Black girls must have it all: A novel (Black Girls Must Die Exhausted #3)
Par Jayne Allen. 2023
In this final installment in the acclaimed Black Girls Must Die Exhausted trilogy, Tabitha is juggling work, relationships, and a…
newborn baby—but will she find the happy ending she's always wanted? After a whirlwind year, Tabitha Walker's carefully organized plan to achieve the life she wanted—perfect job, dream husband, and stylish home—has gone off the rails. Her checklist now consists of diapers changed (infinite), showers taken (zero), tears cried (buckets), and hours of sleep (what's that?). Don't get her wrong, Tabby loves her new bundle of joy and motherhood is perhaps the only thing that's consistent for her these days. When the news station announces that they will be hiring outside competitors for the new anchor position, Tabby throws herself into her work. But it's not just maintaining her position as the station's weekend anchor that has her worried. All of her relationships seem to be shifting out of their regular orbits. Best friend Alexis can't manage to strike the right balance in her "refurbished" marriage with Rob, and Laila's gone from being a consistent ride-or-die to a newly minted entrepreneur trying to raise capital for her growing business. And when Marc presents her with an ultimatum about their relationship, coupled with an extended "visit" from his mother, Tabby is forced to take stock of her life and make a new plan for the future. Consumed by work, motherhood, and love, Tabby finds herself isolated from her friends and family just when she needs them most. But help is always there when you ask for it, and Tabby's village will once again rally around her as she comes to terms with her new life and faces her biggest challenge yet—choosing herself![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/tp/tpOyvbYQzVOZqkny2ztdLk6JpUuKipgFWFA3dgYIOmw-SMALL.jpg)

Par Sarina Bowen. 2020
"Dylan is my best friend, and the only person in my life who understands me. He doesn't mind my social…
awkwardness or my weird history. The only glitch? He doesn't know that I've been hopelessly, desperately in love with him since the first day we picked apples together in his family's orchard. But I know better than to confess. Now that we're both in college together, I'm seeing a new side of him. College Dylan drinks and has a lot of sex. None of it with me. Until the night I foolishly ask him to tutor me in more than algebra...and he actually says yes. But the cool morning light shows me how badly I've endangered our friendship. And I don't know if anything will be the same again." -- Provided by publisher![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)

The sweet spot: A novel
Par Amy Poeppel. 2023
Amy Poeppel brings her signature "big-hearted, charming" ( The Washington Post ) style to this wise and joyful novel that…
celebrates love, hate, and all of the glorious absurdity in between. In the heart of Greenwich Village, three women form an accidental sorority when a baby—belonging to exactly none of them—lands on their collective doorstep. Lauren and her family—lucky bastards—have been granted the use of a spectacular brownstone, teeming with history and dizzyingly unattractive 70s wallpaper. Adding to the home's bohemian, grungy splendor is the bar occupying the basement, a (mostly) beloved dive called The Sweet Spot. Within days of moving in, Lauren discovers that she has already made an enemy in the neighborhood by inadvertently sparking the divorce of a couple she has never actually met. Melinda's husband of thirty years has dumped her for a young celebrity entrepreneur named Felicity, and, to Melinda's horror, the lovebirds are soon to become parents. In her incandescent rage, Melinda wreaks havoc wherever she can, including in Felicity's Soho boutique, where she has a fit of epic proportions, which happens to be caught on film. Olivia—the industrious twenty-something behind the counter, who has big dreams and bigger debt—gets caught in the crossfire. In an effort to diffuse Melinda's temper, Olivia has a tantrum of her own and gets unceremoniously canned, thanks to TikTok. When Melinda's ex follows his lover across the country, leaving their squalling baby behind, the three women rise to the occasion in order to forgive, to forget, to Ferberize, and to track down the wayward parents. But can their little village find a way toward the happily ever afters they all desire? Welcome to The Sweet Spot![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/A3/A3lbeslLvmiADWZE8PiLmjau9H6uRultMgskZPeaYdY-SMALL.jpg)
The grip
Par Marcus Stroman. 2023
In this first book in the semi-autobiographical middle grade series from MLB pitcher Marcus Stroman, a young baseball player learns…
that perfect games only come with a lot of practice—and some strikeouts. Young Marcus Stroman is determined to make it to the highest playing level he can, despite every coach telling him he's not tall enough to become a "real" pitcher. He'll show them...with some struggling and a whole lot of learning. It's easy to forget that for every professional sports player there was a kid just learning that sport, dealing with nerves during try-outs, dropping the ball when all their teammates are counting on them, and learning how to stay friends with someone who doesn't make the team. These hard lessons are universal whether in the majors or on a school playing field, and so are teamwork, competition, and believing in yourself![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)

El corazón de hielo (Triple amenaza #03)
Par Lis W Wiehl. 2011
"At first glance, the crimes appear random. Arson. Theft. Fraud. Murder. But these are more than random crimes. They're moves…
in an increasingly deadly game. And the one element they have in common: a woman who is gorgeous, clever... and lethal. Elizabeth Avery has a winsome smile and flawless figure, but underneath is a heart of ice. She's a master manipulator, convincing strangers to do the unthinkable. And she orchestrates it all without getting too close. Until now. When Elizabeth ruthlessly disposes of an inquisitive young reporter, her crime catches the attention of Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, and crime reporter Cassidy Shaw. They know they're dealing with a cold-blooded murderer who could strike at any time. What they don't know is that they're already on a first-name basis with the killer. And one of them may be next on her list." -- Goodreads
