Saving Face A Novel [electronic resource] : by Shah, Mansi.aut; CloudLibrary;
People love a rags-to-riches story. But they hate an imposter who lies to get ahead . . . To all those who know her, Ami Shah is the epitome of glamour. She has unapologetically leveraged her privileged upbringing as the daughter of Indian aristocrats in Singapore to build her American skincare empire, Amala—a business that’s now set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company. There’s just one problem: she’s not the real Ami Shah.  Forty years earlier, a girl named Monica Joseph is abandoned at the Gate of Hope, a Singapore orphanage attached to a convent school. Given how she comes into the word, the most her academic prowess and etiquette earns her is a job as a maid for Ami, a schoolmate from the upper-class Shah family. Working a menial job with no other opportunities while Ami applies to university and then business school causes Monica to nurse a quiet rage at the unfairness of life. Until Monica steals not only Ami’s acceptance letter from the London Business School but also Ami’s identity and starts a whole new life on the other side of the world. And miraculously, she almost pulls it off. When “Ami” is nominated for a life-changing entrepreneurial award and the media wants to learn her origin story, Monica’s carefully constructed persona and life’s work are in jeopardy. Monica knows there is only one surefire way to cover her tracks. She must return to the scene of crime, the place she vowed never to revisit: home.

Big Bad Wool [electronic resource] : by Swann, Leonie.aut; Bojang, Amy.; CloudLibrary;
In the highly anticipated follow-up to the breakout offbeat hit Three Bags Full, an enterprising flock of sheep must get to the bottom of just who—or what—is leaving a trail of grisly destruction in its wake. With one solved mystery under their wooly belts, the time has come for the sheep of Glennkill to explore Europe. Together with their new shepherdess, Rebecca, they move into their winter quarters in the shadow of a French chateau. But their new home is far from idyllic. A number of sheep from a previous flock have disappeared, and deer are dying unnatural deaths in the forest. The strange goats from the neighboring pasture have a theory: a werewolf. Could that be real, or just a fantasy? When a human falls victim, it becomes clear that even fantasies can be fatal. And the last thing the sheep want is to lose another shepherd. With the help of the goats next door, they follow the werewolf’s trail in a desperate attempt to save both themselves and Rebecca with sheep logic, courage, and woolpower. This clever, tense mystery features the ultimate amateur sleuths as they ponder curious human motives, attempt to change their fortunes by eating tarot cards, and borrow a harebrained scheme from a not-so-secret spy in an attempt to thwart the beast that’s been stalking them.

Welcome to Pawnee : stories of friendship, waffles, and Parks and Recreation / by O'Heir, Jim,1962-author.;
"For seven seasons, Leslie Knope and the Parks and Recreation gang charmed millions of viewers with their quirky antics and unwavering positivity. The sitcom continues to be a fan-favorite for streaming services today, nearly a decade after its finale. Now for the first time, Jim O'Heir, who played the lovable Jerry (or, well, Garry/Larry/Terry/Barry, depending on the episode), invites readers back to Pawnee for an exclusive look behind the scenes. Joined by some of his Parks and Rec pals, including Chris Pratt, Retta, Rob Lowe, and showrunners Greg Daniels and Mike Schur, O'Heir reveals how this "little show that could" came to be, thanks to the tireless dedication and comedic genius of Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, and the rest of the gang. As the show found its footing, the cast quickly bonded into a tight-knit family. Here O'Heir shares all his favorite unforgettable memories both on and off camera, from hilarious unscripted moments and epic dance-offs in the hair and makeup trailers, to iconic birthday parties at Rashida Jones's house and quiet bonfires in Nick Offerman's backyard. Welcome to Pawnee is O'Heir's loving tribute to Parks and Recreation, imbued with the same warmth and humor that endeared the show to millions"--

In Gad we trust : a tell-some / by Gad, Josh,1981-author.;
Josh Gad is an award-winning actor, singer, and comedian. He is known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen franchise, playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon , and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. For the first and possibly last time, Josh Gad dives into a wide array of personal topics: the lasting impact of his parents divorce; how he struggled with weight and self-image; his first big break; how everyone was sure his most successful ventures (both on the big screen and the stage) would fail; his take on fatherhood, and so much more. This trip down the rabbit hole of overly personal stories will distract readers from climate change, the downward descent of democracy in Western civilization, and the existential threat that AI poses to Drake's music with never-before-seen photos and few-to-no spelling errors. Whether you know him from Disney or Broadway, YouTube, the silver screen, or not at all, one fact remains: Josh's work never fails to bring people together (as long as they're alive.) His delightful debut, written in the tradition of Amy Poehler, Jim Gaffigan, and Mindy Kaling, reminds us to keep going, even when the chips and doubters are stacked against you.
