New Books for the New Year - January 2016 New Books part 5

Hawkeye vol 5 by Jeff Lemire
Graphic Novel 
With Kate Bishop, his trusted ward and protégé (not titles she would use) back at his side, Team Hawkeye is thrown into an all new adventure spanning two generations of avenging archers. Past and present lives collide as Kate and Clint face a threat that will challenge everything they know about what it means to be Hawkeye.

Hellraisers by Alexander Gordon Smith
Paranormal 
Marlow Green is a high school boy in New York who is always in trouble for vandalism and acting out, until one day he stumbles into the middle of a battle with a demon, and learns about the Devil's Engine--an ancient machine which can grant anything you wish for, in exchange for your soul.

Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan
Contemporary Fiction 
Larger-than-life Tiny Cooper finally gets to tell his story, from his fabulous birth and childhood to his quest for true love and his infamous parade of ex-boyfriends, in the form of a musical he wrote.

Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash
Graphic Novel 
Maggie Thrash has spent basically every summer of her fifteen-year-old life at the one-hundred-year-old Camp Bellflower for Girls, set deep in the heart of Appalachia. She's from Atlanta, she's never kissed a guy, she's into Backstreet Boys in a really deep way, and her long summer days are full of a pleasant, peaceful nothing . . . until one confounding moment. A split-second of innocent physical contact pulls Maggie into a gut-twisting love for an older, wiser, and most surprising of all (at least to Maggie), female counselor named Erin. But Camp Bellflower is an impossible place for a girl to fall in love with another girl, and Maggie's savant-like proficiency at the camp's rifle range is the only thing keeping her heart from exploding. When it seems as if Erin maybe feels the same way about Maggie, it's too much for both Maggie and Camp Bellflower to handle, let alone to understand.

Happy Birthday Melvin Burgess~

Happy birthday MB!  We have the book below by Mr. Burgess, and we also have his newest novel, The Hit on the way for our new books of May!

After running away from their troubled homes, two English teenagers move in with a group of squatters in the port city of Bristol and try to find ways to support their growing addiction to heroin.
Coming in May...

There is a new drug on the mean streets of Manchester which promises the most intense week of your life, and then you are dead--and after he watches a pop star die on stage, Adam thinks that his own life is so miserable that he might just as well try it.
