Have a laugh with #BookFaceFriday!
So many #BookFace‘s, so little time! If you’re feeling like you didn’t get a chance to read all the amazing books that came out last year, or you just like to wait until the hold lines are shorter, you’ll love this week’s highlighted Overdrive collection. One of those amazing books published in 2025 was “Big Dumb Eyes” by Nate Bargatze (Grand Central Publishing, 2025), the comedian’s first book, full of heart and his classic funny stories. This title is available as an eBook and Audiobook in Nebraska OverDrive Libraries and is a part of the curated collection, “Best Books of 2025.” Find out what you missed last year in this great collection of over 300 titles.
“I Went To Career Day For My Daughter’s School… They Put Me At A Table With A Surgeon… They Asked Him, ‘How Long Do You Have To Go Have To Go To School To Be A Surgeon?’ He’s Like, ’54 Years,’ Or Whatever. They Asked Me, ‘How Long To Be A Comedian?’ I Was Like, ‘You’re Good Now'” —Nate Bargatze
“The Southern comic delivers a good-natured memoir of his years in the trenches… Bargatze never takes himself too seriously, but there’s plenty of grown-up self-awareness here along with the yucks.”
—Kirkus Reviews
