So This is Love-A Twisted Tale (A Twisted Tale)

But when the Grand Duke appoints her to serve under the king's visiting sister, Cinderella becomes witness to a grand conspiracy to take the king—and the prince—out of power, as well as a longstanding prejudice against fairies, including Cinderella's own Fairy Godmother.

So Witches We Became
by Jill Baguchinsky★ "Skillfully crafted and sharply descriptive with horrifying imagery to spare... Powerfully angry and vengeance-laden, with terrifying and very human monsters." –School Library Journal, starred reviewA queer, feminist spin on Stephen King&’s The Mist, this ode to female-rage is a perfect pick for fans of She Is a Haunting, and a reminder that if "boys will be boys", girls will fight back. For high school senior Nell and her friends, a vacation house on a private Florida island sounds like the makings of a dream spring break. But Nell brings secrets with her—secrets that fuse with the island's tragic history, trapping them all with a curse that surrounds the island in a toxic, vengeful mist and the surrounding waters with an unseen, devouring beast. Getting out alive means risking her friendships, her sanity, and even her own life. In order to save herself and her friends, Nell will have to face memories she'd rather leave behind, reveal the horrific truth behind the encounter that changed her life one year ago, and face the shadow that's haunted her since childhood. Easier said than done. But when Nell's friends reveal that they each brought secrets of their own, a solution even more dangerous than the curse begins to take shape. Reading like a YA feminist spin on Stephen King&’s The Mist, So Witches We Became is a diverse, queer horror about female friendship, the emotional aftermath of surviving assault, and how to find power in the shadows of your past. Step into your witchy power or be swallowed by the curse–the choice is yours.
So You Wanna Run a Country?: A Novel
by Kevin HolohanA satirical cyberpunk romp pitting fascist feudalism against rampant reality television corruption, with the future of humanity at stake "Holohan's prose pops and crackles as he combines an outlandish yet convincing vision of a tech-dominated future reminiscent of William Gibson with the wry wit of Neil Gaiman, and the result proves exceedingly funny . . . Holohan's silly dystopia, replete with ridiculous place names ("Newer York" and "Grander Central Station") and winking acronyms ("Consumer-Responsive Unscripted Drama"), strikes an utterly enjoyable medium between Futurama and Infinite Jest . . . A raucous, engrossing, unsettling whirlwind of a story that is as disarmingly novel as it is disturbingly familiar." —Kirkus Reviews So You Wanna Run a Country? is a satirical parable of the perils of authoritarianism, nationalism, and device-dependent group-think. After almost a century of being shut off from the rest of the world in self-imposed isolation, the neo-medieval statelet of Inner Azhuur suddenly volunteers to host the next season of the global streaming sensation So You Wanna Run a Country? The producers must now assemble the next crew of unqualified misfits whose ineptitude as they attempt to run the country will entertain billions across the globe. From Newer York, where homelessness has been eliminated by rebranding it as a Thoroughfarian lifestyle choice, come Mooney and Wendy who meet while sleeping in discarded pipes on a vacant lot—one seemingly directed by Captain Dude, a statue attached to a skateboard, and one on the run after deliberately crashing a large chunk of the speculative economy. Cast as Regent of Inner Azhuur and Consort to the Regent, they are joined by Skid, a Dubliner kicked out of his fledgling band and eager to escape a stultifying job as a tourist ambiance fake street menace in Glasgow. Arriving in Inner Azhuur, these three encounter a world of antiquated and indecipherable customs, all meant to glorify the vanished ruler, General D'Izmaie, and return Inner Azhuur to some perceived former glory. As the reality show unfolds, our misfits are enmeshed in a mad power grab of overweening global ambition and find themselves in a struggle against the all-too-real, ruthless and sinister power brokers of Inner Azhuur. Holohan's mischievous literary voice is sure to please fans of cyberpunk greats like Philip K. Dick and William Gibson.

Sobre hormigas y dinosaurios
by Cixin LiuEn un día normal y corriente del Cretácico superior, las semillas de la primera y mayor civilización de la Tierra se sembraron en los restos del almuerzo de un tiranosaurio. Por al autor de El problema de los tres cuerpos La inteligencia es un destello fugaz en la larga noche de la historia cósmica. Que pueblen la tierra no una sino dos especies inteligentes al mismo tiempo pone en cuestión cualquier cálculo de probabilidades. El hecho de que esas dos especies, tan distintas como complementarias, forjen una alianza que a su vez enciende una civilización desafía toda lógica. Los inicios de la alianza entre las hormigas y los dinosaurios fueron humildes, pero de ella surgieron la escritura, las matemáticas, los ordenadores e incluso los viajes espaciales. Una verdadera era de las maravillas que, sin embargo, hará pagar un alto precio a la biosfera de la Tierra y a quienes dependen de ella. Pese a todo, los dinosaurios se negarán a escuchar la advertencia de las hormigas sobre el inminente colapso ecológico, y al hacerlo dejarán a la Federación Fórmica frente a un único dilema: destruir a los dinosaurios, aniquilar una civilización… ¿o morir junto a ellos? La crítica ha dicho:«La respuesta de China a Arthur C. Clarke».THE NEW YORKER «Increíblemente imaginativo, realmente interesante».BARACK OBAMA
