THE BLACK BIRDS OF ST. GILES ( out in May ) Siblings fleeing slavery in the islands find racism and classism fighting against them in post Revolutionary War England. A different side of history and family with an Oliver Twist vibe. @KensingtonBooks#ewgc
LET'S CALL HER BARBIE is a trip back in time to the woman who launched a revolution in dolls for little girls and taught them to dream big. Nostalgia and terrific backstory of the toy industry. Those old enough will laugh at the design problems with her feet. @PRHLibrary#ewgc
THE IN-BETWEEN BOOKSTORE is a quiet story of a chance to travel back in time to fix a friendship and your own young self proving you can go home again. @librarylovefest#ewgc
Just started ELEANORE AND THE COLD WAR. Great cozy mystery centered around Eleanore Roosevelt and her assistant solving a murder that possibly involves Russian spies. @KensingtonBooks
Due out in April from @KensingtonBooks is the 3rd in another wonderful mystery series, A FASHIONABLY FRENCH MURDER by Colleen Cambridge. American ex-pat living in Paris in the 50s. Befriends Julia Child who lives across the street and hijinks ensue. #ewgc
DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is the hardest story to pin down into one theme - dual story of robots with souls, Nigerian American family drama and a woman who refuses to be disabled or confined. Nnedi Okorafor is the best storyteller! My fave so far for 2025. @librarylovefest#ewgc
THE NAMING OF THE BIRDS is the second in this series of an unusual detective trio in the underbelly of London. Dark story with exceptional writing and wit. @WWNortonLibrary#ewgc
THE RESURRECTIONIST by A. Rae Dunlap was a great Halloween week read--a young medical student in 19th century Edinburgh gets involved with the body snatching trade and stumbles directly into the path of the infamous Burke & Hare. #ewgc
THE FAVORITES brings us all the drama, backstabbing and fierce competition of ice dancing both on and off the ice. Only one can take home the gold but is it worth it? My bet for upcoming mini-series! @prhlibrary#ewgc
WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS gets my vote for fun but powerful read about teens at a home for unwed mothers who arrive as docile girls and leave as fierce women thanks to a library book and a few witches. @prhlibrary#ewgc
I really enjoyed Virginia Feito's Mrs. March, and VICTORIAN PSYCHO is another fascinating, disturbing trip into the mind of a woman whose perspective on the world is...highly unsettling. Extremely dark historical horror. #ewgc
THE STOLEN QUEEN mixes a dual timeline of ancient treasure hunting in Egypt with 70's mystery at The Met Gala. Fiona Davis is the queen of NYC historical drama.

BEAUTIFUL UGLY is another masterpiece of suspense from Alice Feeney. Escape to a remote island isn't the answer this has been author hoped for. Instead he had more questions, more mystery and wicked karma. @MacmillanLib#ewgc
