Download or read book Xiomara written by Dakota Light and published by Dakota Light. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xiomara has no problem getting what she wants when it comes to her career. Love, on the other hand, is not so simple. It doesn't help that her mother tells her men aren't worth the trouble, and if she wants to keep one around she'll need to lose weight. Somewhere along the way, she forgot *not* to fall in love with the situation, Ray Burnham. When he turns out to be a huge disappointment, Xiomara has a hard time ignoring her mother's words. Getting involved with Malcolm Graves would break Rule #1: Men at work are off-limits. Besides, he doesn't seem like the type to go for thick-with-two-c's women like Xiomara, and he's a little rude. But when they get close, he confesses he's fallen for her. Hard. And he confesses that in his drive to secure the bag, he betrayed Xiomara to her boss. Malcolm asks for her forgiveness and a second try, and Xiomara must choose: have the love she's always wanted with him or give herself the love she deserves. Photo by Jessica Felicio on Unsplash.

Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, the Michael L. Printz Award, and the Pura Belpré Award! Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. “Crackles with energy and snaps with authenticity and voice.” —Justina Ireland, author of Dread Nation “An incredibly potent debut.” —Jason Reynolds, author of the National Book Award Finalist Ghost “Acevedo has amplified the voices of girls en el barrio who are equal parts goddess, saint, warrior, and hero.” —Ibi Zoboi, author of American Street This young adult novel, a selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List, is an excellent choice for accelerated tween readers in grades 6 to 8.

Book excerpt: Maxine has everything she wants for one weekend. An exclusive, two-week artist residency in her future, and the man who adores her, Isaiah Moyawa, in bed. For the first time in her life, she sees a path to her dream of becoming an artist. Except she’ll be a starving artist because when she asks for the time off at work, she gets an ultimatum: drop the art or lose the day job. Isaiah says it's time for them to take the next step. She can move in with him and he'll support her with his millions while she pursues her dream. She puts her major trust issues aside, even though Isaiah keeps declining phone calls from his mother, and despite breaking her Rule #1: Never rely on a man to do for you what you can do for yourself. Declined phone calls escalate to Maxine. When his mother shows up at their home with an agenda, and with the woman claiming to be eight months pregnant with Isaiah's child, Maxine must learn what it means to trust herself before she can trust the love of her life.

Download or read book Now When written by Sara Bennett Wealer and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Jenny Han and Christine Riccio comes a romantic dramedy about a teen girl who stumbles upon a mysterious website that tells her everything she doesn't want to know about her future. There's something about Truman Alexander that Skyler Finch finds incredibly annoying. Actually, several things: his voice (grating), his arrogance (total know-it-all), his debate-team obsession (eyeroll), and his preppy vibe (does he iron his shorts?). She does her best to avoid him and focus on the important stuff: friends, school, and her boyfriend, Eli. His promposal was perfect--just like he is--and the future is looking bright. Or is it? For some unexplainable reason, Skylar's phone is sending her notifications from the future . . . a future in which, to her horror, she appears to be with Truman. As in, romantically. As in, Skyler cannot let that happen. But trying to change the future means messing up the present, and what Skyler sees keeps shifting. Classmates disappear and reappear, swap partners and futures. Turns out there are no actions without reactions, and life doesn't come with a road map. But sometimes the wandering leads you exactly where you need to be, and people--like glitchy phones--are full of surprises.
Download or read book Legendborn written by Tracy Deonn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Instant New York Times Bestseller! Winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy reinvents the King Arthur legend and “braids together Southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power, and self-discovery” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles). After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw. The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates. She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.
Download or read book Conquer Yourself written by Xiomara Mayo Ingram and published by Emotional Café. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Who are you?” and “Who Do You Want To Be?”. Throughout life, we will encounter others who would take it upon themselves to answer these questions on our behalf. These two questions, however, are the sole responsibility of each and every individual; including you and me. It is up to each of us to point a finger at our own lives, our own choices, actions, and efforts; to reach deep inside and shine a light on who we see in the mirror. No one is responsible for our actions or our outcomes but ourselves. "Conquer Yourself" is the compilation of some personal experiences shaped to illustrate the various ways in which we can cope with life and the many situations that arise. In these readings we share our learning experiences. Some have been straightforward and quick to learn, while others have turned out to be long and certainly painful. But with each one, we have grown and found our way to self-actualization.

Book excerpt: Rumors circulate that the old McPherson place a couple of miles outside of Framingham, Connecticut, is haunted. But one summer day, fourteen-year-old Laura Mueller and her three friends summon the courage to go there. Just because old man McPherson committed suicide there a couple of years ago at age ninety-three doesn't mean it's been overtaken by ghosts. But Laura has no idea what the old house has in store for her in the future, and it's not going to be a pleasant experience. That house, which haunts unsuspecting young women when they are the most vulnerable, chooses Laura to receive its horrific powers. Worse, it waits until the opportune time--years later, when she's married and is expecting her first child. When she is seven months pregnant, Laura is summoned back to the old McPherson place by some mysterious and evil force. Held captive in a strange place, she wonders if she'll ever find her way back to her former life.

Now, it seems, the demon has come for Iris. When Iris is captured and imprisoned with other possessed girls, Milla leaves home to rescue her and break the curse forever. Her only company on the journey is a terrible new secret of her own: Milla is changing, too, and may soon be a demon herself. Suspenseful and vividly imagined, The Cold Is in Her Bones is a novel about the dark, reverberating power of pain, the yearning to be seen and understood, and the fragile optimism of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author of POET X comes a story of a girl with talent, pride and a little bit of magic that keeps her fire burning bright. Ever since she got pregnant during freshman year, Emoni Santiago’s life has been about making the tough decisions, doing what has to be done for her daughter and her abuela. The one place she can let all that go is in the kitchen. There, she lets her hands tell her what to cook, listening to her intuition and adding a little something magical every time, turning her food into straight-up goodness. Even though she’s always dreamed of working in a kitchen after she graduates, Emoni knows that it’s not worth her time to pursue the impossible. But then an opportunity presents itself to not only enrol in a culinary arts class in her high school, but also to travel abroad to Spain for an immersion program. Emoni knows that her decisions post high school have to be practical ones, but despite the rules she’s made for her life — and everyone else’s rules that she refuses to play by — once Emoni starts cooking, her only choice is to let her talent break free.
Download or read book Blue Talk and Love written by Mecca Jamilah Sullivan and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-wining collection Blue Talk and Love tells the stories of girls and women of color navigating the moods and mazes of urban daily life. Set in various enclaves of New York City — including the middle-class Hamilton Heights section of Harlem, the black queer social world of the West Village, the Spanish-speaking borderland between Harlem and Washington Heights, and historic Tin Pan Alley — the collection uses magic realism, historical fiction, satire and more to highlight young black women's inner lives. The storylines range widely: a big-bodied teenage girl from Harlem discovers her sexuality in the midst of racial tensions at her Upper East Side school; four young women from Newark, New Jersey, are charged with assaulting the man who threatens to rape them; a pair of conjoined black female twins born into slavery, make their fame as stage performers in the Big City. In each story, the characters push past what is expected of them, learning to celebrate their voices and their lives. In honor of Mecca Sullivan’s being named the recipient of the 2018 Judith A. Markowitz Lambda Award as an emerging LGBTQ writer, Riverdale Avenue Books has released a second edition of her acclaimed collection for which the Lambda judges called Sullivan, "An essential writer of our present moment.” "We are so proud of Mecca for receiving this prestigious award. She made her fiction debut with Riverdale Avenue Books five years ago, when we were both new to the literary scene, and we are publishing an updated second edition with the wonderful quote from Ntozake Shange on the cover to commemorate this achievement,” said Publisher Lori Perkins.
