Attica Locke delivers a powerful thriller that
keeps you on the edge of your seat.
This page-turner has impeccable pacing,
noir suspense, and memorable characters. I love a good book, and this one is just
a damn good book! I reached for her backlist to see what else I had
missed.

Yellowface is a satirical masterpiece that hits like a truth
bomb imploding in an author’s literary dreams.
It’s the stuff of nightmares and
heated debates and will have readers taking stock of their own perceptions and
opinions of themselves and others. This read like a much-needed kick in the
backside that did not fall short.

I
love great suspense, and Rachel Caine sucked me in and refused to let me go
with Stillhouse Lake.
The book’s plot was killer (pun intended), and I couldn’t
get enough. I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to reach out to the author to
tell her what I thought and sadly learned that she had passed away. It felt
like I’d lost a literary friend.

With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband's crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace.…

chasing a serial killer…

My baby girl is an aspiring ballerina. Misty Copeland is her dance idol. Firebird is a picture book, and the artwork is spectacular. The language is simplistic, but the message is powerful. Children learn they can do all things with hard work and dedication.

What is this book about?
In her debut picture book Misty Copeland tells the story of a young girl - an every girl - whose confidence is fragile and who is questioning her own ability to reach the heights that Misty has reached. Misty encourages this young girl's faith in herself and shows her exactly how, through hard work and dedication, she too can become Firebird. Lyrical and affecting text paired with bold, striking illustrations that are some of Caldecott Honouree Christopher Myers' best work, makes Firebird perfect for aspiring ballerinas everywhere.
I was nine years old when I first read this book. That was some fifty-plus years ago, and I remember thinking how grown up I was reading a chapter book and how much the story impacted me.
It was about a girl, like me, going through girl things, and suddenly I didn’t feel alone.
My princess is ten, and I hoped she would feel the same way reading the story. She has loved it thus far and is reading it for the second time. It’s just that good.
Meet Margaret. She's going through all the same things most teenage girls have to face; fitting in, friendship and first bras.
Life isn't easy for Margaret. She's moved away from her childhood home, she's starting a new school, finding new friends - and she's convinced she's not normal. For a start she hasn't got a clue whether she wants to be Jewish like her father or Christian like her mother. Everyone else seems really sure of who they are. And, worst of all, she's a 'late developer'. She just knows that all her friends…
