Day 8 of #libfaves25: The completely delightful fantasy THE KEEPER OF MAGICAL THINGS by Julie Leong. Set in the same world as TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES, this lovely tale focuses on community, friendship, acceptance, and love. So good!

Day 7 of #libfaves25: I love, love, love THE RUSH by Beth Lewis. It is brilliant, gritty, insightful, and so beautifully written. During the lawless Yukon gold rush in 1898, a woman is found murdered and three disparate women draw together to figure out what happened.

Day 6 #libfaves25: DEAD IN THE FRAME by Stephen Spotswood, the latest episode in the wonderful Pentecost and Parker mystery series. With vivid descriptions of the characters as well as 1940s New York, this series never fails for me.

Oops, almost missed doing my day 5 #libfaves25 post for KILLS WELL WITH OTHERS by Deanna Raybourn. Because who doesn’t love a bunch of smart, tough, experienced female assassins of a certain age who must track a criminal mastermind before she gets them.

Day 4 #libfaves25: A FORTY YEAR KISS by Nickolas Butler tells the story of a couple getting a second chance at love forty years after they divorced. Butler writes beautifully about small towns and everyday, flawed people.

Day 3 #libfaves25: WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy is mystery-thriller, part climate fiction, completely unforgettable.

Day 1 #libfaves25 (in no particular order): THE FERRYMAN AND HIS WIFE by Frode Grytten is a quietly beautiful and moving story of a man, a place, and a way of life. It will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

I think THE MOONSHINE WOMEN by Michelle Collins Anderson and THE CREEK, THE CRONE, AND THE CROW by Leah Weiss would be a great pairing. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

Of course I’m reading Kate Quinn’s THE ASTRAL LIBRARY. 1) It’s Kate Quinn, 2) the main character is a book lover, and 3) it’s about a fantastical library where books are doors to new worlds. What could be better? #ewgc @librarylovefest.bsky.social

I loved Jasmin Iolani Hakes’ debut HULA, so I am totally onboard for her second novel, POHAKU, a story going back centuries detailing one family’s ties to a stone with seemingly magical powers. #ewgc @librarylovefest.bsky.social

So excited about RUINS by Lily Brooks-Dalton, about a brilliant archeologist who is searching for a lost empire no one else believes existed. By pursuing her theory, she could blow up her own life — or upend the story of civilization. @hachettelibrary.bsky.social #ewgc

Just finished THE CYCLIST by Tim Sullivan and am looking forward to reading the next book in the DS Cross mystery series, THE POLITICIAN. These are police procedurals with a twist. #ewgc @groveatlantic.bsky.social

I really enjoyed SACRED LIGHT, the 4th mystery by Kathryn Lasky featuring Georgia O’Keefe in the New Mexico mountains and desert landscapes during the 1930s. Her love of and respect for the land and indigenous people is evident on every page. #ewgc @severnhouse.bsky.social @netgalley.bsky.social

HOW TO COMMIT A POSTCOLONIAL MURDER by Nina McConigley is a wholly original debut about two Indian American girls growing up in Wyoming. Younger sister Georgie confesses in the first chapter that they had murdered their uncle, but you must read on to learn how and why. @prhlibrary.bsky.social #ewgc

GODFALL by Van Jensen surprised and delighted me. Part science fiction, part mystery/thriller, part human drama about what happens to a small town when it experiences sudden exponential growth, and so much more. So good! This is one of my favorites recent reads. @hachettelibrary.bsky.social #ewgc
