  The Girl Who Cried Love: A Pivot to Self-Worth is a raw, unfiltered memoir-meets-manifesto about breaking cycles, letting go of toxic love, and finally coming home to yourself. 
  For years, Lindsay Manfredi — bassist for the rock band Cold and author of Unfuckwithable: A Guide to Inspired Badassery — thought confidence and self-worth were the same thing. She wore confidence like armor: smiling through heartbreak, hustling through exhaustion, and chasing love in all the wrong places. But beneath it all was a truth she couldn’t outrun — she didn’t believe she truly deserved the love, respect, and good things she was giving to everyone else. 
  In this deeply personal and empowering journey, Lindsay peels back the layers of her own story — from self-sabotage and substance abuse to healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming her worth. With honesty, grit, and moments of laugh-out-loud humor, she offers hope to anyone who has ever: 
  * Worn confidence like a mask to hide the cracks underneath 
  * Clung to relationships or situations that couldn’t give them what they needed 
  * Numbed the pain to survive another day 
  * Felt “not enough” no matter what they achieved 
  The Girl Who Cried Love is more than a story. It’s an invitation to stop chasing validation and start valuing yourself — exactly as you are. 
  If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or stuck in a cycle you can’t break, this book will remind you: you are not broken. You are becoming.

  What is it about crime that we find so fascinating, even if at the same time the details are repugnant? Why exactly do we immerse ourselves in true crime podcasts and TV shows? Has this appetite for gore shifted over the years? And what role does the crime reporter play in all of this?
  In this compelling book, Martin Brunt draws on the most shocking and harrowing stories he's covered over the past thirty years to document the life of a crime reporter and assess the public obsession with crime that his reporting caters for. He also considers the wider relationship between the press and the police, the impact of social media and the question of why some crimes are ignored while others grip the nation.
  Featuring many undisclosed details on some of the biggest cases Brunt has covered, from the 'Diamond Wheezers' to Fred and Rose West, this blend of storytelling and analysis is not only a riveting overview of the nature of crime reporting but a reflection on the purpose of the profession in the first place.

  In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Laksmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if, in the near future, the majority of people will be disabled—and what if that's not a bad thing? And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom are crucial to creating a future in which it's possible to survive fascism, climate change, and pandemics and to bring about liberation? 
   
   
   
  Building on the work of her game changing book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other—and the rest of the world—alive during Trump, fascism, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care, and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy. 
   
   
   
  Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those concerned about disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honor songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death.
