  Stella: Ranch Patrol is a new Dogs with a Purpose adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, W. Bruce Cameron! 
   
  Some dogs were born to lend a helping hand (or paw!) 
   
  Stella, a corgi puppy, is one of them. With her natural herding instincts and big attitude, Mateo thinks she'll be the perfect new addition to his family's ranch! 
   
  But Mateo's family isn't convinced. They wanted a big, tough livestock guardian dog, not this tiny creature! She's more likely to become lunch for the coyotes than to help run the ranch. And it doesn't matter anyway; Mateo's father, Werner, has decided to sell the ranch. 
   
  To save their home, Stella and Mateo must prove that even the smallest and youngest members of a family can make the biggest difference. Can they rise to the challenge? 
   
  Stella: Ranch Patrol is another fun, heartwarming Dogs with a Purpose adventure that will introduce young readers to the hard work of herding dogs.

  Hieroglyphs - The Language and...

  The origins of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt trace back to the dawn of Egyptian civilization, around 3100 BCE. Considered one of the oldest writing systems in human history, hieroglyphs emerged as a complex script combining logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements. The early development of this script was intricately linked to the formation of a centralized state, where the need for recording and communication became essential. 
  The earliest evidence of hieroglyphic writing appears on pottery, labels, and stone artifacts from the pre-dynastic period. These rudimentary symbols gradually evolved into more structured and standardized forms during the Early Dynastic period. As Egypt unified under a single ruler, the writing system became an essential tool for administration, religious practices, and the consolidation of royal authority. Early inscriptions on monuments and ceremonial palettes reveal a combination of pictorial symbols and phonetic elements, reflecting both artistic expression and linguistic utility. 
  Throughout the Old Kingdom, hieroglyphs developed significantly in both style and function. They became integral to monumental inscriptions, recording achievements of pharaohs and religious texts. The Pyramid Texts, found within the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, are among the oldest religious texts written in hieroglyphs. These inscriptions aimed to ensure the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife, indicating that the script held profound religious and cultural significance.

  A heartfelt and incredibly funny memoir about love, life and fortune. 
   
  Thirteen years ago, a shopfront psychic told me my vagina was cursed. She was a scam artist, but she was also right. The stories in this book follow the different forms this curse has taken and how it foiled me as I travelled the world looking for love.?They?are personal and very specific stories about sex, dating, marriage and motherhood.??And about how sometimes the things that alter our paths lead us to the right place.? 
   
  What happens when a shopfront psychic tells Lally Katz her vagina is cursed? Is it a terrible scam or has a truth been spoken? 
   
  In My Cursed Vagina Lally shares the many forms this hex takes as she travels the world looking for love, compulsively writing down everything as she goes. These are hilarious and heartbreaking stories of disastrous dates, hopeful sex, straight-talking friendships, a surprise marriage, the adventure of motherhood and the strange gifts of illness, by a woman who embraces everything life has to offer. Importantly, this is a story about how sometimes the unexpected leads us to the place we should land. 
   
  'In this memoir, Lally takes the reader on a drunken, dare-devil ride into the depths of dramaturgy and disease. A poetic, no-nonsense reflection on a full creative life that may have only just begun, Lally's first book made me want to go back to whom I used to be. If you love TMI then this book is for you.' BRENDAN COWELL 
   
  'This is gold. There is only one Lally Katz.' CLAUDIA KARVAN 
   
  'Katz's book is completely addictive and mystical, just like her perspective on the world ... and her vagina.' YAEL STONE 
   
  'I only wish every book gave me as much pleasure as this one. Lally Katz is an original—the queen of TMI—and My Cursed Vagina is hilarious, fearless, and perfectly, absurdly candid. Is it wrong to hope for more drama in her life, just so she'll write a sequel?' STEVE TOLTZ

  "Some dogs, like some people, just can't abide a quiet life," writes the author of the national bestseller, The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. 
   
   
   
  Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of people came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. 
   
   
    
  Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. 
   
   
    
  Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving—and so will listeners.
