Hardback. Zustand: Good. Page Dickey takes us on an insider's tour of twenty of the most charming gardens in America and Europe with the ideal garden companion - cats. Author Roxana Robinson's Victorian garden in upstate New York, Martha Stewart's cottage garden of perennials in Westport, Connecticut, plus noted garden authority Penelope Hobhouse's private garden retreat in the English countryside, and other well-known gardens are explored not only as fine examples of garden design, but as sanctuaries of the cats who call them home (see attachment). The author has trained her camera on an assortment of garden-loving cats - including calicos, Himalayans, Abyssinians, ocicats, Maine coon cats, and ordinary tabbies. Shown stretched out in the sun, draped languorously on a stone wall, or sprawled on the cool grass, these cats always manage to choose the most becoming flowers or foliage for background. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A new adventure every night (or day) day for a full year! Be it a new position, food for love, a special technique, sex toys, bedroom decor or an interesting way to communicate, Bricklin delivers his daily sex tip in an often humorous but explicit way. For example - based on Dr. Mary Polan's research into heightened sexual arousal brought on by the amino acid L-arginin which is abundant in walnuts, Bricklin presents a walnut dessert recipe for two. Other ideas go by titles such as Don't Try This in Yoga Class, The Incredible 24-Step B.J., Pleasure Central, The Electric Kiss, and For Valentine's Day Burn. The book's fun approach is based on the recent discovery that humans are programmed to experience heightened pleasure through surprise and it delivers with enough surprises to give new joy to sex every day of the year. There are enough spicey ideas to turn up the heat in the most staid and ho-hum relationships.…

The Eiffel Tower in miniature, a tiny silver teddy bear, or perhaps a platinum disk engraved with a date: Every charm on a bracelet has special meaning for its wearer: history on a wrist.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, Avni Doshi's Burnt Sugar is a searing literary debut novel set in India about mothers and daughters, obsession, and betrayal.   NPR Best Book of 2020   A Pen America Literary Award Finalist   "I would be lying if I say my mother's misery has never given me pleasure," says Antara, Tara's now-adult daughter.   In her youth, Tara was wild. She abandoned her marriage to join an ashram, and while Tara is busy as a partner to the ashram's spiritual leader, Baba, little Antara is cared for by an older devotee, Kali Mata, an American who came to the ashram after a devastating loss. Tara also embarks on a stint as a beggar (mostly to spite her affluent parents) and spends years chasing a disheveled, homeless artist, all with young Antara in tow. But now Tara is forgetting things, and Antara is an adult--an artist and married--and must search for a way to make peace with a past that haunts her as she confronts the task of caring for a woman who never cared for her.   Sharp as a blade and laced with caustic wit, Burnt Sugar unpicks the slippery, choking cord of memory and myth that binds mother and daughter. Is Tara's memory loss real? Are Antara's memories fair? In vivid and visceral prose, Tibor Jones South Asia Prize-winning writer Avni Doshi tells a story, at once shocking and empathetic, about love and betrayal between a mother and a daughter. A journey into shifting memories, altering identities, and the subjective nature of truth, Burnt Sugar is a stunning and unforgettable debut.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. Let's face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg's father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other manly endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father's efforts to change him. But when Greg's dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out. Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones. Publishers Weekly-1/19/2009: The third book in this genre-busting series is certain to enlarge Kinney's presence on the bestseller lists, where the previous titles have taken up residence for the past two years. Kinney's spot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons are back in full force. This time, Greg starts off on New Year's Day (he resolves to help other people improve, telling his mother, I think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly) and ends with summer vacation. As he fends off his father's attempts to make him more of a man (the threat of military school looms), Greg's hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentines expressing his true feelings (Dear James, You smell), attempting to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team's perfect season. Kinney allows himself some insider humor as well, with Greg noting the racket children's book authors have going. All you have to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns a lesson at the end of the book. Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule. Ages 8-12. (Jan.) F&P level: T.…
