Both hailed and criticized for its no-holds-barred transparency, Drunk Mom was--and continues to be--refreshing and revelatory in its gritty exploration of addiction and relapse in the context of new parenthood, specifically from the experience of a woman. But what happens after the last page is turned, after the "happy ending" of an addiction the world assumes is safely in the rearview? When Bydlowska relapses after the success of her book, her overwhelming sense is one of shame. She struggles to reconcile the knowledge that she's helped bring comfort and hope to countless readers with her own frustration and mounting fear that the truth will only let others down. In prose that is by turns harsh and beautiful, tender and devastating, she writes about her ensuing spiral into alcoholism--and the climb back up and out. Unshaming is a raw, unsparing navigation of the intricacies of shame. With the same generosity and grim humour that made Drunk Mom such a standout, Bydlowska uses her own story as a vehicle to interrogate and challenge the narrative surrounding addiction, exploring the ways in which the conversation has both evolved and stayed the same over the last decade. Told with breathtaking narrative immediacy, Unshaming transcends the typical self-help memoir and punches through every expectation about what the perfect woman, mother, and writer in recovery should look like."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C577159</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C577159</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bydlowska, Jowita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/577159195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Recovery, Relapse, and What Comes After</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771020674/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!]]></title><description><![CDATA["Global icon Liza Minnelli shares her inspiring story: stepping out from the long shadow of a mega-star mother and legendary film director father, fighting a lifetime battle with Substance Abuse Disorder, and emerging from it all to become a once-in-a-lifetime artist.

In the raw, untamed wilds of Alaska -- where the wind howls, predators hunt, and the sun disappears for months -- only a rare few figure out how to survive. Sue Aikens, the breakout star of National Geographic's long-running TV show Life Below Zero, is one of them. At her remote outpost 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, she weathers more than just brutal winters and hungry bears. Sue battles isolation, injury, and the ghosts of a turbulent past, forging a life in a place most people wouldn't last a day. Left to fend for herself as a child, Sue's fight to survive began long before she ever set foot in Alaska. In North of Ordinary, she tells the unforgettable story of abandonment, grit, and fierce independence -- from navigating deadly storms and surviving a horrific bear attack to learning how to build a life, a home, and a sense of self where most would see only desolation. With her trademark wit, fearless honesty, and an indomitable spirit, Sue proves that the toughest terrain isn't always on the map. It's the one we conquer inside. Unflinching and inspiring, North of Ordinary is a memoir of resilience, reinvention, and the extraordinary power of choosing your own way through the world"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C580007</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C580007</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aikens, Sue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/580007195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How One Woman Left It All Behind for Wilderness and Wonder in Alaska&apos;s Frozen Frontier</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781464242564/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farther]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the bestselling author of Thirst and Mud, Rocks, Blazes, this compelling memoir chronicles Heather Anderson's ambitious journey to thru-hike America's Triple Crown -- the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails -- in a single calendar year. Between 2003 and 2017, Anderson hiked more than 20,000 miles, twice completing each of the nation's three longest trails and setting speed records along the way. But records can be broken -- so Anderson set out to accomplish something even more audacious: becoming the first woman to hike what's known as a Calendar Year Triple Crown. Farther covers Anderson's gritty and challenging effort across nearly 8,000 miles of backcountry, navigating physical hardship and mental resilience. Juggling logistics and weather, as well as emotional upheaval in her personal relationships, Anderson examines themes of grief, identity, and perseverance with clarity and vulnerability. As months of feral solitude and struggle unfold, Anderson seeks meaning through motion -- how walking forward can help us find our way back to ourselves.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C575251</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C575251</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anderson, Heather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/575251195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Eight Months on America&apos;s Triple Crown Trails</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781680518146/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quand j'avais huit ans]]></title><description><![CDATA[Curieuse, entêtée et bien décidée à apprendre à lire comme sa sœur aînée, Olemaun Pokiak supplie ses parents de l'envoyer à l'école des Blancs, et ce, en dépit des réticences de son père.

But despite claims that Elizabeth Bathory tortured and killed as many as 650 girls, some have wondered if the Countess was herself a victim of one of the most successful disinformation campaigns known to history. So, was Elizabeth Bathory a monster, a victim, or a bit of both?

For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from County Cork, Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later, Newsom would be elected as mayor, running on the values instilled in him by his family history: that California's open arms must continue to extend to each new generation. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. Born in San Francisco, his parents divorced at a young age, and his childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into San Francisco society, a world of wealth and connections. The dissonance was frustrating, and made all the more difficult because of undiagnosed dyslexia, but the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California, not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician and have pushed him to outpace the nation on myriad cutting-edge social issues that have since entered the mainstream. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, more than ten years before the Supreme Court made such unions legal. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety, and worked to preserve the California Dream for his constituents. Elected as governor on the eve of unprecedented wildfires and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here for the first time, he reflects on the long personal journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America. Filled with intimate family history and written with candor and remarkable personal insight, here is a deeply resilient California story of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics. penguinrandomhouse.com.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C580630</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C580630</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Newsom, Gavin Christopher]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/580630195</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Discovery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217077595/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cronkite Remembers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Walter Cronkite, using archival news footage and revealing interviews, reminisces about his career in journalism covering major events in recent history.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C587307</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C587307</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/587307195</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle>A Remarkable Century</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780741126726/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=011301641359</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ain't Nobody's Fool]]></title><description><![CDATA["From her impoverished childhood in the Smoky Mountains to international stardom, Dolly Parton has exceeded everyone's expectations but her own.

Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes us beyond the headlines in Finding My Way -- a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humor, and tenderness. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect -- they're human. In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative -- while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny -- and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C582941</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C582941</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yousafzai, Malala]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/582941195</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798891647671/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Auston Matthews]]></title><description><![CDATA[Pleins feux sur Auston Matthews, supervedette de la LNH! Pour Auston Matthews, qui est né à San Ramon, en Californie, et qui a grandi à Scottsdale, en Arizona, le hockey aurait pu sembler être un choix de carrière peu probable. Mais il est tombé amoureux de ce sport dès son plus jeune âge, et son talent naturel s’est rapidement révélé. Après avoir participé au programme de développement de l’équipe nationale de hockey des États-Unis et joué une seule saison dans la première ligue professionnelle suisse, Auston a été repêché en première position par les Maple Leafs de Toronto et a fait ses débuts dans la LNH peu après son 19e anniversaire. Au cours des neuf saisons qu’il a jouées dans la LNH jusqu’à présent, Auston a accumulé les records, les prix et les récompenses, en particulier pour sa capacité à marquer des buts, beaucoup de buts!

Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favorite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married ... with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career. In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS. She'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully. You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius. In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say.""-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C579395</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C579395</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Applegate, Christina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepageavrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/579395195</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316601665/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taylor Swift From the Beginning]]></title><description><![CDATA["It all started on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania-right?
