Home offices, workout studios, entertaining spaces, mental health sanctuaries and centres for self-care... the demands on our four walls are unprecedented. And now many more of us are renting than ever before - but that doesn't mean we can't make our homes into living environments that reflect our unique sense of style and bring joy to our everyday lives. In Your Not Forever Home, Katherine Ormerod has curated a range of projects for every room in a rented house or flat, guiding you through techniques and invaluable insights that will help create spaces tailored to your taste.

In Nobody Really Has Their Sh*t Together, illustrator star Luke John Matthew Arnold shares his no-bullshit, somewhat inspirational and very hilarious doodles. This bold little book is a beautiful gift for yourself or anyone you love, to bring a smile in tough moments. For most of us, every day comes with a new set of ‘holy shits’ and ‘what the fucks’.

Nobody Really Has Their Sh*t Together is here for you to open at any page, any time, with the comfort of knowing that whatever doodle you look at is totally cheese-free, somewhat absurd and has worked to cheer up one person (Luke). Hopefully you're number two.

"Journey to chef Junda Khoo's homeland of Malaysia and showcases the unique cuisine through 100 staple recipes from street food classics to homestyle cooking with soul. Starting with simple, budget-friendly meals to make in 15 minutes, Khoo shows us how to make all the classic Malaysian dishes from hawker and street food classics like poached, juicy Hainan chicken and crimson bowls of curry laksa, to home-style recipes, like deep-fried, curried chicken and snacky loh bak (five spice pork rolls) and more. But it's not just the classics that we discover in this book, Khoo introduces us to nourishing homecooked Malaysian dishes which aren't commonly served in eateries outside of Malaysia. Think lotus roots steeped in a pork bone broth and fried bee hoon, a smoky, umami vermicelli noodle dish. The recipes in this book are made up of dishes Khoo serves at Ho Jiak Town Hall, a hatted-venue named as one of Australia's best restaurants by Gourmet Traveler, as well as food from the streets of Malaysia and recipes Khoo makes for his children, which were passed down to him from his beloved amah (grandmother). Khoo has no culinary training, but his food has so much heart that he now owns one of the best restaurants in Australia. Ho Jiak, translating to 'good eats', is Khoo's modern interpretation of Malaysian cuisine that is steeped in tradition and full of heart."--

In his long-awaited, official autobiography, All In, Joel Selwood reveals the grit, determination, and personal sacrifice behind his AFL success at the Geelong Football Club. Joel Selwood's remarkable leadership is well-known across AFL football. Announcing his retirement at the end of the 2022 season, Selwood will not only go down in history as an icon of the game â¿ a record breaker â¿ but also as a selfless leader who supported his team through one of the clubâ¿s most successful periods in its history. After Selwood was made captain of the team in 2012, Geelong made the finals in all but one season, playing in seven preliminary finals and two Grand Finals â¿ culminating in Geelong's tenth premiership in 2022. Easier said than done. Now, for the first time, Selwood tells his story in his own words. All In relives the highs of Selwoodâ¿s proudest career moments, but also the lows battling the physical and personal challenges in his life, from his infamous knee injury and long recovery to the impact of COVID-19 on the AFL 2020 and 2021 seasons. For the first time, Selwood also describes the bravery, disappointment and celebration entering the IVF merry-go-round with his wife, Brit, to finally have their son, Joey Victor Selwood. A Geelong supporter who grew up to play his entire professional career with the Cats, Joel Selwood is a true AFL legend of our times. Â

What if true leadership is about being more yourself? Working life can feel like one long masterclass on how to fit in by fixing, hiding or suppressing parts of us that feel somehow inadequate, inconvenient or inappropriate. Over time, small acts of self-abandonment begin to take a heavy toll. It's no wonder that so many leaders feel alone, overwhelmed and exhausted. This is a book for busy, big-hearted leaders who want to feel more like themselves at work. Being True offers a practical evidence-based approach to turning down the volume on the voices in your head, and experiencing greater inner freedom. By honouring our deepest selves, we liberate our highest potential and serve the greatest good. We uplift performance, health and sustainability and co-create workplaces where people feel like they belong. It becomes possible to love who we're being, not just what we do. Discover the power of being true in an overwhelming world.
