The Tatami time machine blues : a novel / by Morimi, Tomihiko,1979-author.; Balistrieri, Emily,translator.;
During a scorching August in Kyoto, our protagonist and his worst friend, Ozu, are locked in a glaring contest in a four-and-a-half-tatami-mat room. Ozu has spilled Coke on the air conditioner's remote control--the only AC in Shimogamo Yusuisuiso, their famously shabby sweatbox of an apartment building. Vengeful and despairing, our protagonist discusses countermeasures with his secret crush, the reliably blunt Akashi, when Tamura, a strange young man with a bad haircut, appears. Tamura claims to be a time traveler from 25 years in the future, and shows off the time machine he uses to travel. Our protagonist has a brilliant idea: the sweetest revenge would be to go back one day in time and retrieve the functioning remote control. His simple fix is complicated by Ozu and several others who are also eager to take a ride back in time. But in attempting to alter the past, our protagonist foresees the world's extinction. Even more troublingly, Akashi mentions she's bringing someone to the upcoming bonfire ... and it's not him. Only one thing remains certain: it's going to be a very long month. Obliteration? Salvation? Coca-Cola? Castella cake? What does the time machine hold for our (not quite) heroes? It all depends on which one gets there first.

Love your home again : organize your space and uncover the home of your dreams / by Lightfoot, Ann,author.; Pawlowski, Kate,author.;
"When people first move into their homes, they have clear ideas about what they want from every room. The bedrooms will be peaceful and cozy. The dining room will work well for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen will be a hub of activity of course, but it will be high functioning and easy to manage. Time passes and clutter happens. Drawers, closets and cabinets get full of stuff making it difficult to put things away. Everyday tasks become dreadful. A few years later, when people look around, the home they dreamt of is far from the reality. In Love Your Home Again, mother-daughter organizing duo Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski will teach our readers how to manage their homes in a way that is modern, kind, effective, and fair. No one wants to spend all their free time doing chores. Through their signature systems of decluttering, organizing, and maintaining, Ann and Kate guide readers through the steps needed to resolve the issues behind the excess stuff and how to clear it out of their home to create the space to consider what they really want from their home. Through stories (and photos) of clients' successes, readers will learn how to achieve their dream home through the power of organizing"--

The royal trials / by Mbalia, Kwame.; Makonnen, Joel,Prince,1982-;
"Yared has traveled a long way to find his place in the universe. Light years, even. Though the battle of Addis Prime is over, the spacefaring Axum Empire is still fractured. The kingdom once gave their technology away free of charge, to better humankind. Now, having been missing for over a decade, they're returning to the planet where their galaxy-spanning civilization began--Earth. But they find the planet in disarray. Old Earth's atmosphere is a mess of junked shuttles and satellites. This is especially true of Debris Town, an orbital flotilla where poor spacefarers--left to rot by the Intergalactic Union that rose up in Axum's place--have taken to piracy to survive. Yared is set to speak at the opening of the Royal Trials, a competition of the best exo pilots in the Sol System. But on the day of his speech, the pirates launch an attack! The siege sets off a chain of events that will lead Yared into the depths of Old Earth--and the jaws of a cruel betrayal. There's more to the pirates--and Debris Town--than anyone saw coming"--Provided by publisher.LSC
