Beach Read meets The Flatshare in this warmly funny and delightfully sharp debut rom-com about a down-on-her-luck young woman who turns an innocent mix-up between a dating app and a roommate app into a new chance at love. She wasn't looking for love until it landed on her doorstep. After getting passed over for an overdue—and much-needed—promotion, Sadie Green is in desperate need of three things: a stiff drink, a new place to live, and a one-night stand. When one drink turns into one too many, Sadie mixes up a long-ignored dating app for a roommate-finding app and finds herself on the doorstep of Jack Thomas’s gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone. Too bad she’s more attracted to his impressive real estate than she is to the man himself. Jack, still grieving the unexpected death of his parents, has learned to find comfort in video games and movie marathons instead of friends. So while he doesn’t know just what to make of the vivaciously verbose Sadie, he’s willing to offer her his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet. And with the rent unbeatably low, Sadie can finally pursue her floristry side hustle full-time. The two are polar opposites, but as Sadie’s presence begins to turn the brownstone into a home, they both start to realize they may have just made the deal of a lifetime.

Caravaggio

When the Animals Were People is a collection of stories taken from the rich mythology of the Chumash Indians. The Chumash lived in Southern California along a Pacific Ocean coastal region between San Luis Obispo and Malibu, where they were an important tribe before the arrival of Europeans. A collection of nine legends about Coyote and his friends as told by the Chumash Indians. These fanciful stories tell the adventures of Coyote and his friends, whom the Chumash believed were once people. Coyote reacts to different situations with his characteristic cunning, trickery, and out-and-out foolishness. The myths were a way for the Indians to explain their world and pass on their traditions to their children. Many of the myths were long and complex. The editor, Kay Sanger, has retold them in a style that will appeal to youngsters in the upper elementary grades and junior high school. Detailed illustrations show artifacts such as a stone whale carving, a wooden plank canoe, and an asphaltum-lined water basket from the Chumash people.

Sources and Documents

Italian Art, 1500-1600 provides a unique view of the development of the literature on art in Italy during the Cinquecento. The selections bring out the close relationship between art theories and the actuality of art and chart a trend from a humanistic orientation to a more technical and professorial one. The documents and commentary reveal the effects that humanistic circles, the courts, and the Church--during the Renaissance and the Counter-Reformation--had on the way people wrote and thought about art.
