Evil has a one track mind.... Annie Blunt has had an unimaginably terrible year. First, her husband was killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident, then one of the children’s books she’s built her writing and illustrating career on ignited a major scandal. Desperate for a fresh start, she moves with her son Charlie to a charming small town in upstate New York where they can begin to heal. But Annie’s year is about to get worse. Bored and lonely in their isolated new surroundings, Charlie is thrilled when he finds a forgotten train set in a locked shed on their property. Annie is glad to see Charlie happy, but there’s something unsettling about his new toy. Strange sounds wake Annie in the night—she could swear she hears a train, but there isn’t an active track for miles—and bizarre things begin happening in the neighborhood. Worse, Annie can’t seem to stop drawing a disturbing new character that has no place in a children’s book. Grief can do strange things to the mind, but Annie is beginning to think she’s walked out of one nightmare straight into another, only this one is far more terrifying… |

Now, learn surprising insights about the women behind these famous bearded men and what makes their family work. In the Duck Dynasty TV series, the women often come into their own when the whole family gathers around the table together to eat dinner, and fans of the show get a good glimpse into their lives, but that is hardly the whole story, which is why they decided to write this book...

family guy duck laugh: Laughing on the Way to Heaven Don Waddell, 2012-04 Don has lots of opinions: On being a buffoon: I hate being a buffoon, but it seems like I'm always messing up. Not long ago I got in the car with my wife to run some errands. I took the TV remote with me just in case I had to make a cell phone call. Nancy made fun of me, and I tried to use the mute button on her, but it didn't work. On his 37th Anniversary: We returned home and wandered off to bed at 10:00. Nancy donned her Born to Sleep PJs and I was asleep before my head hit the pillow. When we were newly married this is not the way we would have anticipated our 37th anniversary ending, but in 2004 it was just fine. So much for romance. It's still there; it's just different. On fasting: Fasting is a fundamental Christian practice, and it is mentioned 33 times in the Bible. Now, let me ask a question. When was the last time you heard a sermon on the subject of fasting? You'll hear a hundred sermons on eschatology, a thousand on tithing or how many angels you can stack on the head of a pin before a preacher will suggest a Christian forego his or her staple of donuts, fried chicken or baked beans. Actually, I don't mind fasting; it's just the hunger I object to. On remodeling the house: What on earth do we need a new toilet for? I protested. Nancy's response was: The old toilet was the wrong shade of white. The wrong shade of white?! You got to be kidding me! Our 401K is in the toilet due to the economy, and now I'm spending my kid's inheritance replacing a toilet that is the improper shade of white!! |
family guy duck laugh: The Disney Fetish Seán J. Harrington, 2015-02-09 Long considered a figurehead of family values and wholesome adolescence, the Disney franchise has faced increasing criticism over its gendered representations of children in film, its stereotypical representations of race and non-white cultures, and its emphasis on the heterosexual couple. Against a historical backdrop of studio history, audience reception, and the industrial-organizational apparatus of Disney media, Seán Harrington examines the Disney classics through a psychoanalytical framework to explore the spirit of devotion, fandom, and frenzy that is instilled in consumers of Disney products and that underlie the fantasy of the Magic Kingdom. This compelling study demystifies the unsettling cleanliness and pretensions to innocence that the Disney brand claims to hold. |

family guy duck laugh: May I Have Your Attention Please? James Corden, 2011-09-29 As far back as he can remember James Corden has only ever wanted to be in one place: in front of you, doing something to make you laugh, cry, shout, or giggle uncontrollably. At the age of 4, he grandstanded throughout his baby sister's christening, standing on a chair in front of the whole congregation, pulling faces and cracking everyone up. Despite himself, the vicar was impressed. And from then on he couldn't get enough of the spotlight, even when it always seemed to avoid him. Throughout his teens, he and his Dad trudged up and down towards London, getting closer and closer to landing a gig, only to be told 'No' at the last stage. But he never gave up and soon found his whole life turned upside down and inside out by his experience as one Alan Bennett's History Boys. From that moment forth, he's never looked back. May I Have Your Attention Please? is the warm, cheeky, surprisingly honest and hilarious story of one of our most popular comedy talents. From his antics as one of the founding players of his high-school's first ever rugby team to gaining recognition in the West End, to nationwide fame as the loveably loud Smithy in the award-winning Gavin and Stacey, this is a tenderly told story of what it's like to try, try and try again and - happily - get there in the end. |

family guy duck laugh: Life, Love and Cooking Chef Nate Gross, 2022-07-06 Life, Love, and Cooking is about a boy's journey into manhood and the things he experiences through his private and culinary life. Michael Grant became a chef because he found that he was good at it, not because he couldn't do anything else. What was the secret in Michael's life that he kept to himself for more than forty years? Michael overcame the bullying, embarrassment, and humiliation by finding out there was life after childhood. He also found out what it meant to be a professional and to work with professionals. Were their lives much different from Michael's? Can you put a price on friendship, dignity, and credibility? Or is friendship just a stepping-stone to get you from one stage in your life to another? This book talks about Michael's experiences on the road of life. What were the decisions he made that helped him to become a better person? Who influenced his life the most? What changes did he make along the way? Michael found that success can be achieved even though the odds are against you. Problems never went away; Michael just came up with a plan on how to deal with them differently. Mostly set in a large country club kitchen, Michael created bonds in order to survive with the staff as they put out some of the most lavish buffets in the northeast. You may see yourself in this book. Then again, you may not want to. If you are happy with the way you are, then more power to you. If you notice that you have no friends, you have to do things by yourself, and you're not included with the group, then it's time for a change. Read this book with the understanding that we all have been there at one time or another. It's what we do with our learning experiences that define who we really are, what we want to become, and ultimately, how we want to be remembered. Life, Love and Cooking is so much more than a book about a young boy dreaming of becoming a chef. It is a story of the redemption of a boy with a hardscrabble upbringing who prevailed and went on to become a successful chef and creative entrepreneur. But the extraordinary aspect of the story is Nathan Gross himself, looking for healing and growth and taking complete responsibility for making that happen, working for years at learning how to become the man he dreamed of being. This book is a serious, raw, and sometimes comical look at refusing to let the past determine the future. It is a must read. - Carol Berger |

family guy duck laugh: Good Game, No Rematch Mike Drucker, 2025-04-01 *An Inside Hook Book You Should Be Reading This April* Funny, genuine and knowledgeable about something that meant so much to all of us. —Ben Schwartz A hilarious and nostalgic memoir about the video games that entertain and inspire us, and even hold the power to transform our lives, from an Emmy®-nominated television writer, stand-up comedian and former writer for Nintendo. At the ripe age of three, Mike Drucker got his very first Nintendo console—the Nintendo Entertainment System—and he was hooked. Every video game felt like a new chapter was opening in his life, expanding his world for the better and—sometimes—for worse. Final Fantasy VII, for example, helped him navigate the pitfalls of an early crush. And Dance Dance Revolution taught him how to almost, kinda move his body appropriately to music. Mike split his career between gaming and comedy, landing an internship with Saturday Night Live, playing Wii Sports with the cast and crew, and then a job at Nintendo, where he named an iconic character in the Legend of Zelda series. Then he returned to comedy with a job writing for The Tonight Show, never forgetting the video games that brought him there. In this fond and joyful memoir, Drucker combines ridiculous personal stories and fascinating gaming history to explore the poignant ways that electronic entertainment can save us from ourselves. Good Game, No Rematch is a love letter to video games and the people who play them, from a very nerdy voice in the world of comedy. |

family guy duck laugh: Maker Literacy Lynn Pawloski, Cindy Wall, 2016-11-07 This book takes the creativity and inventiveness of the maker movement and applies that energy in a new way to help children learn across all subject areas as well as broaden their world view.

Books 4-6 Faith Jones is an Earth girl...and she's not. Thordis Jax always gets what he wants. He's rich. He's gorgeous. He's the heir to one of the most powerful families on the planet. But when his body comes alive at the sight of Faith Jones, it will take every ounce of seduction and skill he possesses to get into her bed—and to earn her trust. Faith thinks she's got it all under control, until she meets Lord Jax's oldest son, Thordis. He's sexy. He's hot as hell. And the first time he sees her, he tells her the one thing she absolutely does not want to hear...Mine! A real Romeo and Juliet scenario. Which just stinks. Because as Faith discovers, it’s tough to hunt down a traitor when the only thing her heart wants is to give everything to an enemy. Books 7-9 Destiny Jones is a princess with a bad attitude. She doesn’t play nice with others, she doesn’t dress up in pretty clothes, and she has absolutely zero interest in behaving like a lady. Especially when she’s so close to catching the people who tried to have her killed. Oh, and kidnapped her mother, queen of the planet Alera. Vennix was trained to hunt and to kill from the shadows. After years of serving in the Hive wars as an elite member of the Coalition’s Shadow Unit, he returned home to fight for the one thing he believes in, honor. Dedicating his life to the queen’s guard was an easy decision—but watching the most beautiful woman he’s ever met repeatedly risk her life is about to drive him mad. Because Destiny is his. His body awakened for her. And if his new mate thinks he will stand idly by as she suffers without his skillful lover’s touch, she is very, very mistaken… |

family guy duck laugh: The Meaning of Mariah Carey Mariah Carey, 2020-09-29 The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller, and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah |
