  In 'My Name is Philippa,' prepare to be moved by a powerful story of love, transformation, and resilience. Katherine E. Zappone explains, This is primarily a love story. Philippa Ryder's journey to embracing her true self as a transgender woman has left an indelible mark on Irish culture. Growing up as a boy in the 1960s, she felt out of place, drawn to dressing in her sister's and later her wife's clothes. It wasn't until the 1990s that she discovered she wasn't alone in these feelings. Navigating the challenging path of transitioning from male to female, 'My Name is Philippa' tells an extraordinary tale of love, understanding, and the unwavering support of a family who stayed united as Philippa transformed from husband and father to wife and mother. In this heartfelt account, Philippa addresses many questions about what it means to be transgender, detailing the physical and emotional aspects of transition. Her story contributes to the global pursuit of freedom and empowerment for all individuals, regardless of gender identity. Through her honesty, courage, and perseverance, Philippa breaks the silence and encourages others to find their joy by embracing their authentic selves. This audiobook is a valuable resource for the transgender community, their allies, and anyone questioning their gender identity, as well as parents of transgender children and those seeking to learn more about transgender issues. Additionally, it offers insights for professionals in the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion sectors, Employee Resource Groups across corporate and public sectors, and health and social service personnel.

  Nolan Bell has a very Merry problem this holiday season… 
  As a native New Yorker, I’ve always dreamed of my name in lights on Broadway. But when my Army officer brother calls in a favor, I wind up in Hawaii to help his family while he’s deployed. 
  A winter in paradise doesn’t sound too bad until I become the substitute choir teacher at a middle school near the base. Wrangling a bunch of tweens while planning the annual school holiday lights festival is a far cry from playing Peter Pan. 
  Enter Merrick “Merry” Winters, the school’s grumpy but hot shop teacher. I can win over any audience, but Merry’s a tough sell. And I need his help to make the festival successful. 
  The more time I spend with Merry, the less grumpy he seems, and the more I like the guy. He’s the third generation of a legendary North Shore surfing family. He’s committed to raising his twin boys on the island as a single dad. And like me, he doesn’t have time for an inconvenient but undeniable attraction. 
  As disasters pile up, the only holiday magic Merry and I seem to be making is with each other. What starts as a harmless fling becomes the only present I want under my tree. 
  If I want this romance to last past New Year’s, I have to decide which dreams are truly worth chasing. 
  Can Merry and I catch a wave for a future together before the sun sets on this holiday season?

  Sure, lesbians love to bring a U-Haul on the second date. But what happens when the U-Haul crashes? 
   
   
   
  For Amelia Stone, it's a literal question as much as a figurative one. When plans to move in with her girlfriend go sideways, she's left with more questions about their future than answers. It doesn't help that she's spending far more time with the paramedic who came to her rescue than the woman she's supposed to be in love with. 
   
   
   
  When Finn Douglas responds to a routine traffic accident, the last thing she's looking for is love. But something about Amelia pulls her in. The more time they spend together, the more it feels like Amelia might be the one. If only Amelia didn't have her life all planned out with a woman who isn't Finn.

  Raw, moving and savagely funny, What You Into? is Josh Fox's autobiographical account of his spiral into the Grindr world of casual sex, hook-ups and dating apps following the break-up of his marriage. 
   
  'What you into?' 
  'I can host if ur looking?' 
  'What you into?' 
  'Do you like straight married men?' 
  'What you into?' 
  'Wanna meet in the bushes at the park?' 
   
  So many messages and not a single one asked how I was – or even asked my name. After a few minutes of bleak scrolling, I realised the only things I'm into are basic manners, commitment and being happily married. Which I also realised I wouldn't be finding on here. Still, that didn't stop me going off to meet the ninth stranger to slide into my inbox after finding myself getting sadder and sadder as each anonymous proposition pinged my way. 
   
  Raw, moving and savagely funny, What You Into? is Josh Fox's autobiographical account of his spiral into the Grindr world of casual sex, hook-ups and dating apps following the break-up of his marriage. 
   
  He documents this journey diary-style, chronicling the often weird, at times dark world of casual sex as he navigates his grief and anger through the consumption of men - only to discover that he too is being consumed by the process. 
   
  Fox's unflinching account of his descent into sex addiction, his struggle with depression and his search for a way back is framed within the broader background of his life. He shares his difficult upbringing in a housing estate in Manchester, and gives a self-critical commentary on his media career (and his complicated relationship with 'celebrity'), from his time as a teenage YouTube star and paparazzo through to his work in Australian radio. 
   
  What You Into? is a story of the push and pull of addiction, the power of compulsion over shame, the search for healing through destruction - set against the need for love and the desire to feel alive.

  We’re basically Romeo and Juliet. But dudes. And without all the dying.  
  Chad 
  Being VP of Sigma Beta Psi is wild. I get all the benefits of being in charge with hardly any of the responsibility.  
  Parties, pranks, and frat politics—college life has never been sweeter.  
  Until I meet Bailey Prince. 
  He has the face of a goddamn angel. I don’t know where he came from or why I’m so obsessed.  
  But I do know he’s a Kappa.  
  And our houses have a rivalry that’s written into legend. 
  Bailey 
  At Rho Kappa Tau, I’m a legacy.  
  It’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve always been responsible, never had that rebellious need to rock the boat, and I like it that way.  
  But after a party at Sigma—the jock frat—I meet Chad Doomsen, and for the first time in my life I want to step outside my square.  
  Our houses have always had a rivalry, but some of the guys seem to hate Chad specifically, and I don’t know why. 
  He’s surprisingly sweet and kind. At least to me. 
  I need to stay away. A relationship with Chad would be betraying the very legacy that brought me here. 
  But I can’t help myself. And it seems, neither can he.
