Ellen Haun

This wickedly wise (and wisecracking) parody of classic fairy tales redefines happily ever after for the modern feminist era. You know what? It's super creepy to kiss a woman who is unconscious. And you know what else? The way out of poverty isn't by marrying a rich dude -- or by wearing fragile footwear, for that matter. And while we're at it, why is the only woman who lives with seven men expected to do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry? Fairytales need a reboot, and comedy queens Laura Lane and Ellen Haun are the women to do it. In Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling, they offer a rollicking parody of classic (read: patriarchal) tales that turns sweet, submissive princesses into women who are perfectly capable of being the heroes of their own stories. Mulan climbs the ranks in the army but wages a different war when she finds out she's getting paid less than her fellow male captains, Wendy learns never to trust a man-boy stalking her window, Sleeping Beauty's prince gets a lesson in consent, and more. Busting with laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp twists to these outdated tales, Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling is fun, magical, necessary, and totally woke.

Dr. Alex Schiller, autorul bestsellerului Never Sleep Alone „Un extraordinar ghid de dating, deopotrivă inteligent şi amuzant, care chiar te-ar putea ajuta să-ţi găseşti partenerul de viaţă!” People Magazine „Autoarele ne-au fermecat pur şi simplu... O carte plină de umor şi de sfaturi practice, fără falsă pudoare..., o lectură de neratat atât pentru celibatare, cât şi pentru cele care şi-au găsit deja marea iubire.” Publishers Weekly „Laura şi Angela au scris o carte de milioane! Mi-a plăcut la nebunie! Este foarte veselă şi m-a făcut foarte fericit, pentru că mi-am dat seama că în ultimii 21 de ani nu am fost singur. Dacă vrei să râzi şi să afli ce e în neregulă cu tine, cumpără această carte.” Joel McHale, actor şi scriitor „Să citeşti această carte e ca şi cum ai ieşi în oraş cu cea mai bună prietenă şi, dacă aş fi avut-o mai demult, m-ar fi împiedicat să trimit multe mesaje jenante.” Meghan McCain, gazdă a emisiunii The View „Dacă te-ai săturat de pozele cu accesorii de nuntă şi buchete de mireasă de pe social media, această carte ar putea fi exact ce ţi-ar recomanda doctorul.” Bookish

Știi de ce ești singură?

Whether you’re falling for that man child for the fifty-seventh time or text messaging your way to stalker status, dating can make you want to find a nice roomy hermitage on Airbnb and live a solitary, monk-like life. Luckily, that frustration ends now. This Is Why You’re Single breaks away from your typical dating guide by taking a page from Aesop’s playbook with hilarious modern-day dating fables paired with advice, entertaining quizzes, graphs, and illustrations. Dating will feel a whole lot more doable, a little less weird, and, well, actually pretty fun.
