I’ve got the next DS Cross mystery by Tim Sullivan, THE MONK, cued up on my Kindle. I am so enjoying this series and will be bereft when they are no longer coming out every month. #ewgc

I thoroughly enjoyed Jessica George’s 2023 MAAME, so I’m looking forward to her upcoming LOVE BY THE BOOK, a celebration of female friendships. George writes funny and heartwarming fiction, something we all need these days. #ewgc

I am haunted by WESTWARD WOMEN by Alice Martin. Set in the early 1970s, young women across the country are suddenly leaving their homes and headed West, forgetting their homes and families, never to be seen again. Great on audio. #ewgc @netgalley.bsky.social

In THE MOONSHINE WOMEN by Michelle Collins Anderson, three sisters take over their father’s moonshine business in Prohibition-era Ozarks. This is a moving story of reinvention, sisterhood, and love. #ewgc

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

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

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

I have been looking forward to Lily Brooks Dalton’s next book since I finished her incandescent previous one, THE LIGHT PIRATE. The new book is called RUINS and features an archeologist in search of ancient artifact that could upend everything we think we know about civilization. #ewgc

THE ASTRAL LIBRARY by Kate Quinn is a delightful page-turner about a young woman at the end of her rope when she suddenly comes upon the Astral Library, a place where people in need can find safety. And then the library itself comes under attack. What a joy to read. #ewgc

Currently reading THE HARVEY GIRL by Dana Stabenow, about a female Pinkerton agent tasked with going undercover in 1890s New Mexico to find the train robbers regularly stealing supplies headed for Harvey House restaurants. Fascinating. #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social

Ah! Just realized the reason this didn’t get tallied in the final #libfaves25 list is because I didn’t use the correct hash tag. Sigh.
Day 10 of #libfaves: LIFE HACKS FOR A LITTLE ALIEN by Alice Franklin, a charming and poignant novel about what it feels like to grow up neurodivergent. A very different sort of coming of age tale that will have you alternating between laughter and tears.

Day 9 of #libfaves25: THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN by Marie Bostwick, a surprisingly thoughtful and thought provoking novel about a group of women in a suburban neighborhood in the sixties which, as you can imagine, turns out to be a time of enormous change for everyone.
