Shawn Two books from Weetacon’s own Jeff Alexander:
A TV Guide to Life: How I Learned Everything I Needed to Know From Watching Television
Some say that entire generations of Americans are being raised by the television like that’s a bad thing. Not so, says author Jeff Alexander, long-time television writer, advocate of education by television, and recapper for the popular website Television Without Pity. Here, he offers the ultimate in life lessons as seen on TV. Topics include:
• Saved by the Bell: School on TV
• Somebody Save Me: Super Powers and Magic Spells
• Tell Me Why I Love You Like I Do: Relationships on TV
• Making A Living: The Workplace
• And more
With a smart, snarky style, Alexander guides readers through important lessons gleaned from years of TV reviewing (now in convenient book form!), freeing up a whole new generation to learn other things, like how to cure cancer or solve world hunger…or anything more useful than watching TV (Author’s note: Just joking… there is no such thing).

Ten years have passed since Antonio, the great General Siena, fell in honorable battle. At the funeral of his beloved wife, Antonio’s four daughters are told that he fell not with honor but beneath the blade of betrayal ad court politics. The youngest and most genteel, dear Bianca, tries dissuade them, but Isabelle, Alonza and Eugenia relent little. They will travel to the capital, in disguise infiltrate the court and discover the truth. Should betrayal be the word, they will enact bloody revenge. But the court is full of plots that not even the sisters have fully imagined and blood will spill no matter what the truth.
