Congratulations On Everything
Congratulations On Everything | Nathan Whitlock
19 posts | 1 read
A dark and comic novel, Congratulations On Everything tracks the struggles, frailties and cruelly pyrrhic victories of the middle-aged owner of a bar-restaurant and a 30ish lunch shift waitress. Jeremy has bought into the teachings of an empowerment and success guru, hook, line and sinker. A Toronto service industry lifer, he's risen through the ranks until he finally takes the keys to his destiny and opens his own place, The Ice Shack. Everyone assumes Ice Shack daytime waitress Charlene is innocent and empathetic, but in reality she's desperately unhappy and looking for a way out of her marriage to her high-school sweetheart. A drunken encounter between Charlene and her boss Jeremy sends them both careening. The Ice Shack stops being an oasis of sanity and, as Jeremy struggles to keep his business afloat, he'll stop at nothing to maintain his successful, good guy self-image. In an era when foodies rule and chefs become superstars, Congratulations On Everything is a hilarious and occasionally uncomfortable dose of anti-foodie reality that reveals what goes on when the customers and Instagrammers aren't around and even sometimes when they are.

Congratulations to @DebinHawaii on her momentous achievement!! She was one of the first people I followed when I joined Litsy, and she provided a warm welcome and encouragement.

Things that bring me joy:
1. Singing
2. Photographing plants
3. A quiet walk in nature
4. My grandchildren
5. Trying new recipes

Congratulations @Librarybelle on #50k1k - you did it!! The book I‘m interested in is SAGA Volume 2. Everyone on Litsy seems to love this series and I‘m ready to love it too. I have volume one already but would love to expand my library.

Librarybelle Thank you! I have yet to read any of the Sagas. Maybe I‘ll have to sometime soon! 7y
JillPill I just read the first four volumes of Saga and it was so good! 7y

A huge thank you to everyone who entered my #GG10k giveaway. I loved reading all your favorite opening lines. ❤

To pick the winners I wrote everyone's name on a slip of paper, sprinkled it with catnip, and let Tommy choose.

Congratulations to my two runners up- @WarpedSweetness and @Jaberwocky who will be receiving some cute bookmarks. Ladies- please email me your addresses at ms.n.stevens at gmail.

GondorGirl @KVanRead You're right! Except that Zeus doesn't have scarred eyeballs. But I see they both like to share our drinks! 😂 7y
KVanRead Aww, do you know what happened to his eyes? He is so adorable. And yes he and Zeus do both seem to like to help themselves 😂 7y
GondorGirl @KVanRead He was really sick with an MRI when he was rescued and it messed up his eyes and addled his brain a bit. He's partly blind and a little stupid, but he's the sweetest monster ever. 7y
AlaMich He seems like a sweetie! 😻 7y
GondorGirl @AlaMich He is... except when I was trying to get the papers away from him so I could see who won... I think he needs his claws clipped.😂 7y
WarpedSweetness Awww!! Thank you!! Even better that cute Tommy picked me!! :-) 7y
Jabberwocky So cute!! Thank you friend! I will send that off tonight ❤️❤️ 7y
