Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sometimes, you are hurt and shaken. And there is no one around to hold your hand. But then, you find courage in words. Words that don't complain when your tears leave them moist. Words that keep your dark secrets safe even when you hide them in brackets. Words that understand that sometimes you are left with just no choice. Words that reflect the image of a heart that has forgotten how to smile. Because when no one else listens, words listen. Talk to them, often. Instagram is for the good, the pretty stuff, for the lovely images we take of ourselves and of the lovely meals we have. But what about the not-so-pretty moments, the not-so-#instaworthy feelings? After all, we do live through days and nights that are neither pure black, nor dark white, and neither all that grey. Can we change the narrative? Yes, and we should. As we battle heartbreaks, breakdowns, and challenges — can we start an open conversation on how we are feeling, truly? #icouldhavebeenaninstapost is a book and an invitation to scroll through short shorts where we express our 'unpretty’' moments in an OTT Insta-friendly manner and find strength thereby. It’s the answer to the question — how does one pick up the shards each day and piece them together? It’s for the one who needs to hear these words — you are not alone. It’s for the one who needs a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a reminder to check on oneself, or a pat to acknowledge the magic of self. It’s for the one who was mistold that it’s not okay to share pain, cry, and scream. It’s for the one who knows that sometimes a bunch of right words is the only shield one needs. It’s for the one who took a hashtag and turned it into a reminder, a victory, a self-care ritual. The emotions in the book, after all, too could have been #instaposts."

Download or read book Pet Pet Slap written by Andrew Battershill and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocky meets Elmore Leonard meets Miranda July as Pillow Wilson, a past-his-prime boxer, trains for his last title shot. Shenanigans ensue. Boxer ‘Pillow Fist’ Pete Wilson should be preparing for his big comeback fight. But, having recently undergone an ethical awakening, the new vegan is busy trying to find humane new homes for his menagerie of exotic pets (including Jersey Joe the sloth and Rigoberto the shark). His roommate, Sherlock Holmes, who faked his own death by waterfall, is now Pillow’s in-house doping expert. Pillow just can’t get motivated to train, and he’s further distracted from his push-ups when both his car and Rigoberto mysteriously disappear. Luckily, Sherlock is a master of deduction. What follows is part underdog sports story, part work of neozoological surrealism, and part existential mystery novel. "Reckless, desperate, and achingly human, Battershill remains funnier than anyone else on your shelf." – Andrew F. Sullivan, author of The Marigold "The adventures of Battershill’s returning protagonist Pillow are witty and occasionally absurd, but the story never trips on ironies. Battershill twines the humanity of pulp noir with the unsettling play of surrealism to build a world in which pet sloths, Sherlock Holmes, and skilled drug pushers all seem to have found their ideal home." – Naben Ruthnum, author of A Hero of Our Time "Pillow Wilson is one of my favourite characters in CanLit, and he is in fine form in Pet, Pet, Slap, a deeply funny, inventive, bizarre, heartbreaker of a book. Andrew Battershill not only writes with that magical alchemy of humour and pathos that most writers only wish they could pull off, but he somehow also balances surrealism and profound humanity in a way I’m sure I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to figure out. I haven’t had this much fun reading in a long, long time." – Amy Jones, author of Pebble & Dove

Book excerpt: Step into the glittering and deceitful world of early 19th-century English society in this sprawling novel. Following the lives of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, the two women navigate their way through a society obsessed with wealth, status, and social climbing. Becky, ambitious and resourceful, stops at nothing to ascend the social ladder, while Amelia, gentle and naive, grapples with love and loss amid the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars. William Thackeray's sharp wit and keen observations lay bare the hypocrisies and moral ambiguities of his characters, from aristocrats to scheming social climbers. Set against the backdrop of historical events, Vanity Fair offers a panoramic view of London's high society during an era fraught with conflict. WILLIAM THACKERAY [1811-1863] was one of Victorian England’s most prominent authors. Among his most famous works are Vanity Fair [1847-1848] and The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. [1844].
