March is Women’s History Month and what better way to celebrate women and how amazing we are than by reading novels and poetry written by women. Here are a few new titles that are available for check out at A.K. Smiley Public Library.
My first suggestion is the poet Rupi Kaur’s newest book of poetry, Love Poems, a compilation of love poems from her previous collections. The poems in this book are heartfelt and filled with yearning. Kaur’s drawings also dance upon the pages of this collection, each drawing reflecting the words of her poems, giving them a unique feeling.
My second selection is Simone St. James’ latest novel, A Box Full of Darkness. The Esmie siblings have been asked to come back home to Fell, New York, by their little brother Ben, but the only thing is, Ben has been missing for two decades. The siblings are ready for closure and answers about what happened to Ben, but being home has conjured something much more sinister. Come and check out this book to see what happens to the Esmie siblings.
My third selection is Dandelion is Dead by Rosie Storey. Dandelion and Jake are dating and things between them are getting pretty serious. The only problem is that Jake thinks the woman he is dating is named Dandelion, but Dandelion is dead; he has actually been dating Poppy, Dandelion’s sister. Come and check out this novel to see if Poppy will tell Jake that she isn’t really the person he thought she was.
