Destination: Wedding
by Melissa ShirleySophie... I cannot be married to Harley Crawford. Aside from having a fiance waiting for me at home, Harley is my best friend, my Man of Honor. But the ring on my finger, the video of a Las Vegas Michael Jackson singing "I'll be There" and--did I mention the ring on my finger--all say otherwise. But I'm a lawyer and more than well versed in the procedure to undo an epic mistake. But those abs...that smile...the way he looks at me...certainly my drunk self wouldn't do anything that my sober self didn't secretly want. Right?Harley... Okay, I married my best friend, but I couldn't let her marry that two-timing fiancé of hers. What kind of friend would I be? So, when she suggested a trip to Vegas to heal my newly jilted, semi-broken heart, I might have had an ulterior motive, I might have even orchestrated a wedding. But Sophie isn't just any girl. She's the one. Now, all I have to do is convince her before I lose her forever.

(Yes, I know. It's another true one.)But I've learned that the kindness of strangers can lead to some pleasant surprises, if not actual happiness. So that (along with a fear of flying and a pesky judge who took away my license) is how I found myself driving cross-country to a friend's wedding with the groom's best friend.Hmm. Best friend? Isn't there something about that I should remember...?
Deu top-models i una boja que parla sola
by Daniel ArbósDe vegades agafen ganes de partir-li les fletxes a Cupido. I la cara, sobretot la cara. L’Eduard té trenta-uns-quants anys, fa de redactor en una publicació mèdica i és solter. O desemparellat. O single. O com se n’hagi de dir. Fa poc que ha trencat amb la que havia de ser la mare dels seus fills, l’àvia dels seus néts i la besàvia dels seus besnets, i no se la pot treure del cap. Ni del cor. Ni dels altres òrgans. Per això, la germana i els amics, que no el volen veure tan solter, tan desemparellat, tan single, ni tan com se n’hagi de dir, el pressionen perquè trobi parella. Tampoc pot ser tan difícil... «Des de l’adolescència sóc conscient que Déu, els astres, l’atzar, el monstre de l’espagueti volador del pastafarisme o qui sigui confabula en contra meva. Si a la mateixa parada de metro pugen una desena de models estupendes i una boja que parla sola i fa pudor, no cal patir: aquesta serà la que s’asseurà al meu costat. És una llei universal.»

Seis meses depois nasce Sabina. Enquanto isso, a nova líder alemã, Hilda Muller, descobre como salvar a Terra da invasão Xeno.

Escapando dele pela zilhogésima vez, Keila colide na colônia asteroide Éden, mais famosa pelo reality show “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze” Convencida de que o Éden é o seu destino, Keila mata o ator principal da série “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze”, Abraham Goldstein, o que força o cancelamento da série. Keila finge sua própria morte ao deletar suas contas nas mídias sociais e instrui seu amante, Metatron, a liberar um comunicado de imprensa colocando a culpa desse cancelamento em Bjorn Muller. Bjorn, que está convencido da morta de Keila, já que ele não consegue imaginar ela deletando sua conta no Spacebook, volta à Terra para suas férias. Que são arruinadas quando Bjorn é culpado pelo cancelamento da série favorita de todos! Enquanto “morta”, Keila desenvolve um movimento revolucionário contra o Conselho Terráqueo.

Mas, confiar numa demônia espacial maligna para libertar a humanidade de um grupo plutocrático de opressores é realmente a melhor ideia?
Devangelical
by Erika RaeDevangelical is an irresistibly funny and irreverent memoir about Erika Rae's experience growing up in - and out of - the Evangelical church in the American Bible Belt. As an adolescent who is expected to be hot for God, and not boys, Erika dreads that the Rapture will come before she gets to have sex. All the while she survives exorcisms, radical taboos, satanic back-masking on records, muscle men for Jesus, and cool, mulleted youth group leaders. Eventually Erika emerges as a young, married adult in spiritual limbo. Devangelical is a political and personal exploration of how the Evangelical church affects us all. For Erika Rae, it means a smart and honest shedding of baggage. A lot of heavy, scuffed-up, duct-taped baggage . . . with clowns inside.

Devil Take It
by Daniel Debs NossiterDevil Take It is a sharp, darkly comic satire set against the backdrop of Trump-era Washington, D.C. In this clever and timely moral fable, Satan arrives on the scene disguised as Dr. Grippin Fall, a psychiatrist with a peculiar diagnosis for Eustace Bogges, the editor of the Washington Oracle&’s letters page: mortality. As the Devil guides Bogges through a series of bizarre therapy sessions, he entices him with a doctrine of laughter and mirth inspired by the 16th-century writer François Rabelais. Meanwhile, Bogges, under a pseudonym, pens a letter to his own page suggesting that society would be better off if everyone simply minded their own business. To his surprise, the slogan seizes the imagination of all of Washington&’s inhabitants, with even Trump jumping on board—for his own selfish ends. The result is an absurd spiral of civil unrest that momentarily brings history to a halt. With biting wit and resonant themes, Devil Take It skewers the political and social landscape in a way that is reminiscent of the great masters of satire from Mark Twain to Mihkail Bulgakov and John Kennedy Toole.
