Book Review: Ten Dead Comedians: A Murder Mystery (Paperback Edition)
Ten Dead Comedians: A Murder Mystery
Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle | Audiobook
By Fred Van Lente
Publisher: Quirk Books
Paperback release date: June 5, 2018
Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is probably the most famous fictional murder-mystery, and has launched countless inspired tales since its 1939 publication that use the “locked room” setting. Even if you’ve never read the novel, you know how this type of whodunit goes — a group of people are lured to an isolated location and are killed off one by one, leaving everyone a suspect.

I’ve often thought of myself as a plucky heroine, ready to stand by my man and hold my own, while we go on a dashing adventure. As a fan of both romance novels (what? I have layers…) and choose-your-own-adventure books, I feel that Quirk Books’ newest tome blends the best of both to give you multiple romantic entanglements.
So I was off to my romantic adventure in My Lady’s Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris.

Book Spotlight: Princesses Behaving Badly
Princesses Behaving Badly
Real Stories from History Without the Fairy-Tale Endings
Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle Edition
Written by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie
Quirk Books
Hardcover Release Date: November 19, 2013
Trade Paperback Release Date: March 6, 2018
Contrary to the popular Disney belief, all princesses do not determinedly sing their troubles away, either the old-fashioned way of waiting for the prince or the new-fashioned way of saving themselves with a perfectly happy ending. Real princesses are fearless (or feared) leaders, fierce warriors, or women who just don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about them. And many of their stories do not end happily ever after. And thanks to Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories From History Without The Fairy-Tale Endings, we can learn more about these royal leaders.
