  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.

  Beautifully Lost

  I wasn’t supposed to be here. Not in the poetic look how far I’ve come kind of way. I mean it quite literally. There were moments I thought I had nothing left to give, when the weight of my own thoughts made it hard to breathe, and I started to believe that life was just hard. But a quieter part of me knew that wasn’t the whole truth. Maybe I wasn’t broken, just lost, and perhaps being lost wasn’t something to fear but something to honour. 
  Accompanied by a music album with the same name, Beautifully Lost tells the story of what happened when I finally decided to listen to that voice. Set in crowded streets filled with neon and quiet mornings spent alone with my thoughts, it is a journey through chaos and clarity, mistakes and magic, loss and love. 
  Above all, it is a story of hope, connection, and a reminder that even in the moments we feel lost, there is still beauty to be found.

  On the Decay of the Art of Lying

  Mark Twain

  In On the Decay of the Art of Lying (1880), Mark Twain offers a witty, satirical defense of lying as a necessary and even noble human art. He begins by observing that lying is a universal trait, present in everyone, but laments that it is no longer done skillfully or for virtuous reasons. Twain argues that lying, when done with good intentions—such as to protect others’ feelings or preserve harmonies, is far preferable to harsh truth-telling that causes harm. He criticizes hypocritical moralists who lie while pretending to be virtuous and instead advocates for honest acknowledgment of the role lies play in everyday life. 
  Twain calls for a revival of lying as a thoughtful, considerate act rather than a selfish or malicious one. He suggests that lying should be taught and refined, much like any other art form, so that it can serve beneficial ends. Satirizing society's pretensions and moral contradictions, Twain uses humor and irony to challenge conventional views on honesty. Ultimately, his essay is not a blanket endorsement of deceit, but a call to recognize the complexity of truth and to use lies, when necessary, with kindness and responsibility. Through this piece, Twain cleverly blurs the line between truth and fiction.

He is hoping to save the world but is also fleeing the Mail Pile.

Sage has a faithful equine companion, No-Name Stupid (the original "Horse with No Name"). But even with Stupid's dedicated assistance, can the great quest succeed? And will Boo Radley Goes Hawaiian ever be written? This Third Edition, retitled The Way Beyond, includes revised material that brings the reader deeper into the story.
