You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It
***The INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!***From the New York Times bestselling author and breakout star of The Traitors comes the first memoir from beloved actress, Housewife, and pop culture icon, Lisa Rinna. From her career, to her personal life, she's spilling ALL the tea! If she’s experienced it... you better believe she’s gonna talk about it!“This mouth has gotten me in so much trouble.” —Lisa RinnaFor decades, Lisa Rinna has been captivating audiences—whether as a soap opera icon, reality TV powerhouse, fearless social media provocateur or slaying in haute couture down the catwalks of Paris. But even though she’s always said it like she means it, there’s still so much more to the woman whose lips launched a thousand memes. In You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, Lisa peels back the curtain on her rollercoaster career and her unapologetic approach to life, dishing on the highs, the lows, and the “did-she-really-just-say-that?” moments that made her a household name. Yes, she’s spilling all the tea from the soundstages of Days of Our Lives to the drama of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she’s also opening up about what it means to grow older in an industry obsessed with youth, the lessons she’s learned about reinvention, parenting a daughter with a chronic illness, keeping her well-documented marriage alive and healthy, and being forced to grieve in public after the loss of her mother and beloved Beverly Hills fan favorite, Lois. Bold, brash, refreshingly honest, and told with her signature wit and candor, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It is the story of a woman who understands that you go the furthest by playing by your own rules. It’s the story of a woman who realizes aging is just a chance at a new chapter. It’s the story of a Hollywood icon who refuses to let the world script her story for her. And she’s owning every bit of it, baby!

Love Is A Toad
<p><i>'Can you make eye contact with a slug? I couldn't be sure, but it definitely felt like their betentacled and beady eyes locked with mine for a moment. . . Eye-to-eye, organism to organism, it felt like we were looking at each other.'</i><br><br>Lucy Lapwing grew up 'playing out'. A woodlouse-collecting, snail-racing, tree-climbing, muddy-footed child, she spent more time playing outside than in. But whilst Lucy was always intrigued by the natural world, it wasn't until later in life when her true love of nature began; the thrum, beauty and weirdness of the world around her filling her with an almost indescribable joy.<br><br>But with this new-found love and intense appreciation came other feelings: worry, anger, grief. For every curlew she spotted, she noticed a distinct quietening of the hedgerows; for every beautiful old tree, there would also exist destruction. As Lucy wrangled over this thorny contradiction, her love for nature jostling against her grief at its plight, she decided to unpick these emotions, if not to heal our relationship with nature, then at least to understand it better.<br><br> In her book, <i>Love Is A Toad</i>, Lucy takes to the fields, moors and footpaths of the UK with her fellow nature enthusiasts and digs down into the emotions which nature inspires.

At once a celebration and a rallying cry, <i>Love Is A Toad</i> prods and pokes at our connection to the world, exploring its complexity in all its muddy, messy and beautiful glory.</p>
