Jumping the Snark: More Tales from the Snark Side

Life’s a snark—and then you laugh. In Jumping the Snark, Ann P. Topmiller serves up a hilarious, heartfelt anthology of everyday chaos—where cats plot mutiny, spiders trigger full-blown horror films in the mind, and grocery runs turn into existential stand-up routines. With her trademark wit, self-deprecating charm, and razor-sharp observations, Ann transforms laundry disasters, rogue raccoons, and accidentally feeding dog biscuits to her partner into laugh-out-loud masterpieces. From metal-detecting misadventures and camping catastrophes to navigating love, aging, and LGBTQ+ life with grace (and a healthy dose of sarcasm), these true stories celebrate the messy, absurd, and deeply human moments that bind us all. Fans of David Sedaris, Erma Bombeck, or Jenny Lawson will feel right at home in Ann’s world—where nothing goes as planned, but everything is funny in hindsight. Perfect for readers who’ve ever: Told their cats to “stop judging me” Mistaken a fly for a Volkswagen Considered burning a laundry basket to avoid doing chores Laughed until they cried… then kept laughing If your life feels chaotic, you’re not broken—you’re snarking. And you’re not alone. Grab your favorite snack, settle in, and prepare to snort-laugh your way through the beautiful disaster that is real life. P.S.
