Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think! It turns out they’re actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you-a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords!

![]() ![]() ![]() Lady Killers, based on the popular online series that appeared on Jezebel and The Hairpin, disputes that claim and offers fourteen gruesome examples as evidence. ![]() In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, “There are no female serial killers.” But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender? The narrative we’re comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are ones like Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy. Inspired by author Tori Telfer's Jezebel column “Lady Killers,” this thrilling and entertaining compendium investigates female serial killers and their crimes through the ages. ![]() ![]() ![]() For this older reader, the coolness of the author's innovation with the Cinderella fairytale was outweighed by bland characters and forced romance. This is the perfect book for younger teens who just can't get enough of Cinderella or who are looking to make the jump from middle grade to young adult fiction. That said, I think the book's audience, younger teens, will enjoy it, so I'll definitely be recommending it. The characters were one-dimensional and the romance unearned. The worldbuilding and plot waffled between being creative and a bit silly. Then, I heard some folks from Bloomsbury talk about this book at a recent conference, and I was sold! Unfortunately, though, there was way too much Cinderella in it for me to truly enjoy it. I saw this book ages ago on Netgalley and while I love the cover (and don't be afraid to chose a book by it's cover, kids!), I'm pretty over anything to do with Cinderella as I feel as though I've read around 8 million re-tellings in the last five years or so. When our main character falls in love with another girl instead of waiting to be chosen at the ball, she decides it's time for a change. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cinderella is dead is about a girl in a society where women are expected to behave like Cinderella in the beloved (well, they're forced to love it) fairy-tale: wait until you're somethingth birthday and then you must go to a ball to be chosen by a boy/man/grandpa who you will be forced to obey for the rest of your life. ![]() ![]() ![]() The secrets that were exposed shocked me and I was in for a fun ride with this book. There are twists and turns that I didn't see coming. ![]() The story is hard to read at times, as it deals with racism and homophobia. I recommend watching the movie Get Out first and having a basic understanding of the show Gossip Girl. Also, trigger warnings for racism, homophobia, outing, murder, a car accident, blood, death, racial slurs, gun violence, fire, bullying, stalking, gaslighting, toxic friendships, suicide, drug abuse, sexual assault/harassment, incarceration, and sexual content.Īce of Spades is a thrilling mystery that is very fast paced as you try to figure out who Aces is. But.when the anonymous “Aces'” starts exposing secrets, they realize that they're the only people being targeted. It follows Chiamaka and Devon, the only Black students at the prestigious Niveus Private Academy. The book is described as “Get Out meets Gossip Girl” and that is the best way to describe the story.

Pearson did not coin the phrase-she describes in the story how the term had come to her attention through a handful of friends who happened to be into guys who had a tummy instead of a six-pack-but her piece, which went viral, certainly helped to popularize it. ![]() It evokes a relatable, warm kind of dude who kicks back with a beer and pizza after his kids have gone to bed (although it should be mentioned that a dad bod is not exclusive to men who are actually fathers). ![]() And while plenty of language surrounding differing body types-especially those considered less conventionally desirable, like "skinny fat" before it-can be laden with judgment or derision, "dad bod" originated as be a term of endearment. He might instead have a paunch or visible beer belly, without being hugely overweight-just like the stereotypical suburban father of a nuclear family. The phrase "dad bod" refers to an average guy who doesn't have a lean, shredded physique. Which means that once again, discussions of "dad bods" have proliferated online. ![]() When you can't leave the house, you're more likely to spend more hours sedentary, enjoying the creature comforts of the couch and your favorite snacks in front of the TV, just like your old man. ![]() Over the last year, many guys have found themselves gaining weight due to the impact that life in lockdown has had on their diet and physical activity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These books contribute to a Norwegian realistic tradition about the coming of age of the unusual and artistic child.
