Herding Cats by Sarah Andersen, 110 pages

 With characteristic wit and charm, Sarah Andersen's third collection of comics and illustrated personal essays offers a survival guide for frantic modern life: from the importance of avoiding morning people, to Internet troll defense 101, to the not-so-life-changing futility of tidying up. But when all else fails and the world around you is collapsing, make a hot chocolate, count the days until Halloween, and snuggle up next to your furry beacon of hope.

Miss Bianca and the Bridesmaid by Margery Sharp, 110 pages

 The Embassy had never been gayer. Everyone loves the prospect of a glittering wedding, and preparations were progressing merrily. Suddenly, the busy excitement turned to dismayed anguish. The little bridesmaid had disappeared! "If she isn't found," cried the bride passionately, "There won't be any wedding for I shan't get married at all!"

With at least 332 guests expected, wedding presents laid out, telegrams of congratulations in piles, a banquet prepared, Miss Bianca understands instantly the critical state of affairs, and with her famed resourcefulness and gusto, takes full command of the emergency. So with Bernard offering loyal support, the search for the missing bridesmaid gets speedily under way with not a moment to lose.

Bleed, Blister, Puke, and Purge by J. Marin Younker, 110 pages

Welcome, that is, to the early days of the American medicine. (A time when your best option was usually to stay as far away from doctors as you possibly could.) This is a story of blood and guts, but it's also a surreal account of how difficult it was for good ideas to win out and for successful treatments to take hold. It's hard to believe that today's cutting-edge medicine originated from such crude beginnings, but this book reminds us to be grateful for today's medical care, while also raising the question: what current medical practices will be the horrors of tomorrow? There is progress here, but it's achieved over a whole lot of dead bodies. Prepare to be shocked, appalled, and very, very relieved that you happened to be born in a world with anesthetics.
