Dead Girls Can't Tell Secrets
Chelsea Ichaso
A gripping new psychological thriller from the author of Little Creeping Thingsâcan a grieving girl discover the twisted truth behind her sisterâs hiking accident?
Piper Sullivan never should have been at Suicide Point the day she fell. Her older sister, Savannah, knows this with all her heartâjust as she knows that Piperâs âaccidentâ was entirely her fault. Savannah did something awful, something she can barely stand to think about, and now Piper is in a coma.
But just as Savannahâs guilt threatens to swallow her whole, she finds something strange in Piperâs locker: a note inviting Piper to a meeting of their schoolâs wilderness clubâŚat the very place and on the very day she fell. Which means that thereâs a chance Piper wasnât alone.
Maybe it isnât Savannahâs fault, after all. Someone in the club might know what really happened. Someone might have done something. But why? If Savannah wants to find out the truth about that tragic day, sheâll have to join the club on their weekend long camping tripâŚon the very same mountain where her sister fell. And with everyone in the club a suspect, sheâll need to be careful or she might follow her sister into the dark.

Darius the Great Is Not Okay (Darius The Great, #1)
Adib Khorram
Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran.
Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's about to take his first-ever trip to Iran, and it's pretty overwhelmingâespecially when he's also dealing with clinical depression, a disapproving dad, and a chronically anemic social life. In Iran, he gets to know his ailing but still formidable grandfather, his loving grandmother, and the rest of his mom's family for the first time. And he meets Sohrab, the boy next door who changes everything.
Sohrab makes sure people speak English so Darius can understand what's going on. He gets Darius an Iranian National Football Team jersey that makes him feel like a True Persian for the first time. And he understands that sometimes, best friends don't have to talk. Darius has never had a true friend before, but now he's spending his days with Sohrab playing soccer, eating rosewater ice cream, and sitting together for hours in their special place, a rooftop overlooking the Yazdi skyline.
Sohrab calls him Darioushâthe original Persian version of his nameâand Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab. When it's time to go home to America, he'll have to find a way to be Darioush on his own.

Borrowing books from the library
Hello everyone I come to you all today with a very important question. How many books is too many to borrow from the library? Does your library have a limit to the amount of books you can check out? Do you borrow from multiple libraries?
For me personally, when I'm on a reading roll I usually borrow 4-6 books if I pass through the doors of the library. Even if I still have books at home. I am greedy. The "new releases" shelf is at the entrance. It calls to me. I read fast though so if I finish a book I return it ASAP, and usually try to return at least 2 at a time. HOWEVER I also have Libby on the go, for two libraries! And when those Libby holds come in.... oh boy. I think the most I've ever had at one time in recent years is maybe... 10 books, both physical and ebooks, just from the library. I cannot even begin to talk about the books I own. Anyways this came to mind because one of my Libby holds expired but I didn't finish reading it, but my library got a physical copy recently! But I am making myself finish at least one other library book before I go pick it up. Currently, I have 2 ebooks, and 6 physical books. I have overwhelmed myself LOL
Editing to add that I wrote this instead of finishing my book so I gotta get to that now haha......

Defy the Night (Defy the Night, #1)
Brigid Kemmerer
The kingdom of Kandala is on the brink of disaster. Rifts between sectors have only worsened since a sickness began ravaging the land, and within the Royal Palace, the king holds a tenuous peace with a ruthless hand.
King Harristan was thrust into power after his parents' shocking assassination, leaving the younger Prince Corrick to take on the brutal role of the King's Justice. The brothers have learned to react mercilessly to any sign of rebellion--it's the only way to maintain order when the sickness can strike anywhere, and the only known cure, an elixir made from delicate Moonflower petals, is severely limited.
Out in the Wilds, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade is tired of seeing her neighbors die, their suffering ignored by the unyielding royals. Every night, she and her best friend Wes risk their lives to steal Moonflower petals and distribute the elixir to those who need it most--but it's still not enough.
As rumors spread that the cure no longer works and sparks of rebellion begin to flare, a particularly cruel act from the King's Justice makes Tessa desperate enough to try the impossible: sneaking into the palace. But what she finds upon her arrival makes her wonder if it's even possible to fix Kandala without destroying it first.
