  The Unindexed Mind

  This isn't a self-help book. It's a mental junk drawer — full of quotes, chaos, forklift wisdom, and a guy just trying to make sense of the noise. 
  No chapters. No index. No roadmap. You'll find meaning, then lose it again. And maybe that's the point. 
  It's part philosophy, part humor, part existential napkin scribble. 
  If you've ever argued with God in a break room or felt like socks next to the couch might symbolize existential dread... you're in the right place.

  Pregnant and divorced, Josie Hale seeks comfort in deep-fried food at the county fair where she runs into two old friends from high school: Ben Romero and Kevin Lawrence. After sharing their disappointments in adult life, they devise a life pact to move in together and turn their lives around. Josie finds herself the third wheel in a comedy bromance—much-needed medicine as she deals with a mountain of debt, unemployment, an overbearing mother, and preparing for single parenthood. But stress levels rise when her high-school feelings for Ben resurface. Still, her heart (and belly) is so full, she can't help feeling like she finally found where she belongs.

  Delight

  ‘An exquisitely-written, generous, funny, thoughtful book about the everyday joys of being alive. I love it.’ Dolly Alderton 
  ‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench 
  ‘My apology, my little bit of penitence, for having grumbled so much, for having darkened the breakfast table, almost ruined the lunch, nearly silence the dinner party, for all the fretting and chafing, grousing and croaking, for the old glum look and the thrust-out lower lip. So my long-suffering kinsfolk, my patient friends, may a glimmer of that delight which has so often possessed me, but perhaps too frequently in secret, now reach you from these pages.’ 
  There are times when there doesn’t seem much to smile about. And for those times, there is this book. J. B Priestley’s 1949 classic teaches us that joy may be found in even the simplest things, and that we all have the capacity to appreciate them. 
  Delight comprises a series of short essays, all focussing on a single simple pleasure, from reading detective stories in bed to smoking a pipe in the bath; from ‘Cosy planning’ to the earliest summer mornings; and from mineral water in the bedrooms of foreign hotels to the smell of bacon in the morning. 
  Combining poignant memories of his childhood with glimpses of his interior world, panoramas of life abroad with thoughts about writing, music, theatre – some strictly personal, some universal –this highly readable book bursts with humour and literary flare on every page. 
  In his autobiography, Priestley takes us on a travel through his life, sharing collections of moments that brought him happiness. This non-fiction memoirs book is a top pick for anyone seeking growth. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), Marion Turner (The Wife of Bath), Felicity Cloake (Red Sauce Brown Sauce), and Ross Gay (The Book of Delights).
