Summary

What happens when a fairy godmother's tell-all memoir breaks the very magic that keeps fairy tales running?
 
Mavis Glitterweather thought retirement would be all tea and tranquility. She was wrong. Dead wrong. Catastrophically, princes-throwing-shoes-at-her-head wrong.
 
After decades of waving wands and granting wishes, Mavis decided to write a memoir exposing the messy reality behind those perfect "happily ever afters." The Fine Print of Fairy Tales was meant to be a harmless tell-all about magical mishaps and the bureaucracy of wish-granting.
 
Instead, it's unleashed complete chaos.
 
Cinderella's having an existential crisis about glass footwear and workplace rights for mice. Sleeping Beauty hasn't slept in days and has started fourteen new hobbies (she's terrible at all of them). Snow White's gone full investigative journalist, hacking magical mirror networks and exposing corruption in the Fairy Tale Guild.
 
And they're all coming for Mavis.
 
Because her memoir didn't just spill royal secrets—it broke the magical programming that's been controlling fairy tale characters for centuries.
 
Now the Guild of Magical Narratives wants her memory wiped, angry princesses are throwing conjured shoes, and the entire fairy tale world is teetering between predetermined perfection and messy, complicated free will.
 
Armed with nothing but her sarcastic wand Snarkle, a neurotic goat with hygiene issues, and a kleptomaniac crow who thinks everything shiny belongs to him, Mavis must fix what she's broken. Even if it means giving up everything she's ever known about magic.
 
Because sometimes the most magical thing you can do is let people write their own stories.

    A Guide to Making Decisions, Then Changing Your Mind 47 Times 
    🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along. 
    This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever: 
    ✔️ Spent an hour picking a movie, only to give up and rewatch The Office. 
    ✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice. 
    ✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation. 
    ✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it. 
    ✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it. 
    Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen. 
    Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get: 
    A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person. 
    An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage. 
    A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything). 
    A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it. 
    So, should you buy this book? 
    🤔 Yes. 
    🤔 No. 
    🤔 Maybe. 
    🤔 Let me think about it first. 
    (You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)

    This timeless work of biting satirical wit presents an A-to-Z lexicon of common English terms, and what we actually mean by them. The renowned author Ambrose Bierce produced classic works in a range of genres, from fantasy and horror to realistic tales drawn from his experience in the Civil War. Among his most beloved books is The Devil’s Dictionary, a work of wry humor that remains one of the funniest assessments of American language and manners. Through epigrams, essays, vignettes, and verse, Bierce skewers religion, class, politics, romance, and more.  Included, you’ll find such pithy definitions as:  ·      Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.  ·      Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.  ·      Consult, v.: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.  And many others.

    ""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer 
    From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself. 
    “You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor 
    The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians. 
    In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. 
    Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.

    Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs Sora to get a date for the wedding, otherwise she’ll be dancing with her Scottish great-uncle Bob. For  
    Sora, the phrase “minimal input, minimal expectations” is a way of life. 
     
    The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day.  
     
    What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila is better? Sora’s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. 
     
    When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #GoSolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? 
     
    Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker Sora hasn’t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can’t #GoSolo and get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should  
    Jack be different—even though he’s confounding her expectations of love? 
     
    Cheerfully irreverent, bitingly funny, and filled with romantic charm, The Second You’re Single is about navigating the most romantic month of the year, and how love always comes when you least expect it.

    During the years of 1995-2008 I fought the law (Secondary School Administrators) and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year Twice. Yet lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well three times because the Law was not doing its job. This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tale all, no holds barred, except changing the names, locations to protect from any law suits. At first I labeled this “Teaching Black While White” because many districts I worked in were minority based or “At Risk.” Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasian teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male Principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school. This book is dedicated to students every where who are stereo typed as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up; don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!
