But their brief idyll ends when Lacey is offered big bucks to find a man who may well be hiding out in Youngstown.

Before going underground, he published a book exposing the end of the Cold War as a Russian hoax. Now Lacey&’s out to find a man who doesn&’t want to be found, up against Russian spies, federal agents, and leads that keep dying on him. With a little help from Natasha, he might just get to the bottom of it all before Fedorovich finds himself on the wrong end of a firing squad. &“Ross is wild, shrewd, mad, and unexpectedly funny.&” —The New York Times

Feet Man and Mr. Tiny
by Gina FreschetFeet Man has two gigantic problems - his feet. His foot size is triple-extra-umpteen-large. He has never found a shoe that fits him, and whenever people see him, they always point and make fun of him. But then one day he discovers a tiny man stuck between his toes - Mr. Tiny, to be exact. Mr. Tiny has his share of problems, too, but he doesn't let them bother him. He knows that everyone, no matter how unusual, has a talent. And when Mr. Tiny spots an advertisement for the Husky Puppy Shoe Company in the newspaper - "If We Can't Fit Your Size, We'll Give You a Giant Prize!" - he knows that Feet Man is a shoe-in to win. With lively illustrations and pun-ny read-aloud text, this friendship between two characters of vastly different shoe size demonstrates that sometimes it takes an outsider to help us discover what we are best at.
Feet of Clay: A Discworld Novel (City Watch #3)
by Terry Pratchett“This is fantasy served with a twist of Monty Python, parody that works by never taking itself too seriously.” —Publishers WeeklyMurder! Mahem! Bacon sandwiches! People are dying suspiciously in Ankh-Morpork, and Sam Vimes of the City Watch will find the truth. Another brilliant and hilarious Discworld adventure from beloved New York Times bestselling author Terry PratchettFor Commander Sam Vimes, Head of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of trouble . . . and more trouble: a werewolf with pre-lunar tension, a dwarf with attitude, a golem who’s begun to think for itself. Now he’s got the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians on his hands. It’s murder in Discworld!—which ordinarily is no big deal. The problem is, the deaths do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild; there’s an apparent lack of motive, and there’s no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. What Vimes does have are some tracks of white clay and more bothersome “clue” thingies that muck up his investigations.The anger of a fearful populace is already targeting the city’s small community of golems—those mindless, absurdly industrious creatures of baked clay, who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy—which would be bad enough even if their would-be “king” wasn’t as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.In addition to quieting the restless populace, Vimes has to find out whodunit—and howdunit too. He’s not even sure what they dun. But as soon as he knows what the questions are, he’s going to look for some answers.The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Feet of Clay is the 3rd book in the City Watch collection and the 17th Discworld book.The City Watch collection in order:Guards!

Feh: A Memoir
by Shalom AuslanderFrom the acclaimed author of Foreskin&’s Lament, a memoir of the author&’s attempt to escape the biblical story he&’d been raised on and his struggle to construct a new story for himself and his familyShalom Auslander was raised like a veal in a dysfunctional family in the Orthodox community of Monsey, New York: the son of an alcoholic father; a guilt-wielding mother; and a violent, overbearing God. Now, as he reaches middle age, Auslander begins to suspect that what plagues him is something worse, something he can't so easily escape: a story. The story. One indelibly implanted in him at an early age, a story that told him he is fallen, broken, shameful, disgusting, a story we have all been told for thousands of years, and continue to be told by the religious and secular alike, a story called "Feh."Yiddish for "Yuck."Feh follows Auslander's midlife journey to rewrite that story, a journey that involves Phillip Seymour Hoffman, a Pulitzer-winning poet, Job, Arthur Schopenhauer, GHB, Wolf Blitzer, Yuval Noah Harari and a pastor named Steve in a now-defunct church in Los Angeles.Can he move from Feh to merely meh? Can he even dream of moving beyond that?Auslander's recounting of his attempt to exorcize the story he was raised with—before he implants it onto his children and/or possibly poisons the relationship of the one woman who loves him—isn&’t sacred. It is more-than-occasionally profane. And like all his work, it is also relentlessly funny, subversively heartfelt and fearlessly provocative.

Felines of New York
by Jim TewsFeaturing more than 100 photos and quotes from cats in America's most glamorous city, Felines of New York exposes the furry underbelly of New York City's most glamorous, self-important residents.Where the humans of New York are accomplished, interesting, thoughtful, creative, and even sometimes tragic figures, the cats are simply cats. They do not stand in line for brunch, or have season tickets to the Met, or go indoor-rock climbing in Brooklyn. They do not shop at thrift stores or nibble finger sandwiches at the Russian Tea Room. And they certainly do not give a flying f*ck about the Yankees. No, the felines of New York bathe, purr, bask languidly in the sun, and occasionally cast baleful glances at the humans who provide them food and shelter. They are proof that behind every New Yorker, there lays a cat just waiting to destroy their IKEA futon and then eat their faces off when they die.
