  Millionaire Beggar

  There are countless books about how to become a millionaire, but this book isn’t one of them. In fact, "Millionaire Beggar" takes you on a journey where riches and rags sit down for a cup of tea, laugh about life’s absurdities, and swap stories about how overrated both wealth and poverty really are. This isn’t a guide to getting rich, nor is it a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing money. Instead, it’s a humorous exploration of what happens when a man who has everything decides to give it all up — not for some noble cause, but because he thought it’d be more fun to sit on a park bench with a sign that says “Spare change?” 
  Why write about such an unusual character? Because in a world where success is measured by the number of zeros in your bank account, I thought it’d be refreshing to dive into a life where a millionaire trades in his tailored suits for second-hand trousers and a cardboard sign. This book is an invitation to laugh at the things we take too seriously, especially money. It’s about flipping the script on what it means to be successful, and most importantly, it’s about the simple joys that come from stepping out of society’s rat race and embracing the bizarre — in style. 
  So, as you read, don’t worry about the moral of the story or the “right way” to live your life. Let’s just enjoy the chaos, the humour, and the adventure of a man who proves that, sometimes, being rich isn’t nearly as entertaining as sitting on the street with a sign that says, “Will beg for laughs.”

  Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks:...

  This is a book about divine dicks, mortal pricks, and some epically long-suffering women. 
  The Ancient Greek myths and epics have spent the last few thousand years focusing on all the testosterone and willy-waving that their so-called heroes got up to. Now, at long last, it’s time to shine a light on the goddesses, nymphs and queens who had to endure all that unwanted wooing, the wrath of vengeful gods, and a lot of straight-up misogyny without complaint – or at least none that was considered worth noting. 
  Is it really heroic to start a war just because the girl you like fancies someone else? And seriously, when will men stop fobbing off women's ideas as their own? 
  These are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before. 
  Appleseed's Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks is a novel that reimagines the ancient Greek myths, focusing on the goddesses, nymphs, and queens who have been sidelined in the traditional stories. This humorous pastiche is a delightful blend of mythology and fiction, offering a fresh take on these timeless tales. 
  For fans of Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin), Ali Hazelwood (Deep End), Rebecca Yarros (The Things We Leave Unfinished), Jonathan Coe (Bournville), and Bea Fitzgerald (Girl, Goddess, Queen).

  From near miss to royal kiss—love was just a push away… 
  Ever believed in love at first sight? How about love at first push? Because that’s exactly how I collided with Topher one fateful December day. I may have literally knocked him to the ground to save him from an oncoming car, but trust me, it’s me who fell—hard. 
  Let’s be real: how could anyone resist someone who looks like a Hollywood heartthrob, with the chiseled charm of Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth rolled into one? Add in a swoon-worthy British-like accent, and the way he affectionately calls me “love,” and you’ve got a recipe for romance at its finest. 
  But it’s not just his looks that draw me in…it’s how he truly sees me. In a world where I feel safer hiding away—thanks to a past that keeps me off social media and out of the spotlight—Topher provides a warm, inviting bubble that shields us from reality. 
  Everything seems perfect until the day he drops the bombshell: he’s a prince. Suddenly, my quiet little world is turned upside down, and I have to navigate royal obligations, unexpected paparazzi, and my own fears about stepping into the limelight. 
  Can our fairytale romance withstand the pressures of the outside world, or is this bubble about to burst? 
  Perfect for fans of: 
  ✔️flirtatious banter 
  ✔️royalty romances 
  ✔️bookish heroes 
  ✔️opposites-attract stories 
  ✔️light holiday romances 
  ✔️relatable heroines 
  ✔️'N Sync references 
  This single-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.

  Don't Worry He Won't Get Far on...

  John Callahan

  In 1972, at the age of 21, John Callahan was involved in a car crash that severed his spine and made him a quadriplegic. A heavy drinker since the age of 12 (alcohol had played a role in his crash), the accident could have been the beginning of a downward spiral. Instead, it sparked a personal transformation. After extensive physical therapy, he was eventually able to grasp a pen in his right hand and make rudimentary drawings. By 1978, Callahan had sworn off drinking for good, and begun to draw cartoons. 
   
   
   
  Over the next three decades, until his death in 2010, Callahan would become one of the nation's most beloved—and at times polarizing—cartoonists. His work, which shows off a wacky and sometimes warped sense of humor, pokes fun at social conventions and pushes boundaries. One cartoon features Christ at the cross with a thought bubble reading "T.G.I.F." In another, three sheriffs on horseback approach an empty wheelchair in the desert. "Don't worry," one sheriff says to another, "He won't get far on foot." 
   
   
   
  Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot recounts Callahan's life story, from the harrowing to the hilarious.
