The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough.
Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.
The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name...
We do it in the dark. Under the sheets. With a penlight. We wear
sunglasses and a baseball hat at the bookstore. We have a "special
place" where we store them. Let's face it: Not many folks are
willing to publicly admit they love romance novels. Meanwhile,
romance continues to be the bestselling fiction genre. Ever. So
what's with all the shame?
Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan -- the creators of the wildly popular
blog Smart Bitches, Trashy Books -- have no shame They look at the
good, the bad, and the ugly in the world of romance novels and
tackle the hard issues and questions:
-- The heroine's irresistible Magic Hoo Hoo and the hero's
untamable Wang of Mighty Lovin'
-- Sexual trends. Simultaneous orgasms. Hymens. And is anal really
the new oral?
-- Romance novel cover requirements: man titty, camel toe,
flowers, long hair, animals, and the O-face
-- Are romance novels really candy-coated porn or vehicles by
which we understand our sexual and gender politics?
With insider advice for writing romances, fun games to discover
your inner Viking warrior, and interviews with famous romance
authors, "Beyond Heaving Bosoms" shows that while some romance
novels are silly -- maybe even tawdry -- they can also be
intelligent, savvy, feminist, and fabulous, just like their readers
W. Heath Robinson is best known for his hilarious drawings of zany
contraptions, though his work ranged across a wide variety of
topics covering many aspects of British life in the decades
following the First World War. Starting out as a watercolour
artist, he quickly turned to the more lucrative field of book
illustration and developed his forte in satirical drawings and
cartoons. He was regularly commissioned by the editors of Tatler
and The Sketch and in great demand from advertising companies.
Collections of his drawings were subsequently published in many
different editions and became so successful as to transform Heath
Robinson into a household name, celebrated for his eccentric brand
of British humour. Presenting such innovations as the 'Zip-Opening
Bonnet', the 'Duo-car for the Incompatible' and the handy 'New Rear
Wheel Gear for Turning the Car in One Movement', this volume of
Heath Robinson illustrations with commentary by K.R.G. Browne will
appeal to 'everybody who is ever likely to drive, be driven in, or
get run over by a mechanically propelled vehicle'.
Dana Snyman sien dinge op sy eiesoortige, aweregse manier. In deel
een is hy op pad saam met die TV-span van Op pad met Dana. Soos
hulle die land deurkruis op soek na stories, beleef Dana nie net
die lief en leed van die mense met wie hy gesels nie, maar ook sy
eie innerlike reis. Hy kom huistoe met 'n optelhond -- en met 'n
nuwe manier van kyk. In deel twee kyk hy rugby. In kroee,
township-huisies, saam met oom Frik du Preez en Joost van der
Westhuizen. Snaaks, skerp en onthutsend eerlik.
As an author, Bill is probably better known, under his byline of
Sean Collins, for his books set in the shadowy world of global
intelligence. He has been contributing, under several bylines, to
international magazines and press for over four decades. As a
travel writer, critic and editor, Bill has travelled extensively,
from Taipei and Tahiti to Hong Kong and Bora Bora. In Travails
Abroad, he takes a retrospective look at the embarrassing dilemmas
and outright disasters which have befallen him: from being glued to
a jeep in Tahiti, being trapped in an outside toilet on a
mountaintop in Turkey, and trying to attract the attention of the
staff of a Berlin restaurant to the fact his wife was on fire. He
says: `all the disasters in this book are absolutely true - I have
witnesses. I trust what I endured may appeal to the reader's sense
of humour and sympathy - they certainly didn't appeal to mine at
the time...' Bill admits that potential travellers reading this
book could be forgiven for deciding to stay at home.
