But in no time at all, the cat becomes a celebrity, charming all sorts of important visitors, including Giuseppe Verdi and the pope himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Check it: I'm Zsa-Zsa. Some call me arrogant, but I call it confidence. You decide when you find out what I'm working with. First things first--I'm seventeen, but I'm grown and have been for a long time. I have my own ride, my mama doesn't clock my time, and my boyfriend, Ameen, is getting money like you wouldn't believe. There's only one problem: when Ameen gets mad, sometimes he takes his anger out on me. And yeah, maybe I could leave him, but there's no way Ameen could imagine being without me. So now I'm all confused, especially since my first love, Malachi, is back in my life. Ameen is not giving up without a fight, and no matter how hard I try, the love I have for Malachi won't go away. And did I mention that Malachi has a girl? Needless to say, my days are filled with drama. So this is my story and you need to come and chill with me as I try and see what boy is for me, what love is all about, and if my first teenage love affair will forever rule or ruin my life.

Download or read book Loving written by Hugh Nini and published by 5 Continents Editions. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving: A Photographic Story of Men in Love, 1850-1950 portrays the history of romantic love between men in hundreds of moving and tender vernacular photographs taken between the years 1850 and 1950. This visual narrative of astonishing sensitivity brings to light an until-now-unpublished collection of hundreds of snapshots, portraits, and group photos taken in the most varied of contexts, both private and public. Taken when male partnerships were often illegal, the photos here were found at flea markets, in shoe boxes, family archives, old suitcases, and later online and at auctions. The collection now includes photos from all over the world: Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Japan, Greece, Latvia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Serbia. The subjects were identified as couples by that unmistakable look in the eyes of two people in love - impossible to manufacture or hide. They were also recognized by body language - evidence as subtle as one hand barely grazing another - and by inscriptions, often coded. Included here are ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, glass negatives, tin types, cabinet cards, photo postcards, photo strips, photomatics, and snapshots - over 100 years of social history and the development of photography. Loving will be produced to the highest standards in illustrated book publishing, The photographs - many fragile from age or handling - have been digitized using a technology derived from that used on surveillance satellites and available in only five places around the world. Paper and other materials are among the best available. And Loving will be manufactured at one of the world's elite printers. Loving, the book, will be up to the measure of its message in every way. In these delight-filled pages, couples in love tell their own story for the first time at a time when joy and hope - indeed human connectivity - are crucial lifelines to our better selves. Universal in reach and overwhelming in impact, Loving speaks to our spirit and resilience, our capacity for bliss, and our longing for the shared truths of love.

Book excerpt: This modern classic from Newbery award winning author Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery is a remarkable true story of the devotion, friendship, and survival of two pets left behind in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. A testament to the spirit that defined post-Katrina rescue missions, this beautiful picture book has been a favorite of young readers for fifteen years. During Hurricane Katrina, evacuating New Orleans residents were forced to leave their pets behind. Bobbi the dog was initially chained to keep her safe, but after her owners failed to return, she had to break free. For months, Bobbi wandered the city's ravaged streets--dragging her chain behind her--followed by her feline companion, Bob Cat. After months of hunger and struggle, the Two Bobbies were finally rescued by a construction worker helping to rebuild the city. When he brought them to a shelter, volunteers made an amazing discovery about the devoted friends--Bob Cat was actually blind! He had survived the aftermath of the storm by following the sound Bobbi's chain made as she dragged it along the ground. At the shelter, the two bob-tailed friends refused to be parted, even for a moment. Could rescue workers find the Bobbies' owners? Or could they find a new home that would take them together?

Book excerpt: Jaka Someh is an easy-going man and happy to help. Since he was a teenager he has been practicing martial arts with discipline and hard. Jaka Someh became a great warrior, but his heart was still kind and not arrogant. Even though he has defeated many evil martial figures who are known to be powerful and feared. Jaka Someh has a sincere and patient heart. He tends to prefer to give in and avoid conflict with others. So that makes him a less assertive person. Not firm in making decisions. Perhaps because of his lack of firmness, Jaka Someh felt bad for rejecting Pak Rohadi's request to marry his daughter who was pregnant out of wedlock. Mr. Rohadi's daughter named Asih. Asih is pregnant and left by her lover. Asih is actually a beautiful woman and has even become a village flower. Asih actually didn't want to marry Jaka Someh, but in order to save the dignity of the family she was forced to follow her father's wish, to marry Jaka Someh. Although Jaka Someh is only a substitute husband for Asih, Jaka Someh tries to love Asih with all his heart, but unfortunately, Asih's attitude often humiliates Jaka Someh, who has officially become her husband. Jaka Someh's appearance is indeed too simple, making him a lot of belittled and considered stupid by others. Even by Asih, his own wife. Who had the heart to betray his holy love. Even though Jaka Someh has sacrificed a lot for Asih. He always tries hard to always make his wife happy, but still Asih doesn't want to respect Jaka Someh. Even Asih had the heart to cheat on Jaka Someh. Two years after her marriage to Jaka Someh, Asih is reunited with her former lover who once got her pregnant. They also re-establish a love affair. Their affair was finally discovered by Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh felt very angry, confused, sad and disappointed. Jaka Someh wanted to kill the man who had trampled on his pride. But he could not do it, because he could not bear to his wife and stepson whom he loved very much. Sad, angry, disappointed but trapped by sincere feelings of love and respect. Jaka Someh became very confused and indecisive. So what will Jaka Someh do to deal with his troubled household? Should he divorce his wife? Or did he repay his wife's affair with another affair? or just go, wander far away from Asih who has had the heart to have an affair? Will his household problems turn him into a different person? On the other hand, as a warrior, Jaka Someh is required to defend and protect people who are experiencing oppression from gangs of criminals. At that time a powerful warrior appeared who had torn apart the martial world. His name is Ki Jabrik. Ki Jabrik is the leader of a gang of criminals who have defeated many martial arts figures. Ki Jabrik's gang has oppressed many people and not a single warrior dares to face Ki Jabrik and his gang. Can Jaka Someh face Ki Jabrik and his gang who are known to be powerful and cruel?
