Good to see you all! Hoping to make it next month! #ewgc

Katherine Center's latest, THE SHIPPERS, out 5/19, takes place on a cruise, making it a perfect vacation read. Center's great with messy characters that just need to be matched with the right person at the right time to, well, get it right. #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social @stmartinspress.bsky.social

Okay, I was probably going to read this anyway, but I think I might have to start talking it just so I can keep saying the name aloud! #ewgc

Can I plug a YA title? So happy Sarah Dessen's back with CHANGE OF PLANS. All the familiarity of close friends and family that you want to be a part of. From the first page, I felt like I'd come home to people I've known forever. #ewgc @ssedlib.bsky.social

Can’t say much, as I’m reviewing for Booklist, but MISSING SISTER by @joshilyn.bsky.social is out this week, and I'm here for it. Character building is superb, and I love me some ATL suspense (though I miss her practically lyrical southern-based character studies). #ewgc @harpercollins.bsky.social

I've become a true crime podcast fan (thanks @myfavoritemurder.bsky.social ) and am looking forward to this! #ewgc @crookedbooks.bsky.social

I LOVE Laurie Frankel. I've downloaded but not read yet. Can't wait! #ewgc

Happy Galleychat day! So happy to make it! No cocktail at the moment, but a cranberry cocktail is coming up soon. #ewgc

Won’t make it today ☹️ but may get to sneak in a quick review post in a few. Otherwise, see you next month! #ewgc

Hope to see you all next month! #ewgc

Reviewing for Booklist, so can’t say much, but if you’re up for following 2 friends over 30 years learning all about perspective, don’t miss YOUNG FOOLS by Liza Palmer releasing Sep 9 25 from Lake Union Pub.#ewgc

I didn't know that was possible! #ewgc

Okay, now I need a REAL cocktail! ;-) #ewgc

This looks like so much fun! #ewgc

I agree. The eighties aren't historic. They're classic! #ewgc

Not the only one, I haen't gotten there yet either, but I'm dying to. Turns out, retirement does NOT immediately move you into a river of extra reading time! #ewgc

Robin, do you think this will appeal to still-practicing Catholics? I thought it looked like a hoot, but I wondered if it should be recommended to those who take their Catholicism very seriously? #ewgc

I'm not seeing any cocktails being mentioned! I personally have a black cherry Sparkling Ice next to me. #ewgc

So happy to make it to GalleyChat for the first time in...well, let's not think about that. Not as not as Phoenix, but hot enough here in Florida. Good to see you all! #ewgc
