THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLERTRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HURPSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you? ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail? Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships.This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and ha
Unlock the secret code of cats for a deeper connection with the feline in your life. Why does my cat always want to sleep on my computer keyboard? How can I keep her from bullying the dog? This used to be her favorite food, but now she won't touch it Why will she only drink from the bathroom faucet? Does she actually like me? If you've ever wondered, as she sits on your head at 4am, what on earth is going on beyond your cat's inscrutable gaze, this book has the answers. Drawing on extensive animal behavior psychology and the latest research, it reveals what's really behind those things cats do--whether they're amusing, irritating, or just downright bizarre. Cats may not telegraph their emotions (unlike the dogs they look down on), but they do show their feelings, often quite subtly, in the way they relate to you, other animals, and their home environment. With gorgeous and accurate illustrations across a range of breeds, this book helps you read and interpret your cat's body language a

The next stunning novel from Donna Barba Higuera, author of Newbery and Pura Belpr?Award-winning The Last Cuentista This is the story as it was told to me by Leandro the Mighty. For 400 years, Earth has been a barren wasteland. The few humans that survive scrape together an existence in the cruel city of Pocatel - or go it alone in the wilderness beyond, filled with wandering spirits and wyrms. They don't last long. 13 year-old pickpocket Leandro and his sister Gabi do what they can to forge a life in Pocatel. The city does not take kindly to Cascabel like them - the descendants of those who worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations. When Gabi is caught stealing precious fruit from the Pocatelan elite, Leando takes the fall. But his exile proves more than he ever could have imagined -- far from a simple banishment, his consciousness is placed inside an ancient drone and left to fend on its own. But beyond the walls of Pocatel lie other alebrijes like Leandro who seek for a better w
