Suburbia Made Me Do It by Ashley Fontainne (2 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

My name is Roxy Davenport--the epitome of a suburban housewife. For over twenty-five years, I have based my entire life off the ancient, mental code of ethics passed down from previous generations I secretly nicknamed The Suburbia Handbook. High school sweethearts must marry and the wife is to stay at home and raise the children while the husband brings home the bacon. All married couples must procreate and raise, at a minimum, 2.5 children, preferably staggered in ages by three years. A woman's job as housewife is to maintain a pleasant, always spotless home for her family. Check. Housewives must service their husband's needs when the man's urges overtake him, no matter how tired, sick, in pain, or stressed the wife feels. For over twenty years, I adhered to the strict rules... until now. After a series of traumatic events, my life spirals out of control, destroying each and every archaic, foundational rule. Except Rule Number Eleven: One must defend their family, no matter what. This rule trumps everything else, even if the defense comes in the form of bodily harm to another. Or until death do us part.

PICKLED MAGIC: THE GIANT OMNIBUS EDITION by RICHARD J. WATTS (10 Reviews)    Price verified 16 hours ago

If, like me, you adore Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories and dearly miss reading new novels in this unique genre then I know you are going to absolutely fall in love with this new and very original series of books. They are perhaps a little naughtier than STP's in places, possibly a shade crazier and with a touch of iron(y) and steel woven into its comedic comfort blanket. They are also my own small tribute to Sir Terry, my personal literary deity: A wizard's apprentice embarks upon a personal quest to set right the wrongs of his past. Unfortunately, his dreadful step-father has unwittingly caused him to avoid anything alcoholic, which proves to be a reoccurring problem throughout the story, since the singular potion that could potentially release his magic, and his dreams of a little payback, is over ninety-eight percent proof. Walter Farmfound has a desperate need to become a wizard and to unlock his unique Wild Magic; which is an unstoppable force of nature, but also completely unhinged and with a life and an agenda of its own and refuses to cooperate; at least not until it's been taken out for an expensive, candle-lit dinner. When his magic is finally unleashed, Walter believes he will at last be able to make everyone sorry for all their years of unsought-for... attentions; because who messes with a proper wizard, right? Unfortunately, the only time Walter is able to access his all-powerful and untameable Wild Magic is when he is completely inebriated - Pickled even - and therefore without any of those pesky, restraining inhibitions; and quite possibly a single functioning brain cell. So what could possibly go wrong? Pickled Magic is a hilarious, Pratchett-esque rollercoaster of a journey of riotous discovery, naughtiness and jokes as Walter's quest takes him ever-nearer to the ultimate power in the magical world of Allyssion, and perhaps finally to a little personal peace of his own. Yet this story is about so, so much more than something as mundane ...

The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe (E-BOOKARAMA) (201 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The stories about Baron Munchausen were first collected and published by an anonymous author in 1781. An English version was published in London in 1785 by Rudolf Erich Raspe as "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen." It is not clear how much of the story material derives from the Baron himself; however, it is known that the majority of the stories are based on folktales that have been in circulation for many centuries before Munchausen's birth. "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" presents a certain eighteenth-century German noble ventured abroad for military service and returned with a series of amusingly outrageous stories. Baron Munchausen's astounding feats included riding cannonballs, traveling to the Moon, and pulling himself out of a bog by his own hair. Since the book appeared readers have been delighted in knowing about these unlikely adventures. Hence, by the nineteenth century, the tales had undergone expansions and transformations by several notable authors and had been translated into many languages. A figure as colourful as the Baron naturally appeals to the artistic imagination, and he has been depicted in numerous works of art. His definitive visual image, however, belongs to Gustave Doré.

My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together. Sounds reasonable, right? And it would be. If it weren't my mother. My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he's openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by having sex in my childhood bed. And by intrigued, I mean a series of really hot suggestions that make me whimper when I have to say no. Wait-why am I saying no, again? Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly-button lint and use... a certain kind of hair... to make thatched roofs on little decorative elf homes? Those people are saner than my mother. There is no force of nature stronger-or more emotionally volatile-than a fifty-something grandmother determined to create holiday memories. Wait a minute. Maybe there is. My husband. Listen to the audiobook as well, narrated by Audie award winner Tanya Eby!

Life in Pleasant Hills, Texas, flows like sweet molasses. Normally. But nothing is pleasant or normal about murder. I never thought, in my wildest dreams at 26-years-old, I would see my first dead body. Or take over my grandmother's floundering pet grooming business, without a lick of experience aside from managing the shop's (Stone Age) back office, drain my savings account for the shop's renovations, begin hearing my Chihuahua's voice inside my head, and wind up a possible suspect in the murder of one of my employees. Now, if I can clear my name, discover the real killer -- without getting whacked myself, come to terms with hearing my chatty pup, all while keeping the family business afloat, my life won't slip down the proverbial drain. ?Author's Note: Some, more mature, readers in the humorous, cozy mystery genre may love to hate my main character, Steely Lamarr, and that's okay. But as the writer, it is my duty to remain true to her character and her story. Steely doesn't claim to have all the answers, nor does she always make the wisest of decisions. Her character is loosely based on a few of my own experiences married to a law enforcement officer in my 20's, and coupled with inspiration drawn from our oldest daughter's personality, whose steely attitude and tenacious spirit kept her feet on the ground and her head held high during the difficulties in her young adult life. As with my own daughter, I have a deep appreciation for Steely's growth, maturity, and her willingness to own and learn from her mistakes as the series progresses. My hope is readers will acknowledge and appreciate this as well. If not, remember, there's always pie, and pie makes everything better. ~Publisher's note: This is the 2nd edition of How to Leash a Thief. Many readers of the 1st edition stated it read like a "cozy" mystery. Although it does contain many cozy mystery elements, we at Pigasus Publications do not want to mislead readers.

Handbook for the Criminally Insane (Codex of the Demon King 1) by B. K. Brain (Brian Holtz) (410 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Zombies. Ghosts. A serial killer. Demon Chihuahua. So, you know, bring an axe or something. Welcome to Redmondsburg. You're just gonna love it here! From the tall statue of Hank Redmond - the founder of the town - in Pheasant Park, to the local eateries and historic library over on Whipple Avenue. Main Street is literally gorged with quaint antique emporiums and locally owned trinket shops! You'll be so busy soaking in the small town atmosphere that you won't even mind the smell emanating from somewhere south of town. There's nothing of any interest happening at Lakeshore Cemetery, and there are no strange or repulsive odors. In fact, forget I even mentioned it. Dead means dead in Redmondsburg. We promise. The Mayor, currently campaigning for re-election, is a friendly sort. He isn't bent on sacrificing an innocent on Halloween in order to bind with an ancient and unholy power. Nope, not him. His little dog isn't a bloodthirsty demon. Of course not! It's perfectly safe here. You're just gonna love it! We all do. Oh and if you see someone that looks dead or something, it's probably the flu. It definitely wouldn't be a zombie. Because that would just be stupid. The book is free, so take one!
