  Lyndsay Rush

  This program is read by the author.The debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy.At long last, a book of poetry for people who didn’t even know they liked poetry. And they’re in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didn’t know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, and—against all odds—wisdom.With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "It’s Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rush’s debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experience—from questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"—and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsay’s work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit.With over 140 convention-bending poems—most of which are never-before-seen—this book is quite literally A Bit Much.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Venus is a Man's World

  Discover William Tenn's brilliantly satirical science fiction classic 'Venus Is a Man's World,' where gender roles are hilariously reversed. In this thought-provoking tale, Earth's male population has been decimated by war, creating a society where men are rare, pampered commodities and women hold all positions of power. When young Elspeth Marriner travels to Venus—a planet colonized exclusively by men fleeing female domination—she experiences culture shock of cosmic proportions. Tenn's biting wit and social commentary shine in this prescient exploration of gender politics that remains surprisingly relevant decades after its 1951 publication. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction that challenges societal norms while delivering sharp humor and unforgettable characters.

  If you’re going to adopt a philosophy to live by, make it one that gets your heart pumping and unleashes your spirit of adventure!Married Men Make the Best Lovers is a classic, smart, and sassy advice book from the 1960s, the heyday of the sexual revolution. As one of the most outspoken leaders of the movement, Ruth Dickson unleashes a wicked mind, a razor-edged wit, and the freewheeling attitude that made her one of the most popular writers of the day. After years of personal research, she offers pointed advice on becoming a happy and successful Other Woman, covering everything from the selection, capture, and care of a married lover to his ultimate release. She leaves no stone unturned, discussing every aspect of the affair, up to and including the problematic Wife. Wrapping things up with an informative Q&A, Married Men Make the Best Lovers is a must-read for any woman who treasures both her single status and the enjoyment of a rich, fulfilling sex life. And for those ladies (and gentlemen) who seek further enrichment, Dickson went on to author the definitive non-marriage manual, Now That You’ve Got Me Here, What Are We Going to Do? Sexier than Helen Gurley Brown, wittier than Xaviera Hollander, Ruth Dickson tells the truth, makes you laugh, gives you innovative ideas and thoughtful advice on how to navigate the tricky waters of true freedom of choice. Other Woman status may not be for everybody but it’s difficult to disregard Dickson's cleverly persuasive argument in defense of this provocative lifestyle.

  From the author of The Girl in the Video and House of Bad Memories comes a dark comedy of errors and toilet humour.  
  Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster. 
  But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an ‘I was on Naked Attraction’ t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks. 
  Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates. 
  The two flee to Norman’s holiday home but there’s a local serial killer on the loose, something messed up is happening next door, and Norman is becoming uncomfortably clingy. 
  Can Wentworth evade the criminal mob, shake off Norman’s advances, and uncover his neighbour’s secrets before he falls victim to the approaching serial killer? 
  Daddy’s Boy is Shameless meets Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen with the incompetence of The Hangover.
