Number one is walking [graphic novel] : my life in the movies and other diversions / by Martin, Steve,1945-author.; Bliss, Harry,1964-illustrator.;
"Number One Is Walking is Steve Martin's cinematic legacy-an illustrated memoir of his legendary acting career, with stories from his most popular films and artwork by New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve Martin has never written about his career in the movies before. In Number One Is Walking, he shares anecdotes from the sets of his beloved films-Father of the Bride, Roxanne, The Jerk, Three Amigos, and many more-bringing readers directly into his world. He shares charming tales of antics, moments of inspiration, and exploits with the likes of Paul McCartney, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Chevy Chase. Martin details his forty years in the movie biz, as well as his stand-up comedy, banjo playing, writing, and cartooning, all with his unparalleled wit. With gorgeously illustrated cartoons and single-panel "diversions" in Steve and Harry's signature style, Number One Is Walking is full of the everyday moments that make up a movie star's life, capturing Steve Martin's singular humor and acclaimed career in film. The perfect gift from the team who brought you the #1 New York Times bestseller A Wealth of Pigeons"--Publisher.

She's a lamb! A Novel [electronic resource] : by Hambrock, Meredith.aut; CloudLibrary;
A darkly comic suspense in the vein of All’s Well and Yellowface, She’s a Lamb! is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the dangers of magical thinking and the depths of delusion Jessamyn St. Germain is meant to be a star. Not an actor who occasionally books yogurt commercials and certainly not a lowly usher at one of Vancouver’s smallest regional theaters. No, she is bound for greatness, and that’s why the part of Maria in the theater’s upcoming production of The Sound of Music is hers. Or it’s going to be. Jessamyn may have been relegated to the position of childminder for the little brats playing the von Trapp children, but it’s so obvious she’s there for a different reason — the director wants her close to the role so when Samantha, the lead, inevitably fails, Jessamyn will be there to take her place in the spotlight. This must be it. Because if it isn’t, well, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing. Sharp, relentless, and darkly funny, She’s a Lamb! is a cutting satire about the grotesque pall patriarchy casts over one woman’s delusional quest to achieve her dreams and the depths she will sink to for a chance at the life she’s convinced she deserves.General adult.

Daughters A Novel [electronic resource] : by Capes, Kirsty.aut; CloudLibrary;
Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones and the Six, a funny, moving story of two sisters who embark on a road trip to protect the legacy of their artist mother, grappling with past secrets along the way “Richly rewarding, stand-out fiction.” ―Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other When Mattie and Nora’s mother, the brilliant, troubled, and world-renowned Norwegian painter Ingrid Olssen, was on her deathbed, there was one promise she asked her daughters to make: Burn it all. Throw it all away. Ingrid didn’t want any of her art sold, didn’t want it celebrated.   Two years later, Mattie hasn’t done anything except for lock the pieces in a storage unit. She’s barely seen Nora since Nora skipped their mother’s funeral. Besides, she has her hands full raising the bold, creative teenage daughter she had when she was only a teenager herself. It was giving birth to Beanie that let her escape her mother’s house—that and the support of Beanie’s father, Gus.   But when Nora, an artist herself, falls deep into a mental health crisis of her own, she comes to live with Mattie and Beanie. And when their aunt Karo sets up the very last thing their mother ever would have wanted—an enormous retrospective of her work—the two of them somehow find themselves on the road trip of their lives: up the West Coast of the United States, with Beanie and their mother’s ashes in tow.   Told partly in the form of the interviews that comprise Ingrid’s biography, Daughters is tender, comic story of unpicking the scars of the past, and a must-read. “Every word has the touch of a genius.” ―Benjamin Zephaniah, writer, dub poet, actor, musician, and professor of poetry and creative writing
