EDMONIA by Brianne Baker is an impressive work of biographical fiction celebrating the life of the first Black-Native American sculptress to achieve international renown. This compelling debut bristles with a feverish energy and is almost impossible to put down. #ewgc

Loved WHEN NO ONE ELSE WILL by Amanda Skenandore. Based on a real clinic in 1940s Chicago, this is a compelling and thoughtful novel about friendship, motherhood, and women’s rights to health care. Give this to fans of A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult or Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall. #ewgc

WON’T BE LONG NOW by Elizabeth Hardinger is set in 1950s-60s Kansas. Known in her family as an “odd-wad,” Billie Enholm is brilliant but awkward in social situations. Nowadays we might refer to her as neurodivergent, but at the time there was no such understanding. Powerful and poignant. #ewgc

And four titles I hope to get to real soon: can any title be better than Moss'd in Space? Molka and Accumulation are by authors whose prior novels I really loved. And yes, to all the gay detective novels! #ewgc #booksky

I love horror combining supernatural horror with real-world ones, and THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS by Tamika Thompson was truly unforgettable . A mother desperately tries to keep her sons safe in a housing project haunted by gun violence, racism, and maybe more than a few vengeful ghosts. #ewgc 📚 💙

If it's set at a shore town (or better yet, a Jersey shore town), I'm all over it! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER by Francesca Cocchi (OS 5.26.26) isn't just a romance novel...it's about hometown nostalgia, female friendship, and self discovery. It's the perfect summer / beach read! #EWGC #HAGS bit.ly/HAGS2026
