Book Description
Things You Can't Say Out Loud is a collection of humorous essays touching upon a wide variety of interesting and timely topics, including what the hell is wrong with Florida. And also France. Ha ha. Those places are great, as too are talking heads lobbing guano at one another on cable news. As illustrated by a worried world frantically fretting over dramatic decline in civilized discourse--and accompanying end to governance and plumbing--as shown most recently by Wolf Blitzer sucker punching Tucker Carlson behind the buffet table at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. A brouhaha that ended with every Democratic presidential hopeful holding a handful of hair from the head of at least one Fox News anchor. Not to worry; however, given that crass divisiveness and coarse discourse bear a direct relationship to the unimportance of the subject under discussion, an important discovery to be known henceforth as the principle of reverse hyperbole. Laughs aplenty from these and other such wry observations are promised in this page-turning volume, albeit one that comes with a warning against consumption of contents while driving on the I-95, lest the driver spit Diet Coke through her nose from cackling outburst while trying to pass a tank truck. Safety first. Except in most of Florida. And France.

Book Description
At 21, Nicole has struggled with bulimia for six years. Desperate to overcome her addiction, or so she thinks, she seeks out Jake, a therapist, for help. She quickly learns her relationship with B- the persona created to embody this "thing" she fights with constantly - involves more than she anticipated. Yet, life doesn't wait for Nicole to overcome her problems and simultaneously bombards her with the stress of an end-of-year Christmas party, everyday eating worries, and a family vacation to London jeopardizing her grade in a class with an unforgiving professor. Suddenly, Nicole find her world flipped upside down...or maybe just temporarily sideways and backwards...and consumed by friends, family, school, therapy, and the ever-present, sometimes ironic, occasionally funny but usually just annoying voice of B inside her head. The question becomes, can she finally live without him? Nicole's story is a supportive, honest, reflective, and occasionally humorous look at what it takes to overcome an eating disorder.

The f**k to sleep.” Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland.

Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won’t care.

Book Description
I want to be able to tell you that this story is about Noah, because a story about him and about how easy it was to fall in love with him would be a story worth telling, and a story worth listening to. Unfortunately, this is my story, and it’s not one that’s worth much of anything. But I’ll tell it to you anyway. There’s not much left, after all.
