When brand new books come back damaged and parents say their children didn't do it. I just want to scream and yell. We're giving you damn books for free!!!!!!!!!! #librarianproblems
Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick: The first book in a series of adult graphic novels, Bitch Planet focuses on exploitation and women in an off-planet prison. The narrative moves back and forth through time, so we learn how each character is arrested and their experience within the prison. Although I quit after a few seasons, it's basically Orange is the New Black but infinitely better.
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson Given that this story is only ten pages and was written in the forties (and written by a woman), it certainly gives a lasting impression. Think Leave It To Beaver meets The Hunger Games meets The Stoning of Soraya M . It's horrifying, you'll be screaming at the book by the end.
