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

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

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

What a great twist in THE MISSING HALF by Ashley Flowers with Alex Kiester. I was more surprised than I thought I would be.

Looking forward to seeing if Sarah Penner does for shipwrecks what she did for mudlarking THE AMALFI CURSE #ewgc

Excited to read the conclusion to the Sunken Archive duology A LETTER FROM THE LONESOME SHORE by Sylvie Cathrall

I'm completely enchanted by the art work of @jessicasroux.bsky.social can't wait to take a look JANE AUSTEN'S GARDEN by Molly Williams

Jumped on late to the ALMA book buzz today, but was in time to hear about DAYS OF LIGHT by Megan Hunter coming in June from @groveatlantic.bsky.social You had me at Bloomsbury Group
February 6, 2025 at 9:13 PM
YOU ARE FATALLY INVITED by Ande Pliego had some neat twists and turns on locked room murders and mystery tropes in general. Wasn't entirely surprised at the outcome(s) but it was a fun read #ewgc

I tore through HOW TO SLEEP AT NIGHT by Elizabeth Harris. I loved the characters, the politics, the journalism...everything! @librarylovefest.bsky.social #ewgc

My day 7 of #libfaves24 is a book I started in December of 2024 and read a chapter a week: THE COMFORT OF CROWS by Margaret Renkl is an amazing journey though backyard nature...with some incredible artwork by her brother

I'm up and ready to start counting #LibFaves24 I'm going to start my day with GREY WOLF by Louise Penny. Gamache at his finest with some flashbacks to an earlier novel and the promise of things to come!
