Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater

On the day of an important music competition, talented but painfully introverted and nervous Deirdre Monaghan is helped to perform by the compelling and enigmatic Luke Dillon and finds herself inexorably drawn into the mysteries and dangers of the faerieworld.

I've been reading about this book for several weeks/months and I was so excited when it came in that I put it in my bag to read while I was in St. Louis last weekend. Turns out it was an excellent choice, this book was full of romance, suspense, magic, best friends, some seriously scary faeries, and even some funny bits. Deirdre plays the harp (who plays the harp? Awesome), but she has horrible stage fright, right before a big competition she meets up with the mysterious and super-hot Luke and learns that she is a Clover Hand--someone who is able to see faeries. On top of this her awful aunt is in town and the Faerie Queen is out to get her. Deirdre is a great character, she's smart and funny and though she's overwhelmed about all the crazy stuff that's happening to her she doesn't whine and complain about it, she does something about it. All in all, a great book.

DFTBA!

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda
