Publisher's Summary:

A Globe and Mail Notable Book of the Year

A Quill & Quire Top Five Canadian Fiction Book of the Year

A Maclean's Top Ten Book of the Year

Elizabeth Hay's runaway national best seller is a funny, sad-eyed, deliciously entertaining novel about a woman caught in a tug of war between real life and the films of the past. Inflamed by the movies she was deprived of as a child, Harriet Browning forms a Friday-night movie club with three companions-of-the-screen: a boy who loves Frank Sinatra, a girl with Bette Davis eyes, and an earthy sidekick named after Dinah Shore. Into this idiosyncratic world, in time with the devastating ice storm of 1998, come two refugees from Hollywood: Harriet's Aunt Leah, the jaded widow of a screenwriter blacklisted in the 1950s, and her sardonic, often overbearing stepson, Jack. They bring harsh reality and illuminate the pull of family and friendship, the sting of infidelity and revenge, the shock of illness and sudden loss. Poignant, brilliant, and delightfully droll, Garbo Laughs reveals how the dramas of everyday life are sometimes the most astonishing of all.

Critic Reviews:

"Thumbs up for Garbo Laughs! Four-star novel celebrates love, film, and love of film." (Ottawa Citizen)

"Thoughtful, smart, sardonically funny." (Toronto Star)

"You dont have to be a film buff to appreciate this finely crafted, poignant and emotionally resonant novel.Absolutely delightful." (Kitchener-Waterloo Record)

Hidden laughter

You will never quite feel the same watching the old classic movies after you read Garbo Laughs. The constant thread in this story of the daily life of a regular, sort of, family is the Friday night movie club - Harriet Browning, her two children, and neighbour and journalist friend Dinah Bloom. Discussions among the movie buffs focus on characters rather than plotlines: comparing the acting skills of Cary Grant or Marlon Brando or the good looks of Katherine Hepburn or Greta Garbo. The latter has a special place in the household of Harriet, author of some notoriety and the primary selector of films to watch - she looks a bit like the enigmatic actress, hidden laughs and all. The films appear to be more important than the daily realities. Only Harriet's husband Lew provides the link to the realisms of the outside world - he travels to distant places and brings back impressions and a special souvenir for Harriet.

We are invited to share the daily life of Harriet's family and neighbours - through the better part of a year that included the ice storm of 1998. The story takes place in a close-knit neighbourhood in Ottawa. Hay sets the scene of the cozy community in which every body knows everybody and they all interact frequently. Emotions, concealed or expressed, flow between the various characters. The arrival of aunt Leah, widow of a Hollywood screenwriter, and her stepson Jack bring upheaval to the daily routines. Some relate better to them than others and relationships become more complicated. Leah is an astute observer of people and knows how to rub salt into the proverbial emotional wounds.

Publisher's Summary:

Agent Fold Tanguy is a slick secret operative without a care in the world. His life couldn't possibly be any better. It also doesn't hurt that he's hung. We're talking really hung.

Agent Tanguy's fabled hard asset has always made him the go-to man for the nation's hardest jobs. Seduction, secrecy, and spying are Tanguy's game and nobody plays it better. At least, that's how it was before a secretive organization deep within the government got him by the balls. When Tanguy finds himself in a tryst as steamy as it is dangerous with the mysterious Aurora Diamondstreet, he wakes up one morning with something a whole lot more explosive than morning wood: actual explosives rigged to go off in his sack.

Now that this shadowy organization holds the balls in their court with treasonous plans on their mind, Fold must find a way to resist Diamondstreet and countless other ravishing detours, in order to save this country and his manhood from total disaster.

In Ready to Blow, the first installment in E.B. Bannister's Behind the Bookcase series, they're threatening to take away our nation's greatest asset and Agent Fold Tanguy's most prized possession... his bag of jewels.

Title: Cooper's Last Resort

Subtitle: The Last Stop Retirement Community Series, Book 3

Author: Kirt J Boyd

Narrator: Rozanne Devine

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-17

Publisher: Kirt J Boyd

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes inspiration is found in the most unlikely places....

To say that 15-year-old Cooper isn't thrilled about the idea of spending his entire summer with his grandfather at The Last Stop retirement home is the understatement of the century. The fact that he has to work there for the privilege of sleeping on his grandfather's couch only adds insult to injury.

The folks at the retirement home aren't too sure about him, either. His hair is forever hanging in his eyes, for one, and he seems determined to go the entire summer without uttering a single word. While they are trying to keep an open mind, Cooper is doing nothing to change their opinion that youth is just an unfortunate stage to becoming an old person.

But something surprising happens over the course of the summer, forcing everyone involved to reevaluate their opinion of the opposing generation.

In this, the third installment of The Last Stop series, the whole gang is here: Amato, the boisterous chef, who Cooper has the misfortune of working for; Byron, the hyper-competitive, former Olympian, who gives Cooper pointers on his less than impressive physique; Kelly, the much feared fitness instructor, who teaches him to take pride in even the most mundane tasks; Harry, the maintenance man, who teaches him the value of hard work; And, of course, Holy Moses, the facility's canine mascot, who's respect Cooper must earn.

There's a new resident, too, making his first appearance: Ain't He Something, a retired racehorse who provides his own very entertaining life lessons....

Denn auch jenseits der Dreißig gelingt es Bastian kaum, die Familienbande zu entwaffnen - vor allem, weil Vater Bielendorfer auch noch Schützenhilfe am Rotstift bekommen hat: Neffe Ludger ist zwar erst zwölf, er hält seinen Babysitter Basti aber so auf Trab, dass man am Ende nicht mehr weiß, wer hier eigentlich auf wen aufpasst...

Title: Dance Like You Mean It

Author: Jeanne Skartsiaris

Narrator: Shelly vandeGaag, Gemma Rose

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-18-17

Publisher: Jeanne Skartsiaris

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

What if you wrote a steamy, erotic novel that was so hot bookstores couldn't keep it on their shelves? What if you couldn't tell anyone you wrote it? At night, nurse Cassie Calabria pens a bodice-ripper novel, using an alias. She sends it to a few agents, then forgets about it. She's more than surprised when she gets an offer for a publisher to include her book, Wild Rose, in a "summer-of-love special". Wild Rose becomes a blazing best seller.

Suddenly she realizes she can't let anyone know that she wrote it. What would her children think? Or her own mother, who "taught her better", and, worse, her husband who would question her made-up fantasies of sex on the beach. How could she be thrown into the red-light district spotlight and still be a good mom? Unless she went incognito.

Members Reviews:

A funny, bittersweet read that will make you cheer for its characters!

A clever novel from a structural standpoint, as well as from a plot line milieu. Love the racy Rosemary, and the secret joy Cassie feels as she dares to pen a novel that would make her colleagues blush! The over-arching theme that you can do anything you put your mind to and you just have to start comes through very skillfully in this funny, bittersweet, absolutely lovable novel.

What a wonderful life lesson for us all: dance like you mean it!

Couldn't put it down!!

Absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down!! Read it in two nights. Jeanne did it again.

Book candy.

Book candy! A fun read.

So funny!

What a great read! It is such a funny book. It had me blushing in some spots, but I honestly couldn't put it down.

The best of both worlds!

Dance Like You Mean It by Jeanne Skartsiaris is a novel women will embrace, especially those who are closet writers, authors, journalists, wives, and mothers. It is a struggle between doing what you are passionate about and having success, and being able to take credit for it even though it compromises the morals and values you and your family hold dear. To be proud of a best-selling steamy novel or stay anonymous and not be able to stand in the spotlight? Can you have both and not feel ashamed or guilty? Just how different are Cassie, the author, and Rosemary, the protagonist? Read and relate. Most authors write either from experience, history, or fantasy, which has been hidden from all except God Himself. Cassie letâs her desires and imagination soar, and it surely doesâright to the top of the charts. But what now?

Publisher's Summary:

A cosy and heartwarming seasonal romance, perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley.

Beth is running away. With her young son, Leo, to protect, Willow Cottage is the lifeline she so desperately needs. Overlooking the village green in a beautiful Cotswolds idyll, Beth sees a warm, caring and safe place for little Leo.

When she finally uncovers the cottage from underneath the boughs of a weeping willow tree, Beth realises this is far more of a project than she bargained for, and the locals are more than a little eccentric! A chance encounter with gruff Jack, who appears to be the only male in the village under 30, leaves the two of them at odds, but it's not long before Beth realises that Jack has hidden talents that could help her repair more than just Willow Cottage.

Over the course of four seasons, Beth realises that broken hearts can be mended, and sometimes love can be right under your nose....

Title: Nesting with the Loons

Author: Jeff Davis

Narrator: David Bosco

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-26-17

Publisher: Jeffrey L Davis

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

With its acid edge and wicked humor, JL Davis (writing as Jeff Davis) delivers a rapid fire depiction of bureaucracy gone wild that digs underneath the fingernails of the typical blue collar worker, satirizing both modern day relationships and business life. Specifically, if we can't stand our jobs and families, live for the day to escape!

Unlucky in love and trapped in a dead-end job, Jack Snaggler thinks his fortune is about to change when he meets a drop-dead gorgeous brunette named Paradise. Think again. When a shady fast food chef goes missing and coworkers start mysteriously disappearing, Jack finds himself framed for murder. If he wants to stay alive long enough to ever see Paradise again, he'll first need to escape a conspiracy that at each turn, involves almost everyone he knows. Living under the umbrella of a politically incorrect and bureaucratic world are people like Ed Shoemaker, a disgruntled office worker who wants to off his wife and flee to Fiji; Eileen Klump, a secretary in the throes of menopause who suffers from periodic breakdowns and intermittent stays at the local mental facility; Lance Sheppard, who makes his living the good old-fashioned way: disability fraud. Regardless of the premise, the book punctures the fabric of what's simply funny with a pervasive shadow of underlying truth regarding Middle America and the world at large.

Part Big Brother, part corporate mindset, part 60s cool, and part dysfunctional love interest. The road to paradise has never been so tainted or hilarious.

Members Reviews:

The Office meets Clue...sort of

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I will start by saying that I really enjoyed David Bosco's narration. The sound effects were a nice touch too. Definitely gives it that retro radio show feel. The story line was an almost manic and, yes, chuckle-inducing romp. Definitely a satire of Middle America living. It reminded me of a mix of the Office and Clue.

Good story

BOOK REVIEW...

A fun and funny book. I enjoyed listening to it.

NARRATOR REVIEW.....

The narrator did a good job with the voices of the characters.

- - Gifted copy by Narrator through Audiobook Boom - -

Great story with versitile characters

Would you listen to Nesting with the Loons again? Why?

Yes. The characters were entertaining, the narrator did a fantastic job delivering the story and the audio itself had multiple thread plots.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Snaggler, the main character who was the catalyst for such personalities and who encompassed the American dream. He was closely followed by Bob Wetterman, a quirky sidekick and others such as Ed Shoemaker, a man determined to run away from the family he loved to a place they'd never find him.

Which character as performed by David Bosco was your favorite?

Bosco performed all characters well, but Jack and Wetterman were my favorites.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The only thing crazy is being sane !

Any additional comments?

I'll be looking for more audios from both Davis and Bosco in the future. An excellent entertaining listen.

Good story

Any additional comments?

This was a good story with great characters. Enjoyed it very much.
