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...

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’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

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

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!

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

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
