Book Description
Katharina’s husband isn’t coming home for the weekend—again—so she’s on her own. When their chaotic daughter Helli has a nosebleed, Kat has to dash off to school to pick her up. Then their son, Alex, announces he’s bringing his new girlfriend home for the first time. Kat’s best friend from college is coming around tonight too, and she’s wondering if she should try to seduce him—but first she needs to do the shopping, the vacuuming and the laundry, deal with an exploding clothes-dryer, find their neighbour’s severed thumb in the front yard and catch a couple of escaped rodents. When she’s got all that sorted, perhaps she’ll have time to think about the thing she’s been trying not to think about—the lump she’s just found in her breast. Because you can’t just die and leave a huge mess for someone else to clean up...can you? And wasn’t there supposed to be more to life than this? Mareike Krügel lives in Schleswig-Holstein with her husband and their two children. She has received numerous literary awards, including the Friedrich Hebbel Prize. Look at Me is her fourth novel, and the first to be translated into English. ‘Funny, moving and thought-provoking.’ BookMooch ‘Kat and her family are deeply flawed but likeable characters; you want to cheer them on...A good read, suitable for long, dark evenings.’ Otago Daily Times ‘A quirky ride that masterfully blends a sardonic sense of humour with a deeply embedded fear of mortality.’ Readings ‘For all the chaos of Katharina’s life and for all the humour of her narrative voice, this well-written and surprisingly complex novel has an unexpected gravitas.’ Age ‘Definitely one of those “read in one sitting”, “hard to put down” books.’ Nudge Books ‘An enjoyable and thought provoking read.’ MindFood 'With a heroine so well-realised she feels like a friend, and piercingly true ruminations on the strange courses that life can take, Look At Me is a wildly impressive English-language debut.’ Culturefly ‘Full of whimsical inner monologues and snappy one liners.’ Booklist ‘Krügel knows her way around both the salty and sweet of marriage and motherhood.’ Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
Reconstructive facial surgery after a car crash so alters Manhattan model Charlotte that, within the fashion world, where one's look is oneself, she is unrecognizable. Seeking a new image, Charlotte engages in an Internet experiment that may both save and damn her. As her story eerily converges with that of a plain, unhappy teenager - another Charlotte - it raises tantalizing questions about identity and reality in contemporary Western culture. Jennifer Egan's bold, innovative novel, demonstrating her virtuosity at weaving a spellbinding, ambitious tale with language that dazzles, captures the spirit of our times and offers an unsettling glimpse of the future.

Book Description
I hear “look at me Daddy” at least a million times a day from my daughter. It is very important to her that I am watching when she is doing something. It doesn’t matter what it is. One day, an overwhelming thought popped into my mind while watching my daughter engage in yet another activity that she wanted me to watch her do. The thought was that my daughter did not just crave my attention, she craved my affirmation. She didn’t want me to just SEE what she was doing, she wanted me to SEE her. She wanted me to show her that I was interested in her as a person. The beginning pages of this book are addressed to fathers. I explain, in detail the insight that I received that day watching my daughter. This profound thought led to an extensive search for the true significance of the daddy-daughter relationship. The second part of the book is written in a way that not only demonstrates how dads can affirm their daughters with just simple, daily interactions; but allows the book to be used as a tool to interact with their daughters. This book can be read to daughters by dads as a bedtimes story. Besides, reading with our children is as fundamental as affirming them.

Book Description
Scene designer Charlie Cox is in a clandestine relationship with the theater's lead actor, Ricky Moore. Charlie knows it will never be more than that because Ricky is too egotistical to want to be seen in public with a man who has deep burn scars on one arm. Not that Charlie blames him, since he's certain he’s a freak in almost everyone's eyes. Jace Parish, the scene shop boss, is in love with Charlie but will never let him know. Jace thinks he’s uninteresting because he’s thirty and starting to bald, which makes him look middle-aged. He also has never admitted to anyone he works with that he’s gay. Liam Dolan owns the gym where Jace comes to work out his anger and frustration. Liam has been drawn to Jace from the beginning but believes Jace is straight, so has never revealed his feelings to Jace. Ricky Moore knows he is using Charlie for his own selfish ends. What Ricky can't figure out is why, when he can and does have anyone he wants in his bed, he keeps coming back to Charlie. These four men have preconceived ideas about themselves and each other. What will it take for them to realize love is possible, if they will only give it a chance?
