Winston covers a wide range of topics documenting what feel like stereotypical bisexual experiences, from fumbling through a first queer sexual encounter, to serving as a unicorn in a threesome. This is such an easy read - the pages just slipped through my fingers with ease as I eagerly turned each page - I read it all in a few hours. I connected to so much and felt so seen throughout this book even as each essay considered a new issue: desirability, consent, dating app culture, gender, girl crushes, etc.

It's a cautionary tale, typical of stories aimed at young children, yet Hargreaves subverts the form by misinterpreting the moral of the tale. By this point I knew for certain that I needed to label my sexuality—if I didn't explicitly name my queerness, it seemed too slippery, like a bar of soap that would fly out of my hands. There’s plenty to love and relate to in Greedy: from the form to the content, Winston engages several important conversations on not only bisexuality, but on desire and belonging as a whole.In that moment you must see the future, because somehow you know that this word—their name—will be important. Greedy is an essay collection that covers a lot of ground, clocking in at over 300 pages, and I found myself asking, is it trying to cover too much?

However he is not pilloried by the other Mr Men (although some cruelty takes place in other stories), and there is no-one to curb his habits. I had hoped for a book with a more sophisticated take on being bi - how we may code switch depending on the relationship, how we are viewed by others when we don’t stick to one “box/label,” how our sense of identity might morph over time… and this is decidedly not that. Illus by Peter Forster Foreword by Compton MacKenzie Brian Hill has made a most engaging and often startling selection of occasions, menus and recipies from fact and fiction (from dust jacket flap) Vg in tattered dust jacket with small piece missing from front.The Princess And The (Greedy) Pea is a book reminiscent of the children’s classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar… a particularly whimsical book, turning the classic fairy tale on its head. There is potential for children with body image issues to interpret this book as greedy being the same thing as being "fat", which is not true. I'm currently sitting on a ferry making the crossing between Perth and Rottnest Island, having just paid a ridiculous amount of money for the tickets (but considering that it is the only ferry that makes the crossing, a part of me is not surprised). Greedy he'd decided to go for a walk after breakfast to build up an appetite for lunch, so he was mindful of he's weight. The only problem is that his eyes are bigger than he's belly and that got him into a whole load of trouble!

From the Industrial Revolution to the internet, capitalism has been a great engine of human progress.

The Mr Men and Little Miss have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics. While I enjoyed some of Winston’s stories and her refreshing honesty around her own ignorance (about, well, seemingly everything), I found the description and content of the book to be in direct conflict. I liked the initial direction that this book took, though the concluding moral was a bit disconnected, though funny, nevertheless.

Absolutely recommend this to anyone who struggles with imposter syndrome and feeling like they’re “not queer enough”… this book will make you feel less alone. The Good, the Bad and the Greedy explains clearly, with humour and in an easily readable form, how financial markets work, how they affect us all and how from time to time a few greedy undesirables find ways of misleading the public and swindling them. Pea’s expressions are splendid as he relishes every morsel of the meal; so too are those of the royal moggy and the princess. Honest and hilarious, You Do You shares Charlotte's real-life experiences and the lessons she's learnt along the way to inspire you to begin your own journey of self-love, confidence and help you build the life you truly deserve. The symbolism inherent in the entire text created personifications of biblical sins, so may be a bit deep for some readers.Pay in 4 is a form of credit, so consider whether you can afford the repayments as use of the product may impact your credit score. As they state in the beginning of their memoir, if you find yourself thinking that you should be reading the works of BIPOC queer voices and other voices of color, you certainly should read those instead. Moreso, it isn't necessarily the rich that end up losing money, though in a sense the poor never really had much to begin with. His diet is heavily skewed toward carbohydrates such as breads and cereals - foods that an endurance athlete might favour.
