Angelica's Picks

Angelica's PicksMeet Angelica: Hi my name is Angelica and I am a teen volunteer for the Phoenix Public Library. I just love to read humorous and heartfelt stories. When I read I like to stay on my couch with my dog, and enjoy the novel.

 

Meet her list: My list is based off of books that left me crying and others that left me laughing for more than two days.  I hope you enjoy at least one of the books I put down here and which are found at the Phoenix Public Library.
