The Parrots
by Filippo Bologna Howard CurtisThree men are preparing to do battle. Their goal is a prestigious literary prize. And each man will do anything to win it. For the young Beginner, loved by critics more than readers, it means fame. For The Master, old, exhausted, preoccupied with his prostate, it means money. And for The Writer-successful, vain and in his prime-it is a matter of life and death. As the rivals lie, cheat and plot their way to victory, their paths crossing with ex-wives, angry girlfriends, preening publishers and a strange black parrot, the day of the Prize Ceremony takes on a far darker significance than they could have imagined.
Parsifal's Page (The Squire's Tales #4)
by Gerald MorrisPiers is desperate to become a page to escape the dirty, tedious labor of his father's blacksmith shop. So when a knight arrives announcing that he's on "the quest," Piers begs to go along. Off on a series of adventures he never dreamed possible, Piers and the knight quickly run into difficulties. The knight is slain by Parsifal who is on a quest of his own. Parsifal is unlike anyone Piers has ever met. He doesn't behave "knightly" at all. Slowly, Piers realizes that being a knight has nothing to do with shining armor and winning jousts. And, as their journey continues, they find that to achieve their quest they must learn more than knighthood: they must learn about themselves. The tale of Parsifal has been told more than that of any other knight, but no one has ever told his story quite like Gerald Morris does in his fourth Arthurian novel, another tour de force of humor, action, magic, and, as always, true love.

The Part About the Dragon was (Mostly) True
by Sean GibsonSure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the dragon. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure. But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they'redoing. Sometimes they're clueless. Sometimes beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes they don't actually want to eat your children. Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller (at least, to hear her tell it), is here to set the record straight. See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she finally able to tell the real story-for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat. Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments-things are going to get messy.

The Particulars of Peter: Dance Lessons, DNA Tests, and Other Excuses to Hang Out with My Perfect Dog
by Kelly ConaboyFrom one of the Internet's most original voices, a hilarious journey through the odd corners of obsessive dog ownership and the author's own infatuation with her perfect dog Peter.The author met Peter in the spring of 2017. He -- calm, puppy-eyed, with the heart of a poet and the soul of, also, a poet -- came to her first as a foster. He was unable to stay with his previously assigned foster for reasons that are none of your business, but which we will tell you were related to frequent urination. The rescue needed someone free of the sort of responsibilities that would force her to regularly leave the house for either work or socializing, and a writer was the natural choice. Thus began a love story for the ages. The Particulars of Peter is a funny exploration of the joy found in loving a dog so much it makes you feel like you're going to combust, and the author's potentially codependent relationship with her own sweet dog, Peter. Readers will follow Peter and his owner to Woofstock, "the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America," and accompany them to lessons in Canine Freestyle, a sport where dogs perform a routine set to music, creating the illusion that they're dancing with their owners. From learning about Peter's DNA, to seeing if dogs can sense the presence of ghosts, The Particulars of Peter will give readers a smart, entertaining respite from the harsh world of humans into the funny little world of dogs.Readers will accompany this lovable duo through exciting trips, lessons, quiet moments of connection, and probably a failure or two. By fusing memoir and infotainment, The Particulars of Peter promises to refresh the perennially popular dog lit category in a scrumptiously bighearted barnstormer of a book.

Partir à la dérive à bord du QE2
by Nicholas WalkerÉcrit par un auteur à succès, voici l'histoire hilarante de sa dépression et de sa fuite autour du monde sur le QE2 ! Histoire incroyable mais véridique, l'état mental fragile de l'auteur lui donne une perspective différente sur les voyages et les millionnaires qu'il côtoie. Un livre de voyage vraiment différent qui vous fera rire à chaque page. C'est l'histoire vraie de la guérison d'une dépression nerveuse par une croisière autour du monde à bord du Queen Elizabeth II. C'est un aperçu du style de vie luxueux des très riches, vu du point de vue quelque peu sardonique de quelqu'un qui n'est pas tout à fait sain d'esprit. Nous visitons 40 pays et chacun est traité avec les observations de l'auteur, qui sont presque toujours humoristiques et écrites par quelqu'un dont l'état mental fragile le pousse à jeter toute prudence aux vents. Mais plus encore, Nick n'est pas un voyageur conventionnel : il se fait arrêter à New York et subit une fouille corporelle intime, il repousse trois agresseurs armés en Jamaïque, se dispute avec les douaniers australiens, a un accident de moto à Bali, est attaqué par deux vieillards au Taj Mahal et est expulsé du Vietnam. Cependant, le livre parle surtout de sa vie à bord du QE2 : ses histoires d'amour, sa relation croissante avec le personnel et leur mode de vie intime et cloisonné, le concert désastreux du personnel qui se termine en bagarre générale, les excès des passagers ultra-riches et les situations bizarres qui n'arrivent que dans ce genre d’endroit, comme la nuit où il est piégé sur la piste de danse avec les trois femmes qu'il fréquente. En somme, c'est l'histoire d'un homme retrouvant sa santé mentale jusqu'à ce qu'il soit finalement déposé sur le quai à Southampton où il a commencé, mais cette fois-ci, il est sans le sou et vient d'apprendre que tout ce qu'il possède au monde a été jeté par-dessus bord dans la mer.

They feel young and reckless as they party the night away—and reckless they clearly were when the following morning, they wake up beside each other with rings on their fingers. Their impulsive nuptials might be a blessing in disguise, though, when they realize that both of their careers could benefit from the marriage. So they play the part of a blissfully wedded couple. Yet when their passion comes hurling back, they realize their feelings are just as real as they were back when they were teens.
