A reminder that the next GalleyChat is scheduled for May 7. And if you aren't on my reminder email list, email me at galleychatter at earlyword dot com. #ewgc

Has anyone read CRASH INTO ME by Robinne Lee? Due to be published in July, it is getting a lot of Booktok attention. #ewgc

Due to be published next week, get a copy of Willy Vlautin's stupendous, heartrending novel THE LEFT AND THE LUCKY. You won't be sorry. It was a well-deserved choice for LibraryReads. #ewgc

Allison Winn Scotch's THE INSOMNIACS is about four strangers who hang out at night, become interconnected, and then the story turns into a mystery. Due to be published in a couple of weeks, so watch for it. Readers who enjoy books by Cynthia Sweeney and even Emily Henry may want to read this. #ewgc

John Searles's SINGLE GIRLS (July) is a look at Helen Gurley Brown's life and how she turned Cosmopolitan into a force that remains strong. Searles has worked at Cosmo for years, so he knows what he's writing about. It's funny, heart-tugging & entertaining. #ewgc @librarylovefest

Glad to be here. I'm lucky to be home as I was tapped for a jury trial that would have taken 9 days! I was excused a week ago and it was a big relief. #ewgc

Hey, guys, glad you had a good time but I guess you missed my messages about #ewgc being postponed until April 9 due to PLA. Hopefully, you'll send these again!

Due to PLA happening on the next scheduled GC day of April 2, we will postpone the chat until APRIL 9! Of course, I'll send reminders beforehand. Also happens I received a jury summons for April 2. #ewgc

I'll let John know. He is very proud of this cover. :-)

I just got the ARC of this. Love this author. #ewgc

@ssedlib.bsky.social Just wanted you guys to know how much I am loving David Archuleta's memoir, DEVOUT. It is surprisingly candid and soul-baring. It will for sure be at the top of my best-of-the-year list.

It's been a few years since we've had a new book by Jane Green, so I was excited to see she has a new book coming out in September, THE MANY PRIVATE LIVES OF MISSY COOKE. #ewgc

When we are in Las Vegas, my favorite drink is a vodka/7 with cran, or even a cosmo. YUM! #ewgc

I loved David Ellis's twisting thriller, LOOK CLOSER, and saw he has a new book coming in June, KEEP THEM CLOSE. It's high on my TBR list along with Linwood Barclay's next book, NOT A WORD, coming in August. #ewgc

SINGLE GIRLS by John Searles (July) is a novel about the world of Helen Gurley Brown and how she developed Cosmopolitan, written by a man who has worked for Cosmopolitan for years. #ewgc

So here me out on this. ENTER THE VILLA by Anna Peele is a revealing look at life on the Love Island reality show. Yes, sad to say I was addicted to this series & want to read this. However, this could be a good readalike for those who read COMPOUND that involves a Love Island-type show. #ewgc

Another I'm eager to read is Christina Baker Kline's THE FOURSOME (May), a historical novel based on the author's distant relatives, featuring Chang and Eng and their marriages. #ewgc

Kelly Rimmer's THE STORY KEEPER (July) has one of my favorite tropes in a gothic novel: A young woman returns to a family manse and tries to solve an age-old secret. Sounds perfect for us Kate Morton fans. #ewgc

Willy Vlautin's THE LEFT AND THE LUCKY (April) is an amazing novel full of Willy's superb writing that gets right to the heart of the characters' personalities and issues. A complex book that resonates with anyone who has (or has known anyone) had a tough time with life. #ewgc

I'm busy getting ready for a garage sale, so I don't have much time to post, but I will list the books (with covers) I'm eager to read, or have read. First up, CLEANUP ON AISLE FIVE Ann Larson (June) was fantastic and a book everyone who shops in a grocery store should read. #ewgc

I was just thinking the same thing #ewgc

Well, I have to get back to my garage sale work. I'll be back for the chat if I finish. We changed the date for the April chat to April 9 as PLA happens on April 2, plus I have jury duty (maybe). Have fun! #ewgc

I won't be staying long as we're having a garage sale tomorrow and I need to get back out and price, plus get ads ready. I timed some posts to go out and will rejoin if I finish. I'm already exhausted. Good times. #ewgc

Hello! Anyone here for virtual happy hour? #ewgc

Envious! That is one of the few books where I remember most of the plot. I shoved that into the hands of patrons for years.

It's almost the end of today's chat. See you all next month and Happy Valentine's Day! #ewgc

Our next chat will be four weeks from today, March 5, so mark your calendar! Of course, I'll send a reminder a few days before the date. #ewgc

I am so pleased to see today's turnout for #ewgc and also happy that Bluesky is behaving better than it did last month! Also, if you're not on my notification email list, email me at galleychatter at gmail dot com and I'll add you to the list. #ewgc

I don't mean to be a tease, but Louise Penny's next Gamache, MISS WOLCOTT'S GHOST, is coming in October 2026. NO DRC yet, but it is listed on Edelweiss. #ewgc
