"I will forever cherish the life lessons I learned from Mr.
Mitchell. I learned about love, about tragedy, about overcoming
setbacks and I learned about myself." Shannon Suess "I may not
remember all the poems we read in AP class, but I will remember the
man who taught me a lifelong love for poetry." Edward M. Shine "The
questions you ask are spiritual, they're real, they manifest
themselves in peculiar ways that we may only glimpse once, but
ponder for decades." Andrew Steel "I read the full book in only one
day These stories inspire me to do so much. I can't thank you
enough." Anthony Fertitta "I love all these stories so much, and
their meanings are poignant and relatable." Brendan Thomas Photos

This is a cartoon book featuring Bobby, a dog with ideas on how
people can be active after they retire. Bobby shares his ideas with
the reader. He also provides illustrations of his two masters, both
retirees, performing each activity in a way that is silly or
perilous to them, but humorous to the reader. The humor is witty,
lighthearted and unpretentious.
Once upon a time, a young grey Rabbit explored a forgotten WW2
chemical dump. Being young and foolish he drank some sweet tasting
liquid. Very soon he was experiencing growing pains and, by the age
of one, was five feet eight inches high and talking English with a
South London accent. He called himself, rather un-originally, Bunny
Warren and become a bit of a Dick; a sleazy, alcoholic, wise
cracking, Private Eye. This is a report of one of the
investigations of Bunny Warren, the Strange Case of the Missing
Ginger. When a lady goes missing from a premier rate call line,
Bunny and his beautiful assistant Jane, go in search of her. Along
the way, they get drawn into a web of bad guys, fiesty females and
a very odd mad scientist.

Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy.
It's been a minute. Readers last sat down with Tiffany in her bestselling debut The Last Black Unicorn. Since then, Haddish has catapulted to A-list fame as the breakout star of Girls Trip. She's walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first Black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week.
But it hasn't been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn't totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked.
It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way--the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a Black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after twenty years apart. Don't worry, she's got plenty of advice to share, too.
I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you're thinking...how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing readers into Tiffany's inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.
Ponder, if you will . . . Is yawning contagious? Do starfish
have faces? Why do they put crinkly paper into pairs of men's
socks? Why is it that cans of Diet Coke float, but cans of regular
Coke don't?
Pop culture guru David Feldman demystifies these questions and
much more in "Why Do Pirates Love Parrots? "
One of the Imponderables(R)--the unchallenged source of answers
to civilization's most perplexing conundrums--and charmingly
illustrated by Kassie Schwan, this book provides you with knowledge
about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs
just don't cover. And think about it: Where else are you going to
find out how they get the paper tag into a Hershey's Kiss?
1996, San Francisco, CA I reached up and grabbed my boss's boney
little shoulders and shook him trying to make my point. He looked
at his secretary, who was standing nearby, and said "You're a
witness. I've just been harassed." I didn't realize at that moment
that this would be the end of my career with El Paso Natural Gas
and that I would soon be on my way to exciting new adventures in
New Mexico. Or that these adventures would include a booth at the
Tesuque Flea Market and a log cabin with a curse.
This here is a follow-up to my first book, "Million Dollar Ideas".
Is it a thousand times greater than my first book as the title
indicates? The answer is yes. Should you buy a thousand copies of
my first book to balance the purchase of this book? If my math is
correct, the answer is yes. Thank you for your support. - Jake

Have you ever looked a bird dead in the eye and wondered what it
was thinking? With Effin' Birds, the most eagerly anticipated new
volume in the noble avocation of bird identification, you can
venture into nature with confidence. This farcical field guide will
help you identify over 200 birds, but more importantly, for the
first time in history, it will also help you understand what these
birds are thinking: The vainglorious grebe is acutely aware of its
own magnificence. The hipster pelican thinks the world is a
shitbarge. The overbearing heron wishes you better luck next time,
fucknuts. The counsellor swallow wants you to maybe try not being a
dickhead... and many, many more. Alongside beautiful,
scientifically accurate illustrations and a whole lot of swearing
is incisive commentary on modern life and the world we, as humans,
must navigate. Or maybe it's just some pictures of effin' birds,
okay?
