Books
The Jackass Whisperer by Scott and Alison Stratten
Available Nov. 4
The Jackass Whisperer is a guide to dealing with the worst people on earth. These people are those who make our lives needlessly harder. They drive too slowly in the fast lane and too quickly in the slow lane, reply all, heat up fish in the microwave at work and share way too much information about their cleanse on Facebook. They live in our homes, work in our offices and shop at our stores. After a lifetime of research, Scott and Alison Stratten offer the definitive guide to surviving the jackassery in your life.
Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams
Available Nov. 5
Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers. After a messy breakup from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places … including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth.
