  I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, sight, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did. (Although this one doesn't have a spa!)My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details.Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie… haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers."You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”"I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving."“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.

  In this, the second installment in the How to Steer Your Kid series, M. P. MacDougall returns with a cast of irreverent characters and hilarious, only slightly embellished stories.  
  There’s something for everyone who ever grew up in a somewhat weird family. MacDougall relates a variety of slapstick adventures - from taxidermy gone horribly wrong, to near-drownings while encased in a sleeping bag, to being hunted by a mythical monster with a sadistic sense of humor. Redneck neighbors and red-hot peppers are no match for the erstwhile Jet Screamer. Suffering personal injury to his extremities and personal insults to his psyche, MacDougall survives it all with a steady diet of Meat Sandwiches!

  I'm Not Mad (Anymore)

  Bron Lewis

  A fiercely funny, feminist debut about mental health, motherhood and female rage, for fans of Caitlin Moran, Celeste Barber and Tanya Hennessy. 
   
  Bron Lewis is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians, regularly appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here. No stranger to madness – from watching her mother smash a casserole dish through the family dining table while going through ‘the change’, to finding herself singing Tina Arena’s ‘Chains’ at the top of her lungs in public to drown out the sound of her babies’ cries – Bron has experienced her fair share of dark nights of the soul. 
   
  Bron was taught as a child, like most other young girls, that it’s expected for women to go mad. When we see a woman lose her footing and, for example, yell ‘MOTHERHOOD IS WAY HARDER THAN THEY BLOODY SAY IT IS’ at a pregnant stranger through four lanes of traffic, we usually look away, laugh into our collars, and thank Christ-on-a-bike that we aren’t as mad as she is. 
   
  If you’ve ever cringed as you watched your mum stumble dramatically through hot flushes, or soiled your pants in Kmart, or found yourself struggling through the seemingly unending chapter of becoming a new mum, then this is the book for you. Watch Bron spiral into rage and out of it so you can avoid the same fate. 
   
  I’m Not Mad (Anymore) sheds light on the mental struggles women go through silently, from post-natal depression and anxiety to menopause and all the muck in between. 
   
  You will laugh, cry and look at your mum in a whole new light.
