Let's Pretend This Never Happened
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Violent Weather Predictions 2000-2001
Have you noticed it? The weather is getting wilder and more dangerous. All over the world there seems to be an increase in the violence due to the elements. Is it caused by global warming or pollution? Or is it part of a natural cycle? Even if we answer these questions, we are not going to be able to solve this problem overnight. More ferocious weather is coming. Torrential storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, blizzards. Meteorology has made some advances, but is still hindered in its ability to accurately give advance warning of potential disasters. Luckily, a new science – based on an ancient body of knowledge – is proving helpful in weather prediction. This science is known as "a...
Let's Pretend This Never Happened
Every teenager wants to fit in and be just like everybody else. So imagine how hard that is when your father runs a taxidermy business out of the family home, your mother runs the student cafeteria, and your sister has just been elected high school mascot, which means she walks the halls in a giant bird costume. But as Jenny Lawson grows up, falls in love, gets engaged – in a way that is as disastrous as it is romantic – and starts a family of her own, she learns that life’s most absurd and humiliating moments, the ones we wish we could pretend had never happened, are the very same moments that make us who we are. This is an often poignant, sometimes disturbing, but always hilarious book from a writer that dares to say your deepest and strangest thoughts out loud. Like laughter at a funeral, it is both highly irreverent and impossible to stop once you’ve started . . .

Walking with Angels
Jennifer Lawson's life has been a compendium of other-worldly experiences---angel visitations, precognitive dreams, visions of distant future events, out-of-body experiences, living with a resident poltergeist, and even finding herself aboard a UFO mother ship. Her successful predictions in the 1970s and 1980s of the most destructive hurricanes and tropical cyclones months in advance, through the science of astrometeorology, made headlines in the U.S. and her native Australia. Rubbing elbows with many of the era's New Age celebrities, Lawson's life has been one of living in tune with the supernatural while discovering other realms.
