Sophistication by W.M. Bernstein

This unique book brings together serious neuroscience and seriously deadpan humor, resulting in an opus that can best be described as Sigmund Freud meets Dave Barry meets Malcom Gladwell amateur science—minus the amateur part.

Sophistication suggests how readers can become more competent thinkers, able to interpret complex issues and make better decisions in all aspects of life.

Four states of mind, which if chronic become your personality are described: shmo, schmuck, schadenfreudist, and sophisticate. The goal, for anyone hoping to get ahead in life, is to become a sophisticate—and learning how is a real trip!

The book lampoons the self-help genre itself (Dale Carnegie’s famous advice boils down to influencing people by using their name a lot and wearing a hat); Major League Baseball (it’s an orthodox religion); and Vladimir Putin (Stalin Lite).

Sophistication offers keen insights into the biological, psychological, and sociological causes of behavior that could help you achieve success—or not. Either way, this book takes you on a fascinating foray into the inner workings of the human mind.

Rum 101 for Dummies Like Me by Jeff Peddle

Rum 101 for Dummies Like Me invites you on a spirited and humorous voyage into the world of rum—from the frosty streets of Newfoundland to the tropical shores of the Caribbean. Author Jeff Peddle, a former George Street bouncer turned rum collector and self-described part-time philosopher, delves into the rich, often tumultuous history of rum. Exploring its bitter origins linked to the slave trade, and its colorful chapters—pirates, Prohibition, naval lore, tattoos, and iconic characters like the “real McCoy”—this book blends wit with whiskey-soaked history. You’ll learn about Newfoundland’s passionate affinity for Lamb’s, Screech, and Jamaican rums and uncover tales of Captain Morgan’s tsunami-ravaged grave. Designed for bartenders, history buffs, and curious sippers alike, it’s a rollicking blend of laughter, learning, and plenty of “Newfie” rum stories that makes each bottle—and every story—come alive.

Laughter and insistent hope may not solve all of our problems, but they certainly help us navigate the potholes in our personal and shared roads to wherever we are going.

Pope! by Louis Zambrana

The crass and sometimes volatile Pope Zamorano I is dead, and now the conclave to select a new pope begins in Vatican City, Rome. The righteous Cardinal Lawrence Byrd is selected to oversee the conclave of mostly unholy Cardinals with high school-aged maturity levels who are constantly stabbing each other in the backs or playing childish pranks on one another. Cardinal Abebe of Africa, who is in the minority of good Cardinals like Cardinal Byrd, has hopes of becoming the first black pope, while Cardinal Tortellini of Italy wants the church to maintain the tradition of Italian popes. Join the wild cast of wacky Cardinals like Cardinal Stubblefield, the first Cardinal from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and Sister Roberta, the nun who speaks loudly and carries weapons in her nun’s habit. Pope! is full of irreverence and supernatural surprises that will keep you laughing until the final vote!

Horrible Women, Wonderful Girls: A Jaycee Grayson Novel by Julie Ann Sipos

Sipos’s sharp, irreverent narrative explores addiction, reinvention, and the chaos of toxic workplaces—all wrapped in biting wit and unpredictable turns…Readers will be eager for the sequel to this striking debut.—Booklife at Publisher’s Weekly

Freshly fired and on the run from rehab, Jaycee Grayson is a kids’ entertainment exec with no filter and nothing to lose who’s about to turn Littleburgh, Wisconsin inside out on a no-holds-barred search for the truth behind the pastel perfection of “Wonderful Girls,” the world-famous doll company.

Confronted with a tangled web of secrets, power plays, and Prairie Karens, Jaycee isn’t here to play nice. She’s here to uncover the myth of the “Wonderful Girl”—who made it and who profits from it?

From Hollywood to the heartland, this audacious literary thrill ride offers up stiletto-sharp wit, misfit mayhem, and scathing commentary on what it really means to be “empowered” as Jaycee shines a harsh light on performative feminism and corporate fairy tales. Don’t miss an all-new literary adventure that’s as fearless as its heroine.
