Syv venner samles i et sommerhus ved en skovsø og soler sig i hinandens selskab. Det er midsommertid, og det trækker op til et bryllup. To af vennerne skal giftes. Gruppen diskuterer, flirter, solbader, svømmer, spiller smarte, iscenesætter overdådige middage og kommer i tvivl om, hvor alvorligt man skal tage sine forbudte forelskelser. ”Kun til navlen” er en moderne skærsommernatsdrøm om venner, kærester, venners kærester; om sex, håb og kærlighed; og om længslen efter, at alt kunne være anderledes. Linea Maja Ernst (f. 1988) er journalist på Weekendavisen. ”Kun til navlen” er hendes debutroman.

New York Times Bestseller ""There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” —Lisa Taddeo, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Three Women “Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.

Da Athena dør i en barok ulykke, stjæler June hendes uudgivne manuskript og udgiver det selv under det forblommede pseudonym Juniper Song.

Og hvad der så sker, er helt og aldeles andres skyld. ”Yellowface” er en sorthumoristisk syngende lussing til forlagsbranchen og de sociale medier; en roman om racisme, kulturel appropriation og opportunisme og kunsten at omskrive historien – bogstaveligt talt.

Kunne vi have været noget andet, hvis vi havde truffet andre valg i livet? Hvis vi var drejet til højre i stedet for til venstre? Vi er i Danmark i 90’erne med klaphatte, prinsesse Diana i sladderbladene … und alles. Maja har via Arbejdsformidlingen fået job på den campingplads i Vestjylland, hun som ung i 70’erne boede på i sin sommerferie sammen med en veninde. Den sommer blev hun gravid med Mogens, men det har han aldrig fåetat vide. Resultatet blev Sille, men hun er nu flyttet hjemmefra, og Maja er tilbage, hvor det hele begyndte. I en telefonbog finder Maja ud af, at Mogens, nu gift med Gitte, stadig bor i byen.

‘Nell Zink is a writer of extraordinary talent and range. Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know.’ Jonathan Franzen Virginia, 1966. The motionless deeps of the lake outside Stillwater College are being ruffled. Lee, a blue-blooded poet and professor, is determinedly fondling Peggy, an ingénue freshman with literary pretensions, in his canoe. So begins a long affair but the two are mismatched from the start. The story that follows rocks the boat in every sense. Nell Zink’s hugely entertaining, totally unique Mislaid explodes the nuclear family and topples every foundation of identity – black and white, gay and straight, “normal” and very very strange…

Johanna Kjellander forlader prædikestolen for evigt, mens sogne­børnene kaster salmebøger efter hende. Nå, men hendes erhvervsvalg var alligevel aldrig noget valg. Hendes far, en inkarneret modstander af kvindelige præster, tvang hende ind i præsteriet.  Per Persson lever et tarveligt liv, efter at hans farfar formøblede den formue, som rettelig burde have været hans. Farfaren døde ludfattig, sparket ihjel af sin sidste hest, og Per er nu en usselt betalt receptionist på et af Sveriges allerbedrøveligste hoteller.  Præsten og receptionisten møder tilfældigt hinanden på en parkbænk, og snart krydser en lige så farlig som naiv mand deres vej. Han hedder Johan Andersson, men inden længe kender hele Sverige ham som Morder-Anders.  Trioen danner en uhellig alliance og kaster sig ud i erhvervsvirksomheder med meget mådelig moralsk beskaffenhed.

Anna har kæmpet med psykisk sygdom siden teenageårene, men nu har hun styr på livet: Hun har taget sine dæmoner på sig ved at se sig selv som superskurk, og snart skal hun fejre sin 30 års-fødselsdag med en overdådig fest. Der skal være kendisser på gæstelisten, det skal foregå på Refshaleøen, og der skal smadres! Men hvordan holder man en stor fejring af livet, når man alligevel ikke er så glad, som man troede man var? Og hvordan skriver man om hovedpersoner, der udvikler sig, når man selv sidder fast i de samme gamle traumer? For Annas liv er ikke en recovery story. Og måske er hun heller ikke en cool og destruktiv superskurk, når det kommer til stykket, men i virkeligheden en, der kæmper for noget. "Superskurk" er en rå, akut og kærlig bog skrevet inde fra en psykisk sygdom. Anna Juul (f. 1992) er uddannet manuskriptforfatter fra Den Danske Filmskole og har arbejdet med radio, tv og bøger. Hun har bl.a. været forfatter på programmet Den Korte Radioavis på Radio24syv. I 2019 debuterede hun med digtromanen "Jeg bruger min krop som et møbel", udgivet under aliasset Veronika Katinka. Anna Juul har skrevet og spillet hovedrollen i tv-serien "Min Kamp", der handler om samme karakter, og hun står bag tv-serien "Fantomforhold". I 2022 udgav hun romanen "Penge & Bacon".

How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK “Hard to put down, harder to forget.” — Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.

The Good, the Bad and the Smug

Imagine a world where New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actor, television, and podcast host Adam Carolla is the President of the United States. Can’t do it? You don’t have to! Adam has done it for you! Podcast king Adam Carolla first shared his unique, but always funny world view in his New York Times bestseller In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks—but he’s not done. In President Me, Carolla shares his vision for a different, better America free from big issues like big government down to small problems like hotel alarm clock placement. Running on an anti-narcissism platform, President Carolla calls for a return to the values of an earlier time when stew and casserole were on every dinner table and there were no “service dogs” on airplanes. President Me hits right at the heart of what makes our country really annoying, and offers a plan to make all of our lives, but mostly Adam’s, much better.

'This book had sex with my brain!' SARA PASCOE 'Hilarious. Intimate. Vital.' JAMEELA JAMIL 'I couldn't put the book down!' LAURA BATES Comedian Sofie Hagen has not had sex in 3,000 days (and counting). And it turns out, she's not the only one . . . In an attempt to find out why we're not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? Should she have slept with that guy in that bush that one time? How do you overcome being a 35-year-old virgin (when it comes to queer sex, that is)? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex? In Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, Sofie Hagen explores the quirks and difficulties of being an 'involuntary celibate' (but one of the feminist, progressive ones). With a blend of memoir and conversations with experts, therapists, sex workers, porn stars, comedians and public figures, this is a humorous and bold undertaking to gain a better understanding of how we can think, talk and feel about sex. The audiobook includes an exclusive bonus interview with fellow comedian, friend and author, Sara Pascoe.

Will I Ever Have Sex Again?

Now a major motion picture starring Hugh Jackman. When politics went tabloid… In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart seemed like a no-brainer for the Democratic party’s presidential nomination. He was articulate, dashing, refreshingly progressive and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. However, he was also a deeply private man, uneasy when attention moved away from his political views to his personal life. Then, in one tumultuous week, it all came crashing down. Rumours of marital infidelity, a photo of Hart and a model snapped near a fatefully-named yacht, and a newspaper’s stakeout of Hart’s home resulted in a media frenzy the likes of which had never been seen before. Through the spellbindingly reported story of the Senator’s fall from grace, Matt Bai, Yahoo News columnist and former chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, revisits the Gary Hart affair and unpicks how one man’s tragedy forever changed the nature of political media and, by extension, politics itself. This was the moment when the paradigm shifted – private lives became public; news became entertainment; and politics became tabloid.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER She's back! After more than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions, returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight Susan Isaacs's millions of readers Some twenty years after Compromising Positions, Judith Singer again gets involved in murder and mayhem. But her life has changed. She now has her doctorate in history. Her workaday hours are spent at St. Elizabeth’s College, mostly squandered in history department shriek-fests. She is also a widow. Her husband Bob died one half-day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still cannot get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system. With Courtney Logan’s dramatic disappearance, all eyes turn instantly toward her husband, Greg Logan, son of Long Island mobster Philip “Fancy Phil” Lowenstein. But since there is no body, there is no arrest. Then, in the less-than-merry month of May, Judith comes home from work, turns on the radio, and hears the Logans’ pool man telling a reporter that he opened the pool and found . . . a raccoon? Not quite. The woman in the pool turns out to be Courtney, and now it’s officially homicide. And Judith comes alive! She offers her services to the police’s chief suspect, Greg Logan, but he shows her the door, thinking her just another neighborhood nut. But his father isn’t so sure: Fancy Phil may have other plans for her. Long Time No See is Susan Isaacs at her wickedly observant best. With razor-sharp wit and an irresistible mystery, she brings us back in touch with an engaging, endearing and irreverent heroine we haven’t seen in far too long.

Hun har alt. Hun er ung, flot, slank, hun er nyuddannet fra Columbia, lever af en stor arv og har en lejlighed på Manhattan. I New York år 2000 er den moderne verden på sit absolut højeste, alt er tilgængeligt, og døgnets timer skal udnyttes maksimalt. At sove, i stedet for at arbejde eller nyde, betragtes som en svaghed. Men samtidig udskrives sovepiller, som var det slik. Hun beslutter – efter at være blevet fyret for sine time-lange lure på arbejdet – at sove i et år. Måske er en kemisk dvaletilstand den eneste vej ud af en speedet samtid? En ting er sikkert: Hendes psykiater hjælper gerne. Mit år med ro og hvile er en forvrænget sædeskildring, en undersøgelse af dyd og moral på et tidspunkt, hvor alt er tilladt, men der ingen frihed er.

Mit år med ro og hvile

Once, I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend…while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings. Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened…to ME, Melanie Taylor. That was five years ago, so I’m over it—over him. At least, I thought I was…until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother’s best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player? Of course, I set out to avoid him completely but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force. Except this time, the attraction doesn’t feel so one-sided. This is a closed-door, dual POV romcom with mild language and innuendo. Trigger warnings: childhood trauma/anxiety.

Passion or Penalty

Welcome to Chelsea Handler's world—a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense. When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power—vodka. Seems reasonable, when considering that she discovered her boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo and she had to pretend to be honeymooning with her father in order to upgrade to first class. In this highly entertaining, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she’s convincing her third-grade class that she has been chosen to play Goldie Hawn’s daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

Welcome to another typical summer in Florida, the season of the storms. Serge Storms. That loveable, under-under-medicated dispenser of truth, justice, and trivia is back with a vengeance. And not a weirdness-laced moment too soon. His cherished home state is about to take a beating, and from far more than the way-too-routine conga line of hurricanes bearing down on the peninsula. Corpses have begun turning up at a disturbing rate, even for Florida, and it looks like a brutal serial killer is on the loose. Serge vows to stop at nothing in his juggernaut to make All Things Right...except if he gets bored or distracted by a cool souvenir or...or a...whatever. But his path won't be obstacle free. Agent Mahoney has picked up the scent. The obsessive criminal profiler is convinced there is no second killer. Then there's Coleman, whose triathlete approach to the sport of polyabuse binging just might derail the mission more than the entire police community put together. The pace picks up. Winds howl, TV reporters fly around the beach, and questions mount: Who's stalking Tampa Bay's most sensitive journalist? Do multiple orgasms improve storm tracking? Why is the feeding-tube guy so quiet? All of which ultimately leads to the most pressing question on everyone's new-millennium lips: What would Serge do? Performed by Oliver Wyman

„Waldemar fortalte om sine sygdomme og syndromer. Han var en omvandrende lærebog i sjældne og uhyggelige lidelser, fejlede et utal af ting, som jeg hver især ville have slået ihjel for at undgå at blive ramt af. Jeg kom til at tænke på en dokumentarudsendelse, jeg havde set under en af mine natfjernsynsseancer. Den handlede om en kvinde, der var blevet ramt seks gange af lynet. Det var samme urimelighed, der gjorde sig gældende her.“ Asger dummer sig og mister alt og må tage et job som handicaphjælper for Waldemar, verdens sygeste menneske. Deres hverdag sammen i betonghettoen Stentofte på Vestegnen er et studie i håbløshed. Indtil de kører sydpå for at opsøge Torbi el Mekki, en healer i Marokko, Waldemars sidste håb. Lydbogen er indlæst af Stefan W. Mortensen

Offentlige personer er ikke lavet af teflon, og den følelsesmæssige påvirkning af en shitstorm kan være enorm. Men den kan også være karrierefremmende og noget, man bruger aktivt i sit virke. I denne samtalebog får du et unikt indblik i den offentlige debat fra en anden vinkel, end vi plejer, når Jim Lyngvild og Ghita Nørby sammen udlægger deres mest mindeværdige shitstorme.

Shitstorm

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

Cat's Cradle

Newly minted doctor Jane McGill is in hell. Not literally, of course. But between her drug addict patients, sleepless nights on call, and battling wits with the sadistic yet charming Sexy Surgeon, Jane can’t imagine an afterlife much worse than her first month of medical internship at County Hospital. And then there’s the devil herself: Jane’s senior resident Dr. Alyssa Morgan. When Alyssa becomes absolutely hell-bent on making her new interns pay tenfold for the deadly sin of incompetence, Jane starts to worry that she may not make it through the year with her soul or her sanity still intact.

The Devil Wears Scrubs

“Speedy, exhilarating, and smooth. Nobody does it better.” —Washington Post “The man knows how to grab you—and Pronto is one of the best grabbers in years.” —Entertainment Weekly Fans of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified are in for a major treat. The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in Pronto, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who’s hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the Seattle Times lauds as the “King Daddy of crime writers,” proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.

Pronto

Shortlisted for the Costa First Novel award 2013, this bitterly humorous debut is a novel of love, narcissism, and ailing cattle. Katherine has given up trying to be happy. Her cynical wit repels the people she wants to attract, and attracts the people she knows she should repel. Her ex Daniel, meanwhile, isn’t sure that he loves his new girlfriend. But somehow not telling her he loves her has become synonymous with telling her that he doesn’t love her, meaning that he has to tell her he loves her just to maintain the status quo. When their former friend Nathan returns from a stint in a psychiatric ward to find that his mother has transformed herself into bestselling author and Twitter sensation ‘Mother Courage’ – Katherine, Daniel and Nathan decide to meet to heal old wounds. But will a reunion end well? Almost certainly not. Both scathing invective on a self-obsessed generation and moving account of love and loneliness, ‘Idiopathy’ skewers everything from militant environmentalists to self-help quackery and announces the arrival of a savagely funny talent.

Puss in Boots

In postwar America, there was no newspaper comic strip more recognizable than Charles Schulz's Peanuts. It was everywhere, not just in thousands of daily newspapers. For nearly fifty years, Peanuts was a mainstay of American popular culture in television, movies, and merchandising, from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to the White House to the breakfast table. Most people have come to associate Peanuts with the innocence of childhood, not the social and political turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s. Some have even argued that Peanuts was so beloved because it was apolitical. The truth, as Blake Scott Ball shows, is that Peanuts was very political. Whether it was the battles over the Vietnam War, racial integration, feminism, or the future of a nuclear world, Peanuts was a daily conversation about very real hopes and fears and the political realities of the Cold War world. As thousands of fan letters, interviews, and behind-the-scenes documents reveal, Charles Schulz used his comic strip to project his ideas to a mass audience and comment on the rapidly changing politics of America. Charlie Brown's America covers all of these debates and much more in a historical journey through the tumultuous decades of the Cold War as seen through the eyes of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang.

Bagefter spurgte folk sig selv, hvordan kunne det gå så galt? Amager i undtagelsestilstand. Et kongehus på nippet til at bryde sammen. En gidseltagning i Bella Centret. Åbningen af den hemmelige tunnel under Nørrebro samt ikke at forglemme den store nordiske rockerkrig, som forvandlede landet til en krigszone. Følgerne var uoverskuelige og involverede Buckingham Palace, Danmarks forhold til Iran, Dalai Lama og Det Hvide Hus i Washington. Et drama som på få timer fik den globaliserede verden til at sitre. Skønt det hele startede en fortryllende sommernat i Rudersdal Kommune. Nemlig med en telefonopringning til kommisær Stelman, som modtog den kortfattede besked: - Arveprins Bernhard har slået sin iranske gartner ihjel. Indlæst af Ken Vedsegaard, der er uddannet fra Skuespillerskolen ved Århus i 2000. Han har siden haft flere roller på både tv, film og teater. Ken Vedsegaard blev et kendt ansigt i de danske stuer med hovedrollen som Erik i DRs serie Krøniken.

*Nominated for Best Book at the 2025 Chortle Awards* 'Outstanding, I want to press it into the hands of every newly diagnosed person' Fern Brady 'Like a Martian's guide to living on Earth. Funny, enlightening and gobsmacking' Frank Skinner 'A hilarious, crystal-clear guide to autism' Phil Wang 'An illuminating and joyously entertaining book' Daily Express Why were the other kids at school obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show?

This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life. At once a hilarious and insightful journey through autism and neurodivergence, an entertaining explainer for the uninitiated and observational comedy for the neurodiverse, this is the perfect read for anyone who has ever asked themselves: why can't I just enjoy things?
