    Are you tired of being emotionally stable? 
    Do you wish you could turn every minor interaction into a full-blown existential crisis? 
    Look no further than Maybe I'm the Problem? – the ultimate guide to professional self-gaslighting and strategic overthinking. 
    From the brilliantly neurotic mind of Dicholas Chad Pansy comes a self-help book that will definitely not help you at all. 
    Inside, you’ll learn essential skills like: 
    Turning a simple "Hey" text into a three-day analysis of your entire life. 
    Convincing yourself that your perfectly fine presentation was actually a career-ending disaster. 
    Advanced techniques for imagining worst-case scenarios that defy the laws of physics. 
    The art of apologizing for things that happened in dreams. 
    Perfect for anyone who's ever: 
    ✅ Checked their stove seventeen times in one hour. 
    ✅ Spent a sleepless night replaying that weird thing they said in 2009. 
    ✅ Texted “no worries!!” while absolutely seething with worry. 
    ✅ Said “hope that helps!” in an email while actively panicking. 
    ⚠️ Warning: Side effects may include: 
    Increased self-awareness, 
    Decreased self-awareness, 
    Or both simultaneously. 
    Reader discretion is advised. (But don’t think about it too much. Or do. Oh god, now you’re overthinking whether you’re overthinking.)

    ""A gathering of gorgeous short pieces"" (Library Journal), Blue Pastures collects fifteen of Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning poet Mary Oliver's prose works about nature, writing, and herself. 
    ""This transcendent collection is Oliver's joyful sharing of her love of her craft.""—Library Journal 
    With consummate craftsmanship, Mary Oliver has fashioned fifteen luminous prose pieces: on nature, writing, and herself and those around her. She praises Whitman, denounces cuteness, notes where to find the extraordinary, and extols solitude. Nature speaks to her and she speaks to nature. 
    ""This book is biased, opinionated; also it is also joyful, and probably there is despair here too...But the reader will find the pleasures more certain, and more constant, than the rills of despond. Thus it has turned out in my life thus far, influenced by the sustaining passions: love of the wild world, love of literature, love for and from another person."" –Mary Oliver

    An intimate portrait of life in the world’s richest nation ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup. 
     
    Just 70 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts. 
     
    INSIDE QATAR reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar’s time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded princes, manual labourers and domestic workers, its teachers and policemen, culture vultures and thrill seekers. 
     
    “A stunning exposé... A social anthropologist by trade, McManus's focus is not on the secretive intrigues of Qatar's ruling family, but on the lives of ordinary people... McManus is an engaging writer, who can bring even anonymous interviewees to life.” TELEGRAPH

    BREAKING UP USED TO BE SIMPLE. 
    In 1996, you just asked for your CDs back. Now, in 2025, you're begging your ex to delete that picture of your b*tthole. Welcome to modern breakups—where the pain is digital, the receipts are forever, and your ex is still watching your Instagram stories. 
    This book is for anyone who has ever: 
    ✔️ Sent a “just checking in” text at 2 AM and immediately regretted it. 
    ✔️ Seen their ex on a dating app three days after the breakup and momentarily blacked out. 
    ✔️ Considered a full-blown career change just to avoid running into them. 
    ✔️ Attempted to post a thirst trap but overthought the caption for five hours. 
    Sorry, but getting dumped has never been more complicated. From the social media warfare to the existential dread of realizing your ex is suddenly hotter, Sorry About That is the hilariously vicious guide to surviving heartbreak in the digital age. 
    Warning: This book will not help you grow. It will, however, make you feel slightly less pathetic while you stalk their LinkedIn page.
