Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything
Author: Bill Amend
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 0740749994
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Meet ten-year-old Lord of the Rings nerd Jason Fox and his high-school freshman sister, Paige. Jason can't believe he and his sister are both vying for front-row seats to the release of the movie. There's no denying that things will never be the same with heartthrob Orlando Bloom's involvement in Jason's favorite series. Don't forget their underachieving older brother, Peter. With three strong adolescent personalities in one household, colorful stuff often hits the fan; dad Roger usually ducks to avoid it, while mom Andy tries to keep it from staining the rug. Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything lampoons memorable moments from 2003 and 2004, such as the East Coast blackout. In the FoxTrot version, an "ink outage" renders several days' strips only partially drawn. "I called Funky Winkerbean. He says the ink's out over the entire grid," Jason reports. In another series of strips, Jason's latest money-making scheme involves creating an animated film to rival the box office blockbusters of Pixar and Dreamworks: "It's the tender story of a leech's search for his missing son. I'm calling it Finding Hemo. The success of FoxTrot has yielded consequences creator Bill Amend may never have imagined. The strip has been used as a question on the game show Jeopardy! and as an answer in the New York Times crossword. It's a fitting irony that FoxTrot has become a fixture of pop culture, the very phenomenon it parodies with such keen wit.

Book Description
'Funny, timely and absolutely pitch perfect. I loved this unfiltered look at the world of influencers.' Clare Mackintosh Get ready for an Insta-Perfect Christmas! Cassie Holliday is at the top of her game. A glamorous wife and mother with 1.3 million Instagram followers, she posts images of her gorgeous husband and cute twins online every day. But it's not easy living the perfect life, and never more so than at Christmas. There aren't enough hand-stitched stocking advent calendars in the world that can gloss over the reality: Cassie's marriage is at breaking point, her finances are precarious and, for the first time in years, no brands want to sponsor her insta-perfect Christmas decor. When she befriends Beth, a quiet new mum who doesn't follow social media, Cassie can finally be herself. Beth only knows the real her: the tired mum who wants to snuggle in her pyjamas and drink wine by the fire. But then Cassie discovers Beth has a secret social media account, and offline friendship tips into online rivalry... Join Cassie, Beth and the rest of the flawed but lovable gang of Insta-Parents as they navigate the festive season... come December, who will be top of the (Christmas) tree? Praise for Everything's Perfect: 'Thought provoking, fluid, vivid... and a reminder to us all that our inside lives rarely reflect what we show on the outside. I loved it.' Lia Louis, author of Eight Perfect Hours 'I couldn't put it down... Nicole Kennedy writes so brilliantly about the weird world we live in.' Lucy Vine, author of Bad Choices 'A witty, no-filter glance at the reality of becoming – and remaining – a social media influencer.' Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City 'A fresh, eye-opening look into the fascinating world of "insta mums".' Katy Colins, author of The Best is Yet to Come 'A smart and thought-provoking read about friendship, parenting and the pressure to appear perfect... Witty and relatable.' Holly Miller 'If you have any interest at all in the strange world of "influencers", this book is The One... I felt like I'd been spied on. Thought provoking and laugh out loud funny. A perfect summer read.' Sarah Turner

Pages : 392
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER · OPTIONED FOR NETFLIX BY A PRODUCER OF THE BATMAN GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER “I loved it." —Stephen King From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets. Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body. Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force. Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

Acm, My Other Man
Author: Sue Fone
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1468522795
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The postcard read, Dont write no more, I may get a new address. Love U. ACM Alfred Clay Moore planned and carried out his suicide. He needed answers to questions before he could leave, and it was his unaware best friend he turned to. This is a love story between a young emergency room nurse and her aide, a self-taught man from the hollers of West Virginia, fifteen years older. The story spans twenty years of their friendship: the games they played, the talks they had and the lessons they learned from each other. This is a heartfelt, poignant tale of a most unique relationship where role of teacher and student continually shifts from one to the other. Although often touched by death in her profession, when she lost ACM, her other man, she had no coping skills for her own grief; she was empty for months. In an effort to stay connected and able to feel him, she pulled out years of letters and pieced them together by date. Then with her morning coffee she re-read his words and traveled backward remembering, reliving and holding on to every moment she could. Finally she understood the urgency of his need to feel completely secure and why he needed to know the answer to, what would happen if ACM, MY OTHER MAN pulls emotions from the heart, soul and mind. Its funny, sad, even a little bit crazy, but very real to a West Virginia Hillbilly and his nurse. This is one womans story of dealing with goodbye and a book for anyone who has ever lost a friend. If you liked Tuesdays with Morrie and Ghost, youll love ACM, MY OTHER MAN. "A warm, heart-felt story of a different kind of love between two of the most unlikely people you will ever meet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll think about all the weirdo's in your life that you've met along the way. Once you start the book it will be hard to put down." ~Andy Petro author of "Remembering The Light Through Prosetry."

Book Description
Haven Prime: Book One The world is gone. All that’s left are the monsters. The creatures attacked Haven VII with no warning. An AI named Kyrios, a nearly omnipotent being, should have protected the city during the Night of the Swarm. Except It didn’t. No one knows why It failed, or why It saved eight specific people: the Captain, the Seer, the Sentry, the Messenger, the Engineer, the Alchemist, the Medic, and the Stewardess. They have no idea of the meaning behind the titles they’ve been given, why they were selected and brought together, or what Kyrios expects from them. When they awake from stasis, they find their city in ruins and everyone long dead. They’re alone—or so they think. But then the creatures start pouring out from underground, looking for them. They don’t stand a chance in a fight, and with limited supplies, they can’t run forever. All they know is that the creatures aren’t their only enemies, and there’s only one place they can turn. Kyrios beckons them toward Its Portal, but can It be trusted? In Its isolated shrine in the desert, they might find the answers they need—if they can survive long enough to reach it.
