All caught up! 🙃 Today's #libfaves25 pick is BEST OFFER WINS by Marisa Kashino. A terrific domestic thriller with one twist after another and many "She did not just do that" moments.

Day 8 catch up of #libfaves25 I've been a fan of Robert Macfarlane's writing for years, but IS A RIVER ALIVE? takes it to new heights.

A snow day and wifi issues...I need to catch up on #libfaves25. For Day 7: MRS> CHRISTIE AT THE MYSTERY GUILD LIBRARY by Amanda Chapman such good fun, modern day meets the golden age of mysteries. Amanda Chapman is a great speaker, as well.

Good morning, I'll be your counter for Day 6 of #libfaves25 Getting a late start on the east coast. My pick for today is THE POPPY FIELDS by Nikki Erlick. If you could sleep through your grief, would you, even if it meant you'd forget the love you and your loved one shared?

Today's #libfaves25 pick is Ann Packer's SOME BRIGHT NOWHERE Maybe a little sad for this time of year but so full of family and heartfelt love.

Day 2 of #libfaves25 for me is HEAD CASES by John

With a title that is very natural to me, THE IRISH GOODBY: MICRO-MEMOIRS Beth Ann Fennelly @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social February 2026 looks intriguing...and I love the purple and yellow cover! #ewgc

Has anyone read Jessie Garcia's sophomore thriller THE FAIR-WEATHER FRIEND? Good premise, several POV but I feel like it might have gone on a big too long. #ewgc

I'm a huge fan of Olivia Laing's non-fiction, but haven't read her fiction. THE SILVER BOOK will be out next month. #ewgc

The pub date is six months out, but I'm so eager to read THE BOOK WITCH by Meg Shaffer. I adored her last one, THE LOST STORY #ewgc
October 2, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Has anyone read HAVEN'T KILLED IN YEARS Amy K. Green, yet? I picked it up, put it down, picked it up, and halfway through went, wait, what...I think I missed something and finished it in short order. #ewgc

THE TATTERED COVER by Ellery Adams checks all the boxes for a long running cozy series. Set at Halloween with plenty of book recs. Nora and her friends never disappoint. #ewgc

HOT DESK Laura Dickerman is a publishing story told in two voices. I particularly loved the "historic" narrative (I hate that the 80's are historic). The stories blended well and had a satisfying conclusion.

Just finished Shannon Bowring's third book in the Dalton trilogy IN A DISTANT VALLEY. I love this town so much and her writing is achingly beautiful. Reminiscent of Fannie Flagg #ewgc

Eager for HUNTER'S HEART RIDGE, Sarah Stewart Taylor's sequel featuring Detective Frank Warren in Vermont. #ewgc

Surprisingly, I was gaga for OVERDUE by Stephanie Perkins. It was so sweet and lovely...not my typical read. #ewgc
July 10, 2025 at 8:12 PM
Oops, forgot #ewgc BABY DRAGON CAFE by A.T Qureshi is a sweet beginning to three interconnected books. I'm feeling like I need a baby dragon in my life.

It feels like a long time since there was a new Chevy Stevens, but I guess not really. Either way, glad to have gotten a copy of THE HITCHHIKERS in the mail this week. #ewgc

Am I the only one who, at first glance, thought these were muffin liners? Loved the use of pencils and magical realism in THE PHOENIX PENCIL COMPANY Allison King #ewgc

35-year-old, plus-sized Sunny Greene has a breakdown in the dressing room trying on a bathing suit (who hasn't?) This becomes a catalyst for her to reevaluate her life and take control in this debut novel that is whip-smart and filled with self-deprecating, but wise humor. #ewgc
