cocktail time – p.g. wodehouse

Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, is still a boy at heart. He is loud, some would say obnoxious, optimistic and sociable very present. But when he hangs out of a window in his favorite pub and catapults the hat off of his brother in law, a grumpy barrister, he couldn’t have imagined what kind of actions he sets in motion. Actions he will be in over his head, but also enjoys tremendously. Who could have thought that a catapult could result in a scandalous bestseller, a film script, strange romantic entanglements and the awakening of a dodgy couple.

But never give up hope people!
It seems Fred doesn’t, so why would you?
A very comforting thought that when even such a character as Fred can bounce back,
so could everybody else.
Isn’t that the ultimate happiness?

death by chocolate – toby moore

In a not too distant future, being f*t (read fat) is illegal. Laws to imprison people who have a too high percentage of body f*t have been made and a Health Enforcement team is working the streets of New York to spot anyone who is overweight (‘humonsters’). Matt Devlin is one of the agents working for this team, and he’s content writing out tickets for f*t people. But his routine is shattered when a dead body is found near an illegal ‘eateasy’; the body only wearing a bikini of the best, rarest and purest chocolate (‘brown’). And of course chocolate is an illegal substance to posses and eat. So, the question that arises is this: Who’s crime is this…is it a case for homicide or the mellow Health Enforcement? Or can both apartments work this case together?…f*t chance!

this pen for hire – laura levine

Jaine Austen (yes, her “mother is an Anglophile, and a bad speller”) has her own writing service and one day she has to write a letter for geeky Howard, who wants to ask a blonde female fitness instructor named Stacy for a date. Jaine is a bit reluctant to write it, but in the end, does what is asked by her client – money had a big influence in that decision. She had better gone with her instinct to refuse him, because next thing she knows, Howard is in prison, arrested for the murder of Stacy.
Jaine is 100% sure, Howard isn’t the culprit. The only thing she has to do now is prove her female intuition is right. Something that easier said than done.
