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.

Today's #libfaves25 OVERDUE by Stephanie Perkins about a librarian who decides it might just be time to upend her life and follow her dreams

Today's #libfaves25 is Sarah Beth Durst's charming companion novel to her first novel. THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE tells the story of a librarian who was turned into a wooden statue and is returned to life on an island filled with magical greenhouses.

Day 2 of #libfaves25 for me is HEAD CASES by John
McMahon. Such a smart investigator and a great puzzle!

Beginning today, librarians are going to shout out their favorite titles of 2025! Kicking off today with THE PHOENIX PENCIL COMPANY by Allison King. This magical debut reveals all the hidden mysteries a pencil might hold for a young woman's family #libfaves25

Going to bounce...the full moon is rising. Happy holidays everyone! See you for #libfavs2025 next week (this is probably the wrong hashtag 🙃 I'll sort it out by Monday!) #ewgc

Are there any CD librarians out there? How are you doing in the aftermath of B&T? I've found a good vendor, Bookazine, right here in NJ, but the learning curve is taking some getting used to for this old girl Our books do come quickly, though! #ewgc

Hi all! I've got notes and reminders all over the place that today is #ewgc and I still got waylaid! How is everyone?

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

Hello from ordering hell. Trying to sort out how this will play out AT THE END OF THE YEAR! #ewgc

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

Grrr...forgot to add #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

Hello! So glad to be here today. It has been a month...or two! At least we're having a short respite from the high temperatures in NJ! #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
