Book Description
THAT affair of Jim Simmons's cats never became known. Two little boys and a little girl can keep a secret -- that is, sometimes. The two little boys had the advantage of the little girl because they could talk over the affair together, and the little girl, Lily Jennings, had no intimate girl friend to tempt her to confidence. She had only little Amelia Wheeler, commonly called by the pupils of Madame's school "The Copy-Cat." Amelia was an odd little girl -- that is, everybody called her odd. She was that rather unusual creature, a child with a definite ideal; and that ideal was Lily Jennings. However, nobody knew that. If Amelia's mother, who was a woman of strong character, had suspected, she would have taken strenuous measures to prevent such a peculiar state of affairs; the more so because she herself did not in the least approve of Lily Jennings. Mrs. Diantha Wheeler (Amelia's father had died when she was a baby) often remarked to her own mother, Mrs. Stark, and to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Samuel Wheeler, that she did not feel that Mrs. Jennings was bringing up Lily exactly as she should. "That child thinks entirely too much of her looks," said Mrs. Diantha. "When she walks past here she switches those ridiculous frilled frocks of hers as if she were entering a ballroom, and she tosses her head and looks about to see if anybody is watching her. If I were to see Amelia doing such things I should be very firm with her.""Lily Jennings is a very pretty child," said Mother-in-law Wheeler, with an under-meaning, and Mrs. Diantha flushed. Amelia did not in the least resemble the Wheelers, who were a handsome set. She looked remarkably like her mother, who was a plain woman, only littleAmelia did not have a square chin. Her chin was pretty and round, with a little dimple in it. In fact, Amelia's chin was the prettiest feature she had. Her hair was phenomenally straight. It would not even yield to hot curling-irons, which her grandmother Wheeler had tried surreptitiously several times when there was a little girls' party. "I never saw such hair as that poor child has in all my life," she told the other grandmother, Mrs. Stark. "Have the Starks always had such very straight hair?"Mrs. Stark stiffened her chin. Her own hair was very straight. "I don't know," said she, "that the Starks have had any straighter hair than other people. If Amelia does not have anything worse to contend with than straight hair I rather think she will get along in the world as well as most people."

Book Description

Snap it up fast cat peeps." --Cat Wisdom 101 "Something good to read with your kids." --The Big Takeover "Surely you know crazy cat people like me who could use a hardback kitty-art book.

It is the purrfect gift for cat lovers of all ages and one you will want to turn the pages of again and again! It's also purrfect cocktail party fodder, keep this just a paw's reach away on your coffee-table, you have an instant conversation starter!" --Cat Chat with Caren and Cody "Cats and puns illustrated by a musician? It's like the Book Gods sensed a need in my life and amply provided." --The Cannonball Read "The only thing I did not like about Copycat is that, according to my human, kitties are not supposed to eat it." --Sparkle the Designer Cat "Cute drawings mixed with photos, very creatively crafted, with an endearing little face on each one." --Cottage Country Reflections "This is a great collection...an interesting and eye catching coffee table book." --Jenn's Review Blog "If you're a fan of graphics, words, or cats, this book will talk to you....I don't think you'll find another one like this unique book." --Journey of a Bookseller "This is a charming collection of drawings by David Yow...The drawings are all beautiful and David Yow's talent shines in each one." --Socrates' Book Reviews, "5-kitten" review "Copycat is a fun and whimsical book that any cat lover will enjoy." --Bergers Book Reviews "Hey David, it's me BUB. I read your book, and can't deny that I didn't read the whole thing in the first sitting. 'Catsup' and 'Catastrophe' are worth the price of admission alone. WOW YOW, MEOW." --Lil BUB, Internet cat celebrity David Yow's cat portraits, captured here for the first time in book form, are bold, striking, hilarious, and beautiful. Each portrait is based around a pun, but they capture so much more than wordplay. All cat lovers will find something to relish in this gorgeous coffee-table book, which is the perfect gift for cat enthusiasts, animal lovers, and anyone with a playful sense of humor. About the book, David Yow says: "I love cats. Always have. The only time I didn't have a cat was a brief hell in Chicago where I lived in an apartment whose landlord didn't allow them. At that place, I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of a cat which I named Toody. I also love wordplay. I'm the only adult I hang out with who still gets a kick out of puns. I make up palindromes. I used to write songs and poems (these days, I leave that for the songwriters and poets); in this book of cat-pun drawings, I have made a concerted effort to come up with ideas that range from really funny to really amusing. The entire litter of animals in this book are line drawings that are 'colored in' with photographic textures, and each cat is dropped into a photographic setting. Yep, that's the truth."

Book Description
*Includes the story “Cat Person”—now a major film* A compulsively readable collection of short stories that explore the complex—and often darkly funny—connections between gender, sex, and power across genres. “These stories are sharp and perverse, dark and bizarre, unrelenting and utterly bananas. I love them so, so much.” —Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award Finalist and author of Her Body and Other Parties “Kristen Roupenian isn’t just an uncannily great writer, she also knows things about the human psyche…The world has made a lot more sense since reading this book.” —Miranda July, New York Times bestselling author Previously published as You Know You Want This, “Cat Person” and Other Stories brilliantly explores the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it captures the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sex…until they can’t have sex without him; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for “something mean”; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her heart’s desire: a nameless, naked man; and a self-proclaimed “biter” who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker. Spanning a range of genres and topics—from the mundane to the murderous and supernatural—these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortable—or worse, understood—as if to say, “You want this, right? You know you want this.”

Book Description
This book has changed peoples lives to the better. And saved many lives.Copy Cat World has many loayal fans that adore the book. Alexandra: "It is because we always send messages to our environment. We send messages to the universal energy. When we have hopes and expectations, then that is the message we are sending, a message that we are lacking something. But is there really anything we need, do we know that for sure? We shouldn't ask for anything, only be grateful for what have and not demand more. What is meant to come will come and then we should accept it and be thankful. It will come when you are not asking for it and not waiting for it. You shouldn't declare that you are in need or act as if you lack something. It is most important to be contented with yourself and what you have. Do what is right in life and make good things happen around you. You will notice that when you perform an act of kindness, you feel good and that is an answer. It is better to be wealthy in spiritual riches than material ones. I feel rich if I can help somebody, and I feel richer and richer everytime I do something good. Money is not important. You don't need much to survive. Abundance creates indulgence, which leads to a bad way of life and unhappiness. We only need enough to live. We don't need all these things that people indulge in. It's not like you were ever happy! You had too much of everything, which leads to too much indulgence and more and more unhappiness! You bought yourself darkness, always more darkness, and you ended up at the bottom! The wrong path leads to the wrong destination!" Copy Cat World has many loayal fans that adore the book.
