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

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

Hello from NJ! We have a slight reprieve today in the temperatures, but not this soupy humidity! #ewgc

Must head out into the heat...stay cool...see everyone end of the month or in early July! #ewgc

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

I'm working on the last minute details for our consortium's book buzz tomorrow. Sadly, they don't open it to other libraries 😮‍💨 #ewgc
