Francesca Lia Block has been writing dark and beautiful tales for many years and Pretty Dead is no different. It is a quick read with great characters and a lot of twists and turns. It has all the elements that you look for in a great supernatural story, a powerful characters, Block's take on vampire lore, romance, and back stabbing best friends.

Splendor



Splendor is the fourth and final installment of Anna Godbersen's Luxe series. If you like teen dramas like 90210 and Gossip Girl but you want something with a little substance AND you are interested in New York City at the turn of the 20th century, then this is the series for you. The saga is very exciting and dramatic with interesting characters, both pure hearted and scheming. Its historical, but not dry. And its just long enough to keep you entertained inside, away from New York's bitter cold!


Splendor is now available in the Muhlenberg Branch, but make sure you star with The Luxe, the story of a wealthy family, secret romances, reluctant betrothal and a fake death.

If you are free Thursday afternoon, definitely make the trip! We also have a special Ellen Hopkins display here at the Muhlenberg library, so you can check out her books, and books with similar themes.
