This Staff Pick Sunday, Brittany recommends Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross.

You can read her full review on our website! bookmarkbeach.com/staff-picks/...
“Ross builds a fantasy filled with poetic language and lush descriptions that I didn’t want to put down. I was captivated by the social dynamics of the divinity, as well as the longing that builds between Vincent and Matilda. Atmospheric and moody, this is a great read as the days get shorter!”

This Staff Pick Sunday, Rona recommends What We Can Know by Ian McEwan. You can read her full review on our website! www.bookmarkbeach.com/staff-picks/...
“Remember Atonement, Ian McEwan’s brilliant novel written over 20 years ago? Since then he’s tackled questions of artificial intelligence and robots along with other thought-provoking and sometimes difficult topics. McEwan’s latest, What We Can Know, is being touted as a long-awaited masterpiece. Indeed, I would agree; Ian McEwan has done it again.“

This Staff Pick Sunday, Laura recommends All This Could Be Yours by Hank Phillippi Ryan. You can read her full review on our website! www.bookmarkbeach.com/staff-picks/...
“Debut sensation Tessa Calloway is living her dream. After deciding to quit her job and write a book, she’s received accolades for her novel. The pacing of All This Could Be Yours never lets up and there are enough red herrings to keep you guessing.“

This week Rona recommends Heart the Lover by Lily King for Staff Pick Sunday. You can read her full review on our website! bookmarkbeach.com/staff-picks/...
If you remember your first real love and how it defined you, you will find much to ponder here. In any case, you will enjoy the story. I found myself eager to get back to this book to see what King’s characters were doing.

This Staff Pick Sunday Kirsten recommends The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino.

You can read her full review on our website! bookmarkbeach.com/staff-picks/...
The Second Death of Locke is a lush and immersive novel. Grey and Kier's relationship is filled with both history and yearning. Grey's love for Kier is palpable, but the cost to love is high. I love a fantasy where the stakes truly matter, and that is definitely the case for The Second Death of Locke.”
