The feel-good comedy adventure continues! Following a hectic year immersed in all things crafting, Charlotte Newman was looking forward to a much-needed holiday. And the fact that a few friends from the Crafternoon Sewcial Club were also tagging along was an added bonus as far as she was concerned. But before she could let her hair down too much, there was some unexpected interest in her expanding crafting clubs in the form of a BBC news reporter, eager to record a feature about her various initiatives.

সুখে থাকতে ভূতে কিল মারে বলে বাংলায় একটা প্রবাদ আছে। মানে, সংসারে এমন কিছু বেশ মানুষ আছে তারা সুখে শান্তিতে...

In 2017 the Figaroa family of Mexico City was on the run from the Cartel. They crossed the border into Texas optimisticly seeking asylum. Instead their four year old twins were taken from them and they were deported.

When ordinary potter Efim Hawkins accidentally revives Honest John Barlow—a slick, sharp-witted man preserved from centuries past—Barlow awakens to a society in catastrophic decline. Overpopulation has exploded. Education has collapsed. The average intelligence has plummeted. And the masses, countless and unquestioning, march forward under a system that rewards ignorance and conformity. Where others see chaos, Barlow sees opportunity.

The year 6969 is filled with fascism, bigotry, misogyny, and everything that is the complete opposite of holiday cheer. No need to worry! Shark-Squatch and his BFF Tilly are here to give all of those losers a holiday-wrapped knuckle sandwich!

When Brockleby Garden World launches its latest promotion — a mysterious new mulch dubbed “Zombie Compost” — no one expects the special offer to come with actual flesh-eating customers. Between pensioners armed with novelty flamingos, teenage shelf-stackers wielding leaf blowers, and a manager in denial about everything (including his haircut), things quickly go from compost to catastrophe. Now, a mismatched bunch of survivors must battle reanimated bargain-hunters, botanical chaos, and a soundtrack of 1950s swing music while trapped in the UK's most middle-class apocalypse.

Performed in full character voices, this audiobook delivers the complete “leaked North Pole scandal” in hilarious, rapid-fire segments. Irreverent, ridiculous, and wildly inappropriate, this is the holiday roast you never knew you needed.

Originally published in 1925, Heart of a Dog by Russian author and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, is a dark, fantastical satire of the failures inherent in the dream of a Communist utopia. When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster—drunken, profligate, aggressive, and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realizes he will have to try to reverse the operation, but the dog isn’t so keen.

You’ve been told humanity crawled out of the mud, figured out fire, built pyramids with sticks, and suddenly invented Wi-Fi. You’ve been fed a neat little timeline that skips over the giants, the gods, the glowing sky chariots, and the inconvenient artifacts that scream, “This doesn’t belong here.” This book is what happens when you stop believing the museum version and start asking: What if the ancient gods weren’t gods at all? What if aliens kickstarted civilization, then ghosted us like a bad Tinder date?

England's most famous date, 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death. Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk. Unfortunately, this isn’t a tale of average monks. Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong or is up to something. When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on.

Seventeen-year-old Alan can’t stand rows. But, though the Second World War has ended, peace hangs by a fine thread at home: his troublesome sister Madge creeps off for night-time liaisons with a German POW; their ineffectual father – broken by the hardships of war and an unhappy marriage – can’t put food on the table despite the family’s middle-class manners; his mother pursues her escapist fantasies in romantic novels and love affairs. Obedient, faithful Alan is trapped among them all, the focus of their jibes and resentment, as inexorably the family heads towards disaster.
