Angrboda's story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who Angrboda is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life—and possibly all of existence—is in danger. With help from the fierce huntress Skadi, with whom she shares a growing bond, Angrboda must choose whether she’ll accept the fate that she's foreseen for her beloved family…or rise to remake their future. From the most ancient of tales this novel forges a story of love, loss, and hope for the modern age."<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />If you would like to join us, borrow the eBook on OverDrive or Sora, or let Ms. C know if you need help getting a print copy from the public library!<br /><br />Join us on <a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/NzI2MjMwODE2N1pa?cjc=4wj2hcp" style="background: transparent; color: #ff9900; text-decoration-line: none;">Google Classroom</a> for more information and the Zoom link for the meeting.

There are predators that come out at night: critters and coyotes, snakes and wolves. But the woman in the red jacket has no choice. Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago. There are worse threats in the woods than the things that stalk their prey at night. Sometimes, there are men. Men with dark desires, weak wills, and evil intents. Men in uniform with classified information, deadly secrets, and unforgiving orders. And sometimes, just sometimes, there's something worse than all of the horrible people and vicious beasts combined. Red doesn't like to think of herself as a killer, but she isn't about to let herself get eaten up just because she is a woman alone in the woods."<br /><br />If you would like to join us, borrow the eBook on OverDrive through the <a href="https://bpl.overdrive.com/search?query=Tell+the+Wolves+I%27m+Home" target="_blank">BPL</a>, or let Ms. C know if you need help getting a print copy from the public library!<br /><br />Join us on <a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/NzI2MjMwODE2N1pa?cjc=4wj2hcp">Google Classroom</a> for more information and the Zoom link for the meeting.

There's only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that's her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finn's company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June's world is turned upside down. But Finn's death brings a surprise acquaintance into June's life—someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart. At Finn's funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finn's apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend time together, June realizes she's not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might be the one she needs the most."<br /><br />If you would like to join us, borrow the eBook or eAudio on OverDrive through <a href="https://soraapp.com/library/masslibma/202898/705879" target="_blank">Sora</a>, <a href="https://cwmars.overdrive.com/cwmars-uxbridge/content/search?query=Tell+the+Wolves+I%27m+Home" target="_blank">C/W MARS</a>, or <a href="https://bpl.overdrive.com/search?query=Tell+the+Wolves+I%27m+Home" target="_blank">BPL</a>!<br /><br />Join us on <a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/NzI2MjMwODE2N1pa?cjc=4wj2hcp">Google Classroom</a> for more information and the Zoom link for the meeting.

Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life.

She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.</span><span style="text-align: center;">"</span><p></p><div>If you would like to join us, borrow the eBook or eAudio on OverDrive through <a href="https://soraapp.com/home" target="_blank">Sora</a>, <a href="https://cwmars.overdrive.com/cwmars-uxbridge/content/search?query=Clockwork%20Angel" target="_blank">C/W MARS</a>, or <a href="https://bpl.overdrive.com/search?query=Clockwork%20Angel">BPL</a>!</div><div><br /></div><div>Book Club will also be suggesting books for second semester at this meeting, so bring ideas for books to read later this year.</div>Ms. Charpentierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10087133621972495018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75460927835875209.post-65073419270299115912020-12-02T08:14:00.008-05:002020-12-02T08:15:13.213-05:00Anime & Manga Club: Monday, December 14, 2:15 - 3:00 PM<p> Join Anime & Manga Club on Zoom on Monday, December 14, at 2:15 PM to check in with everyone and compete in some trivia and drawing games!</p><div>For the Zoom link and additional details about upcoming meetings, interested students should email Ms. Charpentier or join the club's <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/75460927835875209/6544456077168536404#">Google Classroom</a>.

Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them."<div><br /></div><div>If you would like to join us, borrow the eBook or eAudio on OverDrive through <a href="https://cwmars.overdrive.com/cwmars-uxbridge/content/search?query=Clockwork%20Angel" target="_blank">C/W MARS</a> or <a href="https://bpl.overdrive.com/search?query=Clockwork%20Angel">BPL</a>!</div><div><br /></div><div>Join us later this semester to talk about <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53152636-mexican-gothic" target="_blank"><i>Mexican Gothic</i> by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia</a> on Thursday, January 14. </div>Ms. Charpentierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10087133621972495018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75460927835875209.post-60408639371853783442020-11-12T08:43:00.005-05:002020-11-13T11:06:00.877-05:00Anime & Manga Club Meeting: Monday, November 16, 3:00-3:45 PMJoin Anime & Manga Club on Zoom on Monday, November 16, at 3:00 PM to check in with everyone (it's been a while!) and compete for Anime & Manga Kahoot bragging rights.
