line between enemies and lovers is blurred, and the two of them find themselves working together in a situation far more dangerous than any job they’ve ever pulled…
