To Help You Always Land on Your Feet

Cats radiate contentment. Whether they are relaxing in the sun or curled up next to their favorite people, you can feel their calm and quiet affection just by being in their presence. It's no wonder that cats are such popular pets--not only are they faithful companions, but their sweet dispositions provide the ideal inspiration for how to live life well. Author Romana Gould created this book, featuring some of her own cuddly kitties, to help you bring a more cat-like purrspective to every day. Think of how loved you feel when your cat settles into your lap or rubs against you and the joy that fills you when you hear your cat meow. Romana's gentle words and charming photographs encourage us to appreciate the love and joy in our lives and to share it with others through acceptance, caring, and forgiveness.

Deborah Harkness

A Novel

Book one of the New York Times-bestselling All Souls trilogy—"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People). Look for the hit TV series “A Discovery of Witches,” streaming on AMC Plus, Sundance Now and Shudder. Season 2 premieres January 9, 2021! Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life.
