How to Be a Beta Male , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 701min
From rom coms to wrestling and fatherhood to fist fights, Robert Crampton's How to Be a Beta Male is a brilliantly funny and sometimes moving insight into being a modern-day bloke. Robert Crampton has been writing his Beta Male column for The Times since 2001. A much-loved weekly insight into modern masculinity - whatever that might mean - Beta Male strives to unlock the secrets of contemporary relationships in all their frequent glory, occasional frustration and ongoing complexity. While by his own admission totally failing in this task, Crampton is at any rate amusing as he goes about his business, as his legions of loyal fans would attest. How to Be a Beta Male is a carefully curated selection, bursting with observational nuggets on the minutiae of daily domestics and disasters in the Crampton household and offering the very best of a 16-year-long account of what it is to be a beta male married to an alpha female. From his attempts at DIY to disciplining their children to trying once in a while to put his foot down to getting involved in a punch-up in the street in her defence, Robert continues to fail to impress his wife but always delights his fans. It's a very smart, extremely funny and yet surprisingly sensitive exploration of the trials, tribulations - and, ultimately, triumphs - of not being young, free and single. ungekürzt.

Queerly Beloved (eBook, ePUB)
A people-pleasing bridesmaid-for-hire falls for the crushable new lesbian in town. Will she finally find her happily ever after-and her own voice? ONE OF BUZZFEED'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022 Amy, a semicloseted queer baker and bartender in mid-2010s Oklahoma, has spent a lifetime putting other people's needs before her own. Until, that is, she hits it off with Charley, a brilliant, attractive engineer who's just moved to Tulsa. Suddenly, Amy's found something-someone-she actually wants. Her tight-knit group of chosen family is thrilled she's finally moving on from her ex. Mostly, though, they want Amy to find a way to show up for love-and life-as her authentic self. But when a one-off gig subbing in for a bridesmaid turns into a full-time business-thanks to Amy's baking talents, crafting skills, and years watching rom-coms and Say Yes to the Dress-her deep desire to please kicks into overdrive, at her own expense. It's not until Amy's precarious balancing act strains her relationships to the breaking point that she must decide what it looks like to be true to herself-and if she has the courage to try.- Shop: buecher

Perfectly Parvin
Fourteen-year-old Iranian-American Parvin Mohammadi sets out to win the ultimate date to homecoming in this heartfelt and outright hilarious debut. Now in paperback. Parvin Mohammadi has just been dumped-only days after receiving official girlfriend status. Not only is she heartbroken, she's humiliated. Enter high school heartthrob Matty Fumero, who just might be the smoking-hot cure to all her boy problems. If Parvin can get Matty to ask her to Homecoming, she's positive it will prove to herself and her ex that she's girlfriend material after all. There's just one problem: Matty is definitely too cool for bassoon-playing, frizzy-haired, Cheeto-eating Parvin. Since being herself hasn't worked for her in the past (see aforementioned dumping), she decides to start acting like the women in her favorite rom-coms. Those women aren't loud, they certainly don't cackle when they laugh, and they smile much more than they talk. But Parvin discovers that being a rom-com dream girl is much harder than it looks. Also hard? The parent-mandated Farsi lessons; a confusing friendship with a boy who's definitely not supposed to like her; and hardest of all, the ramifications of the Muslim ban on her family in Iran. Suddenly, being herself has never been more important.- Shop: buecher

F--ked: Being Sexually Explorative and Self-Confident in a World That's Screwed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min
An uncensored conversation about sex and self from the creators of the top-rated Guys We F--ked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast. Comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson started Guys We F--ked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast in 2013, intending to interview guys they'd slept with to learn more about themselves and squash the stigma so often associated with sexual women. As the podcast grew, and Corinne and Krystyna got to know their fans, stories of sexual assault, verbal and emotional abuse and crippling shame became common topics of discussion along with those humorous conversations highlighting overall sexual confusion among many adults. The podcast is now a community of over a million listeners worldwide and a place where any and all taboo sex topics are discussed freely, both with celebrity guests and the real people in their lives. F--cked follows that model, as Corinne and Krystyna present a mix of raw, ridiculous and serious sexual conversation, including topics like: Why shame is completely made up and how we can stop giving in to it Sexual exploration and how it sometimes ends in a trip to A&E Stuff we should stop doing: snooping, nitpicking our bodies and faking orgasms Asking your sexual partner uncomfortable questions How to get yourself out of an unsafe situation Masturbation, threesomes, porn, sex toys, butt stuff and much, much more This is a guide to love and sex for anyone who has ever felt afraid to be their authentic sexual self. It won't talk down to you or coddle you, because you're better than that. Despite what rom-coms and glossy magazines tell you, you can handle sexual exploration without the assistance of a man, a glass of rosé or a Xanax - and, more importantly, you're fine all by yourself. ungekürzt.

Something in the Middle: Color Edition: Small Stories from the Far Side of Consciousness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
A first-time author. A hotshot book editor. A whirlwind romance and a runaway bestseller nobody saw coming. The meteoric rise and sudden collapse of a cross-platform media empire. All of this - plus a basement full of undiscovered treasures left by former tenants - is thoughtfully unpacked and dusted off in this sideways collection of small, strange fictions. SITM is a light-hearted 44-story collection of mostly free-standing stories surrounding a framed narrative that explores how these tales were created.In SITM, A. I. Wand takes you on a journey with his unusual, sometimes poignant, often hilarious tales designed to surprise and delight. It pays gleeful tribute to legions of its science fiction, horror, satire, parody, and romantic forebears from the last century.The subtitle - Small Stories from the Far Side of Consciousness - alludes to the book's atypical architecture and often surreal tone. In the 1960s and 1970s, it may have been dubbed post-modern or even experimental, but today, SITM is happy just to think of itself as a grateful homage to its myriad inspirations, albeit one which falls two or three standard deviations from the mean.Many of these yarns could be confused with microfictions based upon their length, but they are part of a larger, cohesive arc that binds them all together. Many of the stories have Easter eggs or overt references to other stories. Drawing thematic elements from Aesop's Fables, The Twilight Zone, and classic Silver Screen horrors, these quirky, fast-paced fictions are also indebted to cartoons and comic strips, TV sit coms, and even to rock opera and pop music song suites.In SITM we encounter a diversity of characters - witches, a voodooist, a mad scientist, a demented surgeon, a sadistic psychiatrist, a crazy clown, and even pets. These fast, atmospheric stories are sometimes self-aware, sometimes break the fourth wall, and frequently deliver satisf ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madison Niederhauser.
