'Am I a bad person? Or am I allowed to wonder "what if"?''Is this kind of desire simply something people feel but don't speak about?''What is a woman without fantasy?'More pleasure, more kink, more partners, more zest - this is desire turned all the way up.If Want sparked the fire of a quiet revolution, More gives women the fuel to let it roar. In this electrifying sequel to the landmark bestseller, Gillian Anderson invites us to leave shame and fear at the door as she dials up the heat on women's sexual fantasies and dares us to want more.This collection of intimate letters - submitted by anonymous women across the globe, curated and introduced by Gillian - dives deeper into what women everywhere think, feel and dream about in their most private moments. Spilling out of the bedroom, the letters take us to all spaces where desire resides, from the school gates to office boardrooms, kitchen counters to forest floors. Bolder and more explicit, they come from over fifty nations and women from eighteen to eighty. Nothing is off limits: there are silken ropes and stirrups, metal collars and machines, neighbours, friends, in-laws and strangers, cravings to own and be owned, people to desire and be desired by, pleasure and pain in equal measure.Joyful, unapologetic and deliciously unfiltered, More proves that the freedom for women to fantasise without restraint is as exhilarating and vital as ever.

With raw honesty and vulnerability, Rowdy Girl illuminates the realities of animal agriculture through tracing the author’s journey from a poor upbringing to life as the wife of a Texas cattle rancher. Unable to reconcile the cruel realities of her husband Tommy’s business, Renee King-Sonnen begins to question some of society’s most basic assumptions about the animals we eat and the food systems we uphold. These questions spark a profound transformation—and a determination to save the very cattle her husband’s livelihood depends on. The couple’s opposing worldviews lead to escalating conflict, pushing their marriage to the brink. Seeking support, King-Sonnen connects with online vegan communities and launches a secret Facebook diary, The Vegan Journal of a Cattle Rancher’s Wife. With a growing following, she rallies support for an ambitious plan: buy Tommy’s herd, take over the ranch, and transform it into an animal sanctuary. The suspense peaks in December 2014, when Tommy agrees to sell her the cattle for $30,000—if she can raise the funds before they’re sent to slaughter. More than a memoir, Rowdy Girl is a story of spiritual awakening and ethical transformation. It reveals the shared ground between ranchers and vegans—a commitment to compassion, tradition, and sustainability—while challenging the foundations of animal agriculture. Through her deeply personal journey, King-Sonnen invites readers to consider their own relationship with animals, the food they eat, and the possibility of living with greater compassion.
