We could be magic [graphic novel] / by Meyer, Marissa,author.; Murray, Joelle,illustrator.;
When Tabitha Laurie was growing up, a visit to Sommerland saved her belief in true love, even as her parents' marriage was breaking apart. Now, she's landed her dream job at the theme park's prestigious summer program. It's where she can make magical memories for kids, guests, and superfans--just like her! All she has to do is audition for one of the coveted princess roles, and soon her dreams will come true. There's just one problem. The heroes and heroines at Sommerland are all ... skinny. And no matter how much Tabi lives for the magic, she simply doesn't fit the park's idea of a princess. Given a not-so-regal position at a nacho food stand instead, Tabi is going to need the support of new friends, a new crush, and a whole lot of magic if she's going to devise her own happily ever after ... without getting herself fired in the process.

For me fate wove this / by Randolph, Octavia,author.;
In an Angle-land riven by contesting Danes ... Hrald of Four Stones has fallen in love with Dagmar, the daughter of dead King Guthrum, who once ruled all Anglia. Dagmar is beautiful and poised; very much a King's daughter. Yet she owns nothing but the jewels about her neck - and the secrets she carries with her. "Are you always fighting Fate and the will of the Gods? Then you will be thwarted at every turn ..." Ashild has not forgotten this advice given her by her step-father Sidroc before he sailed for Gotland. Her own desires are contrary to the goals of those who love her best - how much more difficult to make decisions for two? Ceric of Kilton is now a proven warrior, and made second in command to Prince Eadward of Wessex. In the ceaseless attempt to bring the Danish interloper Haesten to heel, the Prince's small troop crosses into enemy territory. There they are pushed beyond the point of endurance. Deep into Lindisse, both Hrald and Ceric become enmeshed in a fearsome struggle between the marauding Danes and the warriors of Four Stones. The result changes both men forever.

The girls who fought crime : the untold true story of the country's first female investigator and her crime fighting squad / by Eder, Mari K.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From corsets to crime fighting, Mae Foley challenged the patriarchal status quo by not only juggling family life, but also by forming the first female auxiliary police force in the City That Never Sleeps. After the 19th Amendment passed in 1920, Foley galvanized 2,000 women to join her "Masher Squad" and eventually became one of the first sworn officers with the NYPD. The "Masher Squad" brought down robbers and rapists, investigated the notorious 3X serial murders, and provided witness protection during the trials of the deadliest mafia bosses in the city. Foley starred down the barrel of the gun--from facing the patriarchy head on, but also quite literally--and always came out on top"--
