her viewers cope with everything from backstabbing girlfriends and deadbeat boyfriends to
crazy mothers-in-law and jealous coworkers. Fans trust Wendy, even when her advice is
tough to hear. She's earned her reputation as "the friend in your head."

Wendy she goes deeper, answering questions sourced from viewers across the country. No
question is off-limits and no situation is too outrageous for her to take on. Wendy shoots
straight from those womanly hips of hers to help you manage all the crazy that comes into
your life— keepin' it real by drawing on the personal experiences that have shaped her
unique perspective. Wendy reveals never-before shared intimate secrets about struggling
with weight, navigating rough times in her marriage, and learning to accept herself. Along
with the usual girlfriend, boyfriend, and family drama, Wendy straight-talks on topics
like style, body image, and office etiquette, and of course she tackles your wildest sex
questions. If you've dealt with it, Wendy has a solution for it

The girl who wouldn’t die, hunting a killer who shouldn’t exist…
A terrifying and original serial-killer thriller from award-winning author, Lauren Beukes.
“It’s not my fault. It’s yours. You shouldn’t shine. You shouldn’t make me do this.”
Chicago 1931. Harper Curtis, a violent drifter, stumbles on a house with a secret as shocking as his own twisted nature – it opens onto other times. He uses it to stalk his carefully chosen 'shining girls' through the decades – and cut the spark out of them.
He’s the perfect killer. Unstoppable. Untraceable. He thinks…
Chicago, 1992. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Tell that to Kirby Mazrachi, whose life was shattered after a brutal attempt to murder her. Still struggling to find her attacker, her only ally is Dan, an ex-homicide reporter who covered her case and now might be falling in love with her.
As Kirby investigates, she finds the other girls – the ones who didn’t make it. The evidence is … impossible. But for a girl who should be dead, impossible doesn’t mean it didn’t happen…

Lewis, David
The truth is that most of our mental activity actually happens below the level of conscious thought.....
The truth is that most of our mental activity actually happens below the level of conscious thought. In this groundbreaking book, Dr David Lewis, director of the cutting-edge research agency Mindlab International, explores this incredible phenomenon. Delving into the mysteries of the 'zombie brain' that each of us possesses, he demonstrates how unconscious neurological processes underpin every aspect of our lives, from whether or not we find someone sexually attractive to how we resist (or give in to) temptation. In the process he shows how finger length is a reliable predictor of risk-taking behaviour, how seeing the logos of fast food chains can make you more impatient, and how holding a warm drink makes you find strangers more likeable.
Above all, he reveals the practical applications of this emerging field of research, giving us insights into such diverse areas as child development, anti-social activities like rioting, successful dieting, and even the ways that supermarkets make us spend more. We may not be conscious of our impulses but it is clear that we can no longer afford to be ignorant of them.
