The Queen's faithful companion : a novel of Queen Elizabeth II and her beloved corgi, Susan / by Knight, Eliza,author.;
"A reigning queen ... Elizabeth wasn't born to be queen. But when her uncle abdicates and her father steps in as king, everything in her life changes. There is one thing that never wavers, however: her endearing love of her corgis--especially the new puppy, Susan, a gift for her eighteenth birthday. Susan is by her side during Elizabeth's World War II service; falling in love with Philip and getting married; the death of her father, King George VI; her accession to the throne; the birth of her first child; and her early struggles with running a country--an ever-present reminder to find the balance between self and crown. A loyal servant ... Hanna Penwyck has grown up with her family in service to the crown. Awkward and shy, she has a connection with nature, animals--and the young princesses at Windsor. When she becomes the Keeper of the Queen's Corgis, her job is to maintain the health and wellness of those most prized companions. With their shared love of the dogs, the Queen can open up to Hanna and feel free to be herself, so that is a service she happily provides as well. A faithful companion ... From the moment Susan became a royal dog, her duty was clear: To remind Elizabeth that she is more than just a queen, she is a human, and what matters is not just duty and honor, but also connection, family, and unconditional and enduring love. Susan is the keeper of memories, of secrets. Through Susan we gain a dog's eye view of royal life, human relationships, and the heartwarming bond between a queen and her beloved companion."--Back cover.

My belly : exploring why it's so hard for women to love their bodies / by Østby, Hilde,1974-author.; translation of:Østby, Hilde,1974-Mageboka.English.;
Includes bibliographical references."A candid, sharp-witted account of one writer's relationship with a seemingly-innocent body part. Hilde Østby is a successful author and cultural critic on the cusp of her forty-fifth birthday. But instead of celebrating her many accomplishments, all she can think about is how much she hates her stomach--an insecurity that has ruled over her existence ever since she was fifteen. How did a girl from an academic home--where intellect counted more than looks--become the kind of woman who would obsess over her appearance during a photoshoot for her latest book? In My Belly, Østby decides to, once and for all, write about her most hated body part, exploring how the male gaze, diet culture, stress, capitalism, fashion, beauty, and trauma have played into her obsession. Eventually, through knowledge and wonder, she finds the answer to overcoming her self loathing in unexpected ways."--

Hidden Salem / by Hooper, Kay,author.;
"A town shrouded in the occult. An evil that lurks in the dark. The SCU returns in a hair-raising novel from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. Nellie Cavendish has very good reasons to seek out her roots, and not only because she has no memory of her mother and hardly knew the father who left her upbringing to paid caregivers. In the eight years since her twenty-first birthday, very odd things have begun to happen. Crows gather near her wherever she goes, electronics short out when she touches them, and when she's upset, really upset, it storms. At first, she chalked up the unusual happenings to coincidence, but that explanation doesn't begin to cover the vivid nightmares that torment her. She can no longer pretend to ignore them. She has to find out the truth. And the only starting point she has is a mysterious letter from her father delivered ten years after his death, insisting she go to a town called Salem and risk her life to stop some unnamed evil. Before her thirtieth birthday. As a longtime member of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit, Grayson Sheridan has learned not to be surprised by the unusual and the macabre--but Salem is different. Evidence of Satanic activities and the disappearance of three strangers to the town are what brought Salem to the attention of the SCU, and when Gray arrives to find his undercover partner vanished, he knows that whatever's hiding in the seemingly peaceful town is deadly. But what actually hides in the shadows and secrets of Salem is unlike anything the agents have ever encountered"--

James Patterson by James Patterson : the stories of my life. by Patterson, James,1947-author.;
"How did a kid whose dad lived in the poorhouse become the most successful storyteller in the world? On the morning he was born, he nearly died. Growing up, he didn't love to read. That changed. He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys ‘R' Us Kid." He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party. He's only been in love twice. Both times are amazing. Dolly Parton once sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. Three American presidents have invited him to golf with them. How did a boy from small-town New York become the world's most successful writer? How does he do it? He has always wanted to write the kind of novel that would be read and reread so many times that the binding breaks and the book literally falls apart. As he says, "I'm still working on that one.""--
