#ewgc The last one for me is one of my favorite authors. THE ASTRAL LIBRARY and
Kate Quinn ask - ever wanted to live inside a book? A woman who has struggled her whole life gets a chance to find out. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#ewgc Just started THE JILLS. Pro cheerleading is murder- literally. This is a new subject and one I know nothing about.
Let the drama begin... @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Important reading that is sure to make your blood boil - WOMEN OF A PROMISCUOUS NATURE is a look at our sad history of incarcerating and sterilizing women deemed unfit by men. @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social

Love this series!

#ewgc Enjoyed THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS where a group of young kids try to find a serial killer so one of them won't have to move. They learn more about the adults around them than they thought. Dark but well written. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Looking for a fun time travel jaunt? THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN takes a woman from the present who Merlin whisks back to the past to save Camelot. This only works if she remembers Guineviere's memories. Magic, laughter and a very non-demure queen. @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social

#ewgc Really enjoyed THE GALLAGHER PLACE. Coming of age where siblings come home years later (sense a theme?) to solve what happened to their childhood friend and they may not like what they find. Powerful ending.

#ewgc A BOX FULL OF DARKNESS is an eerie sibling ghost story. Summoned by their dead little brother's ghost, the grown kids return to their childhood home to solve who/what is behind bad stuff happening in the town. Creepy with a shot of sibling bickering! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Just started BOOK OF BLOOD & ROSES because vampire assassins just sounded right for this time of year.
I like the snarky main character. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Just finished DETOUR featuring a billionaire who sends a team of astronauts - some NASA, some civilians to one of Jupiter's moons. Let's just say it doesn't go according to plan.
Andy Weir fans will like this. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Let's get this party started! Loved THE ELSEWHERE EXPRESS (needed total fantasy) A fanciful train gives second chances but can two tethered riders stay on track? Beautiful imagery and a hint of danger. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

There has been a lot of interest in Cleopatra lately - very excited to read this.

#EWGC I need to boogie but stay cool, keep reading and don't forget to take time out to kick a leaf pile or two. Til next month!

#EWGC I just downloaded EVENSONG which is a group of women of( that wonderful age of wisdom) who help each other get through life's ups and downs. Sounds like an Ann Patchett or Elizabeth Strout vibe - I'm in.

#EWGC I know it is past the LR deadline but I must gush about
THE RUSH. Women of the Klondike Gold Rush and the power hungry and gold lust filled men in their way. Fascinating women taking care of women historical fiction and high adventure. 1 of the best of 25 @simonandschuster.bsky.social

#EWGC Just started THE TORTOISE TALE an introspective story from the viewpoint of a quiet animal that will outlive all of us but is witness to so much. You want to read it slowly to fully appreciate the writing. It might be this year's Marcellus!

#EWGC Just started CURSED DAUGHTERS and am loving the melodic writing. The women of this Nigerian family are cursed to lose the men they fall for until Eniiyi decides she has had enough. Family, generational wisdom and breaking free.

#EWGC THE BURNING LIBRARY combines a Dan Brown old treasure hunt with Steve Berry secret societies. Gilly MacMillan keeps you on the edge of your seat with this thriller. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC I needed something cozy and light and VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE fits the bill. A magic flower shop gives former bad Guy's assistant a fresh start if she can hide but that was before she met the grump next door. Cute romantasy.

#EWGC Just finished HAVEN'T KILLED IN YEARS. A merry go round of serial killers, their offspring and victims. A copycat killer comes to town digging up the past. So many secret names, dead ends and mind games that I have happy whiplash. Intense! @prhlibrary.bsky.social
