Tangleroot
by Kalela WilliamsThe INDIES INTRODUCE and INDIE NEXT debut YA novel about blood and family that is both history and mystery.Noni Reid has grown up in the shadow of her mother, Dr. Radiance Castine, renowned scholar of Black literature, who is alarmingly perfect at just about everything. When Dr. Castine takes a job as the president of the prestigious Stonepost College in rural Virginia, Noni is forced to leave her New England home and, most importantly, a prime internship and her friends. She and her mother move into the “big house” on Tangleroot Plantation. Tangleroot was built by one of Noni’s ancestors, an enslaved man named Cuffee Fortune—who Dr. Castine believes was also the original founder of Stonepost College, and that the school was originally formed for Black students. Dr. Castine spends much of her time trying to piece together enough undeniable truth in order to change the name of the school in Cuffee’s honor—and to force the university to reckon with its own racist past. Meanwhile, Noni hates everything about her new home, but finds herself morbidly fascinated by the white, slaveholding family who once lived in it. Slowly, she begins to unpeel the layers of sinister history that envelop her Virginia town, her mother’s workplace, her ancestry—and her life story as she knew it. Through it all, she must navigate the ancient prejudices of the citizens in her small town, and ultimately, she finds herself both affirming her mother’s position and her own—but also discovering a secret that changes everything.

Tarde o temprano nos abrazaremos
by Antonio Dikele DistefanoTarde o temprano nos abrazaremos es la nueva novela del último gran fenómeno de la novela romántica italiana, autor de Fuera llueve, dentro también... ¿paso a buscarte?, Antonio Dikele Distefano. «-¿Qué es el amor? -fue la pregunta. -El amor es una caja de galletas de mantequilla. ¿Recuerdas las galletas que van en esas cajas metálicas azules? ¿Que, cuando las ves en el salón, piensas «galletas», pero cuando abres la caja encuentras alfileres y botones? Para mí el amor es eso, esperas una cosa y te encuentras con otra -fue la respuesta.» Enrico e Irene cortaron hace más de un año, pero todavía hay cosas que no se han dicho. En cambio, Gianluca y Aldo, los padres de Enrico, están obstinados en amarse a toda costa, incluso cuando ya es demasiado tarde, cuando el amor se ha convertido en indiferencia. En eso piensa Enrico en el momento en que decide ir a buscar a Irene para confesarle lo que todavía siente por ella. Ahora le toca a Irene decidir el futuro de su relación y, mientras Enrico espera su respuesta, no puede evitar plantearse otra vez: ¿tiene sentido luchar por un amor que no es recíproco? Los lectores dicen...«Me ha fascinado cómo está escrito. Es como una especie de prosa poética que está tan de moda está últimamente. Son metáforas muy potentes, son imágenes muy fuertes...»Javier Ruescas en Youtube «Tiene muy buenos mensajes. Es muy importante la comunicación, el respeto, la tolerancia o la confianza en la otra persona, creo que son valores buenos que transmite el libro.»Nube de palabras «La historia de Dikele invita totalmente a la reflexión sobre las emociones humanas y las relaciones de pareja. Una novela completamente diferente, no apta para lectores que busquen una historia dulce y azucarada. Busca lectores que quieran conocer el amor, despedirse de él y dejar quesus corazones conozcan una parte más profunda y realista. 4/5.»Little Red Read «Antonio Dikele me ha enamorado [#]. Un libro que te devuelve a esa adolescencia que todos hemos tenido, estamos teniendo o tendremos. No puedo decir nada malo de ella.» «Tarde o temprano nos abrazaremos es una novela que engancha, que ahonda en los sentimientos del protagonista y que es capaz de hacer que el lector empatice con todos y cada uno de los personajes.

When a party of white explorers arrives, Tarzan finds himself drawn to them—in particular, to the American Jane Porter.

Te lo digo por tu bien: Sobre ser gordas y ocupar espacios con libertad
by Agustina CabaleiroEl estigma de la gordura pesa mucho más que el propio cuerpo. Parecería que si no somos delgadas, valemos menos. La influencer del body positive Agustina Cabaleiro tiene mucho para decir al respecto. "La primera vez que me dijeron 'gorda' fue en el jardín de infantes", cuenta Agustina Cabaleiro, alias @onlinemami_, en el comienzo de este libro. Desde muy chica supo (aprendió a los golpes) que su cuerpo era una marca indeleble, un estigma. Las cosas que para las demás parecían tan sencillas, para Agustina eran muy complicadas: la ropa, el sexo, la amistad, el trabajo y hasta una simple consulta con un médico por un dolor de muela. Todo parecía estar atravesado por el volumen de su cuerpo, sobre el cual por otra parte todos se sentían en el derecho de opinar. "Te lo digo por tu bien", se justificaban. "¿Cómo se supone que vas a quererte si todo el mundo te está diciendo todo el tiempo que no vales nada?", se pregunta Agustina, e intenta esbozar algunas respuestas.
Te lo diré con una canción
by Paula Pimenta¿Quién dijo que ser una chica de dieciséis años fuera fácil?Si la vida de Fani fuera una película, probablemente sería una mezcla de comedia romántica, drama y ciencia ficción. Comedia romántica porque está enamorada de alguien que podría ser su príncipe azul (pero que tal vez nunca llegue a serlo); drama porque ese alguien es el joven profesor de biología (y eso complica bastante las cosas....). Y ciencia ficción porque si alguna vez lo invita al cine será el Día de San Nunca por la Tarde... Por si fuera poco, la película está ahora mismo en la parte más emocionante: ¿debe aceptar la propuesta de marcharse un año de intercambio o quedarse donde está? Dejar atrás a sus amigos del alma, a un amor imposible y su adorada colección de DVD cinco estrellas es tan difícil como renunciar a la que podría ser la aventura de su vida...

Aunque también es verdad que si vas a tener un enemigo número uno, mejor que sea como Cole: alto, buenorro como hay pocos y con unos ojos azules que tiran para atrás.
