Book Description
Ivy We all knew the Barrens would be difficult to travel through, but I didn’t expect our worst adversaries to be the fae. Their trials to judge the worthiness of humanity have begun, but what exactly are they testing? Will we even know when one has started? Dangers lurk around every corner. Will everyone survive this misadventure? Nothing is guaranteed to work in our favor, especially when your fate is in the hands of the fae. All I want is to live a peaceful life with Damon, whether it’s in Midnight or the real world. Is that too much to ask? Emily My family’s future hinges on the talents of a disgraced geomancer and humanity’s good judgment. What could possibly go wrong? With both Jack and Ivy trapped inside Earth 104, I pray the humans successfully complete their trials. I will do whatever it takes to bring my loved ones into the real world, even if that means marrying the dark fae king. Oberon is my best chance to take leadership of all fae away from my father. His sadistic reign has to be brought to an end for the sake of everyone, fae and human. He won’t give up his power easily. We’ll have to play on his weakness – his own arrogance. Oberon protests that fate has brought us together, and that he’s the love I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Can he help me push past my undying love for Mark once and for all? It seems impossible. In fact, I fear it will take a miracle. If Oberon and I can seize control of the crown away from my father, I’ll know that miracles can and do exist.

Book Description
A powerful illustrated history of the Great Migration and its sweeping impact on Black and American culture, from Reconstruction to the rise of hip hop. Over the course of six decades, an unprecedented wave of Black Americans left the South and spread across the nation in search of a better life--a migration that sparked stunning demographic and cultural changes in twentieth-century America. Through gripping and accessible historical narrative paired with illustrations, author and activist Blair Imani examines the largely overlooked impact of The Great Migration and how it affected--and continues to affect--Black identity and America as a whole. Making Our Way Home explores issues like voting rights, domestic terrorism, discrimination, and segregation alongside the flourishing of arts and culture, activism, and civil rights. Imani shows how these influences shaped America's workforce and wealth distribution by featuring the stories of notable people and events, relevant data, and family histories. The experiences of prominent figures such as James Baldwin, Fannie Lou Hamer, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X), Ella Baker, and others are woven into the larger historical and cultural narratives of the Great Migration to create a truly singular record of this powerful journey.

Book Description
Sixteen-year-old werewolf princess Ashling Boru is different from other wolves--she was able to shift to wolf form at birth. Rather than bringing pride to her family, it brings fear, and as a result, she is forced to live in seclusion in Ireland's countryside. Ashling's reputation is further blackened when she refuses her betrothed and defies the ancient laws. When her pack's oldest rivals begin hunting her, she finds herself in the small town of York Harbor, Maine--far from everything she's ever known. In Maine, she crosses paths with the dark and rebellious Grey Donavan, and something ignites within her soul. There's just one problem: Grey is human. Their instant connection turns into a passionate romance, and Ashling begins to believe she can create her own life outside of wolf laws. When she begins to uncover long-buried pack secrets--secrets that threaten to destroy all she holds dear--Ashling's courage and tenacity are tested. Will she choose her deep and enduring love for Grey, or will she follow Old Mother's path to her destiny?

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort’s own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. It’s an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions—until it all came crashing down. Praise for The Wolf of Wall Street “Raw and frequently hilarious.”—The New York Times “A rollicking tale of [Jordan Belfort’s] rise to riches as head of the infamous boiler room Stratton Oakmont . . . proof that there are indeed second acts in American lives.”—Forbes “A cross between Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese’s GoodFellas . . . Belfort has the Midas touch.”—The Sunday Times (London) “Entertaining as pulp fiction, real as a federal indictment . . . a hell of a read.”—Kirkus Reviews
