Why Mummy Drinks on Holiday: The...

Gill Sims

No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixth Why Mummy novel.
When family life gives you lemons, trade them for grapes!
Mummy Ellen has a Vision. She will cherish every moment this holiday with her Moppets Peter and Jane, alongside her ride-or-die best pal, Hannah. There will be wicker baskets! Vintage bicycles! Pink sunshine wine! And not an electronic babysitter in sight.
But as she strives for her picture-perfect “Ultimate Family Summer” in her not-quite-a-chateau, reality crashes the party. With small feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly MIA, wine o’clock gets earlier by the day.
Can Ellen keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige ‘freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she reach the end of her Gentle Parenting book – and her tether – as her dream holiday descends into a nightmare?
Join Ellen on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape.
Gill Sims, known for her autofiction and biographical stories, once again delivers a masterpiece. Why Mummy Drinks on Holiday is a testament to her storytelling prowess, weaving themes of marriage, divorce, and friendship into a humorous and relatable narrative.
For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Freya Kennedy (The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn), Kristen Bailey (Textbook Romance), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew).

The Gods Of Pegana - The First...

Lord Dunsany

In today's world, mythical bestiaries are fairly common. In the middle ages, they told of fantastic monsters and beasts that roamed the edge of the world, and today they are creations of whole other worlds, peopled by strange gods and stranger people.The Gods of Pegana was the book that marked the transition from imaginary creatures in the real world to the gods of imaginary world. Lord Dunsany was the most influential writer in the genre that came to be known as fantasy, of which his stories set trends for that continue to this day.He was an influence on Tolkien, Lovecraft, Gaiman, Borges, Clarke, Moorcock, Yeats, Le Guin and many more besides. Worlds of monsters and magic, of strange names and stranger tales, were all born in Dunsany’s work. Before him, the closest thing to fantasy that existed was folktales; after him, people built worlds beyond imagining and epic stories in the lands he first explored

I Want My Epidural Back -...

Anonym

Now that I’m a mom, I know the most painful part isn’t getting something giant through your hooha. It’s having a real live child. 
If you are the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo’s organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino’s pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. 
But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won’t put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really it’s because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. 
I WANT MY EPIDURAL BACK is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alpert’s honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if you’re smart and read it there.

God Help!

Lora A. York

My book is a teaching book for Christians that aren't exposed to manifestations of the Spirit and things like deliverance. It is filled with personal stories, so it is not scholarly at all. I don't want it to sound stuffy. I want it to sound like a shepherd teaching his flock. I want people to be filled with hope and to believe that my tools will help them succeed in their Christian walk and that they will grow as they interact with all three persons of the Trinity. If I have all caps I want a forceful voice like the prayer chapter. Prayer can be like telling your children to turn their music down. You have to raise the volume of your voice and be forceful. For the study questions, I would like a nice flowing pondering tone. My book is about the tools that I was given by God to succeed in having a passionate and fulfilling Christian walk. I hope people will be interactive and take an active part with interacting with God.
