Summary

People often chose a dog that resembles themselves, consciously or unconsciously.  Even scientific experiments have proved it. For example, you rarely find a Hell's Angel with a bichon frisé, or a sweet little old lady with a bulldog. A gentle quiet academic wouldn't normally chose a boisterous border collie, nor would an energetic teenager chose a basset hound.

Our beloved dogs are rather like our choice of car or the clothes we wear. The science writer David Robson says, 'The canine mini-me reveals a narcissistic tendency in us all.'

In these humorous, colourful illustrations of doppelgänger dogs, artist John Holder has depicted a superb, visually entertaining collection of dogs and their owners in all their lookalike glory. A treat for dog owners everywhere.

    The Secret of Sapphire Springs: A Cozy Mystery of Healing Waters and Hidden Crimes 🌿💎 
    In the peaceful town known for its restorative waters, the historic Sapphire Springs spa has always been a place of healing—until its owner is found dead in the very mineral pools that were meant to soothe. 
    Rose, the spa's dedicated herbalist and manager, finds her tranquil world shattered. To clear her name and find justice, she must dive deep into the town's past, where long-buried secrets are as layered as the geological strata that feed the springs. Each clue she uncovers—a hidden letter, a strange reaction from a local, an old legend about the water's true power—brings her closer to a dangerous truth. 
    But in a town where everyone has something to hide, Rose learns that some secrets are buried for a reason. The healing waters of Sapphire Springs can reveal the past, but they can also conceal a killer who is still very much present.

    Leo Larsson is a change-averse software developer with a forgettable presence and a life as bland and dry as Swedish crisp bread. 
    Leo has three goals: keep a low profile, avoid customer support at all costs, and deal with an obsessed dentist with a curious and possibly abnormal fascination with Leo's teeth. 
    Unfortunately, David, the spandex wearing know-it-all, mandates that everybody in the company, except architects, must provide customer support services. 
    The unambitious Leo decides that if climbing the corporate ladder means avoiding daily human interaction, it's time to scale. If only Leo wasn't such a lazy developer with a plow-shaped smile. 
    Turns out, being lazy is hard work.

    "For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature . . ." —The New York Times 
     
     
     
    Beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal, at ninety-five years old, is a national treasure. Working at the height of her powers, in this story collection she turns her gimlet eye and compassionate humor on aging and life in the slow lane. 
     
     
     
    From the master of the short short comes a collection of sixteen new stories featuring old friends who have loved and lunched together for over forty years. These erudite, sharp-minded nonagenarians offer startling insights into friendship, family and aging. 
     
     
     
    Can the group organize a visit to one of their number in her new, and detested, assisted living situation? Is this a fabulous party with old friends, or a funeral reception? And does who was sleeping with whom, way back when, still matter? 
     
     
     
    In story after story, Segal's voice is always hilarious and urbane, heartbreaking and profound, keen and utterly unsentimental, as she tackles aging's affronts.

    Journey through the dusty plains of Texas and the rugged mountains of Colorado in author Jim Duke’s debut, DANCES WITH DONKEYS: The Memoir of a Half-Assed Cowboy—the often hilarious, occasionally poignant, sometimes hair-raising, and always entertaining tales of a man who dropped out of high school and took off for Texas to become a cowboy.   In this captivating memoir, Duke recounts his adventures and ass-inine misadventures with mules, donkeys and horses as he introduces readers to the complexity and variety of personalities among these intelligent creatures. Through prose and poetry, he shows the deep bond that can form between humans and equines.     Whether you're a fan of cowboy culture or just love a good memoir, DANCES WITH DONKEYS is reminiscent of cowboy poet laureate Baxter Black with a twist in the saddle. You'll laugh your "ass" off and come away with a whole new understanding of why little boys (and girls) grow up dreaming of being cowboys. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the American West.
