Patricia Falvey’s THE FAMINE ORPHANS highlights a fascinating and little known period of history. During the potato famine in the mid-1800s, young Irish women were sent to Australia where it was thought there would be better opportunities. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

If you love magic, mystery, romance, and dark academia, then THE BOOK OF AUTUMN by Molly O'Sullivan (OS 10.28.25) is for you! Librarian Tina Panik describes it best: "...The magical intelligence of Naomi Novik’s work, and the escapade energy of CJ Archer’s Glass Library series." #EWGC
