#21 Bored With Bedtime Stories? "<span Style="Font: Inherit; Color: #d74b1f;"> The Book With No Pictures</Span>" Will Revolutionize Story Time With Its Hilarious Sounds And Nonsensical Words

Review: "My six year old is obsessed. He makes us read it every night without fail and laughs hysterically, and the falls asleep laughing to himself about “Boo Boo Butt”. And despite reading it nightly I also don’t mind it - it’s fun to read aloud and not a reasonable length. Would 100% recommend." - JSpike

Review: "Too many critics write Weird Al off, thinking he only appeals to kids. They are wrong! Al's music is clever and very smart. This book does a great job of celebrating the wonder and heart that is Al. Worth it for any Weird fan." - Margie Kersey

#23 Philosophers Will Ponder, Theologians Will Debate, And You'll Just Laugh (And Maybe Cry A Little) At The Profound Absurdity Of "<span Style="Font: Inherit; Color: #d74b1f;"> The Trouble With Being Born</Span>"

Review: "That's a compliment if you missed it. Both Pessoa and Cioran were quasars of originality working their way through earth in the late 1800's and 1900's. Earth is a rough assignment. They both took it on with an hilarious sly even side-eye golden humor. I thank both of them for passing though homo sapien incarnation." - J. Socrates

Review: "Absolutely loved this book. I had never heard about the radium girls until it came across my Amazon. I read it within a couple of days and it has left me with the urge to read more and learn more about them. I would love to visit the places it talks about in Ottawa. It has really gotten me in my feelings of how careless a company or any human being can be." - MAEGAN SHISLER
