Inspirerande läsning om oväntad vänskap och att ta revansch på livet  

När Keira får sin bröstcancerdiagnos vill hon först inte berätta ens för sin man eller sina barn. Att ta ett kliv tillbaka från karriären känns otänkbart. Och hon har verkligen ingen lust att sitta på ett sjukhus och stirra döden i ansiktet, eller vara med i en stödgrupp för cancerpatienter. Cancer är ingen klubb för henne.

Men snart tvingas hon inse att allt är på väg att förändras och att hon inte längre kan ta sin hälsa och sitt välmående för givet. Det är då hon hittar löpningen. Stentuff och svettig löpning tillsammans med ett gäng briljanta och roliga kvinnor som allihop genomgår behandling. Ett steg i taget återerövrar Keira vad hon varit en hårsmån ifrån att förlora: sin familj, sin karriär, sitt liv.

Löparklubben för cancersystrar är en varm, humoristisk och kärleksfull roman. Perfekt läsning för dig som gillar feelgood med svärta. 

"... en rolig, vass och klargörande roman" - Lotta Olsson, DN

"Feelgood som lyckas berätta om den stora ångesten på ett sätt som är både hoppfullt och humoristiskt. Börja läs och du kommer inte att sluta." - Maria Näslund, Göteborgs-Posten

"Romanen som bevisar att det går att skriva om svåra saker med respekt, lätt hand och en hel del humor. Utan att rädas vare sig hoppet eller förtvivlan. Om vänskap mellan några kvinnor som måste hantera livet, vardagen och sin egen cancer." - M-magasin

"Det är en - hör och häpna - väldigt rolig bok. Tragisk också, så klart, men Josie Lloyd, som själv har varit i Keiras situation, har en underbar förmåga att fånga läsarens intresse med värme, klokhet, medkänsla, klarsyn och en mycket stor portion galghumor vilket gör den här feelbad/feelgood-historien till en väldigt jordnära och lustfylld läsning." - Alingsås Tidning

"... en oväntat underhållande berättelse om vänskap och kärlek i skuggan av cancer, och om hur ödmjukhet kan förenas med kampvilja. Lättläst och välgestaltat, med sympatiska karaktärer." - BTJ-häftet 19/2020, Christine Karlsson, (betyg 4/5)

"Underbar, hjärtknipande och inspirerande." - Jenny Colgan

Josie Lloyd debuterade 1997 och har skrivit femton romaner, däribland bästsäljaren Tillsammans som hon skrev med sin man Emlyn Rees.

A wildly funny novel for the GIRLS generation, exploring life for young women in the city.From the author of THE CANCER LADIES'' RUNNING CLUBIt''s not easy being a single girl in London, what with bad hair days, commitment-phobic men, and ''healthy'' evenings that end up as late-night sessions at the pub. But although she doesn''t see it herself, Charlie''s got everything going for her. She''s bright, funny, on the fast track in her advertising job - and she has just gone blonde. What''s more, Daniel the creative director can''t keep his hands off her. But Daniel''s a lot smoother than the path of love, and Charlie finds herself coping with a series of disasters, as backstabbing colleagues and best-friend crises threaten to come between them. . .

We''re going on a bar hunt.We''re going to find a cool one.The babysitter''s booked.We''re not old!Bestselling authors Emlyn Rees and Josie Lloyd also happen to be parents, so they understand the complications of organising a rare night out. In this parody of the famous children''s book, two parents set off for a night on the tiles, and encounter a series of watering holes and bars before an alarming encounter with a ''bear'' sends them running home to their children.Gillian Johnson is the author and illustrator of the successful Monster Hospital and Thora series for children. Her illustrations bring this story to life, gently parodying the original but adding an anarchic edge as the evening progresses.We''re not going on a bar hunt again!

But the teenager didn''t take just one Pringle. He took a selfie of himself pouring a whole tube of them into his mouth, before sending it to his best mate, along with the letters LOL!The bestselling authors of We''re Going on a Bar Hunt and The Very Hungover Caterpillar bring you another hilarious parody of a much-loved children''s book, this time turning the spotlight not only on modern teens, but firmly on their parents too.When the doorbell rings, just as Sophie and her Dad are sitting down for their tea, they''re half-expecting a visit from a tiger, but what slouches in through their doorway is even more curious than that... a teenager.A perfect read for anyone who remembers the original, or has ever been a teenager or is the parent of a teenager today.

''Tis the season to be jolly. But as any modern family knows, ''tis also the season to be micro-managed by your in-laws, guzzle too many sherries, fight over the TV remote, and panic about your internet shopping not arriving on time.

But if you think that''s bad, just wait until you meet the Jones family. Instead of this being their best Christmas ever, this might just be their last - especially if they don''t all pull together to help their surprise guest in his hour of need.

An uproariously funny update of the traditional Christmas Eve classic - that all the family can enjoy.

Everyone has socks. In fact, most people love socks. That said, it''s not a subject we discuss openly other than with our friends; we just take it for granted that everyone has lots of socks and has their own socksual preferences.Most of us would admit to having enjoyed a wide variety of socks. We have our favourite socks, of course, but also socks for all sorts of occasions: novelty socks, casual socks, outdoor socks, socks that are a bit racy, socks we admit to and socks that are just downright dirty.Some people are fastidious when it comes to socks, never entertaining the thought of odd socks, while others are definitely on the fifty shades of socks spectrum.Whatever kind of socks you''re in to, we hope you find that this guide stimulates your imagination and reassures you that it''s OK to love all socks.

It''s that welcoming pair of pants drying on the radiator. That half-mouldy, but perfectly gin-and-tonic-worthy lemon on display in the fruit bowl. That tin of plum tomatoes in the cupboard with a sell-by date of 1983. It''s never dusting higher than your tallest friend''s line of sight. But Shabby is more than just an attitude; it''s a quintessentially British way of life, tried and tested for generations, and founded on the Four Central Pillars of Shabbism, Messiness, Dilapidation, Clutter and Bodged Works.Being Shabby is about spending less time fussing and clearing up and getting stressed out about stuff that doesn''t really matter anyway. And more time hanging out with your family and friends. It''s a celebration of a life that is neither tidy nor empty, but rather one that is splendidly cluttered and full.Shabby - because life''s just too bloody short to waste time striving for perfection, or caring too much about what other people think about you and yours.
