Dress Your Baby in Sage and Taupe
Welcome to the wonderful world of beige parenting, where newborns are swaddled in soothingly sophisticated taupe muslin blankies and toddlers play only with wooden toys in shades ranging from oatmeal to sand. In Dress Your Baby in Sage and Taupe, Hayley DeRoche, the creator known online as @sadbeige, delivers a witty, illustrated satire of the perfectly monochromatic curated lifestyle embraced by modern parents. In a collection ranging from essays and quizzes to advice columns and poems, she takes aim at buzzy parenting trends such as feeding children artisanal baby superfoods or choosing obscure names for their kids like Tawny and Sorrel. This guide walks new parents through every step of the sad beige parenting journey, from decorating the nursery (take care to choose a suitably existential theme such as the Vastness of the Universe), all the way to the milestone that is the first birthday party (be sure to eschew plastic party favors in favor of hand-whittled wooden toys.) Along the way, she gently encourages new parents to realize that they are already the ideal caregiver for their unique little person, with or without the latest limited edition baby carrier or must-have sleep course. With custom illustrations by Julia Emiliani, this heartfelt blend of humor and social commentary is a breath of fresh air for both overwhelmed parents and those striving for Instagram perfection.
Not That It Matters
Not that it matters presents a series of light essays that reveal gentle humor and sharp insight into ordinary life. Through reflections on the peculiar joys of golf, the subtle rituals of writing, and the quiet mysteries of suburban streets, the book offers a playful but meaningful engagement with the world. Milne begins with a meditation on the supposed inspiration drawn from a new pen nib, using this seemingly trivial moment to explore the whimsical challenges writers face in summoning creativity. Rather than offering grand philosophical declarations, Milne moves with ease through subjects like Acacia Road, a symbol of quiet domestic life, to ruminations on personal libraries, where unread books and old favorites coexist in an almost comical hierarchy. The essays maintain a tone of gentle irony while also revealing the author s affection for the details of daily existence. Beneath the surface of his wit lies a sincere curiosity about how people live, work, and find joy in small things. The charm of the writing lies in its ability to elevate the mundane into something quietly resonant and enduring.

50 Badass Cat Ladies
No longer derogatory but a compliment, being called 'a cat lady' is now considered to be cool. Since J.D Vance called Kamala Harris a childless cat lady in 2021, while being interviewed by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the coined phrase became viral. In 2024, when Donald Trump chose him as his VP in the run-up to the presidential election, it sparked backlash on the web with women commenting "Never been more proud to be a childless cat lady!" Then followed Taylor Swift's statement post on Instagram to her 283 million fans: "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them." Signed: Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady. This book celebrates the new trend of the proud cat lady by drawing 50 portraits of powerful women with their beloved cats, from the late 19th century until today. "Recently, embracing your inner cat lady has become not only acceptable, it's even fashionable [...] our current cat lady era could be seen as a feminist win." Lauren Cochrane, Elle magazine online, 6th of Feb 2024

Dancing with Chihuahuas
For all of you out there who enjoyed reading my previous book Watching the World, this is what you've been waiting for!Dancing with Chihuahuas is somewhat of a follow-up, packed with plenty more of my anecdotal stories from here, there and everywhere. There's tales garnered from my travels, incidents experience when walking round the supermarket, an insight into a few rather strange job interviews I've had over the years, a tale about staying in a bed and breakfast, and, of course, one of my favourite subjects: the great British public and what they manage to get up to in restaurants!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this book, and that you get as much pleasure from reading it as I did compiling and writing it. And one last thought for you... If something should happen to you during your day - however trivial - and you thought no one was watching... trust me, they were!

They called me God
A comical story of a man called God who stranded five million years ago on our Earth. His life became an endless task of tweaking the genomes of great apes to create a race in his image. Exhausted in our Stone-Age, using cryo-sleep to refresh, he overslept and woke up recently in Wiltshire England to a new world. An epic tale told in 30000 words and 600 images.5-star review by author Jamie Michele.They Called Me God is a book that I went into having no idea what it would be and walked away with a massive smile on my face.The classic comic book style is a brilliant format. The artwork is bold, and the way Simonar creates an entire arc and storyline in this media style is a testament to his immense skill as a writer and, more importantly, a true creative. There is intelligent wit and satire, but there is also a real, fundamental basis of influence and survival, and the collision of old knowledge, new customs, and tolerance for both. God is, as one would expect, subject to exploitation, even indirectly. The highlight for me is the invocation of Emma Stone. Overall, this is an original and thoughtful work of art that absolutely promises readers a distinctive reading and visual experience, and I would give it a whole bucket of stars if I could. Very highly recommended.
