Here's what's in assistant librarian Ashley's recently-read pile! The links for each title will take you to our catalog where you can learn more about them (and place a hold if you're one of our cardholders!)
If I Ruled the World by Amy DuBois Barnett
Follow Nikki Rose as she faces challenge after challenge as a journalist in the late 1990's in New York. She is a daring and brave character that proves any challenge can be overcome.
The Only Black Girls in Town by Brandy Colbert
This juvenile fiction title carries a ghostly ambiance as a story within the story unfolds. Main characters Alberta and Eddie uncover the past while overcoming their present.
On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfield
This Southern Gothic title confused, intrigued, and entertained me all at the same time. Jude escapes an abusive past and carries on a very interesting life within a haunted house within the forest.
Bad Seeds by Mary Monroe
Mary Monroe always finds the perfect balance of humor, reality, and fiction. Louise is a very kind and giving person. She is well-to-do, and she attracts the friendship of Della. Throughout the book, it is evident they should be classified more as frenemies as drama unfolds within their story!
