Running Press,U.S. Unfckupable
Book SynopsisAn experienced hand at lighting the f***ing way forward, Zach Golden has curated and honed a collection of dishes that anyone, even you, can make without screwing them up. From his first book, where he approached a mundane everyday question of what to make for dinner with the endless variety of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novel, to two successive titles guiding the aimless masses towards what to drink and what to do with their lives, Zach is the master at telling other people what to do. This next concept marries scaled-down kitchen techniques with satisfying outcomes, with a heavy dose of profanity and deadpan humor. Chicken and Rice Soup, Roasted Vegetable and Bacon Hash, Fennel, Sausage, and Arugula Pasta, and more will deliver on meals-as long as you don''t do anything stupid like start a grease fire, cut off a finger, or spill hot pasta water down your pants. Unless, as he says, you''re really, really dumb, they''re Unfuckupable.

This book presents lighthearted, slightly twisted, and always funny practical uses for a unicorn. Everyone loves unicorns—what’s not to love? They’re beautiful, magical creatures.

Little, Brown Book Group Calypso
Book SynopsisIf you''ve ever laughed your way through David Sedaris''s cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you''re getting with Calypso. You''d be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it''s impossible to take a vacation from yourself.With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it''s a book that can make you laugh ''til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris''s writing has never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you r
