Book Description
A rising R&B superstar with a supportive boyfriend, wonderful friends, and the life she's always dreamed of, Myria has it all. What else does she have? A secret that could possibly unravel the life she's worked so hard to create. Just when everything couldn't get any more perfect, an old friend boards a plane to Miami to remind Myria that it's never right to forget where you came from. Will Myria be able to face her inner demons, or will they destroy her love and happiness? In a strange twist of fate, Janelle finds herself back in sunny Jamaica and embarking on a new journey with the handsome Donovan Copeland. With the idea of falling in love and living happily ever after becoming a bright possibility, Janelle has to face a few of her own demons. The biggest one? The secret that caused her to seek revenge on Dom. Will she be able to mend her broken heart, or will the Ice Queen, Janelle, decide that her throne is more important? With his mental health at 100%, the King of Miami, Dom Haveras has the loving Myria by his side and Miami in the palm of his hand. Life is sweet, but it suddenly turns sour when the Ice Queen makes a snow filled return, promising to wreak havoc on him because of a common secret they share. Knowing that no love is lost between himself and Janelle, Dom finds it hard to convince a skeptical Myria when him and Janelle find themselves in an awkward situation. After proving to Myria that Janelle is nothing but a piece of the past, Dom realizes that the problem isn't whether or not he's ready to be Myria's King. It's if she's ready to be his Queen? With secrets threatening to spill from left and right, Myria and Janelle find unsuspecting allies in one another, with each twin saving the other more times then they'll ever be able to repay. However, despite playing on the same team, each woman has her own reservations. For Janelle, it's whether or not Myria will be able to accept her for who she truly is. And what Myria wants to know is simple. Will Janelle always be Grimey?

Book Description
An explosive insider account of grime, from subculture to international phenomenon. ***** A group of kids in the 2000s had a dream to make their voice heard - and this book documents their seminal impact on today's pop culture. DJ Target grew up in Bow under the shadow of Canary Wharf, with money looming close on the skyline. The 'Godfather of Grime' Wiley and Dizzee Rascal first met each other in his bedroom. They were all just grime kids on the block back then, and didn't realise they were to become pioneers of an international music revolution. A movement that permeates deep into British culture and beyond. Household names were borne out of those housing estates, and the music industry now jumps to the beat of their gritty reality rather than the tune of glossy aspiration. Grime has shaken the world and Target is revealing its explosive and expansive journey in full, using his own unique insight and drawing on the input of grime's greatest names.

Book Description
Alisa Valdés-Rodríguez's vibrant, can't-put-it-down novel of six friends--each one an unforgettable Latina woman in her late '20s--and the complications and triumphs in their lives Inseparable since their days at Boston University almost ten years before, six friends form the Dirty Girls Social Club, a mutual support and (mostly) admiration society that no matter what happens to each of them (and a lot does), meets regularly to dish, dine and compare notes on the bumpy course of life and love. Las sucias are: --Lauren, the resident "caliente" columnist for the local paper, which advertises her work with the line "her casa is su casa, Boston," but whose own home life has recently involved hiding in her boyfriend's closet to catch him in the act --Sara, the perfect wife and mother who always knew exactly the life she wanted and got it, right down to the McMansion in the suburbs and two boisterious boys, but who is paying a hefty price --Amber, the most idealistic and artistic member of the club, who was raised a valley girl without a word of Spanish and whose increasing attachment to her Mexica roots coincides with a major record label's interest in her rock 'n' roll --Elizabeth, the stunning black Latina whose high profile job as a morning television anchor conflicts with her intensely private personal life, which would explain why the dates the other dirty girls set her up on never work out --Rebecca, intense and highly controlled, who flawlessly runs Ella, the magazine she created for Latinas, but who can't explain why she didn't understand the man she married and now doesn't even share a room with; and --Usnavys, irrepressible and larger than life, whose agenda to land the kind of man who can keep her in Manolo Blahniks and platanos almost prevents her seeing true love when it lands in her lap. There's a lot of catching up to do.

Book Description
Marian Engel emerged as a writer during that period in Canada when nationalism increased and “new feminism” dawned. Although she is recognized as a distinguished woman of letters, she has not been widely studied; consequently we know relatively little about her and her craft. The material collected in Marian Engel’s Notebooks: “Ah, mon cahier, écoute...” is a major step in redressing that neglect. Extracts carefully chosen by Christl Verduyn from Marian Engel’s forty-nine notebooks — notebooks Engel began in the late 1940s and which she maintained until her death in 1985 — track Engel’s creative development, illustrate her commitment to the craft of writing and document her growth as a major Canadian writer. The notebooks also portray Engel’s surprising leaps of logic, her fascination with the bizarre, the eclecticism of her reading and the depth and variety of her thinking. Finally, they present moving documentation of a woman facing cancer and early death. Christl Verduyn’s illuminating introductory discussions to each of the notebooks unobtrusively guide us in the reading of these sometimes difficult writings. Marian Engel’s Notebooks: “Ah, mon cahier, écoute...” leaves readers with a vivid sense of Canadian culture during the 1960s and 1970s. It provides insight into the literary life of one of Canada’s significant woman writers, including her connections with other Canadian writers, and will be of special interest to scholars working in the field of literature.
