Pilar says Emily Henry’s new book is an exploration of how our approach to story, both in craft and real life, deeply affects our perception of ourselves and others. This book is a perfect choice for lovers of women’s fiction, celebrity tabloids, and low-stakes mystery.

The Mars House by Natasha Pulley is Miranda's favorite book of the summer so far, and we think you should add it to your TBR!📚 Political marriage of convenience plus truly excellent SF worldbuilding makes an engaging novel that understands its own gravity.

She says Dig has the three P's every good book needs: potatoes, puking, and plenty of painting.
