    I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
    Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
    In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
    She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
    Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
    This is narrated for the author.

    The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. 
    Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. 
    As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. 
    In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. 
    This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.  
    Transitional is a powerful guide to understanding the deeply ingrained experience of transitioning in human consciousness. 
    Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers, and activists to reveal how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

    The finest book on Britain's most popular rock 'n' roll band'Read on … It's all true' Noel Gallagher 
    Featuring an exclusive interview with Noel Gallagher and bespoke artwork by celebrated Oasis album designer Brian Cannon 
    Think Oasis was just Britpop and brawls? 
    Think again. 
    John Robb was there every step of the way. In this, the definitive book on Britain’s biggest band, he peels back the layers of Manchester’s best-known musical export, revealing a tale of ambition, ego, talent and a whole lot of attitude. From the estates of South Manchester to the dizzying heights of global stardom, Live Forever is a rollercoaster ride through the Gallagher brothers’ turbulent lives and the music that defined a generation. But it is also a portrait of Britain around the turn of the millennium and the cultural forces and places that shaped, and were shaped by, two cocksure upstarts from Burnage – from art to fashion, and from football to politics. 
    Playful, funny and irreverent, and drawing on dozens of interviews and first-hand stories, this book puts Oasis squarely in the pantheon of music royalty as the last great rock ’n’ roll stars. 
    John Robb's Live Forever is a Sunday Times bestselling book that takes readers on a journey through the history of Oasis. This biography, a top pick in non-fiction, explores the styles and influences that shaped the band, making it a must-read for fans of music history. 
    For fans of Simon Spence (All or Nothing), Legs Mcneil (I Slept With Joey Ramone), Steven Blush (Hard-Core), Lol Tolhurst (Cured), and Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners).
