I'm Celibate...Get Me Out Of Here! is the hysterically funny, true
story of Jo Elliott, a solvent, successful and single 30-something
from London who's looking for her ideal man. Having explored all
the traditional avenues, she reluctantly looks at a dating website.
"Oh god. That's for freaks and weirdos!", she declares, before
signing up. This book is a frank, fiesty, laugh out loud account of
Jo's subsequent encounters. She tells it like it is - and it ain't
pretty! From a never ending succession of messages from men with
fake pictures and names like Big_Cock_4U, to dull dates with blokes
who've lied about everything (especially their height). Not to
mention custard pies and the angry wife she didn't know existed.
Hilarious REAL emails Jo received show how digital-cupid can get it
SO wrong, but equally how easy it is to fall in love with someone
you've never even met over the keyboard.

Each of the 12 letters begins with a unique prompt like:

- I always think of you when ...
- One thing I'm glad we share is ...
With this keepsake collection of letters, you fill each note with a message that shares memories and gratitude for your very special mother. Once complete, you can postdate the letters—crafted as fold-and-mail-style envelopes—and seal them with the included stickers to create a priceless time capsule. When mom opens the letters in the future, she will receive an invaluable gift: a tangible reminder of her child’s love.
How can we create more meaningful and intimate connections with our
loved-ones? By using moments of discord to strengthen our
relationships, explains this original, deeply researched book. You
might think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of
a good relationship, but the truth is that human interactions are
messy, complicated, and confusing. The good news, however, is that
we are wired to deal with this from birth - and even to grow from
it and use it to strengthen our relationships, according to
renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and paediatrician Claudia Gold.
Scientific research - including Dr Tronick's famous 'Still-Face
Experiment' - has shown that working through mismatch and repair in
everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships;
resilience in times of stress and trauma; and a solid sense of self
in the world. This refreshing and original look at our ability to
relate to others and to ourselves offers a new way for us to think
about our relationships, and will reassure you that conflict is
both normal and healthy, building the foundation for stronger
connections.
A heartfelt, humorous personal memoir and relatable guide to
overcoming obstacles, wising up about romance, and getting ahead in
your career from the star of Netflix's hit reality show Selling
Sunset. In this engaging, witty, and inspirational memoir,
Chrishell Stause shares her story of living an unconventional
childhood in small-town Kentucky marked by periods of homelessness,
family addiction struggles and dreams of one day being on a daytime
soap, all while managing the local Dairy Queen. Through resilience
and grit, she overcame obstacles and pushed past every barrier in
her path to become one of the most envied luxury realtors in Los
Angeles and buzzworthy cast members in reality TV. She takes us
behind the scenes of Selling Sunset, reveals never-before-told
stories from her life in soaps, and even pulls back the curtain on
her highly publicised love life, offering insight not before
shared. With her signature honesty and charm, Stause also gives
tangible advice based on the lessons she's learned over the years
and offers unique insight about how to stay resilient and positive
no matter how many times life knocks you down. Under Construction
is for anyone who wants to remember that no matter what happens or
how, you have to get up, dress up and show up - and walk back into
the room stronger than ever before.
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up,
journalist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir,
she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage,
finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed
house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan
from the corner shop is the only man you've ever been able to rely
on, and finding that that your mates are always there at the end of
every messy night out. Glittering, with wit and insight, heart and
humour, this is a book about the struggles of early adulthood in
all its grubby, hopeful uncertainty.

In the beginning, marriage doesn't seem as though it should be all
that difficult. But it doesn't take long for trouble to seep in and
for bad habits to become entrenched. Before long, many married
couples may be wondering when the "worse" part ends and the
"better" part starts. Pastor and author Kevin A. Thompson has good
news for couples: the "better" part is always within reach when
they practice eight specific commitments to each other. These
commitments have the power to solve almost any problem a marriage
faces, and to prevent new ones from occurring. With biblical
insights and engaging personal stories, Thompson shows couples how
to see their marriage as bigger than themselves, avoid both apathy
and aggression, release the desire for power, make and maintain
peace, endure difficult times, and more. Perfect for newlyweds and
for married couples at any stage of life, Happily is the gateway to
a more loving, more joy-filled marriage.
