INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An intimate, behind-the-scenes, richly illustrated celebration of beloved The Office co-stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey’s friendship, and an insiders' view of Pam Beesly, Angela Martin, and the iconic TV show. Featuring many of their never-before-seen photos. Receptionist Pam Beesly and accountant Angela Martin had very little in common when they toiled together at Scranton’s Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. But, in reality, the two bonded in their very first days on set and, over the nine seasons of the series’ run, built a friendship that transcended the show and continues to this day. Sharing everything from what it was like in the early days as the show struggled to gain traction, to walking their first red carpet—plus exclusive stories on the making of milestone episodes and how their lives changed when they became moms—The Office BFFs is full of the same warm and friendly tone Jenna and Angela have brought to their Office Ladies podcast.

Mystery lovers are in for a real treat as author J. Smith brings to life an exciting and fun new private investigator who threatens to upset every crime reader's favorite book applecart. Radell Hunter is funny, tough-as-nails, financially-challenged and creatively juggling a whole lot of balls in the air at once. A divorced single mother in her late 30s, she's a nontraditional crime sleuth in a world full of experienced biased men. In Material Motive, author J. Smith introduces readers to her main character's unusual weapons and techniques: an FBI Special Agent daughter named Dominique; Radell's closest gal pal Betty Jean (a local redneck's wife) and an on-again off-again friend Rosalie (a closet exerciser, who also happens to work at Hunter's favorite restaurant Mickey D's). And then there is Darrell, the male chauvinistic police chief friend that is constantly keeping the female crime-fighter out of jail (or helping her commit crimes that will put them both in it). And last, but certainly not least, is Radell Hunter's nemesis, Barb Butt -- who is appropriately named, but who can't decide if she wants to destroy the new P.I., or if she wants to become her. But all that aside, Hunter's latest client is a liar who has her chasing around after dead people, which turns out to be the least of her worries, as he is nothing compared to the 38-year-olds' own neighbors from Hell, who make it seem like battling killers is child's play compared to getting a great night's sleep in her own new house. Radell Hunter will make you laugh, relate and salivate all at the same time while she matches wits with the witless, nixes the nincompoops and pole-dances her stress away to Rod Stewart music in her P.I. office, where mayhem also reigns thanks to her cheapskate landlord and his motley crew of misfits that populate the building (legally and illegally). So, buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life in J. Smith's newest fictional series.

***With an exclusive behind-the-scenes conversation between Billy Jensen and retired detective Paul Holes on the Golden State Killer, their favorite cold cases, and more*** Have you ever wanted to solve a murder? Gather the clues the police overlooked? Put together the pieces? Identify the suspect? Journalist Billy Jensen spent fifteen years investigating unsolved murders, fighting for the families of victims. Every story he wrote had one thing in common—they didn't have an ending. The killer was still out there. But after the sudden death of a friend, crime writer and author of I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Michelle McNamara, Billy became fed up. Following a dark night, he came up with a plan. A plan to investigate past the point when the cops had given up. A plan to solve the murders himself. You'll ride shotgun as Billy identifies the Halloween Mask Murderer, finds a missing girl in the California Redwoods, and investigates the only other murder in New York City on 9/11. You'll hear intimate details of the hunts for two of the most terrifying serial killers in history: his friend Michelle McNamara's pursuit of the Golden State Killer and his own quest to find the murderer of the Allenstown Four. And Billy gives you the tools—and the rules—to help solve murders yourself. Gripping, complex, unforgettable, Chase Darkness with Me is an examination of the evil forces that walk among us, illustrating a novel way to catch those killers, and a true-crime narrative unlike any you've read before.

Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoys a better quality of life—–the chicken destined for your dinner plate or the rooster in a Saturday night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog?

Alternately poignant, challenging, and laugh-out-loud funny—blending anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy—this enlightening and provocative book will forever change the way we look at our relationships with other creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.
