    In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn't trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She's also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken is divided into "moments" of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time—such as: 
     
     
     
    ● When you're not sure if you want to heal 
     
     
     
    ● When you're facing anniversaries and other meaningful dates 
     
     
     
    ● When you're ready to be okay 
     
     
     
    Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.

    The concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small predatory class, repeated crises, the inability of politicians to influence the course of events, worsening inequalities and the end of growth are the hallmarks of today's capitalism.  Since the fall of communism, capitalism has had no competitors. Will it die one day? Not in the short term: the system is stronger than governments, its worst scoundrels enjoy widespread impunity, and while economists have little or no understanding of how it works, no clear alternative is emerging. Above all, no one seems to be seriously considering a fundamental reform of modern financial capitalism. Curiously, a century earlier, this same situation had been analyzed by Nikolai Dimitrievich Kondratieff, a famous economist and committed player in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Kondratieff was executed by Stalin in 1938 for having scientifically demonstrated the eternity of capitalism. Would he have the same opinion about capitalism today?

    Malört may be the worst thing you'll ever taste. 
     
     
     
    Known primarily for its intense bitterness, the infamous Chicago liqueur has been compared to "a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax." Yet lurking in the horror and the mockery lies the truth of Malört: we keep going back for more. For nearly a hundred years, we've gone back. 
     
     
     
    Jeppson's Malört could have died a hundred deaths in that time. Its survival wasn't always a given. There were cultural shifts and fortunate timing that helped transform a drink rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition into the American sensation it is today. 
     
     
     
    Malört is a story of love, relationships, and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. 
     
     
     
    Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships—involving secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and the 2018 sale of Jeppson's Malört, which made Pat Gabelick, a seventy-five-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary, into an unlikely millionaire. 
     
     
     
    Malört isn't just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.

    An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy. 
    Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who? 
    Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?). 
    Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check. 
    A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it. 
    Pre-order your copy of the latest non-fiction biography from Sunday Times bestselling author, Charlie Higson. His exploration of mediaeval and renaissance Europe is a top-performing deep dive into Britain's royalty.

    He’s a college rugby jock, but he says he’s also a “puppet master”. 
    How did it go this far? How did I sink so deep? Cameras have been installed in every room in my office. I now wear a hidden earpiece. 
    Now the master can see what I see. He speaks directly into my ear. He speaks directly into my brain. 
    Only weeks ago, he was my summer intern. Things are different now though. I need to do a good job for him. If I’m obedient, he’ll spread his cheeks. If I work hard, he’ll let me sniff the musk. 
    I spent my life building this company, but it’s all slipping away…
