At the Rescue Cat Café / by Humphrey, Anna.; Rust, Kari.;
"A clowder of cats lives at the Rescue Cat Café, each distinct in look and personality and in need of a forever home. One sleeps in the sun, one winds around ankles, one is bold and adventurous ... but you won't see Mouse. He hides, watching the cafe with round green eyes. Day by day, visitors come to the café and, day by day, each cat goes home with a person who is just right for them. And every day, the café owner and her child are present. Like Mouse, the child is curious but shy. They watch the visitors come and go from behind their mum or safely tucked behind a book. They notice Mouse tucked away in his nook, hiding under a table, and playing with the feathers in a fancy lady's hat. And Mouse notices them, too. As the week passes, the child begins to come out of their shell, and Mouse's curiosity builds. On Sunday, when the child's yo-yo breaks and rolls across the floor, Mouse pounces-finally coming out of hiding to play. Before the shop owner and child close up that night, one final adoption takes place. If you peer into the window of the Rescue Cat Café, you won't see Mouse... because he's gone home."--

Enjoy Your Stay at the Shamrock Motel [electronic resource] : by Kaufman, Andrew.aut; CloudLibrary;
Aesop meets Anaïs Nin in these absurdist stories of very unexpected redemption Getting to the Shamrock Motel isn’t easy. It’s just off Concession #18, but you can’t get there through a sequence of lefts and rights. To find the Shamrock you have to be lost – not just on the map, but in your heart and soul. The Shamrock Motel does not accept reservations. The only way to get a room is by walking into the office and asking Rosemary, the owner/operator for one. Try not to stare at her hair. Fair warning: no one spends the night, or even an hour at the Shamrock without experiencing some form of transformation. Whether it’s accidently sleeping with a bear, turning yourself into a river, or getting entirely too intimate with the sun, time spent at the Shamrock will make you wiser, stronger, sexier, and more yourself. Even if that’s the last thing you want. These linked stories explore the intersection of personality and desire, love and lust, the joy and sadness of being alive and in love. Heated pool, cable TV, and a shot at redemption: the Shamrock Motel offers it all. Credit cards are accepted, but cash is preferred.

On the not-so-bright side, someone out there wants her ex-husband, Steven, out of the picture. Permanently. Whatever else Steven may be, he's a good father, but saving him will send her down a rabbit hole of soccer moms disguised as hit-women, and a little bit more involvement with the Russian mob than she'd like. Meanwhile, Vero's keeping secrets, and Detective Nick Anthony seems determined to get back into her life.

Jude is twenty-one when she flies in a private plane to Sark, a tiny carless Channel Island and the last place in Europe to abolish feudalism. She's been hired for the summer to tutor a rich local boy named Pip. But when Jude arrives, the family is unsettling. Pip is awkward, overly literal, and adamant he doesn't need a tutor, and upstairs, his enigmatic mother Esme; casts a shadow over the house. Enter Sofi: the family's holiday cook, a magnetic, mercurial Polish girl with appalling kitchen hygiene, who sings to herself and sleeps naked. When the father of the family goes away on business, Pip's science lessons are replaced by midday rose; and scallop-smuggling, and summer begins. Soon something powerful starts to touch the three together. But those strange, golden weeks on Sark can't last forever. Later, in Paris, Normandy and London, they find themselves looking for the moment that changed everything. Compelling, sensual, and lyrical, The Last Kings of Sark is a tale of complicated love, only children and missed opportunities, from an extraordinary new writer"--Provided by publisher.
