Now at the library we have added a few Manga Collection to our Youth section. Here is one set we have added : Fruits Basket Volumes 1 through 12
After a family tragedy turns her life upside down, plucky high
schooler Tohru Honda takes matters into her own hands and moves
out...into a tent! Unfortunately for her, she pitches her new home on
private land belonging to the mysterious Sohma clan, and it isn't long
before the owners discover her secret. But, as Tohru quickly finds out
when the family offers to take her in, the Sohmas have a secret of their
own--when touched by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of
the Chinese Zodiac!

The Flight Attendent by Chris Bohjalian
Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a
binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find
adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives
with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a
Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together,
counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the
airport. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her
already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with.
She sees his dark hair. His utter stillness. And blood, a slick, still
wet pool on the crisp white sheets.
Afraid to call the
police—she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home—Cassie
begins to lie. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and
pilots in the van. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first
class cabin. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the
gate. Soon it's too late to come clean-or face the truth about what
really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who
did?
Set amid the captivating world of those whose lives unfold at forty thousand feet, The Flight Attendant
unveils a spellbinding story of memory, of the giddy pleasures of
alcohol and the devastating consequences of addiction, and of murder far
from home.
