As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren't only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent... and infuriating...)This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.

Cheer Up, Mr. Widdicombe: A Novel
by Evan JamesNamed one of 2019&’s most anticipated reads by Entertainment Weekly, &“a hilarious and witty joy of a novel about a family&’s insanely dramatic summer at their new island home&” (Cosmopolitan) in the Pacific Northwest. The inimitable—some might say incorrigible—Frank Widdicombe is suffering from a deep depression. Or so his wife, Carol, believes. But Carol is convinced that their new island home—Willowbrook Manor on the Puget Sound—is just the thing to cheer him up. And so begins a whirlwind summer as their house becomes the epicenter of multiple social dramas involving the family, their friends, and a host of new acquaintances. The Widdicombes&’ son, Christopher, is mourning a heartbreak after a year abroad in Italy. Their personal assistant, Michelle, begins a romance with preppy screenwriter Bradford, who also happens to be Frank&’s tennis partner. Meanwhile, a local named Marvelous Matthews is hired to create a garden at the manor—and is elated to find Gracie Sloane, bewitching self-help author, in residence as well. When this alternately bumbling and clever cast of characters comes together, they turn &“as frothy and bitter as a pot of freshly brewed dark-roast coffee, the kind that&’s always available on the Widdicombe&’s sideboard. And the dialogue, oh how it singes and sears&” (The Washington Post). A &“gleefully over-the-top satiric debut&” (Kirkus Reviews), Cheer Up, Mr. Widdicombe is perfect for fans of Maria Semple&’s Where&’d You Go, Bernadette?, Andrew Sean Greer&’s Less, and Jess Walter&’s Beautiful Ruins.

Cheerfulness Breaks In (Virago Modern Classics #367)
by Angela Thirkell'You read her, laughing, and want to do your best to protect her characters from any reality but their own' New York TimesIt is summer 1939 and the social event of the year is about to take place: Rose Birkett, a flighty beauty with a penchant for breaking engagements and hearts, is finally getting married, and the whole village - especially her parents - breathes a sigh of relief.By autumn, however, summer weddings seem a distant memory as war reaches Barsetshire. While the younger generation throws itself into the war effort with cheerful aplomb, older residents remember the last war keenly, and are fearful. When an entire London school of evacuees arrive, as well as a number of refugees, the village rallies round to accommodate them. Some inhabitants, though, fail to welcome the newcomers with open arms. First published in 1940, this is a humorous and poignant picture of wartime in a rural community.
Cheers, America
by Justin WebbAn editor at BBC-TV takes a witty and honest look at the "special" relationship between the US and the UK.Britain and America no longer see their relationship as merely "special"; they have a new word to describe it: "essential." Justin Webb would prefer all adjectives to be abandoned in an effort to tell the real story. As the BBC's former North American editor for eight years, Webb is perfectly placed to comment on the relationship between these two great nations, and he identifies a fault line in the long-standing marriage between them--a cultural divide that separates us. Furthermore, he argues that recognizing this divide, even celebrating it, is the key to a rich future collaboration. An amusing, myth-breaking, unflinchingly honest read, Cheers, America is not an attack on either the English or the Americans. It is a wry account of the transatlantic friendship as it actually exists--and the surprising lessons we can still learn from each other.
Cheers to the Duke (The Widow's Brew Series #3)
by Sally MacKenzieIn USA Today bestselling author Sally MacKenzie&’s intoxicatingly romantic series, the &“fallen&” ladies of Puddledon Manor&’s Benevolent Home are restoring their reputations—and their future prospects—by operating their very own brewery and alehouse . . . As the founder of the Home, Jo, the widowed Lady Havenridge, is determined to be there for the women who need her. But when those same women conspire to accept an invitation on her behalf, she finds herself suddenly on the way to the Earl of Darrow&’s home for the christening party of the son of her longtime friend and former partner, Pen, now the Countess of Darrow. Guests will include her other former partner, Caro—and Edward Russell, the new Duke of Grainger and the Home&’s generous benefactor. While Jo is determined to resist her friends&’ matchmaking ways, the duke&’s handsome looks and charming words are enough to make the lovely widow a little reckless . . . Even after a year, the title of &“duke&” still sits strangely on Edward Russell&’s shoulders. But the responsibilities of the title are his duty, no matter his less-than-positive opinion of the nobility. When Edward encounters Jo—capable, fun, and utterly irresistible--he&’s delighted to find someone he truly connects with. A trick of fate has placed them on two different paths . . . but Edward is beginning to realize that perhaps he&’s notthe kind of man who does the expected thing after all . . . Praise for The Merry Viscount &“An emotionally satisfying holiday romance full of love and redemption.&”—Kirkus Reviews STARRED review &“A zany cast of characters . . . and humor as upstairs and downstairs celebrate Christmas together.&” —Publishers Weekly

by Sarah WeeksTwo hilarious adventures in one volume starring “a loveable character . . . Fans of Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid titles will be drawn to Oggie” (School Library Journal).Oggie Cooder loves cheese so much that he carries a slice of cheese with him wherever he goes.

No matter how you slice it, you’re going to laugh when you read about one small kid becoming a really big cheese, in this hilarious combination of Oggie Cooder and Oggie Cooder, Party Animal.Praise for Oggie Cooder“Oggie’s adventure delivers a message about staying true to oneself, but the lesson is never cheesy; it is as light-hearted and tasty as Oggie’s charving lessons.” —Kidsreads.com“What is refreshing is that Oggie doesn’t have to change his nature to change his social status. Gentle humor with a satisfying message for middle-grade readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
