Crosby Charlotte: Lucky Break

Lucky Break

A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women's voices to be heard.Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea.Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip.All-too-often dismissed as the pastime of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there's more to gossip than meets the eye. In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure.Tracing gossip's roots from old wives' tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Beliefasks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out?A joyous reclamation of women's words, this book is for anyone who's ever uttered the words, 'You won't believe this...'

Drive Me Crazy

FROM THE AUTHOR OF AS YOUNG AS THIS 'So wryly funny ... Roxy Dunn writes so smoothly about the limitations - and liberations - of adult love with such delicacy and honesty' CLAIRE DAVERLEY, author of Talking at Night 'A thoroughly amusing coming of age (in your thirties) novel written with wit, honesty and tenderness' CLAIRE POWELL, author of At the Table Independence seems to be drifting away from Misty. Just months ago, she was living with her fiancé and planning their life together. Now she's single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn't how thirty-two was meant to look. When Misty turns to dating apps, she's immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn't doesn't even notice the acronym 'ENM' on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for 'ethical non-monogamy' - and that he's in a long-term open relationship - she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go. And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. It's all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next 'real' relationship. But is what she wants really what she needs? 'So enjoyable ... The writing is just so good and moreish. I loved it' Catherine Airey, author of Confessions 'Roxy Dunn is oh so good on love ... Wants and Needs is witty, warm and seriously sexy' Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint

Wants and Needs

'A must-read account from a heroic reporter who has taken on the world's most dangerous tech company' - Chris Miller, award-winning author of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology 'Engaging . . . this excellent book lays out the damage of letting arbitrary political power intervene in business' - Financial Times It's on your phone. It's on your children's phones. It's on more than a billion screens across the planet, serving up joy, creativity and connection. But behind the slick feed of the world's most addictive app lies ruthless ambition and a global war for control. This is the dramatic, untold story of TikTok. Charting its rise from obscurity into the world's most valuable startup, Emily Baker-White reveals how TikTok's visionary founder, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming, reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information comes to you. Billions of users were soon hooked by the most effective recommendation algorithm in the world. But there was a cost to such success. Soon, TikTok was embroiled in accusations of surveillance, censorship and user manipulation, attracting controversy from India and Europe to the US. After Baker-White - a Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative reporter - revealed that Chinese engineers could access Americans' private information, a team of ByteDance employees even used the app to track her location. Based on unprecedented access to internal documents, leaked recordings and accounts from whistle-blowers inside the company, Every Screen on the Planet reveals how TikTok became trapped between two superpowers, desperate to survive. It is the story of how your attention became the world's moннннst valuable - and dangerous - commodity. 'Revealing. A story about power, control and the hidden battles shaping what we see online' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! A "traditional wife" influencer allows a demonic creature to impregnate her in this unnerving horror novel, perfect for fans of Nightbitch and Mary, from the author of Serial Killer Support Group. Every #tradwife needs a baby. She’ll get one at any cost. When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband, Graham, have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy. When Camille discovers a mysterious, decrepit well in the wheatfield behind her house, she makes a wish for a baby. Afterward, she has unsettling experiences that she convinces herself are angelic in nature, and when she’s visited one night by a strange creature, her wish comes true.&nbsp; Camille’s pregnancy announcement gets more engagement than anything she’s ever posted—so what if Graham’s reaction is lukewarm? Camille’s life is finally falling into place. Never mind that her pregnancy is developing freakishly rapidly and she’s suddenly craving raw meat. Being a traditional wife is worth it. Rosemary’s Baby for the digital age, this disturbing horror novel is one you’ll want to devour in just one bite.

“Insanely big-hearted.” —The Washington Post “Electric.” —The New York Times “Tender, immersive, and thrilling." —Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow "One of the best novels I’ve ever read about friendship.” —Stephen King, #1 bestselling author In this story of intense friendship and grit, two down-and-out teens escape their lives and chase a different future through rock-climbing -- from the New York Times bestselling author of My Absolute Darling. Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout.

As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and their decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give. With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, and soul-searching novel about risking everything to change your life.

Just One Look At You

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
