Synopsis

Annie Tempest has been called a national treasure for her much-lauded and internationally loved cartoon strip about a fictitious English village with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall. During the thirty years that 'Tottering-by-Gently' has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine, the Tottering family – all three generations of them – have been seen enjoying diverse pastimes and sporting pursuits including tennis, riding, skiing, golf, sailing, fishing and cricket. This latest, keenly anticipated offering is illustrated with more than 100 of Annie's superb colour cartoons and is a winning celebration of the Totterings – and the British – at play.

My Cursed Vagina

Lally Katz

A heartfelt and incredibly funny memoir about love, life and fortune.

Thirteen years ago, a shopfront psychic told me my vagina was cursed. She was a scam artist, but she was also right. The stories in this book follow the different forms this curse has taken and how it foiled me as I travelled the world looking for love.?They?are personal and very specific stories about sex, dating, marriage and motherhood.??And about how sometimes the things that alter our paths lead us to the right place.?

What happens when a shopfront psychic tells Lally Katz her vagina is cursed? Is it a terrible scam or has a truth been spoken?

In My Cursed Vagina Lally shares the many forms this hex takes as she travels the world looking for love, compulsively writing down everything as she goes. These are hilarious and heartbreaking stories of disastrous dates, hopeful sex, straight-talking friendships, a surprise marriage, the adventure of motherhood and the strange gifts of illness, by a woman who embraces everything life has to offer. Importantly, this is a story about how sometimes the unexpected leads us to the place we should land.

'In this memoir, Lally takes the reader on a drunken, dare-devil ride into the depths of dramaturgy and disease. A poetic, no-nonsense reflection on a full creative life that may have only just begun, Lally's first book made me want to go back to whom I used to be. If you love TMI then this book is for you.' BRENDAN COWELL

'This is gold. There is only one Lally Katz.' CLAUDIA KARVAN

'Katz's book is completely addictive and mystical, just like her perspective on the world ... and her vagina.' YAEL STONE

'I only wish every book gave me as much pleasure as this one. Lally Katz is an original—the queen of TMI—and My Cursed Vagina is hilarious, fearless, and perfectly, absurdly candid. Is it wrong to hope for more drama in her life, just so she'll write a sequel?' STEVE TOLTZ

Diary of a Mad Boomer

Gary E Stern

"Boomers yelled at lawns. Gen X shrugged. Millennials therapized. Gen Z memes. Turns out-we're all just trying to laugh our way through the madness." 
Diary of a Mad Boomer isn't just a memoir-it's a cross-generational roast. Gary E. Stern takes you from Cold War paranoia and draft notices to oat milk boba and doomscrolling, proving that absurdity is timeless and laughter is the only thing that still works. 
Whether you're a Boomer made of asbestos and bourbon or a Gen Z'er rubbernecking the wreckage, this book is for anyone willing to admit the obvious: life is messy, stupid, and occasionally hilarious. 
This book is a cranky, unfiltered ride through the booze-soaked '60s and the absurdities of survival in the army, told by a man too old to care what you think.
