23 Times Little My Was The Sassiest Damn Woman

“Sorry Moomin. Didn’t know it was you, thought it was a pig.”

When she'd had enough of Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden's mushy chit chat.

When she refused to settle for any old job.

"When I grow up, I'm going to become a pirate." The joys of motherhood didn't interest Little My, and she probably knew the facts of life anyway.

And encouraged everything around her to dream big too.

When she didn't have time for Moomin's negativity.

"Don't whine. It's enough when the wine whines."

“What the duck, Juliet! Ugh, autocorrect!”

Do you like Shakespeare but feel his texts are lacking a certain something in their relevance to the modern world?

The books are trying to explain the plot to younger readers and act as handy primers on what's going on throughout the plays.

Inevitably, the Daily Mail found an academic who described the books as "absolutely disastrous".

But are they any good? We read YOLO Juliet to find out.

Emmett Perkins and Jack Santo were the kind of bad guys even bad guys didn't like. They went on a killing spree near Sacramento, slaughtering a local family for $6,000 in grocery store receipts: dad, mum, three kids, all dumped in the boot of the dad's car. Then they murdered an old lady called Mabel Monohan who was rumoured to keep $100,000 in her house for when she needed bail out her gambler son-in-law. They invaded her home wearing masks (modelled above by a cop), failed to find $100,000, murdered her anyway. When the manhunt went public, informants were numerous: everyone wanted to grass up Emmett Perkins and Jack Santo.
