@VNesting @kimsbookstack They should be here in the next couple of weeks and you are most definitely on my list!

THIS ONE! A visceral Southern debut as otherworldly & beautiful as it is unflinching & wry, THE SONG OF THE BLUE BOTTLE TREE by India Hayford (3/25/25) absolutely has my heart. A gazillion thanks to those of you who provided such gorgeous blurbs! bit.ly/3Z9Onff #ewgc

@Laroodoo @JillRhudy @sharonlayburn @kimsbookstack @KensingtonBooks So sorry for the confusion! It's one of those wacky Edelweiss glitches we haven't figured out yet...But NORTH IS THE NIGHT is most definitely coming 12/17/24 in all its deluxe edition, stenciled edges, reverse jacket, foil casing, beautiful endpapers glory!!

NORTH IS THE NIGHT is a fantasy based on Finnish folklore. Two sisters fight the king of the icy underworld. Wonderful world building! @KensingtonBooks #ewgc

@madpoptart @robinsbooks @bkwmn1992 @mrlzbth ALWAYS!

@robinsbooks @bkwmn1992 @mrlzbth You could also do all the historical fiction covers with women walking away from you on the cover. 😉 #ewgc

I was in the mood for a fast, easy thriller, and THE FAMILY INSIDE by Katie Garner definitely hit the spot! Just evicted Iris is thrilled when her boyfriend invites her to move in with him, but it turns out his weird, secretive family is part of the deal... #ewgc

@VNesting @KensingtonBooks This is the book on our list that completely has my heart. Gorgeous language, unique protagonist, complex characters, immersive settings written by a naturalist, book club gold, both harrowing and triumphant. I just loved it so much!

Fans of Stacy Willingham & Gillian Flynn: get ready for this immersive Southern suspense about sacrifice, privilege, guilt, & the vengeful ghosts of a haunted past! GOTHICTOWN by Emily Carpenter (3/25/25) is the post-pandemic answer to THE LOTTERY #ewgc bit.ly/3APGotr

@VNesting Yours was better...which is why we're quoting you on the inside cover of the ARCs (alongside @kimsbookstack and @juliereviewsbks)! Here's a 'lil sneak peek...

Diane McPhail vividly reimagines Lydia Latrobe Roosevelt’s wild adventure of 1811, when – very pregnant & with a toddler in tow – she braved violent earthquakes, hostile attacks & more on the first steamboat voyage to conquer the Mississippi River. tinyurl.com/m2b35r49 #EWGC

@jenna_marie58 Yes vampiressssss always!!!

@MattJMcLoughlin @KensingtonBooks Aren't votes due 1/1?? (not 12/1)

Full of love & hope, Tammy Greenwood's THE STILL POINT (@KensingtonBooks, 2/20/24, 9781496739339) explores the rivalries & relationships between young ballet dancers and their mothers in this drama set in California. LibraryReads votes due 12/1! #EWGC edelweiss.plus/?sku=149673933…

@kimsbookstack @PRHLibrary What a cover!

Just started THE AMERICAN DAUGHTERS and am pulled in by the slavery story in New Orleans as much as the women run spy ring. The writing feels very authentic. Great panel with the author today at the PRH winter fest. #ewgc @PRHLibrary

@Joe_Jones Waaaaant!

One more I'm about 1/3 into is THE FAMILIAR by Leigh Bardugo. It took me a minute to get into the setting of historical Spain and names, but once I did wow! I can't wait to see where Luzia's and Santángel's stories go next! #ewgc

I second @VNesting (always)! This charmingly folksy, beautifully written novel is a great read...and surprisingly funny! I definitely didn't expect to find so much wry humor in THE FLOWER SISTERS (4/23/24). t.ly/BSBeL #ewgc

Dance Moms meets Big Little Lies in the cutthroat world of teenage ballerinas and their moms during rehearsals for The Nutcracker… 24 days to nominate THE STILL POINT by award-winning author (& dance mom!) Tammy Greenwood! bit.ly/3YocWmi #ewgc

#ewgc HOW is it already Thanksgiving month?!?! So great seeing everyone today.

@VNesting I'm surprised I got to it before you did! 😆Did @MattJMcLoughlin send you the manuscript yet?

I just started this but am already OBSESSED. A female doctor joins a traveling medicine show to support her disabled son (with Down syndrome), only to get caught in the devastation of the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900. on edelweiss now! #ewgc tinyurl.com/j5ztc4c8

@janet_schneider Amanda Skenandore is fab. I love how her novels always explore public health/medical history. We won't have print ARCs for a while, but I'm happy to put you on the list if you send me your address! VEngstrand(at)KensingtonBooks dot com.

I’m a huge fan of this author, & also, Galveston. 😊 #ewgc

@VNesting ReShonda Tate as in ReShonda Tate Billingsley!? Hot damn!

@madpoptart @jwbookworm I got to read this when the manuscript came in and you are in for a treat. So so funny. Very fresh. Crossover appeal galore!

@jwbookworm I downloaded this the minute I saw it. I used to be a auto-reader of Dodd in her historical romance phase, so I'm very curious to see what she does with this. #ewgc

@VNesting I'm definitely excited for THE PHOENIX CROWN. That one's on my TBR too!
