Love Lessons
An inspirational reframing of the bestselling classic The 5 Languages of Love, which includes all kinds of people and all kinds of love The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman has sold millions of copies since it was published in 1992. Framed around how to best communicate with your romantic partner, "What's your love language?" is such a pervasive conversation topic that it's become a common prompt on dating apps. But despite its popularity, it really hasn't kept up with the times--it's simplistic, limited, and doesn't allow room for all the beautiful complexities life has to offer. Love Lessons, written by Alise Morales and illustrated by Ana Jar矇n, reframes the familiar concept of love languages as a more fluid and flexible method of communication that we all engage with at different times, in different moods, and with different people. From romantic partners to close friends, from family to coworkers, this book shows how love languages don't have to be a one-size-fits-all approach. Existing love languages are reexamined and new ones introduced as equally powerful tools for expressing respect, admiration, and care in our most valued relationships. Morales' text is accompanied by Jar矇n's diverse artwork, showcasing illustrations that reflect the anarchy of the universal approach previously set forth by Chapman. Her maximalist, colorful drawings are indicative of the fun and freeing content that Morales has reframed to reach a more open-minded generation. Informative writing, inclusive language, and multiple-choice quizzes come together in Love Lessons to reach new heights within the community of people wanting to uncover how they give and receive love.

Read My Lips
A fabulous and fun way to learn more about yourself, your friends, and your loved ones by interpreting the lines on a lipstick print. The lines on the palm can tell a story about the past, present, and future--but, as it turns out, lips have even more to say. All it takes to learn about the details of a person's life and inner workings is a little bit of lipstick and a smooch on a piece of paper: If their kiss is rectangular, they're usually the "rock" in their friend group. People go to them for advice and stability. If their upper lip has a "cupid's bow" (a term this author coined!), this person likes to make an impression, and they may have a fiery temper! If they have white dots or small lines on their lower lip, those are called "seeds of change" and indicate that this person has an idea germinating--which means they should actualize it or regret it forever! A lipstick print is the roadmap to self-knowledge and a wonderful way to get to know others, and an unexpected way to get to know others--and maybe even a special someone.
