Title: Righteous Author: Joe Ide Genre: mystery Why did you choose to read this book? I enjoyed reading the first book in this series, IQ . What did you like about it? Like IQ , this is a fast-paced detective story featuring Isaiah Quintabe (“IQ”), a self-made private investigator in Los Angeles.

Women's History Month was enshrined in law as an annual, month-long celebration on March 12, 1987, noting that "despite these contributions [by women], the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the body of American history." Who reading this can say they've done their studies and can score an A+ on NCpedia's Quiz of North Carolina Women's History?
