Speed reader and ready to give unsolicited book suggestions always. The library is my happy place but as long as I have a book in hand anywhere will do.
About to start THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF, THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN, THE LEFT AND THE LUCKY and MISSING SISTER. All authors I love- just need more hours in the day! #EWGC @librarylovefest.bsky.social @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Looking for some fun? THE BEST LITTLE MOTEL IN TEXAS is it. Life changes for a librarian who inherits a small town brothel/motel with a grandfather clause and a few enemies. Reads like a Kevin Wilson madcap adventure! @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC One that will stay with me forever is WAIT FOR ME by Amy Jo Burns. A folk singer disappears leaving behind a mystery and a baby who grows up searching for her own musical roots. Incredible characters in the Nashville heartbreak music scene with mountain roots. @celadonbooks.bsky.social

#EWGC THE GEOMAGICIAN is a fun twist on the Victorian woman fighting the norm. Combining love and magic is a must but saving a baby dinosaur is the real magic. Cozy fantasy!

#EWGC I am really enjoying this other side of the poor mean Cinderella stepmom in LADY TREMAINE. After all, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do to pay for the castle and find her girls a castle of their own. A more realistic version & well written historical fiction. @macmillanlib.bsky.social

#EWGC Listening to THIS STORY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE which is great since it is about successful podcaster who goes missing leaving her partner/best friend holding the mic and broken hearted. This one has me circling the block! @celadonbooks.bsky.social @libro.fm

#EWGC Strong willed women is the theme in DAUGHTER OF EGYPT. A society woman caught between social duties and her true love - Egyptian antiquities searching for a deleted female pharaoh. Dual timeline 1920s archeology & 1480AE Egypt. Fascinating HF from Marie Benedict. @macmillanlib.bsky.social

#EWGC Immersed in THE BEHEADING GAME. What if Anne Boleyn woke upper- attached her head and then went off to find justice and revenge? Interesting spin on historical fantasy.

#EWGC One of my faves is THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME. What do you do when you wake up in your favorite fantasy series? You join in the potential war and try not to keep getting killed. Outlander/Game of Thrones vibe with great wit, characters and plot. This one is huge!! @tordotcom.bsky.social

#EWGC Crazy day all around but at least we have books to shout about! KEEPER is the 3rd book about a ex Chicago cop who retires in rural Ireland. Cal can't help himself solving murders though. Great characters = perfect Tana French! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#LibFaves25 Hope I am not too late I loved SO FAR GONE by Jess Walter. A man tries to redeem himself by rescuing his grandchildren and their mother from a cult. I enjoyed everyone's picks!

#LibFaves25 Today my pick is all emotion. Like raging teenage hormones you will laugh and sob in the same breath while reading WRECK by Catherine Newman. The next stage of a family when drama strikes- a simple story beautifully written.

#LibFaves25 Today I will rave about WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy. A cold dark tale of chaos. A woman comes to Antarctica to find her husband and instead finds a family of caretakers and so many secrets. Wild, mysterious and cautionary all in one.

#LibFaves25 Today's pick is historical fiction with a touch of magic in the water. THE LISTENERS by Maggie Stiefvater shows us the inner workings of a resort hotel in West Virginia in 1942 where the female manager must deal with the government taking it over to house German POWs. Magic!

Day 5 of #LibFaves25 and my pick is hard to put into a set genre. DEATH OF AN AUTHOR by Nnedi Okorafor is a story within a story - an author who is transformed by a prosthetic and the book she writes about a lonely robot. It makes you think and entertained at the same time. Gorgeous writing.

#LibFaves25 Day four brings me to a riveting story. A GUARDIAN AND A THIEF by Megha Majurndar takes us to India
where a woman is desperate to obtain a visa for her family to escape meets a young boy desperate to save his family. Powerful and one that stays with you.

#LibFaves25 Day three so here's pure fun. I listened to the magical audio which gave me much needed escape and laughs. BRIGANDS AND BREADKNIVES by Travis Baldree features mythical creatures caught in very human emotions. A journey, an adventure, a fork in life's road - well worth the trip.

#LibFaves25 Day two is MY FRIENDS by Fredrik Backman. I have been a fan of his since his first book and this one hit me to the core. An artist, his painting and the young girl it impacts as well as the friends he leaves behind. This is a beautiful exploration of friendship, loyalty and love.

#LibFaves25 First on the list BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL by V.E. Schwab. Classic multi generational vampire tale with a lesbian twist. Perfect for readers of Anne Rice.

#ewgc Currently listening to WHEN I KILL YOU the next super thriller from B.A. Paris. A woman's stalking led to disaster and now she is being stalked. You keep trying to guess who is behind the bushes! Great audio but not if you are home alone!
