New Reads at the JPWL!
Chicka Chicka Tricka Treat by Julien Chung
The classic alphabet chant gets a Halloween twist as the letters sneak their way up the tree, all donning their spiffiest costumes. But when a witch swoops in, and the letters come tumbling down, will that be the end of their Halloween fun…or just the beginning? (Simon Schuster)
The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy
An era-defining novel about five Black women over the course of their twenty-year friendship, as they move through the dizzying and sometimes precarious period between young adulthood and midlife—in the much-anticipated second book from National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy (HarperCollins).
Being Here: Prayers for Curiosity, Justice, and Love by Pádraig ÓTuama
In Being Here, acclaimed poet and theologian Pádraig ÓTuama offers a thoughtful collection of prayers and essays to focus attention in a world full of distractions. Featuring 31 collects – an ancient five-fold form of prayer – this unconventional devotional invites readers into a daily rhythm of connection and creativity (Eerdman’s Publishing).
