  “Georgia Pritchett is a singularly hilarious person. Her book is a delightful and perfect reflection of her. Its tenderness sneaks up on you and really packs a punch. What a magnificent read!”—Julia Louis Dreyfus 
  Jenny Lawson meets Nora Ephron in this joyful memoir-in-vignettes on living—and thriving—with anxiety from a multiple Emmy Award-winning comedy writer whose credits include Succession and Veep. 
  When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words—a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer—she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book. 
  A natural born worrywart, Georgia’s life has been defined by her quirky anxiety. During childhood, she was agitated about the monsters under her bed (Were they comfy enough?). Going into labor, she fretted about making a fuss (“Sorry to interrupt, but the baby is coming out of my body,” I said politely). Winning a prestigious award, she agonized over receiving free gifts after the ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying).  
  Soul-baring yet lighthearted, poignant yet written with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life is a tour through the carnival funhouse of Georgia’s life, from her anxiety-ridden early childhood where disaster loomed around every corner (When I was little I used to think that sheep were clouds that had fallen to earth. On cloudy days I used to worry that I would be squashed by a sheep), through the challenges of breaking into an industry dominated by male writers, to the exquisite terror (and incomparable joy) of raising children. 
  Delightfully offbeat, painfully honest, full of surprising wonders, and delivering plenty of hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life reveals a talented, vulnerable, and strong woman in all her wisecracking weirdness, and makes us love it—and her—too.

  Narrative of the Life of...

  "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is an autobiography written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became a prominent abolitionist and orator in the United States in the 19th century. The book was first published in 1845 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of African American literature. 
  Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in the early 1800s. He never knew his father and was separated from his mother when he was only a few months old. He was raised by his grandmother on a plantation until he was about six years old, at which point he was sent to live with the plantation owner's family in Baltimore. It was there that Douglass learned to read and write, despite the fact that it was illegal to teach slaves to read. 
  When Douglass was around 12 years old, he was sent back to the plantation to work as a field hand. He endured years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his slave owners, and he witnessed the brutal treatment of his fellow slaves. Despite these hardships, Douglass never lost his desire for freedom. 
  In 1838, Douglass escaped from slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts, where he became involved in the abolitionist movement. He began giving speeches and lectures about his experiences as a slave, and his powerful oratory quickly made him a popular and respected figure. He also published his own newspaper, called The North Star, which was dedicated to the abolition of slavery.
