You are not alone / by Hendricks, Greer,author.; Pekkanen, Sarah,author.;
"Shay Miller has three strikes against her: no job, no apartment, no love in her life. But when she witnesses a perfectly normal looking young woman about her age make the chilling decision to leap in front of an ongoing subway train, Shay realizes she could end up in the same spiral. She is intrigued by a group of women who seem to have it all together, and they invite her with the promise: "You are not alone."

They are everything Shay aspires to be, and they seem to have the keys to getting exactly what they want. As Shay is pulled deeper and deeper under the spell of the Moore sisters, she finds her life getting better and better. But what price does she have to pay? What do Cassandra and Jane want from her? And what secrets do they, and Shay, have that will come to a deadly confrontation? You are not alone: Is it a promise? Or a threat?"--

Falling for London : a cautionary tale / by Mallen, Sean,author.;
"A posting in London - it seemed like the perfect position. But the reality was far from perfect. It was more like the crumbling ceiling in his overpriced, crappy London flat. A veteran award-winning journalist for Global TV News, Sean Mallen was thrilled to be appointed Europe Bureau Chief. He was given three weeks to move to London to cover the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and he had to be prepared to travel the world to report on fascinating news events. One catch: his family said no. His tearful wife and six-year-old daughter warned him that they couldn't move to another country and that he would have to give up the chance of a lifetime. Falling for London is the story of how he convinced them to go, how they learned to live in and love the world's greatest (and ruinously expensive) city, and how his dream came true in ways he could have never expected."--

"With her trademark passion and deep appreciation for Chinese cooking, it's no wonder that TV star chef Ching-He Huang has quickly become the face of Chinese cuisine in both the US and UK. Now, in her first US book, Ching fuses Chinese and Western cultures to create 100 quick and healthy dishes without sacrificing taste or quality. From the traditional Chicken Chow Mein to the adventurous Cantonese style steamed Lobster with Ginger Soy Sauce; from lighter fare such as Yellow Bean Sesame Spinach to hearty Chilli Bean Braised Beef with Coriander and steamed Mantou Buns; Ching offers a diverse selection of new and delicious recipes for every occasion and taste. Interspersed with childhood anecdotes, Chinese superstition and etiquette, and suggestions for exciting variations on classic recipes, Ching's new book takes readers on a culinary journey that delightfully blends ancient and modern, yin and yang, experimentation and intuition--and ends with perfectly balanced and tantalizing dishes that will inspire even the most stalwart takeout devotees to get cooking"--Provided by publisher.

Fidelity / by Missiroli, Marco,1981-author.; Valente, Alex,translator.; translation of:Missiroli, Marco,1981-Fedeltà.English.;
"Carlo, a part-time professor of creative writing, and Margherita, an architect-turned-real estate-agent: a happily married couple in their mid-thirties, perfectly attuned to each other's restlessness. They are in love, but they also harbour desires that stray beyond the confines of their bedroom: Carlo longs for the quiet beauty of one of his students, Sofia; Margherita fantasises about the strong hands of her physiotherapist, Andrea. The dream of a new flat, suspended between the old cobbled streets of Milan and the modern skyline cutting the horizon, might just help Carlo and Margherita bring down the wall Sofia and Andrea have built between them. But it is love, with its unassuming power, which ultimately pulls them from the brink, aided by Margherita's mother Anna, the couple's anchor and lighthouse--a wise, proud seamstress hiding her own disappointments. But after eight years of repressed desires and the birth of a son, when the past resurfaces in the form of books sent anonymously, not even Anna might be strong enough to save them"--

Hope for cynics : the surprising science of human goodness / by Zaki, Jamil,1980-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Runaway cynicism is turning our world into a meaner, sicker place; director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, Dr. Jamil Zaki, is about to disrupt this narrative. For thousands of years, people have argued about whether humanity is selfish or generous, cruel or kind. In 1972, half of Americans agreed that most people can be trusted; by 2018, that figure had fallen to 30%. Different generations, genders, religions, and political parties can't seem to agree on anything, except, perhaps, on one idea: that human virtue is evaporating. Cynicism is a perfectly understandable response to a world full of injustice, harm, and inequality. But in many cases, cynicism has become the first -- or only -- tool that people reach for these days. It is the psychological hammer of our age, and we are treating others more and more like nails. Knee-jerk cynicism worsens social problems because our beliefs don't just reflect the world -- they change it. When we expect people to be awful, we coax awfulness out of them. Cynicism is a disease, with a history, symptoms, and a cure"--
