Homerun voor de Liefde
by Birgit Kluger Alfred Bram ZoerMeneer "One Week" en mevrouw "ik geloof niet meer in de liefde". Kan dit goed gaan? Voor de pers is honkbalprofessional Don Horman meneer "One Week". Langer dan een week was hij nog nooit samen met een vrouw. De vrouwelijke fans voelen zich uitgedaagd om dat record te breken en dit is voor hen de enige reden om zichzelf aan zijn voeten te werpen. Daarom komt hem het aanbod om een paar maanden in Duitsland, het Siberië van het honkbal, te trainen, goed uit. Eindelijk krijgt hij de kans om zijn charme te testen op vrouwen die zijn celebrity-status niet kennen. Sabrina is een succesvolle schrijver van liefdesromans, of op zijn minst was zij dat, totdat haar man haar zonder enige waarschuwing in de steek liet. Plotseling is er geen happy end meer in haar boeken en wordt haar bestaan bedreigd. Don komt in haar leven, het ideale onderzoeksobject om in ieder geval haar nieuwe erotische serie met fantasie te inspireren. Geen van beide denkt aan liefde...

The Honest Art Dictionary: A Jovial Trip Through Art Jargon
by The Art History BabesFrom the popular @arthistorybabespodcast, “a tidy, helpful and informative guide to what can be a Tower of Babel of art jargon” (Republican American).In this art dictionary like no other, The Art History Babes (the hosts behind the prolific podcast) break down the elitist world of art with definitions of over three hundred essential art terms.Art speak is infamously alienating, strange, and confusing as hell. Think stereotypical, stylish art dealers who describe art as ‘derivative’ and ‘dynamic’—or stuffy auction houses filled with portraits of dead white people called ‘Old Masters’. What do these words mean? Where did they come from? And how can you actually use them?The Honest Art Dictionary spans art history, iconic movements, peculiar words, and pretentious phrases. After reading this book, you’ll be able to lay down that art jargon with the best of them. From avant-garde to oeuvre, the Harlem Renaissance to New Objectivity, museum fatigue to memento mori—the Babes use their whip-smart humor, on-point knowledge, and a heavy dose of candor to explain even the most complex ideas in bite-sized, relatable and often humorous definitions. With illustrations from Carmen Casado—The Honest Art Dictionary is a valuable starter pack for those new to the study of art history, those re-exploring the discipline, or those simply interested in impressing their friends during a trip to the local art museum.

by Bunmi LaditanWhen you love someone, accept them as they are—pants or no pants The toddler stage can be a rude awakening for parents. Seemingly overnight, their sweet infants morph into tyrants whose iron will is matched only by their adorableness. One minute they’re saying "I love you," and the next minute they’re delivering an unexpected slap to your face. Parents aren’t blameless, though—toddlers have their own grievances. They just don’t express them “with their words,” whatever that means. But finally, after minutes of horror, they have the Honest Toddler to speak on their behalf. Who better to instruct parents on the needs of toddlers than an actual toddler who can authoritatively spell out preferred foods (fishy crackers, stat!), sleep training methods (hint: none), and the proper response to bananas with strings (complete collapse). With a voice that is at once inimitable and universal, the Honest Toddler has built a loyal following of parents laughing through their tears as they recognize their own child in the shenanigans of one bravely honest tot.
