MISADVENTURES OF

AWKWARD BLACK GIRL

by Issa Rae 

The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae is a hilarious, honest collection of personal essays about growing up as an introverted Black girl who never quite fits the script other people expect for her.

"One of literature’s most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they’re destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them. Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language."

"From the New York Times bestselling author comes a timely and gripping social-suspense novel about book banning, activism, and standing up for what you believe. At school, Noor discovers hundreds of books have been labeled 'obscene' or 'pornographic' and are being removed from the library in accordance with a new school board policy. Even worse, virtually all the banned books are by queer and BIPOC authors."

HOW MUCH LAND

DOES A MAN NEED?

by Leo Tolstoy

The story of a hardworker whose wish for stability gradually shifts into an ever-expanding appetite for more property and status. Told with fable-like clarity and biting irony, the story delivers a powerful critique of greed and self-deception.
