What's New at the Library - Late January 2019

More new books have just hit our shelves at the Yuma County Library and here are three that we think are definitely worth checking out!


The Fade by Demitria Lunetta: The police consider it a missing person's case. Several years ago, four girls vanished without a trace, and their families have never stopped looking, and hoping they will be found. Hayley knows the girls are dead. Murdered to be precise. She knows, because their spirits have been haunting her for a while now. Except no one will believe her. Just like they won't believe the girls have been warning Hayley that unless she can solve their murders, she will be the next to die.


Sadie by Courtney Summers: Sadie is a teenager responsible for raising her little sister Mattie - until the day Mattie is murdered. Sadie's entire world falls apart that day, and she becomes consumed with trying to find her sister's killer. Meanwhile, radio host West McCray hears about a runaway girl named Sadie, who is presumed to be armed and dangerous. He decides to make it his mission to find Sadie and stop her from doing something she could regret for the rest of her life. Told partly by Sadie and partly in the form of scripts from West McCray's podcast this is a super unique mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.

Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful by Arwen Ellis Dayton: Six different but connected stories that take us from the near future through into a far and distant time. Each story explores what it really means to be be human and how far people are willing to go to achieve physical perfection and immortality by tackling everything from plastic surgery to gene modification. If you like Black Mirror or Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, this one is for you.

What's New at the Library - Early January 2019

Hi everyone! We just received a bunch of awesome new books at the library district and here are just a few of them we definitely recommend you check out!

Broken Lands by Jonathan Maberry: Set in the world of Rot & Ruin this book begins a brand new series set after the zombie apocalypse. When Gabriela "Gutsy" Gomez' mom becomes one of the undead, she realizes there is no such thing as a "quiet life" during a zombie infestation. Meanwhile, we also get to see what Benny Imura and his group has been up to since Rot & Ruin and we learn about their continued quest to find a zombie cure.

The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas: Welcome to the town of Sunnybrook, where it is VERY dangerous to be a cheerleader! It started five years ago when two high school cheerleaders were killed in a car accident. Then, a series of horrible murders and suicides claimed the lives of the rest of the squad. Monica, the sister of the last cheerleader to die, just wants to move on from the tragedy - but when she finds some strange letters in her stepdad's desk, she realizes something very sinister is going on in her town - and her own life might be in danger.



Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann: Alice has the perfect plan to get over her breakup - she's going to spend the entire summer watching TV and going to every all you can eat buffet in town, with a little bit of part-time work at the library to pay the rent. She is 100% definitely, not at all interested in finding love ever again... until she meets Takumi, who makes her feel the kind of butterflies she never thought she could experience.
