Cheer Up Jay Ritchie

Jay Ritchie

Ritchie discovers and obstructs truths, like the difficulty of being at the bar and being a lilac bush simultaneously.
  I bought tear-resistant pants
  
  just in case
  
  
  
  I'm not
  
  
  
  a good guy underneath it all,
  
  being honest in discreet doses
  
  to underpaid retail employees.
  
  
  
  With an alternating sense of wonder and detachment, Jay Ritchie's first full-length collection of poetry grapples with death, disappointment, love, emails - the large and small subjects of daily life. His unflagging sense of humour and aphoristic delivery create a work that is personable yet elevated, witty, and honest.

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

Mind of Fire

Sherif Khaled

In a world where a spark moves faster than calculation, and where flames outrun human understanding, one question rises to rewrite every rule of the battle: How does the mind think when it enters the fire?
Not an ordinary mind, but the mind of a leader—one who is expected to see the unseen, calculate the uncalculated, and make a decision in the very moment when everyone else freezes.
Fire is not a substance; it is a behavior, an awareness, a language deciphered only by those who have learned to read heat as they read words, and to understand the silence of smoke as they understand the silence of people.
What appears to others as chaos becomes, to the leader, a map.
What others perceive as danger, he sees as an equation of time, space, and movement.
This book is not about fire itself;
it is about the mind that confronts fire.
About the mindset forged under the pressure of seconds—where experience transforms into instinct, knowledge becomes decision, and fear turns into a compass that guides rather than paralyzes.
Within these pages, you will enter the depths of a rare world:
the world of the leadership mind at the edge of extreme heat.
How does it predict? How does it analyze? How does it dismantle collapse?
How does it create calm in the middle of chaos?
And how does it extract from fire the harshest and most human lessons of leadership?
The Fire Mind is not a book you read once.
It is a book you return to every time a new battle ignites—every time a leader stands before a decisive moment, seeking to understand:
How do I see farther?
How do I decide faster?
How do I save more?
