F*cked Up Fairy Tales: Sinful Cinderellas, Prince Alarmings, and Other Timeless Classics
Based on the wildly popular web series, F*cked Up Fairy Tales presents modern retellings of some of the strangest and darkest stories humans had the audacity to invent. Inspired by sources from around the world, "Cosbrarian" Liz Gotauco conjures gossipy animals, homicidal royals, doomed commoners, and shape-shifting beaux--all reckoning with complicated, adult problems that "Disney versions" have sanitized.
F*cked Up Fairy Tales explores timeless themes that have long tickled the human subconscious, from accidental bestiality ("So . . . You Married an Animal") and catastrophic marriages ("Crappily Ever After") to the vexed question of what to do with your murderous lindworm child ("F*cked Up Family Trees"). Gotauco highlights the not-so-distressed damsels and overlooked voices of folklore, including heroes like the Philippines' unlucky-in-love goddess Maria Makiling, India's clever Princess Kalendrin, and Chile's no-nonsense Snow White. She also teases and topples fairy tale tropes: for every wicked stepmother there's a gaslighting sorcerer; for every royal wedding there's an embarrassingly public breakup; childhood lessons of idleness, innocence, and piety are put on hold for questions about lust, aging, and divine poetic justice. And her deeply researched yet hilarious asides offer insight into the stories' contested origins and spill deliciously weird details about fairy tale authors like Madame d'Aulnoy and the Brothers Grimm.
Sexy, disturbing, and outrageous, with stylish, distinctive illustrations, F*cked Up Fairy Tales celebrates the astonishing diversity of the oral tradition, reaffirming our universal love for a story that's messy as f*ck.

Switzy
A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man's last pilgrimage, from the New York Times best selling author of The Girls and The Guest. A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable. This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend's house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life. As David's arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish. -
Who Killed The Earl Of Moran?
#1 NYT-bestselling author Stephanie Laurens is back with a challenging case in which, from the first, the Adairs and Inspector Stokes are under significant pressure to identify the murderer of a powerful nobleman.
When the Earl of Moran is found bludgeoned to death in his study, the finger is pointed at his mother's companion, Mary Alder, who the earl had dismissed and who was found standing over his body. Mary is the mother of Julian, one of Barnaby Adair's Lads Network's brightest stars, and in desperation, Julian and his employer, Curtis, appeal to the Adairs and Stokes for help in saving Mary from the hangman. While the investigators quickly establish that Mary couldn't have been the murderer, pressure builds to quickly declare the murderer's identity, yet who actually accomplished the deed is difficult to imagine, let alone prove.
After being dismissed-for no apparent reason-from her position as companion to the Dowager Countess of Moran, Mary Alder believes she is fulfilling her last duty to the earl before leaving his employ the following morning, only to discover, on entering his study, that the earl has been struck down and is very dead. Then she's discovered standing, horror-struck, over the body, and is accused of committing the crime.
On learning of his mother's predicament, Julian seeks help from his employer, Curtis, who immediately enlists the assistance of the Adairs and Stokes on Mary and Julian's behalf. As the investigators have already been directed to solve the politically and socially sensitive case without delay, they are swiftly on the scene-only to find that all their prime suspects were in the drawing room at the time of the murder, under each other's eyes.
Indeed, despite a plethora of potential suspects, there's a dearth of evidence that places any of them anywhere near the earl's study at the fateful time.
In solving this case, the investigators are forced to look past the obvious and confront their own prejudices before-fact by fact and motive by motive-they finally answer the question of who killed the Earl of Moran.
A historical novel of 78,000 words interweaving mystery, crime, and a touch of romance.

We Do Not Care Club Theory: A No-Apologies Guide to Women in Perimenopause, Menopause, and the Glorious Art of Not Caring Anymore with Melani Sanders
At some point, many women reach a season where the rules they have lived by no longer make sense. The body feels unfamiliar. Emotions arrive without warning. Patience wears thin. The urge to explain, smooth, and manage everything begins to fade. What replaces it can feel unsettling at first, but it is also deeply clarifying. This book is for the women standing in that moment, wondering whether they are falling apart or finally telling the truth.
Written with honesty, humor, and deep compassion, this book speaks directly to women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond who are exhausted by pretending everything is fine. It offers relief from shame and reassurance that these changes are not personal failures, but natural transitions that deserve understanding rather than judgment. Through relatable storytelling and grounded insight, it names experiences many women feel but rarely say out loud.
Rather than offering rigid rules or unrealistic fixes, the book provides perspective. It explores why tolerance disappears, why exhaustion runs deeper than sleep, why emotions feel sharper, and why identity begins to shift. It explains how hormonal change affects the body and brain without turning women into problems to be solved. The focus is not on perfection, but on discernment, boundaries, and self trust.
Along the way, readers are invited to let go of overachievement, people pleasing, and constant explanation. The book encourages choosing peace over approval, rest over guilt, and connection over obligation. It makes space for grief over what has changed while also honoring what is emerging. Humor weaves throughout as a survival tool, offering lightness without minimizing the weight of the experience.
This is not a medical manual or a self improvement checklist. It is a companion for a powerful and often misunderstood life stage. It reassures women that they are not broken, that their reactions make sense, and that they are allowed to live differently now. Honest, validating, and deeply human, this book reminds readers that becoming themselves was never meant to be quiet or comfortable, but it is worth it.
