New Books at OCC for 2023, Part 2: YA, NF, F

Remember to check out the Read Great Things 2023 Challenge-- there are lots of options below!

Fiction,

including some literary fiction, mysteries, contemporary romances/"women's fiction" [which your librarian has an issue with the classification even if she does like the genre, since many books that are considered "literary fiction" written by men but dealing the the same issues of family and relationships are lauded], some fantasy, and some books that defy genres [a word that simply means type of book based on the plot characteristics]

YA!

["young adult" novels, which typically are faster-paced, have a main character or main characters who are in their late teens, and typically deal with issues of identity, coming-of-age, and other "teen" issues (that we all know aren't just issues that teenagers face)]

Nonfiction!

including some media reflections, medical nonfiction [my favorite!], nature and animal nonfiction [also a favorite!], and some sociological studies [also a favorite-- I guess I like nonfiction more than I used to! we can all change!]

And to finish it off, some hows and how-tos!

Self-explanatory, really.
