There are now almost 100 published Pete the Cat titles with more coming out all the time. James published his first book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006, and he illustrated his first self-published children’s book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008.

James Dean’s art has been sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. The little blue cat showed up as a character in James’s artwork around 1999 and has been a permanent fixture ever since. It was during this time that he began creating paintings and drawing of his cat, Pete. Eventually, he was called to pursue his art full-time and began selling his work at art festivals around the Southeast. James earned his degree in electrical engineering from Auburn University and went on to work for Georgia Power for a number of years. His passion for drawing became apparent at a young age, and as a child, you could find James drawing his favorite characters like Snoopy and Yogi Bear. He is a self-taught artist originally from Fort Payne, Alabama. James Dean is the original creator and illustrator of Pete the Cat.

Initially, as Penelope grows into her own in the burgeoning early Women’s Suffrage Movement, Edgar exerts pressure, promising to use his power and access to help her advance. Over a series of encounters, he promises Penelope the financial security she craves, but at what cost? Skilled in the art of flirtation, Edgar is not without his charms, and Penelope is attracted to him against her better judgment. Summary A young woman without prospects at a ball in Gilded Age Newport, Rhode Island is a target for a certain kind of “suitor.” At the Memorial Day Ball during the Panic of 1893, impoverished but feisty Penelope Stanton draws the unwanted advances of a villainous millionaire banker who preys on distressed women-the incorrigible Edgar Daggers. But please don't worry, you still have more than 500,000 other books you can enjoy! Mistress Suffragette Diana Forbes We are sorry! The publisher (or author) gave us the instruction to take down this book from our catalog. Perveen is unable to appear in court (hence the title of solicitor instead of lawyer) but she is able to do investigations, handle wills, and so forth. In 1921, Perveen, a young female solicitor from a supportive Parsi Zoroastrian family becomes concerned about three Muslim widows who have signed their inheritance over to charity. The sense of rapid social change on many levels pervades the novel. The story takes place before Independence and before Partition, during a period when the Indian independence movement was gaining traction. However, it’s a very good female-centered historical mystery. Romance does not go well for the main characters. The Widows of Malabar Hill is a mystery set in Bombay, India in 1921. Genre: Historical: Other, Mystery/Thriller Yanagihara’s book takes the sense of the contemporary from one, and its grandiosity and stakes from the other. If they weren’t so firmly rooted into culture and curricula, the characters and drama would seem exaggerated, even melodramatic. In that case you might favor the second category, the Dickens/Dostoevsky ticket. Or the writers I listed could represent an exhaustion of imagination, the final triumph of mundane lived experience over fictional invention. You might choose to see this attention to life as a refreshing return to relevance or contemporaneity in fiction. There seem to be generous and ungenerous ways of looking at this moment. Often favoring qualities like minutia, repetition, stasis, neurosis, they don’t tell a story so much as narrate events. The “life novels” of today seem to hew so close to life as to cut into it. Hanya Yanagihara’s new novel A Little Life emerges between the contemporary “life novels” (of Ben Lerner, Tao Lin, Shelia Heti, Heidi Julavits, and newly imported stars, Elena Ferrante and Karl Ove Knausgaard) and a much older model of fiction, situated firmly in the 19th century: that of Dickens and Dostoevsky. Actually, all the books look very interesting. I think I'd really like Blank spaces and Not dead yet. Thanks a lot for recommending these books □. (M/M) Wes is demisexual.Īrthur and Martin's relationship is so quiet and sweet and perfect, I highly recommend His Quiet Agent & Merlin in the Library by Ana Maria Soto. In the course of one such job, he sees a murder happen and the lead investigator turns out to be an old boyfriend whose got some new surprises of his own. Not Dead Yet by Jenn Burke - a kinda sorta ghost story in which the MC, Wes, is mostly dead and can use a ghost's ability to get in and out of people's houses and re-appropriate items he's hired to, er, re-appropriate. is why I love when theres at least 2 ace characters in a book so its clearer were not all the same) In Blank Spaces by Cass Lennox and Perfect Rhythm. I didn't enjoy the second book quite as much, though it might be more up your ally: Finding Your Feet is about a m/f romance which takes place around a dance competition (but features a trope I dislike intensely: The Big Misunderstanding due to Lack of Communication). While I didn't enjoy Every Heart is a Doorway (I'm not much of a Seanan McGuire fan either), there are a lot of books I have read and enjoyed:īlank Spaces by Cass Lennox - ace male/gay male pairing around an art thift mystery. The main female character is asexual and I liked the book very much so I was wondering if you knew other books that have an asexual character?Īnd if not, do you have any book characters that you really liked?

Through these parallels, Ward reveals themes of motherhood and violence, chaos and control, and poverty and survival.

The letters revealed issues that Quan hadn’t known his friend struggled with.
