Because women don't have to be men's equals to be considered contenders; they have to be better. That's the lie of it all. You have to be better to prove yourself worthy of being equal.

Can’t wait

The Princess And The Fangirl

By Ashley Poston

Synopsis:

From the acclaimed author of Geekerella, this spin on The Prince and the Pauper is a perfect story for geek girls of every fandom. Movie star Jessica Stone can’t bear to pretend to love Starfield at yet another con—except her contract obligates her to do just that. She never dreamed she’d be playing Princess Amara for life, yet for better or worse, beloved Princess Amara has Jessica Stone’s face. But so does someone else … Imogen Lovelace is just another Starfield fan hitting up ExcelsiCon—except she happens to look an awful lot like Jessica Stone. So when Jess spots her doppelgänger, a brilliant idea pops into her head: Swap places! Jess can escape the spotlight for a few days, while Imogen can ditch her cruddy job and dodgy hotel room to see life beyond her dull hometown. Jess doesn’t anticipate actually liking Imogen’s life or the gorgeous non-famous girl who might be the person she needs to forget about her ex. And Imogen loves being Jess until she’s trapped in a paparazzi snafu and realizes fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. With the press poised to reveal their secrets, and an announcement about the sequel looming, both Jess and Imogen will have to stand up for the truth: That there is no such thing as a fake geek girl. That what you love matters. That fandom can, and should, let you be who you really are.

The Princess And The Fangirl is due to hit shelves on April 2, 2019.

The Everlasting Rose 

By Dhonielle Clayton 

Synopsis

With a price on her head, the evil Queen Sophia out for blood, and no idea who to trust, Camellia Beaureguard, the former favorite Belle, must race against time to find the ailing Princess Charlotte, who has disappeared without a trace. Sophia’s imperial forces will stop at nothing to keep Camille, her sister Edel, and her loyal guard, Rémy, from returning Charlotte to the palace and her rightful place as queen. With the help of an underground resistance movement called the Iron Ladies–a society that rejects beauty treatments entirely–and the backing of alternative newspaper the Spider’s Web, Camille uses her powers, her connections, and her cunning to outwit her greatest nemesis, Sophia, and halt her attempt to restore peace to Orléans. But enemies lurk in the most unexpected places, forcing Camille to decide just how much she’s willing to sacrifice to save her people.

The Everlasting Rose is due to hit shelves on March 5, 2019.

Love. I sigh. Love is joy coupled with misery, elation bound to despair. It is a fire that beckons me gently and then burns when I get too close. I hate love. I yearn for it. And it drives me mad.
