  This novel, which Shakespeare adapted in his pastoral comedy As You Like It, is the archetypal pastoral adventure. Two young persons of high birth, who have recently lost their fathers (one to death, one to banishment), fall in love but are separated almost at once and forced to flee to the Forest of Arden. There they meet again, but as Rosalynde is disguised for safety as a boy, named Ganymede, her lover Rosader does not recognize her. Once Rosader has confided his love to Ganymede, they play a game in which the "boy" poses as Rosalynde to give Rosader practice in wooing. As the comic episodes, replete with dramatic irony, accumulate, minor characters with complementary romantic relationships fill in the spectrum of the sublime ludicrousness of sexual love until the shadow of death (which is not excluded from Arcadia!) brings matters to a happy conclusion. The various sets of lovers are appropriately joined, and once the corrupt seats of authority back home have been either purged or reformed, Rosalynde's banished father the Duke and the high-born lovers return to civilization, bringing with them a better understanding of what really matters in life.

  'Crump the Cat, ' combines three hilarious satirical tales in one audiobook that the whole family can enjoy. Told in rhyming verse, Crump is an orange tomcat with inherited wealth who is famous for his TV show, the ‘The Appurrentice.’ His fans love Crump’s affluent lifestyle and his bombastic, winner-take-all attitude. When Crump wins the presidency, he promptly turns the world inside out to fit his golden image and creates a dystopia where only orange cats are welcome. Of course, all his short-sighted policies allow for the perfect storm of repression and unintended effects. Crump the Cat is an entertaining allegorical tale in which all kinds of cats come together at the end to triumph over inequality and racial discrimination. 
  'Crump the Cat, ' is described by Midwest Book Review as, "Political satire at its wicked best." As part of the Audiobook there are also two bonus stories included, 'Bobo the Baboon' and 'A Titanic Cruise on the Straight of Hormuz.' Bobo the Baboon tells the story of a flamboyant baboon politician, who runs in to significant trouble in dealing with his pandemic response. 'A Titanic Cruise on the Straight of Hormuz,' features rats in a cautionary tale of the perils of military adventurism. 
  All three satirical stories will keep you laughing as you discover and enjoy all the inside jokes and parallels to today's politics and policies.

  GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER: BEST MEMOIR & AUTOBIOGRAPHY 
   
   
  A laugh-and-cry-out-loud memoir from the beloved star of Netflix’s Queer Eye, Jonathan Van Ness, sharing never before told, deeply personal stories of growing up gay, transforming pain into positivity, and embracing what makes you gorgeously different. 
  Who gave Jonathan Van Ness permission to be the radiant human he is today? No one, honey. 
  The truth is, it hasn’t always been gorgeous for this beacon of positivity and joy. 
  Before he stole our hearts as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflix’s hit show Queer Eye, Jonathan was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didn’t understand why he was so . . . over the top. From choreographed carpet figure skating routines to the unavoidable fact that he was Just. So. Gay., Jonathan was an easy target and endured years of judgement, ridicule and trauma—yet none of it crushed his uniquely effervescent spirit. 
  Over the Top uncovers the pain and passion it took to end up becoming the model of self-love and acceptance that Jonathan is today. In this revelatory, raw, and rambunctious memoir, Jonathan shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself that the public has never seen. JVN fans may think they know the man behind the stiletto heels, the crop tops, and the iconic sayings, but there’s much more to him than meets the Queer Eye. 
  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll come away knowing that no matter how broken or lost you may be, you’re a Kelly Clarkson song, you’re strong, and you’ve got this.
