F My Life by Maxime Valette,Guillaume Passaglia,Didier Guedj Pdf

Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don’t have a text messaging plan. I paid 25 cents to get fired. Your girlfriend dumped you, your car broke down, your boss passed you up for the big promotion. Life’s not fair, but there is one sure-fire way to ease your pain–laughing at someone else who had an even worse day than you did. Enter the devastatingly funny world of F My Life, where calamity is comedy. Covering every disastrous pratfall in love, work, family-life, and more, F My Life proffers other people’s ruinous, real-life happenings to brighten your gloomiest day: someone getting dumped through a greeting card, ignored at their birthday party, or insulted by their own grandmother. Spanning everything from ironic twists of fate to down-right shameful moments, F My Life’s squirm-inducing stories are schadenfreude at its finest. So today, take solace in knowing that at least you’re not that guy. There now, don’t you feel better? Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25 cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain. Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 Playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold. Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said “That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream.”

The Geek's Guide to Wizarding Mastery in One Epic Tome by Megan O'Russell Pdf

Not all wizards were born to be heroes. Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard: #1 Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back. #2 Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly. #3 Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably. #4 Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things. This Epic Tome contains all four books in The Tale of Bryant Adams: How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days Seven Things Not to Do When Everyone's Trying to Kill You Three Simple Steps to Wizarding Domination Five Spellbinding Laws of International Larceny Praise for How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin’ Days “This is a magical, fast-paced, fantasy packed—with a lovely dose of modern day teen—ride.” – Tonja “How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days by Megan O'Russell is the funniest book for teens/middle grade I have read in so long!” – M.W. “Megan O'Russell's heart-stopping magical adventures get better and better and I can't wait for her next one!” – Sherry Author Interview Why did you choose to write a fantasy book that heavily involves a cell phone? Phones are a huge part of everyday life. Smart phone are these tiny pieces of massive technology we use everyday without really thinking about how astounding they are. But what if phones could be used for more than just scrolling through social media? What if an entire magical library could be hidden in your pocket?

He is not the chosen one, and the world may be doomed if he’s in charge of saving us all. Bryant is a geek—the nerdy sidekick of the coolest kid in high school—who’s trying really hard to survive being a wizard but is too terrified to talk to the girl of his dreams. He’s just a boy trying to get through his teen years without too much emotional damage…and then magic happens. Who would enjoy this book?
