To this day she is stopped on the street and hailed as a beacon of empowerment by women who felt badly for not conforming to a narrow set of societal norms -- thin, straight, compliant. But behind the scenes, Lindy never felt like she was the self-actualized woman fans made her out to be. When she found herself in the throes of a deep depression, with her marriage and sense of self-worth hanging in the balance, she knew she needed to make a change. In Adult Braces, Lindy shares the story of her rock bottom, and of the solo cross-country road trip she took to claw her way out of it. With her trademark candor and sense of humor, she examines her post-Shrill emotional implosion, her shifting feelings about traditional marriage, and her search for her long-lost self. She also tracks the highs and lows of her journey, from eye-opening natural wonders and kitschy roadside attractions to lackluster tourist traps and campground epiphanies. The result is an engaging and laugh-out-loud narrative of becoming as Lindy transforms from a passenger into the active navigator of her own life"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5453316</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5453316</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[West, Lindy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5453316192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Driving Myself Sane</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306831836/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just Jokes]]></title><description><![CDATA[Giggle and guffaw for hours with more than 500 gut-busting jokes!]]></description><link>https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5018363</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5018363</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carletonplace.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5018363192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>591 1/2 Rib-tickling Riddles, Knee-slapping Knock-knocks, and Tricky Tongue Twisters for Kids!</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781426378058/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[99 Ways to Die]]></title><description><![CDATA[An illuminating, hilarious, and practical guide to 99 of the most terrifying ways to die and how to avoid them from an emergency medicine doctor.
