    📏 Custom dressmaker and tailoring expert Tilly Tape is preparing for the annual Fashion Gala when the event's head judge—a notorious perfectionist with exacting standards—is found dead in her studio, strangled with a vintage measuring tape from her own collection. The police suspect a crime of passion, but Tilly notices the tape's measurements have been deliberately altered and the victim's critique notes contain a coded pattern in the margin measurements. With her dressmaking business under suspicion and the fashion community in turmoil, Tilly must measure twice and cut once through this tangled investigation. Assisted by her tailoring apprentices and the handsome metrology expert analyzing precision tools, Tilly uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit measuring tools, manipulated garment patterns, and a plot to sabotage custom clothing businesses. From suspicious calibration errors that reveal intentional tampering to pattern pieces that don't match the stated measurements, every inch tells a story. But when Tilly discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging designers' measurements to ruin their reputations, she realizes the killer is protecting a fashion empire built on deception. With the gala approaching and the real saboteur still taking measurements, Tilly must align the facts before her own business gets permanently cut from the pattern.

    The English-language debut of a prize-winning Japanese author, this touching, subtly funny novel evokes the daily struggles and hopes of two women from different generations. 
     
     
     
    When her mother emigrates to China for work, twenty-year-old Chizu moves in with seventy-one-year-old Ginko, an eccentric distant relative, taking a room in her ramshackle Tokyo home, with its two resident cats and the persistent rattle of passing trains. 
     
     
     
    Living their lives in imperfect symmetry, they establish an uneasy alliance, stress tested by Chizu's flashes of youthful spite. As the four seasons pass, Chizu navigates a series of tedious part-time jobs and unsatisfying relationships, before eventually finding her feet and salvaging a fierce independence from her solitude. 
     
     
     
    A Perfect Day to Be Alone is a moving, microscopic examination of loneliness and heartbreak. With flashes of deadpan humor and a keen eye for poignant detail, Aoyama chronicles the painful process of breaking free from the moorings of youth.

    After years of putting work first, Andrea’s love life is a mess. She’s in a relationship that she knows is wrong yet can’t turn to her best friends. If she told Hannah and Rosalie her lover’s identity it would tear their friendship apart.

    Andrea, Hannah and Rosalie have been there for each other through thick and thin. Will that be enough to rely on when everything comes to a head?

    A Valentine: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.
    
    For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,
    Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
    Shall find her own sweet name, that, nestling lies
    Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
    Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure
    Divine—a talisman—an amulet
    That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure—
    The words—the syllables! Do not forget
    The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor!
    And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
