A continuing series that highlights books recently acquired by publishing houses for future release. Each post features a book we’re looking forward to, and a book we’re . . . not.

I too often allow a lack of cherries to keep me from posting a new entry in this series. So I’ll occasionally post a couple of pits; they’re more fun, anyway.

The Pit:

Dena Harris’ Who Moved My Mouse?: A Self Help Book For Cats (Who Don’t Need Any Help), which addresses the low self-esteem issues facing cats across the globe, and includes A Cat’s Conversations with God, and Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, But Feel Free to Freak Out Over Anything That Moves Suddenly or Without Warning.

Another Pit:

Marilyn Brant’s The Grand European, the story of a conservative young woman’s journey of self-discovery as she travels abroad with her adventurous aunt’s sudoku-and-mahjong club.
