Loving THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED by Victor Manibo so far! It's got a killer opening that just pull you in completely. It's got these perfect modernized gothic vibes of a young woman being pulled into the curses of a rich family in the Philippines. #ewgc #booksky

#ewgc Two time travel books are twice the fun - ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN follows a witty Guinevere back to Camelot and GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME - man at his lowest jumps to 1300's and finds love and a dragon. Both were pure fun. @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @librarylovefest.bsky.social

In the1940s, the US implemented a plan to reduce STIs among soldiers, young women even thought to be sexually active could be locked up for an unknown length of time. To learn more, read Donna Everhart’s stunning novel WOMEN OF A PROMISCUOUS NATURE. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN by Paula Lafferty is a real feast for readers, even if you know nothing about King Arthur. A modern woman is transported back to the 7th century to help save Camelot and breathes new life into the legends. Beautiful! #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

Angela M. Sanders writes such adorable, enchanting mysteries, and I'm so excited she's starting a new series with us starring a sleuth who has a magical connection to scents! (Similar to how her librarian sleuth Josie Way has a magic connection to books.) Edelweiss DRC: bit.ly/whiffofmurder #ewgc

Because I have been a student of dance/dance history WHERE THE FALSE GODS DWELL by Denny S. Bryce (2/2026) looks really interesting. It's a historical novel based on the expeditions of the real dancer/anthropologist Katherine Dunham to Jamaica to study Caribbean dance forms. #ewgc #booksky
