Well Bred and Dead
Newly widowed Pauline Cook was once the toast of the Windy City elite—but now she's practically broke. At least she's in better shape than her dear departed friend Ethan Campbell, whose corpse Pauline has had the misfortune to discover. A writer who chronicled the lives, loves, and ensembles of the Gold Coast's most elegant ladies, Ethan apparently took his own life—while inelegantly clad in old boxers, no less. And since no relatives are coming forward to claim Ethan's remains, it falls to Pauline to settle his final affairs . . . with her own dwindling funds. However, there are things about Ethan's suicide that don't seem to add up: the ratty undergarments he "chose" to die in, for example . . . and the multiple birth certificates the police turn up in his apartment. Before she can truly lay her friend to rest, plucky Pauline's determined to get to the bottom of his increasingly suspicious death.
Mrs Cowan's Boy
When Rory Cowan stepped down from his role in Mrs Brown's Boys after 15 years, it made national headlines. Here, in his own unique voice, he tells his story – with a star turn from his greatest cheerleader, his mum Esther – and how the confidence she gave him in his early years set him on the path from mischievous teenager to national treasure. Rory's tales of growing up in 1970s Dublin are laugh-out-loud funny, but there is also sadness, as he describes his mother's dementia and the particular pain of gradually losing a loved one to such a cruel disease. A magical and moving account of a mother-and-son bond, and the unexpected progression from record-shop manager to comedy icon, Mrs Cowan's Boy is told with all the humour and warmth you'd expect from one of Ireland's best-loved stars.
Other, Please Specify
This provocative collection showcases the work of emerging and established sociologists in the fields of sexuality and gender studies as they reflect on what it means to develop, practice, and teach queer methods. Located within the critical conversation about the possibilities and challenges of utilizing insights from humanistic queer epistemologies in social scientific research, Other, Please Specify presents to a new generation of researchers an array of experiences, insights, and approaches, revealing the power of investigations of the social world. With contributions from sociologists who have helped define queer studies and who use a range of interpretative and statistical methods, this volume offers methodological advice and practical strategies in research design and execution, all with the intent of getting queer research off the ground and building a collaborative community within this emerging subfield.

Her clairvoyant landlady Madame Christophe forces her to attend language lessons with a bunch of international students but soon Lise discovers she's more interested in studying boys than art or verbs ...

Can she take a chance and follow her own dreams? How far into the future can Madame Christophe see? And could Lise really be falling in love - in Paris?
