“Cursed,” by Thomas Wheeler
Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King. But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen? Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village. She was desperate to leave until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else. Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family and discover the truth about her destiny.

“Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live),” by Eve Rodsky
It started with the ‘Stuff I Do’ List. Tired of being the default parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family — and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn’t enough: she needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career and marriage depended on it. The result is “Fair Play” — a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up chores and responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than 500 men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With four easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, “Fair Play” helps you prioritize what’s important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore from laundry to homework to dinner.
