Categoria: Libri e riviste
'Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turning fun' Allison Brennan on A Bad Day for Sunshine\n\nRunning a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo.\n\nAll Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that's about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)\n\nBefore she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once. Accidentally.\n\nBetween policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.\n\nYep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.\n\n'A Bad Day For Sunshine is a great day for the rest of us' Lee Child

Brand: Ian Prior
EAN: 9781546004448
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Ian Prior is one of the most articulate and successful parent-activists in the United States. Armed with 12 inspiring battle-tested rules and revealing stories about sparring with self-righteous Woke neighbours (the \"Chardonnay Antifa\"), Ian shares secrets about what fellow parents can do in their own school districts to stop the Left's dark vision from taking root.\n\nGet ready to laugh. This is not a boring education book. With real world lessons and funny anecdotes readers can connect with, Ian explains how families can win the battle to stop divisive and dangerous concepts rooted in critical race theory and other dangerous left-wing ideologies from spreading to their schools. He convincingly makes the case that the Left envisions a public education system in America where children are no longer the responsibility of their parents but rather mere wards of the state.\n\nYou'll be shocked and amused by the outrageous stories in Ian's suburban county that unexpectedly became ground zero for the parents' rights movement. This sign-of-the times book helpfully explains the confusing and infuriating cultural moment we find ourselves in.\n\nParents of the World, Unite! is an indispensable book for American families who believe they should be able to raise their children without government interference in their moral, religious, and ethical choices -- and are ready to join a revolution of parents.

Le casalinghe americane si fanno gli smokey eyes e si tingono le labbra, ascoltano Beyoncé a tutto volume mentre preparano la cena, affogano i loro dispiaceri nello Chanel No. 5 e ospitano circoli di lettura in cui lo Chardonnay batte Charles Dickens. Riarredano le loro case con regolarità e condividono con le vicine un linguaggio di cortesia che assomiglia a un vero e proprio codice segreto. Conoscono le regole del gioco: cambiare i collant ogni inverno, ascoltare audiobook erotici mentre si lava il pavimento del bagno, servire ai propri ospiti solo il cibo che si vuole davvero mangiare, e accettare di essere troppo vecchie per bere più di un cocktail a sera. Ma attenzione, il loro aspetto raffinato e borghese inganna: queste donne sarebbero capaci di qualsiasi cosa pur di salvare le apparenze e ottenere ciò che desiderano... Una raccolta di racconti sagace, irresistibile e assurdamente divertente. Helen Ellis ci trascina in un mondo in cui è possibile, per una volta, spiare dietro le tende delle case apparentemente perfette dei quartieri residenziali, dentro le vite insospettabili delle loro protagoniste.

Stefanie Wilder-taylor Drunk-ish: A Memoir Of Loving And Leaving Alcohol
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Stefanie Wilder-taylor
EAN: 9781668019412
Categoria: Libri e riviste
From the author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay, a hilariously candid and refreshingly honest account of Stefanie Wilder-Taylor’s journey to breaking up with alcohol for good. \n\nWhen Stefanie Wilder-Taylor became a mother, being able to connect with other moms over drinks or enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a stressful day felt life-affirming. From liquor cabinet concoctions in high school to tequila shots in her early stand-up comedy days to grocery store wine in young motherhood, alcohol was the seasoning that could give almost any activity more flavor. A drink instantly took the edge off and made even the most difficult adversary (be it a tough crowd in a comedy club or a judgmental PTA mom) not just bearable but fun.\n \nAs the years go by, Stefanie wonders if her relationship with alcohol is different from other people’s. Is everyone else struggling this hard to moderate? Is it even legal to watch The Bachelor without a glass of white wine?\n \nHaving spent a lifetime grappling with the question of whether or not she is a “real” alcoholic, one evening brings Stefanie close to the edge of losing it all. Miraculously unscathed, she decides that she doesn’t need to dive all the way down to a stereotypical rock bottom before deciding to stop drinking; if sobriety will improve her life, that’s a good enough reason to quit. Stefanie’s memoir is a tender and funny farewell letter to a beloved but toxic friend.

Rosemary George The Wines Of Chablis And The Grand Auxerrois
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Rosemary George
EAN: 9781913141677
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Chablis has a distinct identity amongst the wines of Burgundy. The gently sloping vineyards of this small, scenic region produce a remarkably diverse range of wines, even though all are made from just one variety – Chardonnay.\n\n\nAs in other parts of France, it was the Romans who introduced vines and the medieval Church which expanded the vineyard. By the twelfth century the wines of Chablis, were already being celebrated in poetry. However, over the centuries a considerable amount of everyday wine also found its way via the river Yonne to the cafés of Paris. In its heyday of production towards the end of the nineteenth century the region encompassed 40,000 hectares of vines. But that was before phylloxera and oidium ravaged the vineyards and the railways brought competition from further south to the capital’s wine drinkers.\n\n\nFrom a low point of 500 hectares just after the Second World War, the vineyard has now expanded more than tenfold, and quality has increased too. Wines in the appellation’s four categories – grand cru, premier cru, Chablis and Petit Chablis – are created by vignerons keen to work with the terroir to produce the elegant, mineral, long-lived wines for which the region earned its reputation. To this end, ever greater care is being taken in the vineyards and the routine use of chemicals is becoming increasingly uncommon.\n\n\nThe region’s history, unique soil, geography and climate are all covered in detail, but it is Rosemary George’s lively and insightful profiles of those who make the region’s wines that form the body of The wines of Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois. Through the lives of these vignerons – from the lows of disastrous weather to their love of the land – she paints a unique picture of a much-admired region.
