Hilarious, candid, and full of shenanigans, YouTube sensation Mamrie Hart—the New York Times bestselling author ofYou Deserve a Drink—is back with mor...

An enormous name in the world of YouTube celebrity for her You Deserve a Drink series, Mamrie Hart’s first book, You Deserve a Drink launched at #5 on the New York Times bestseller list. In 2016, Mamrie wrote, executive-produced, and starred in Lionsgate’s feature-length comedy Dirty 30, for which she won the Best Actress Streamy Award in 2017. She earned a coveted position on Variety’s annual list of Hollywood’s New Leaders that same year, and a spot on The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Digital Disruptor’s list tied to a title she is writing for Sony and a new IP she is developing for Reese Witherspoon’s digital arm, Hello Sunshine.
In February, Mamrie will return to the written word with her second essay collection with I’VE GOT THIS ROUND: More Tales of Debauchery, a wild, unforgettable, hilarious and honest journey through something most Millennials would prefer to avoid: adulting.
When Mamrie simultaneously enters her 30s and finds herself single for the first time since college, the world is suddenly full of possibilities. Emboldened by the cool confidence that comes with the end of one's 20s plus the newfound independence of an attachment-free lifestyle, Mamrie commits herself to living life with even more spirit, adventure, and heart than before.
Mamrie dives into new experiences at full-tilt and seeks out once-in-a-lifetime opportunities (like meeting the Dixie Chicks), bucket-list goals (like visiting the Moulin Rouge), and madcap adventures (like going anchors-away on a Backstreet Boys cruise)—all while diving back into the dating world for the first time in a decade.
In I've Got This Round, readers will find the same shameless honesty and I'll-try-anything-once spirit they loved in Hart’s New York Times bestseller You Deserve a Drink. Mamrie doubles down on her strong female friendships, her willingness to engage in shenanigans, and her inimitable candor, taking the reader along for a wild and unforgettable journey through adulting.

ALANNA MITCHELL Science journalist explores electromagnetism: the force that created the modern world…and could destroy it.

What would life look like if the electromagnetic technology of the entire earth was suddenly wiped out? No cell phones, no internet, and maybe not even basic electricity? This isn’t science fiction. Electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental physical forces in the universe, is in many ways the bedrock of modern civilization. But the Earth’s magnetic poles are primed for a switch. The magnetic North Pole will trade places with the magnetic South Pole—a phenomenon that has happened before, and is overdue to happen again. It could be the undoing of everything that has come to define 21st century life, not to mention the biology of the natural world. In THE SPINNING MAGNET: The Electromagnetic Force that Created the Modern World—and Could Destroy It, science journalist Alanna Mitchell shares an immersive global investigation of electromagnetism and what it means for our planet.
Alanna Mitchell discusses:
· How the Earth’s magnetic field came to be so important for navigation, from animal migration to human exploration of the oceans and continents…and the tricks it can play on us.
· Culture clashes: historically, accepting the concept of magnetism was fraught with contention. From Ancient Greece to modern-day Canada, Mitchell traces the challenge this concept posed to traditional beliefs.
· The practical, environmental, and human costs of a pole switch: The fallout of a pole switch will be cataclysmic. Mitchell breaks down the impact a pole switch will have on everything from the insurance industry to human healthcare to the habitable regions of our planet.
The last time the poles switched, 780,000 years ago, our species did not exist. When it happens again, the myriad species that call Earth home will have to adapt to a new reality: deadly solar and cosmic rays, the breakdown of our planet’s protective magnetic field, a loss of the internal “compass” that guides animals in their migratory patterns, and the destruction of electromagnetic technology that we rely on daily. THE SPINNING MAGNET is a compelling examination of the value of earth’s magnetic field—a force that also poses one of the least-discussed – yet most unavoidable – threats currently facing modern civilization.

Jamie Cat Callan, author of PARISIAN CHARM SCHOOL: French Secrets for Cultivating Love, Joy, and That Certain je ne sais quoi (TarcherPerigee) joined ...

In this engaging title, Cat Callan (French Women Don’t Sleep Alone) observes how our society has lost regard for charm and the joy that it contributes to our daily lives. It seems that Tinder and “Netflix and Chill” have replaced the subtle and intoxicating process of getting to know someone new; a splurge on fresh flowers for our table is deemed wasteful; and conversation on a need-to-know basis has replaced the deliciously flirtatious volleying that comes with more relaxed encounters.
Cat Callan is herself charming, and can expound on several talking points, including:
· Why French women don’t date
· How to bring charm into your home on a budget
· Why the French are not goal-oriented in their relationships
· How to go gray and stay alluring well after fifty
· How French women sustain tension and passion in long-term relationships
· 8 ways to slow down and bring charm into our lives
About THE PARISIAN CHARM SCHOOL
In an age where potential relationships are pursued with the swipe of a finger, conversations consist of emoji-filled texts, and dinner and a movie have been replaced by “Netflix and chill,” the notion of “charm” seems like a relic of a bygone era.
Yet, if we reintroduce charm into our lives – in the way we consume, in the way we socialize, and in the way we approach relationships – we can become more mindful of an element of beauty and mystery that we were previously blind to and which, in turn, makes us more alluring ourselves. In PARISIAN CHARM SCHOOL: French Secrets for Cultivating Love, Joy, and That Certain je ne sais quoi (a TarcherPerigee Hardcover; on sale January 2, 2018, ISBN 978-0-143-130963), bestselling author Jamie Cat Callan reveals how her interactions with Parisian women, and their ability to incorporate charm into seemingly all aspects of their lives, showed her how this unassuming attribute was integral to their irresistible appeal. In this engaging guide to cultivating inner beauty, mystique and je ne sais quoi, Callan shows readers:
· The allure of French self-reliance
· Why French women prefer dinner parties to dating
· The art of French flirtation
· How French women sustain tension and passion in long-term relationships
Filled with advice and insights from Parisian women, PARISIAN CHARM SCHOOL reveals how we can cultivate charm in all aspects of our lives so that we can embrace more love, passion, and joy in our relationships with others and with ourselves.
