Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

This was a very enjoyable quick read. It is a nice modern twist on a Greek myth. If you like Greek love storys then i would recommend picking this book up for a quick summer read :)

Fairy Bad Day
by

Fairy Bad Day features “sighted” teenagers who attend Burtonwood Academy to learn all about “elementals” (such as dragons, demons, ogres, and fairies) that only they can see and how to slay them. Fifteen-year-old Emma is the daughter of one of the greatest dragon-slayers ever and is all set to be inducted as the next one in the family, only to learn she has been assigned to be a fairy-slayer! To add insult to injury, her coveted spot has been given to Curtis Green, a scholarship student who was a late addition to the academy. Since fairies are actually considered to be more of a nuisance than a threat, Emma doesn’t really have an instruction manual to fall back on and has to find out the best ways to slay them by herself. Nail files, hairspray and Skittles become her tools of choice, but it turns out the little 10-inch fashionistas are a lot tougher to slay than expected! When Emma and Curtis are teamed up for a class assignment, they stumble upon a giant killer fairy with an evil plot to overturn the mortal realm. As they work together to discover the fairy’s plan, they get to know each other better and Emma is reluctantly drawn to Curtis. But Curtis has a secret of his own that could end his slaying career forever. This book will leave a smile on your face... i found myself laughing aloud at some of the parts, who knew fairys were so funny :) if Amanda ashby puts out a squeal i will defiantly pick it up for a quick read :)

In Amma's Healing Room: Gender and Vernacular Islam in South India

Unless you are reading this book for a class or you are an anthropologist i wouldnt recommend reading this book. It is a though read, very long winded, and very dry. I wish anyone luck that has to read it for class. It does have some intersting parts in it however reading it just because, isn't something that i would do. :(
