Bettina is wyd bekend vir haar weeklikse rubrieke vir LitNet en as iemand wat opstaan vir reg en geregtigheid.

Sy het haar 50 gunsteling-meningstukke gekies en sê: “My rubrieke is nie bedoel om net nog 'n eggokamer te wees waar mense nét dit weerspieël sien waarin hulle glo nie. Juis nie. Wat ek hoop om elke week te doen is om mense aan die dink en aan die gesels te kry.”

"Feel-good, laugh out loud funny, yet also deeply moving..." "The way Grace has written about her mental health issues and woven it around the story is inspirational and will strike a chord with many readers" The comical tales of a new mum on her journey from post-natal depression to the dawning of her self-worth as she discovers adventure, friendship and the healing power of horses. Join Grace as she battles her negative thought patterns and fears amongst a backdrop of eccentric characters, pampered farm animals and the glorious Yorkshire countryside. Wisdom comes from unexpected sources leading Grace to a psychological and spiritual awakening of the true meaning of motherhood. While an elderly, opinionated pony teaches her how to love her daughter, a scary young sports horse teaches her how to relax and enjoy life again. Just watch out for the goats... For fans of James Herriot and Ruby Ferguson's Jill books, The Yard is a hilarious and heart-warming, joy to read.

'n Splinternuwe, skitterende versameling kortverhale deur Nataniël. 20 in Afrikaans en 8 in Engels. Skreeusnaaks, aangrypend, wys, onvoorspelbaar en -- soos altyd -- hoogs vermaaklik.

Soos gewoonlik delf hy goud uit sy kinderjare -- oor sy ouers, sy ouma -- maar daar is ook fantastiese en fantasmagoriese verhale oor sy lewe as sanger op plattelandse dorpies, oor 'n vreemdeling wat hom een aand in sy huis help om sy vrese te besweer, en hoe 'n mens jou eerste reus oorwin . . .

'No' is the first thing I ever said. It was actually the only thing I said in my first speaking months. Like most children, I was born with an innate ability to set boundaries for myself. 'No.' 'Mine.' I intuitively knew how to practise self-care and self-preservation. Then, at some point, just like my ability to shuffle across the floor on my butt, I forgot how to say no... Traumatic childhood sleepovers, stressful social occasions, unrealistic demands at work, unwanted second dates and endless offers of cake, in her memoir, award-winning writer Stefanie Preissner leaves no NO unexplored. From the issue of consent, and what happens when a whole country comes together to say Yes, Can I Say NO? is one woman's honest and hilarious take on how re-learning one small word can pave the way to saying YES to who you really are.

Welcome to the story of Sami – entrepreneur, blêrie influencer and social media content creator. Throughout her time on Earth she has constantly asked herself what she believes to be the most important question in her life: ‘Why do these things always happen to me?’

From almost manslaughtering her teacher’s unborn baby, shattering her dad’s dream of an athlete spawn and almost being murdered by a goose, she certainly has some stories to tell.

In The Memoirs of a Clumsy Potato Sami Hall takes you through some of the life events – tough and challenging events – that changed her forever and shaped her into the weird, clumsy, constantly tired potato that we know and love. The road hasn’t always been easy and there have been several obstacles along the way, but as Sami herself would tell you, it was all part of the journey and that her story is far from finished.

Enjoy the funny, sad, weird and outlandish stories of Sami’s life and take a glimpse into her mind while we explore the million things that cause her to break into lengthy and passionate rants – loadshedding, potholes, and cell signal to name a few, and also get some answers to the internet’s most burning questions.

"Looking for financial freedom? A perfect plan to drop 25 pounds overnight? How about one simple step to have someone secretly fall in love with you? Sorry... not here, not today. There's already enough of those types of works out there (all with "the" master plan), that's why you won't find that here...." So then, what is this book about? Simply told, Snippets Of A Life is a collection of illustrated short stories, prose and reflections as told by Michael Raymond, an Operations Engineer and retired sailor from the Pacific Northwest. With tales ranging from humorous to the slightly macabre he offers up for the reader different events that, although distinctive to his life, at one time or another could relate in some form or fashion to all our lives. In sharing these stories, the author provides a different perspective of moments we all share, in the hopes that you can take time to relax and not worry so much about "where life is taking you, or why you weren't given instructions and a map at the start line...." Oh, and if you really are interested in fixing those little problems mentioned earlier, the author does offer up an easy solution for all three (it is however, inside the book, so you'll have to splurge a little).

A parody that is the antithesis of self help books. The original pile of eloquent filth. Some have suggested that this black cloud of wisdom is, in fact, the Anti-Christ in paperback. But you know better. You know there comes a time when children need tripping, dolphins need flogging, and by gum, old people need a-murderin'. Add it to your collection today for a brighter and bitter tomorrow. In the spirit of Saturday Night Live's pithy Jack Handey, DiGiorgio gives advice on how to be more self-centered, cynical, and, most importantly, how to have a good time.

In late 2018, Michael Harding was in a hotel room in Blanchardstown experiencing severe pains in his chest. He eventually phoned an ambulance and was admitted to hospital, suffering from an acute heart attack. Here, in Chest Pain, he looks at the months before the heart attack when he kept the signs of failing health from his beloved and instead retreated into solitude -- and with his own inimitable style and humour takes us with him through the months after a stent had been inserted in his heart, where he travels the roads of Donegal in a camper van in a journey back to the beloved, and to himself. Chest Pain is a thought-provoking, spell-binding memoir about togetherness and what it means to be alive.
