They talk about that fabric in the book Almost Underwear by Jonathan Roth, a children’s non fiction book that’s quite an interesting read! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jonat...

How cool! Enjoy! #ewgc
Last post before #ewgc ends! I definitely recommend THISTLEMARSH for cozy romantasy, A MURDER MOST CAMP for a mystery w/humor, romance, & personal growth, WE BURNED SO BRIGHT for an end of the world emotional & physical journey, & BOOTS BENEATH HER BED for a great romantic suspense debut!
Weeks later, I still find myself randomly thinking about Kliewer’s THE CARETAKER, a perfectly chilling horror novel that had me tearing through the pages (& leaving the lights on at night for quite a while). #ewgc @ssedlib.bsky.social
Ella Enchanted meets Bookshops & Bonedust in the utterly charming cozy fantasy STAY FOR A SPELL by Amy Coombe. I relished my time in this world (& wouldn’t have minded taking Tandy’s place!) #ewgc @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social
With perfectly crafted world building, a cast of characters that immediately draws you in, & a thrilling plotline that never lets up on the action, any reader worth their Cenobium salt will be desperately seeking a copy of Roth's SEEK THE TRAITOR’S SON! @macmillanlib.bsky.social #ewgc
I really enjoyed FIVE as well! I got completely caught up in the characters. #ewgc
Great recommendations! Looks like I'm adding to my TBR list! :) #ewgc
So jealous! Enjoy! #ewgc
I’m a little embarrassed to confess that THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY is the first book I’ve read by Elizabeth Strout, but this emotional and vibrant story lived up to every expectation that I had based on how beloved this author is. Just lovely. @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social #ewgc
I very much enjoyed MAKE BELIEVE, Mac Barnett’s treatise on the joys of children’s literature, the pitfalls of modern publishing, & the need to give children more credit & creativity when it comes to the books we make available to them. #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social
Yes!!! I've been waiting for a new David Husk Wanbli Weiden! Winter Counts was terrific- can't wait to hear about WISDOM CORNER! #ewgc
DEATHBRINGER by Sonia Tagliareni is a debut that has everything a reader could want from a dark academia romantasy- a unique magic system, a high stakes plot, a slow burn romance, as well as plenty of angst, suspense, and surprises. @ssedlib.bsky.social #ewgc
Oooh! You had me at "noir-toned sci-fi thriller"! Sounds wonderful! #ewgc
Did you know that Jesmyn Ward has a new book coming out on 5/19? I devoured every word of ON WITNESS AND RESPAIR, an eclectic essay collection which was full of hard truths & lyrical writing, as one would expect from this literary powerhouse. #ewgc @ssedlib.bsky.social
THE BLACK CAT DETECTIVES by Kit Gray was a light & cozy cute story with kitten themed mayhem, magic, & mystery. Fun from the first page to the last! (Plus that cover?! Too adorable!) #ewgc @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social
I’m starting #ewgc with a book I read earlier this week which blew me away! A PAIR OF ACES by Benedict/Murray was so compelling! I loved the unlikely partnership between NYC’s 1st Black female prosecutor & a madam who join forces to take down a mafia kingpin. Page turning to say the least!
Just saw PHM this week and it was perfection!!! Wish I could have immediately watched it again! #ewgc
Hi, Jill! Thanks in advance for compiling today's #ewgc recommendations. Can't wait to see what upcoming books everyone is excited about! :)
I’m thrilled by my latest #bookmail, a mix of fantasy, historical fic, literary fic, mystery/thriller, nonfiction, & dystopian- a book for every one of my reading moods. (Including The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden! Swoon!) Thank you, @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social!
I am soooooo eagerly awaiting this book! Yay! #ewgc
ACROSS THE VANISHING SKY was my first read by Catherine Cowell, & I’m definitely a fan now. The perfect blend of suspense & romance, & the start of a new series that I am absolutely looking forward to continuing! #ewgc @sbkslibrary.bsky.social
THE NIGHT WE MET is another gem by Abby Jimenez. I cannot get enough of her books- I fall so deeply in love every time! ❤️ #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social
UPWARD BOUND: What an amazing debut by Woody Brown, a collection of short stories focused on the clients & staff at an adult daycare for people with disabilities. Vibrantly written characters, plenty of humor & pathos. Unmissable. #ewgc @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social
THE ENCORE by Juliet Izon was so dang good!!! Two talented musicians with a tangled past are drawn together again by a teenager who’s seeking answers about herself & her birth parents. What follows is messy, & magical, & moving. I loved it!!! #ewgc #unionsquareandco @hachettelibrary.bsky.social
Romance readers: have you discovered the Story Lake series by Lucy Score? Book 2 is MISTAKES WERE MADE, an opposites attract delight that is quirky, sweet, & a whole lot of fun! @sbkslibrary.bsky.social #ewgc
Actually, there were 3 food based books that @chroniclebooks.bsky.social sent to me (thank you!), & they were all scrumptious! Feast your eyes on PARTY TRICKS & THE BUTTER BOOK as well- all three releasing in March! #ewgc
Part memoir, part cookbook, WILL THIS MAKE YOU HAPPY shares a year in the life of a young woman seeking purpose & satisfaction & finding it in the culinary arts. Photos connect w/recipes & illustrations w/the narration, & altogether it’s a delicious delight. #ewgc @chroniclebooks.bsky.social
LOL! I know, right! 😬 #ewgc
