I love you, Ashley
by Esperansa GrasiaSi tú también te mueres de ganas por saber qué pasó cuando Juanjo conoció a Ashley, ¡este es tu libro! Joé, a las tías no hay quien las entienda. Desde luego, no hay quien entienda qué quieren los chicos. Y a la que ha venido de intercambio la pillo todavía menos. Si me hago lío con loslistenings, la voy a entender a ella, macho. No poder ir al Baile de Primavera con Cameron me parecía la peor de las tragedias, pero ¿esto? Pasar un mes en este apartamento diminuto, con esta familia absurda y teniendo que ir a clase con el estúpido que me ha tocado de compañero... ¡Esto sí que es un drama! Ahli, dice que se llama Ahli. Eso sí que lo he pillado. Bueno, le voy a preguntar al Jose, a ver si él sabe qué puedo hacer con ella para que no se me muera de aburrimiento. Que si la palma, me suspenden y, si me suspenden, ¡ME QUITAN LA MOTO! Aunque, en realidad, que Juanjo sea tan tonto me viene bien. Me río con sus tonterías y, cuando me río, se me olvida que Cameron no me hace ni caso y que todos los planes de futuro que teníamos (la casa de dos plantas, la parejita de hijos rubios y el cachorrito de golden retriever) se han ido al traste. Bueno, igual la que tenía los planes de futuro era solo yo, pero... Espera un momento, ¿qué es esto? ¿Un casco de acompañante? ¡JUANJOOO! ¡Ya puedes tener cuidado, que como esmoñes a la muchacha con la moto te la cargas!

I viaggi del passaggio di secolo. Viaggio a Maiorca
by Erica Mario Garrido EspinosaCronache, diari e racconti di viaggi e avventure di un tempo in cui i viaggiatori scoprivano il mondo senza l'aiuto delle innovazioni tecnologiche attuali Cinque racconti di viaggi, narrati con molto humor e ironia. Cinque cronache di un tempo in cui i viaggiatori non portavano con sé una fotocamera digitale con una memoria adatta a contenere mille foto; e nemmeno un telefonino con un’infinità di funzioni in grado di risolvere qualsiasi imprevisto. Il lettore si immergerà in un viaggio iniziatico, in percorsi di pura avventura e ricorderà un avvenimento storico senza precedenti, accaduto nello stesso periodo in cui è stato intrapreso uno di questi viaggi. Tutti questi episodi sono avvenuti mentre ci lasciavamo il XX secolo alle spalle e iniziavamo a vivere un cambiamento radicale verso un uso così estremo della tecnologia che ha cambiato il nostro attuale modo di viaggiare. Intanto che si arrivava a questo punto, continuavamo a guardare una mappa, non usavamo il GPS e cercavamo una cabina telefonica per chiamare casa. Abbi il coraggio di rivivere tutte quelle sensazioni grazie a questi racconti; alla fine, “viaggiare è il modo migliore per investire il denaro”, vero?
I was Told There'd be Cake
by Sloane CrosleyWry, hilarious, and profoundly genuine, this debut collection of literary essays from Sloane Crosley is a celebration of fallibility and haplessness in all their glory. From despoiling an exhibit at the Natural History Museum to provoking the ire of her first boss to siccing the cops on her mysterious neighbor, Crosley can do no right despite the best of intentions -- or perhaps because of them. Together, these essays create a startlingly funny and revealing portrait of a complex and utterly recognizable character who aims for the stars but hits the ceiling, and the inimitable city that has helped shape who she is. I Was Told There'd Be Cake introduces a strikingly original voice, chronicling the struggles and unexpected beauty of modern urban life. Sloane Crosley is also the author of How Did You Get This Number.
I'd Like to Play Alone, Please: Essays
by Tom SeguraA #2 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From a massively successful stand-up comedian and co-host of chart-topping podcasts &“2 Bears 1 Cave&” and &“Your Mom&’s House,&” hilarious real-life stories of parenting, celebrity encounters, youthful mistakes, misanthropy, and so much more. Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It&’s not that he hates his friends and family — he&’s not a monster — he&’s just beat, which is why his son&’s (ruthless) first full sentence, &“I&’d like to play alone, please,&” has since become his mantra. In this collection of stories, Tom combines his signature curmudgeonly humor with a revealing look at some of the ridiculous situations that shaped him and the ludicrous characters who always seem to seek him out. The stories feature hilarious anecdotes about Tom's time on the road, including some surreal encounters with celebrities at airports; his unfiltered South American family; the trials and tribulations of parenting young children with bizarrely morbid interests; and, perhaps most memorably, experiences with his dad who, like any good Baby Boomer father, loves to talk about his bowel movements and share graphic Vietnam stories at inappropriate moments. All of this is enough to make anyone want some peace and quiet. I&’D LIKE TO PLAY ALONE, PLEASE will have readers laughing out loud and nodding in agreement with Segura's message: in a world where everyone is increasingly insane, sometimes you just need to be alone.

I'd Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out the Garage: Choosing Laughter Over Tears (I'd Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out The Garage Ser.)
by Fran Di GiacomoAn inspiring and witty memoir by a woman battling cancer—with laughter.Fran Di Giacomo made it through one case of cancer at forty—then got hit with a worse case in her fifties. Tired of the somber, weepy books she kept getting from well-meaning friends, she stumbled upon a book that made her laugh out loud—and realized that was what she&’d been missing. Laughter felt good—and that was how she wanted to feel.Inspired, she wrote this unique memoir, an unsentimental, sharply funny take on her experience—including her favorite techniques for shamelessly exploiting the chemo lifestyle. She reveals the way that indulging her sense of humor not only kept her sane during the hardest moments, but also allowed her to continue her successful career as an artist, even through thirteen hospitalizations, ten surgeries, and constant chemotherapy. Her book is terrifically entertaining—as her oncologist warns in the foreword, you should avoid reading it in the immediate postoperative period due to the risk of popping a suture. It can also help other cancer patients, or anyone dealing with hardship, to cultivate a zesty enthusiasm for life and empower themselves to keep fighting.

I'll Be There for You: The One about Friends
by Kelsey MillerToday, Friends is remembered as an icon of ’90s comedy and the Must See TV years. But when the series debuted in 1994, no one anticipated the sensation it would become. From the first wave of Friends mania to the backlash and renaissance that followed, the show maintained an uncanny connection to its audience, who saw it both as a reflection of their own lives and an aspirational escape from reality. In the years since, Friends has evolved from prime-time megahit to nostalgic novelty, and finally, to certified classic. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe have entered the pantheon of great television characters, and yet their stories remain relevant still. <p><p> I’ll Be There for You is a deep dive into Friends history and lore, exploring all aspects of the show, from its unlikely origins to the societal conditions that amplified its success. Journalist and pop culture expert Kelsey Miller relives the show’s most powerful moments, sheds light on its sometimes dated and problematic elements, and examines the worldwide trends that Friends catalyzed, from contemporary coffee culture to the wildly popular ’90s haircut The Rachel. Taking readers behind the scenes, Miller traces the cast’s rise to fame and untangles the complex relationship between the actors and their characters. Weaving in revelatory interviews and personal stories, she investigates the role of celebrity media, world-changing events and the dawning of the digital age—all of which influenced both the series and its viewers. <p> I’ll Be There for You is the definitive retrospective of Friends, not only for fans of the series, but for anyone who’s ever wondered what it is about this show—and television comedy—that resonates so powerfully.
