    Once a superstar in the world of cycling and one of its most interesting personalities, Lance Armstrong is known for pushing his body to the extreme, intimidating his rivals, and breaking the rules. Armstrong's many achievements were consistently dogged by allegations of doping and secrecy, allegations to which the cyclist ultimately acknowledged. Lance takes a long, hard, objective look at Armstrong's life—before his admission of guilt—both on and off the bike, beginning with his humble origins and his single mom's struggle for survival. John Wilcockson provides numerous details of how Armstrong's legendary training, a near-fatal bout with cancer, and battles with the media drove him to reach the pinnacle of his sport. Drawing on dozens of interviews with teammates, friends, and family—many who spoke publicly for the first time—Wilcockson delivers a biography on the life of this controversial athlete.

    Did you know that bees have been around for over 100 million years? Or that the Brehon Laws included judgments about the rightful ownership of swarms? And why Irish beekeepers plant bluebells around their hives?
    From the perfection of their hexagonal honeycombs to their ordered matriarchal society, bees have been revered for thousands of years.
    In this beautifully illustrated book, beekeeper's daughter and student of folklore Eimear Chaomhánach weaves folktales about bees with memories of growing up in a beekeeping household, collecting swarms with her father and learning how to harvest honey.
    With legends about Aristotle and Irish saints and accounts of customs such as 'telling the bees', this is a fascinating look at the beliefs and traditions about bees and beekeeping.

    Good sense, good jokes, and good WIL - a book about enduring turbulent times with humour, community and just a dash of Apple Cider Vinegar. 
     
    'How are you?' 
     
    How am I? How am I? How do you think I am? I know in the Before Times the tradition was to reply, 'I'm fine, thanks.' Then you would ask how they were, and they would reply, 'I'm fine, thanks.' And then we would all get on with our lives. But I can't play my part in that pantomime anymore. I cannot say, 'I am fine, thanks,' because (spoilers) I am not fine, thanks. 
     
    What do you get when a housebound comedian is left with no option but to make comedy using only a rampant washing machine, a lot of Vaseline (it's for the pipes - no, not that pipe), a roast chook and an unused exercise bike to keep him company? You get I Am NOT Fine, Thanks. 
     
    From prime ministers who don't hold a hose, to billionaires who think they're astronauts, to people who think lizards are ruling the country and that thermometers are wiping your memory, it's abundantly clear that the world is going to hell. 
     
    In I Am NOT Fine, Thanks Wil Anderson uses his iconic dry humour to soothe the sting of the last few years - laughter is the best medicine, after all (or is it Apple Cider Vinegar?). Part memoir, part manifesto and all comedy, this is a book that will both make your every frustration feel heard and show you that there is plenty to hope for.

    This a very unique and unusual love story. It is the life changing story of two people who met as children and fell in love. It starts out as a classic boy meets girl tale that becomes one that I would have never expected to be a part of in my wildest dreams. I am a scientist and I can't scientifically explain what happened, but I now know what it was. This is a story with drama, excitement, tenderness, and understated humor with a love story woven throughout. This story will not finish in the way that it began. I am not the same person I once was and will never be the same again. I still love her with all my heart. TRUE LOVE IS NOT SEEN WITH OUR EYES, BUT WITH OUR HEART AND SOUL. This is our story.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
    'Worthy' by Jada Pinkett Smith is a deeply personal memoir revealing the complexities behind her seemingly fairy-tale Hollywood life. The book delves into her challenging journey, from her rebellious youth in Baltimore to her involvement in the drug trade, her profound connection with Tupac Shakur, and her eventual move to Los Angeles, where she carved out a successful career on her terms. It also explores her life as the wife of Will Smith and mother to their children, capturing her rollercoaster experiences from battling suicidal depression to achieving self-acceptance and spiritual healing. 
    Pinkett Smith offers an intimate conversation, sharing insights into her difficult childhood, marriage, parenting style, career decisions, and the intense public scrutiny she faced, especially following the widely publicized incident involving her husband, referred to as 'the slap.' The memoir is a critique of the media-driven narratives that often overshadow celebrities' true selves. It's an exploration of authenticity, challenging the labels and stories crafted by others that can strip women of their true identities. 
    'Worthy' is not just a recount of a celebrity's life; it's an educational and engaging narrative that sheds light on Pinkett Smith's refusal to conform to societal expectations. The book includes writing prompts and meditations, guiding readers on a journey of self-discovery and self-worth and mirroring the author's path to understanding and embracing her most lovable qualities.
