@MissSusie66 😆Love it! 🤭

I just had someone call and ask if I had the book Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Vera Wong

Today I read the short but moving TALES FROM THE CAFE, the 2nd book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series. I just love these stories so much!#LibraryReadingWed @LibraryReads99 @HQforLibraries @Hanover_Square @HarperCollins

What’s better than having fun at a @Mets game? The added bonus of discovering one of my sweet @NHPRoadSchool students & her family sitting right next to me! ❤️#proud2Bnhpgcp #LGM

Attempting to sneak in under the wire to recommend the thoughtful & melancholy THE UNDERCURRENT by Sawyer & macabre memoir THE WITCH’S DOOR by Cohn. Check them out! #ewgc

BULL MOON RISING is Ruby Dixon’s latest paranormal romance & I found it to be a delightful, sexy, imaginative, fun romp of a book! I adored the mummy style vibes, the found family element, & the spice! 🔥 😆 #ewgc @penguinrandom

Molly the Maid is back in THE MISTLETOE MYSTERY, a charming holiday novella that was a lovely way to keep me happy while I wait for Molly’s next full adventure (The Maid’s Secret is releasing 4/8/25)! @NitaProse @penguinrandom #ewgc

If you love Dan Brown style adventure thrillers, I’d recommend THE PUZZLE BOX, featuring puzzle master Mike Brink & his quest to solve the challenge of the legendary- & deadly- Dragon Box. Consequences will be dire if Mike doesn’t prove up to the task. #ewgc @penguinrandom

I recently read PRIDE & PREJUDICE IN SPACE & just yes! I ❤️ a good P&P retelling, & thought @AlexisLampley struck the perfect balance btwn honoring the classic & adding something fresh & new. I’ve already preordered a finished copy! @UnionSqandCo #ewgc

@VNesting @soho_press I enjoyed this book as well! I’m a fan of the mix of crime thriller with supernatural elements. #ewgc

@robinsbooks I’m excited about a new Eskens book! Yay! #ewgc

Set in modern-day Minnesota and the mid-90s in Bosnia during the Bosnia War for independence, the QUIET LIBRARIAN by Allen Eskens, due in February, is already receiving high praise from readers and is high on my TBR pile. #ewgc

In AMERICAN RAPTURE by CJ Leede, a dark coming of age story full of death & lust, a sheltered young woman faces changes in her perception of herself & the world, while dealing with the potential end of humanity. Raw & thought provoking. @TorNightfire #ewgc

@JillRhudy @kimsbookstack @KensingtonBooks Oh! I didn’t notice that update! Inquiring minds want to know… #ewgc

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

@robinsbooks @Freida_McFadden @PPPress @SBKSLibrary No, I haven’t! I’ll have to check that out- sounds like a blast! 😁 #ewgc

@sharonlayburn @Freida_McFadden @PPPress @SBKSLibrary Did you read her satiric novella, The Husband's Widow's Husband's Secret Lie? Parts were hilarious and some were silly but worth a read. #ewgc

Last week I read my first @Freida_McFadden book- THE BOYFRIEND. Now I understand the hype! Twisty & twisted fun, full of legitimate surprises & delicious tension! @PPPress @SBKSLibrary #ewgc

@SBKSLibrary I’m intrigued! 👀 #ewgc

If you love The Cloisters or The Cartographers, you're going to love THE ESTATE! Suspense + the ability to enter the dimension of art + locked room 🔥 #EWGC

@kimsbookstack @PRHLibrary Pony Confidential is on my TBR pile for this month. I’m looking forward to it! #ewgc

Starting with 2 fantastic animal tales - PONY CONFIDENTIAL where a pony and his human are separated at a murder, fight their way back to each other, and clear Penny's name. TOTO and his human get more than they bargained for in OZ - lots of snark and bark! @PRHLibrary #ewgc

@madpoptart @Joe_Jones @deienara That looks like fun! #ewgc

@sharonlayburn @Joe_Jones @deienara I'm not much of a journal-er, but did preorder this as I love the Reading Glasses podcast and I wanted to support them. Fingers crossed I'll actually journal. #ewgc amazon.com/dp/B0D5WMN11K?…

Are you guys buying paper planners for 2025? Which one do you use? I got a few inserts for a Filofax system. Nostalgic. #ewgc

@deienara @Joe_Jones I’m not familiar with that! I’ll look into it- thank you! #ewgc

@sharonlayburn @Joe_Jones Have you used the Traveler's Notebook?

@Joe_Jones @deienara Every year for the past decade I eagerly start a bullet journal and then forget about it within 6 weeks. Sigh. Maybe I’ll give it another go! #ewgc

@deienara I've been doing a bullet journal but might change for next year. #ewgc

@robinsbooks Lovely idea! #ewgc
