  Are you a self-proclaimed "momager" or "dadager?" Do you think your kid is the ultimate best? This is the book for you! 
   
   
   
  Dear parents everywhere—we get it, you love your kid. But, let's face it: no matter how much you praise them, your kid is most likely not the next child prodigy. Be that as it may, we are pretty sure the neighbors are tired of hearing about how the fruit of your loins got the lead in the school play or scored the most points in the last game when they are just trying to grab a burger at the barbecue. 
   
   
   
  ● Your kid can carry a tune? Shut up, they are not the next Whitney Houston. 
   
   
   
  ● Your kid scored the most goals out of anyone on the soccer team? Shut up, they are not the next Cristiano Ronaldo. 
   
   
   
  ● You didn't get straight As but your kid does? Shut up, they are not the next Elon Musk . . . although they might be one of his kids. 
   
   
   
  ● Your kid spends 24/7 on their phone and has a TikTok account? Shut up, they are not the next big online influencer or YouTuber. 
   
   
   
  Filled with brief banter and an inspiring introduction with Tom Brady Sr., this book is sure to add a much needed laugh or two to every parent's day!

  'Persistently funny, ill-advisedly honest and deadly accurate' – Caitlin Moran'This book is a delight - very real and very entertaining' – Bob MortimerMusic journalist, self-professed creep and former winner of the coveted ‘Fittest Girl in Year 11’ award, Harriet Gibsone lives in fear of her internet searches being leaked. Harriet spent much of her young life feeding neuroses and insecurities with obsessive internet searching (including compulsive googling of exes, prospective partners, and their exes), and indulging in whirlwind ‘parasocial relationships’ (translation: one-sided affairs with celebrities she has never met).Suddenly, with a diagnosis of early menopause in her late twenties, her relationship with the internet takes a darker turn, as her online addictions are thrown into sharp relief by the corporeal realities of illness and motherhood.An outrageously funny, raw and painfully honest account of trying to find connection in the age of the internet, Is This Ok? is the launch of an exciting new comic voice.The audiobook is narrated by Harriet Gibsone and includes an exclusive audio Q&A with Harriet.'Very funny and deeply moving' – Sara Pascoe'Hilarious and brutal! I could not put it down' – Lou Sanders

  Mark Twain: THE DIARIES OF ADAM...

  Mark Twain

  Mark Twain wrote these two diaries, or rather as he insists, 'translated them from the original manuscripts', late in his writing career. The freshness, wonder and excitement of exploring a new world permeates Eve's thoughts as she takes great joy in her very existence and loves everything about it. To me this is obviously a posthumous love-letter to Twain's wife Olivia Langdon Clemens, or Livy, who died in June 1904, but others may disagree. Adam's diary is different and he comes across as a somewhat surly person who just wants to be alone and think his thoughts. he is also not very bright. How the two finally come together is what makes these stories so wonderful and expresses the love between a husband and wife. They were written as two separate works but fit together so well I have combined them into one here. -

  For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories. 
  My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions. 
  “Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides 
  "In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test

  Don't miss the perfect Christmas present for yourself (or for that best friend who would definitely help you hide a body…) 
  ––––––––––––––––––––– 
  Anna's Christmas Eve To Do List: 
  1. Wrap the kids' presents​ 
  2. Peel the potatoes ​ 
  3. Get rid of the dead body?! 
  Hungover and exhausted after her family's annual party, all Anna Johnson wants for Christmas is to finish her to-do list and finally sit down with the world’s biggest glass of wine. 
  But when she stumbles across a dead body in her larder, her plans are well and truly buggered. 
  A mysterious death in her home really is the last thing she needs, but with her judgemental in-laws arriving in less than twenty-four hours, turning her house into a crime scene is not an option. If she’s going to save Christmas, it’s up to Anna to find out what the hell’s gone on. Oh – and figure out what to do with the body before one of the kids finds it. 
  And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen…
