Monday might never come in this workaholic&’s nightmare. Noelle has no idea how being trapped in a time loop is the &“thing she needed most,&” and a trip to the food stall doesn&’t help…because there&’s no sign of it. Then she meets good-looking Cam, who appears in multiple places on her Friday. While the brewery owner seems to have no memory of their encounters, there are signs he might be the key to getting un-stuck. But Noelle can&’t figure out how, even when she steps outside of her comfort zone and lives a little. As she grows attached to him, she becomes more worried that she&’ll never escape the loop and he&’ll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the &“real&” world?

The Time of New Weather: A Novel
by Sean MurphyTHE TIME OF NEW WEATHER IS AT HAND-AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.In this exhilarating adventure of absurdist wit, rollicking revolution and romance, the future isn't what it used to be and the past won't leave us alone. Bringing to mind1984 and Brave New World-but with his own twist of gleeful humor-award-winning author Sean Murphy presents a vision of an America gone off the rails: an America where it literally rains cats and dogs, where a hubcap ranch is now a National Preservation Site, where a horde of circus folk and Elvis fans are on the rampage-and where some rather suspicious things are going on with time and gravity.Into this world is born Buddy Le Blanc, a young boy with a special gift: the ability to perform tiny miracles. Nothing big, like raising the dead or curing the sick-more like an uncanny knack for finding spare change. He longs to find a way to make a difference; but in a world where time and gravity storms can spring up at a moment's notice (sending your belongings hurtling through the roof, or off to the Renaissance) and big business has gobbled up the U. S. government (now renamed The America Corporation), it's hard to get your foot in the door.But when Buddy joins up with a cast of fellow seekers-renegade circus freaks, ragtag revolutionaries, a woman in search of her hat, and a particularly gorgeous journalist-in the hope of waking America up from its dream, the fate of the country may just end up in his not-so-capable hands....

Which prompted Powell to write in her diary "Who can I believe? Me or myself?"From the Trade Paperback edition.

Times-Square Samurai: or The Improbable Japanese Occupation of New York
by Billie Niles Chadbourne Robert B. JohnsonTwenty years of story-telling have passed since American troops first "occupied" themselves in Japan--years of storing up, savoring, and enlarging on those zany GI escapades that are responsible for prolonging many a coffee break and extending many a "just for a quickie" bar stop. <P><P>Today, little reality remains in the stories even for the chest thumping vet, let alone his breathless listeners.But here's where Bob Johnson and Bill Chadbourne--vets themselves--put a little perspective back into those occupation memories with this rib-tickling cartoon account of what actually happened ... with a major switch. The shoe, or in this case the geta, is on the other foot and it is New York that is imaginatively occupied by the Japanese.This turn-about is sure to give the GI a look at himself that he has never seen before. It will also introduce his heretofore unwary listeners to the real occupation story, the one responsible for adding a new, rollicking chapter to American humor.
