Book Description
From the Author of "Middle Finger Happiness! (work hard. live well. don't f*ck with me}"! Sharon Lee Zapata brings you It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head Sharon whips out her intellectual smartass kung fu as a hard-working business owner, podcaster, artist, and mom who juggles laundry, house-cleaning, and cheerfully picks up dog sh*t when taking her rescue dogs for a walk... With her hamster-wheel energy, she's been known to create a business on a cocktail napkin after drinking 3 margaritas, write 3 new books to inspire others with her positive, disruptive, slightly irregular strategies on how to stop procrastinating and smack down the bull-shit in your life. "It's a New Day, Don't Be a ShitHead is sprinkled with Sharon's moxie-thoughts and her smarty-pants intellectual sarcasm. She's been known to charm the pants off people... actually, she doesn't want your pants; she wants you to open this book up! Read. Laugh. Learn. Take Action. #RinseAndRepeat It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head, was also influenced by the request of her readers and social media following. So she gathered her collection of home-spun quotes and memes, real talk no bullshit experiences and put them into this little beasty book. It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head, is like using map-quest to guide you through your thick-head of being overwhelmed and #getshitdone. This book can also be used when faced with angry moms in the car-pool lane, f*ck nugget family members, people you meet who are idiots, and other trouble maker shituations [no typo]. Yeah, it's all in here...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • FORBES • BOOKPAGE • NEW YORK POST • WIRED “I have not been as profoundly moved by a book in years.” —Jodi Picoult Even after she left home for Hollywood, Emmy-nominated TV writer Bess Kalb saved every voicemail her grandmother Bobby Bell ever left her. Bobby was a force—irrepressible, glamorous, unapologetically opinionated. Bobby doted on Bess; Bess adored Bobby. Then, at ninety, Bobby died. But in this debut memoir, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as passionate as it ever was in life. Recounting both family lore and family secrets, Bobby brings us four generations of indomitable women and the men who loved them. There’s Bobby’s mother, who traveled solo from Belarus to America in the 1880s to escape the pogroms, and Bess’s mother, a 1970s rebel who always fought against convention. But it was Bobby and Bess who always had the most powerful bond: Bobby her granddaughter’s fiercest supporter, giving Bess unequivocal love, even if sometimes of the toughest kind. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me marks the creation of a totally new, virtuosic form of memoir: a reconstruction of a beloved grandmother’s words and wisdom to tell her family’s story with equal parts poignancy and hilarity.

Book Description
Joe Keithley, aka Joey Shithead, founded legendary punk pioneers D.O.A. in 1978. Punk kings who spread counterculture around the world, they've been cited as influences by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Rancid, and The Offspring, and have toured with The Clash, The Ramones, The Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Nirvana, PiL, Minor Threat, and others, and are the subject of two tribute albums. But punk is more than a style of music: it's a political act, and D.O.A. have always had a social conscience, having performed in support of Greenpeace, women's rape/crisis centres, prisoner rights, and anti-nuke and anti-globalization organizations. Twenty-five years later D.O.A. can claim sales of more than 500,000 copies of their eleven albums and tours in thirty different countries, and they are still going strong. I, Shithead is Joe's recollections of a life in punk, starting with a bunch of kids in Burnaby transfixed with the burgeoning punk movement, and traversing a generation disillusioned with the status quo: stories of riots, drinking, travelling, playing, and conquering all manner of obstacles through sheer determination. And through it all, Joe reveals that the famous D.O.A. slogan, talk - action -0 is, for him, more than a soundbyte. With an introduction by music producer Jack Rabid, publisher of seminal New York music magazine Big Takeover.
