Synopsis Punderdome by : Fred Firestone

From the daughter-father duo that created Brooklyn's beloved live pun competition, the "Punderful card game that] will replace Cards Against Humanity at your next party." (Mashable) One part game, one part conversation starter, you don't need to be a pun master to master Punderdome: the goal is to make bad jokes and have fun along the way. A player (the prompter for that round) draws two prompt cards from the deck, and then reads the prompts to the rest of the group, who have 90 seconds to create a single, groan-worthy pun that combines the two prompts. When time is up, pun makers share their puns with the prompter, who awards the prompt cards to the player whose pun he or she likes best. The winner then draws the next pair of prompt cards and the process repeats. Players win by obtaining 10 pairs of cards. - 200 double-sided cards (100 White and 100 Green) - 2 Mystery Envelopes with fill-in prize slips - 2 80-page pads for drafting puns - 1 instruction card and 1 pun example card - A stu-PUN-dous time for 3 or more players

Synopsis Winter by : Ali Smith

From Man Booker Prize Finalist Ali Smith, Winter is the second novel in her Seasonal Quartet. This much-anticipated follow-up to Autumn is one of the Best Books of the Year from the New York Public Library. “A stunning meditation on a complex, emotional moment in history.” —Time Winter. Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. And now Art’s mother is seeing things. Come to think of it, Art’s seeing things himself. When four people, strangers and family, converge on a fifteen-bedroom house in Cornwall for Christmas, will there be enough room for everyone? Winter. It makes things visible. Ali Smith’s shapeshifting Winter casts a warm, wise, merry and uncompromising eye over a post-truth era in a story rooted in history and memory and with a taproot deep in the evergreens, art and love.

Synopsis Two Thirds of A Pun by : Tim Moser

The front cover says it all. Some puns make you smile. Some puns make you groan. And some puns make you hold your nose. It seemed only natural to me that the title of a book of puns should be a pun itself. For the uninitiated, the word "pun" has three letters. So each one is a third of the entire word, making two of the three - "P- U" - two thirds of the whole word. How punny is it that P-U is pronounced the same way as "Pee Yew," the expression used to indicate that something stinks? Which, of course, some puns do. That is why we love them. And how appropriate is it to have the stinker of stinkers saying that something stinks? All the puns in this book are original with me. Yes, I take the blame for them. Perhaps you have thought of some of them yourself. If so, you have my empathy. And also my congratulations because understanding a pun takes a certain degree of intelligence. I hope this book encourages you to keep on having PUN in your life. -Tim Moser
