Book Description
Hairstylists make cutting hair look easy. So easy that many of us have tried to do it—on ourselves or someone else—and failed miserably. Forget about bangs, how do they create layers, the right shade of lilac, or balayage? What even is balayage? Aren’t all scissors the same? What Scissors Taught Me reveals little-known facts about hairstyling and yes, even scissors. This memoir is about intricacies and intimacies, connection and challenges. Author Denise Létienne recounts stories filled with joy, humour, patience, and adventure. As many clients often divulge their most personal moments with their hairstylist, Létienne cherishes these relationships and offers her own stories in return. Love is at the heart of this memoir dedicated to paying tribute to her many clients, colleagues, and family. Anyone looking for a light, feel-good read will delight in Létienne’s accounts and anecdotes of her many years in the service industry. While you may not know the author, the way she writes will make you feel like you’re having a conversation with an old friend. Through humour and ease, What Scissors Taught Me will give you a different perspective next time you sit down in a hairstylist’s chair.

A New York college student must rescue her love from a bizarre fate as evil threatens her world in this contemporary fantasy trilogy finale. Three months have passed since Finn’s beloved Jack traded his life for her sister’s, walking into the underworld to take Lily’s place. No one speaks of the Fata these days; everyone is pretending everything is normal. But Finn cannot forget. And when she makes a daring odyssey into the world of the dead to bring Jack back, she inadvertently opens a dangerous fissure, giving the dead access to the true world. With the lines between worlds more blurred than ever, Finn’s friend Moth returns from Sombrus, the magical house once owned by Seth Lot, with terrible news: Something evil—something that resembles Jack—has escaped Sombrus. Now Fair Hollow is at risk from this Jack-like creature that will not stop until it gets what it wants . . . and it wants Finn.
