Caped and Dangerous by Isabel Jordan, 189 pages

 Being a superhero is not all it's cracked up to be

Saving the day is sometimes the last thing Greer Glenanne wants to do. But as her city's official superhero, she really doesn't have much of a choice. It doesn't matter that she's forty-six, grumpy, and annoyed by most of the population. She'll catch whatever criminals she needs to catch because that's the gig. Next up on her to-catch list?

Killian Morgan.

He's stupid-hot, way too charming for her liking, a decade younger than her, potentially a supervillain...and he flirts with her mercilessly.

How's a superhero supposed to do her job when she can't seem to keep her mind (and hands) off the bad guy?

A Newberry Halloween selected Martin H. Greenberg & Charles G. Waugh, 189 pages

 Young Neil Boyd has just finished divinity school and has been newly ordained as a priest. His first post? St. Jude’s parish, a corner of London with a raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants. The flock is an odd pairing with the gentle Father Boyd, but he just might be both mad enough and tender enough to get through to them.

 
Later adapted into a beloved British sitcom, Bless Me, Father is a humorous and sweet-natured look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Joining Boyd is the cantankerous, scheming, and brilliant Father Duddleswell, a man who is willing to do anything to make sure the Lord’s will be done, and Mrs. Pring, the sharp-tongued housekeeper who both coddles and cajoles her priestly family of two. If the church needs money, Duddleswell will place a bet to get it. If a Catholic wants to marry a Protestant . . . well, maybe he won’t go that far.
 
Father Neil’s adventures with his parishioners are sure to delight readers of all creeds.

Bad For You: Exposing the War on Fun by Kevin Pyle & Scott Cunningham, 189 pages

I came across this in the teen department, and it's an expose/tongue in cheek look at the stupid things adults try to prevent children from having or doing in the name of keeping them safe. Covering topics such as the comic book code, playground safety, and zero tolerance laws, it kind of gives you the impression that adults are idiots a lot of times.
