111 places in Montreal that you must not miss / by McInnis, Kaitlyn,author.; Livingstone, Bethany,photographer.;
Montreal is so much more than its old world architecture and love of wine and cheese. The Quebecois metropolis is bursting with enough joie de vivre to make just about anyone want to get out and explore its cobblestoned and pothole-ridden streets -- and true Montrealers know that the city has its own unique identity and quirks that place it in a league all its own. Spend a wine-fueled cinq à sept with a ghost at the city's oldest bar. Get up close and personal with a life-like portrayal of Benito Mussolini. And go skating in the middle of the downtown core -- any time of the year. This guide comes as a love letter to Canada's largest French-speaking city and everything it has to offer its residents and travelers. Visiting and full-time Montrealers alike will be pleasantly surprised by what can be discovered beyond the cobblestone and steeples if only you're willing to take the side streets.

All I want for Christmas / by Swan, Karen(Writer),author.;
Christmas in Copenhagen is an utterly magical time of year. There are charming Christmas markets, carol singing on the canals, ice skating in the parks, and cozy cafes to shelter from the early snow. Darcy Cotterell is not feeling remotely festive. Newly single, she's not even going home for Christmas but will instead spend the holiday finishing her PhD. Her best friend, Freja, has other ideas though and convinces Darcy to sign up to an upmarket dating site where she can meet Copenhagen's most eligible bachelors. Freja is determined that Darcy won't be lonely this Christmas and gets her to agree to match with three potential dates. Then Darcy is given the job of solving a new, intriguing art mystery: an unknown portrait by Denmark's greatest painter has been found beneath another masterpiece and she must discover the identity of the woman in the painting. During her research, she encounters sexy, arrogant lawyer Max Lorensen - who also happens to be bachelor number one. The attraction is instant but there are two problems: Max is clearly a player and, while the chemistry between them is hard to ignore, they also need to work together whatever happens.

Three girls from Bronzeville : a uniquely American memoir of race, fate, and sisterhood / by Turner, Dawn,author.;
"The three girls formed an indelible bond: roaming their community in search of hidden treasures for their "Thing Finder box," and hiding under the dining room table, eavesdropping as three generations of relatives gossiped and played the numbers. The girls spent countless afternoons together, ice skating in the nearby Lake Meadows apartment complex, swimming in the pool at the Ida B. Wells housing project, and daydreaming of their futures: Dawn a writer, Debra a doctor, Kim a teacher. Then they came to a precipice, a fraught rite of passage for all girls when the dangers and the harsh realities of the world burst the innocent bubble of childhood, when the choices they made could-- and would-- have devastating consequences. There was a razor thin margin of error -- especially for brown girls. With a keen investigative eye and intimate detail, Dawn chronicles the dramatic turns that send their lives careening in very different -- and shocking -- directions over the decades. The result is a powerful tour de force on the complex interplay of race and opportunity, class and womanhood and how those forces shape our lives and our capacity for resilience and redemption"--

Everybody says it's everything : a novel / by Aliu, Xhenet,1978-author.;
"Growing up in Connecticut with their adoptive mother, Jackie, twins Drita and Petrit (aka Pete), had no connection to their Albanian heritage and knew nothing about where they came from. Their American lives were all about the Barbie doll that Drita wanted from the mall, and roller skating at the local rink. The twins were as close as could be. But in their teenage years, their paths diverged; Drita was a good girl with good grades and good manners who was going to go to a good college, Pete was a bad boy who had a baby with an addict and was going nowhere fast. Even their twinhood was not enough to keep them together. Fast forward to their twenties: Jackie has suffered a stroke, and Drita has abandoned her graduate study at Columbia University to move home and take care of her mother, giving up all her dreams for the future in the name of family obligation. She hasn't heard from Pete in three years. Then Pete's girlfriend Shanda and their son show up unexpectedly without him, and Drita discovers that he's fallen in with a guerrilla group of Albanian immigrants in the Bronx supplying the war in Kosovo with weapons and fighters. She becomes determined to bring him back into the family-but what she learns about their Albanian roots and Jackie's past threatens to tear them apart for good"--
