School for Psychics is the first book in a new series starring a young woman with extraordinary abilities who must decide whether she will use her skills for good—or not.
Teddy Cannon isn’t your typical twenty-something woman. She’s resourceful, bright, scrappy. She’s also psychic. After a series of bad decisions and a run-in with the police, she finds herself at an elite facility where students are trained to use their skills to protect America, and the world.
But just as Teddy feels like she’s found where she belongs, a dangerous mission causes her to question everything…
Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by She Caused a Riot by Hannah Jewell.
When you hear about a woman who was 100% pure and good, you’re missing the best chapters of her life’s story.
She Caused a Riot is an empowering, no-holds-barred look into the epic adventures and dangerous exploits of 100 inspiring women who were too brave, too brilliant, too unconventional, too political, too poor, not ladylike enough and not white enough to be recognized by their contemporaries.
From 3rd-century Syrian queen Zenobia to 20th-century Nigerian women’s rights activist Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, these are women who gave absolutely zero f**ks, and will inspire a courageous new movement of women to do the same.

Combining refreshing candor with self-deprecating wit, this inspiring memoir encourages readers to reach their aspirations despite seemingly impossible odds. Disarmed is the moving story of a young American who volunteered to fight in the Israel Defense Forces, lost his arm in combat, and then returned to the battlefield as the world’s only one-armed Special Forces sharpshooter.
Izzy Ezagui wrote Disarmed with fellow millennials in mind–not necessarily those with military ambitions, but everyone facing life’s battles. His message is universal: if a self-described “nerd” like him can accomplish what he did; anyone can become a hero in their own life.

Sinister and inviting, familiar and alien all at the same time, The Merry Spinster updates traditional children’s stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror, emotional clarity, and a keen sense of feminist mischief.

Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers and her growing feelings for an enemy.
