The Year of Less In her late twenties, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy—only keeping her from meeting her goals—she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year.The Year of Less documents Cait’s life for twelve months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.The challenge became a lifeline when, in the course of the year, Cait found herself in situations that turned her life upside down. In the face of hardship, she realized why she had always turned to shopping, alcohol, and food—and what it had cost her. Unable to reach for any of her usual vices, she changed habits she’d spent years perfecting and discovered what truly mattered to her.Blending Cait’s compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you’re holding on to in your own life—and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.

In this inspirational story based on true events, Brandon, an ex-convict, takes you on a journey from his childhood dreams of being an NBA star to his choice as a teenager to be the ultimate hustler in the North Carolina streets of Chapel Town. After the unfortunate split of his parents, the allure of the drug game sets in. Determined to be able to provide for his family, Brandon quickly rises in the ranks of the drug game to selling kilos of cocaine at a very young age, all while trying to make his exit from a street hustler to a legit entrepreneur. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. After years of dodging life-ending experiences, corrupt cops, and phony friends, Brandon decides to pursue college for a career in business, but not before his life spirals out of control when he is indicted by the federal government and convicted for a non-violent federal drug conspiracy and sentenced to 188 months in federal prison. After becoming the victim of unfair and unequal punishment due to the federal government's racially biased "100/1 crack versus powder cocaine sentencing disparity," Brandon realizes that the path he had chosen was full of unknown dangers. Still, it wasn't too late to make the right turn. However, his only revenge would be success. After almost 12 years in federal prison, Brandon shares the wisdom and knowledge obtained while incarcerated that led to his immediate release from prison four years early and turned him into a motivated and successful entrepreneur upon his release. After many mistakes, failures, trials, and tribulations, Brandon escapes the allure of the drug game and street life. Through his story, based on actual events, he hopes to deter the next teenager from being another statistic in the legal system. He also gives incarcerated individuals a blueprint for properly preparing themselves for a smooth transition back to society.

'Stories that start like delicate webs and finish like unbreakable wire traps' Neil Gaiman Naomi Ishiguro's fresh, magical and delightfully speculative short story collection merges the inventiveness of David Mitchell and the fairy-tale allure of Angela Carter to form its own powerful magic. Witness what happens when a space-obsessed child conjures up a vortex in his mother's airing cupboard in Shearing Season. Watch unexpected possibilities open up in The Flat Roof when a musician makes friends with a flock of birds. Get lost in the world of The Rat Catcher where, finding himself potentially out of his depth when he is summoned to a decaying royal palace, a rat catcher is plunged into a battle for the throne of a ruined kingdom. In this stunning debut collection, the characters yearn for freedom and flight, and find their worlds transformed beyond their wildest imaginings. 'Naomi Ishiguro's crystal clear prose delights and intrigues' Sharlene Teo 'Winsomely written and engagingly quirky, these are inventive tales that favour imagination over gritty realism.' The Sunday Times 'Ishiguro's imagination is a place where the fantastical lurks in the margins as a possibility, a flavour rather than a genre' The Herald
