THE GALLAGHER PLACE is a debut by Julie Doar where a typically tense family gathering gets significantly darker when a body is discovered near the familial estate & the current investigation reignites a cold case involving the disappearance of the mc’s teenage best friend. A page turner! #ewgc

Recently, I read THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS by Jennie Godfrey & loved it! The mc is a 12yo who distracts herself from family drama & other issues by attempting to figure out the identity of a serial killer who’s active in her town. Definite Flavia de Luce vibes! #ewgc

Another novel that’s coming out in just a few days (11/11) is BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES, the 3rd in the world of Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. Every book in the series is so darn fun & charming! 🥰 #ewgc

It’s time to talk about upcoming books you should have on your radar! If you’re in the mood for something short but wonderfully moving, I highly recommend THE FERRYMAN AND HIS WIFE by Frode Grytten. It comes out on 11/18. I hope that you give it a read! #ewgc

I adore #HannahBonamYoung, & simply fell in love with PEOPLE WATCHING. Her characters are always complex & real, with damage & hope, & hard fought growth that feels so satisfying to read. ❤️ #ewgc @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

THE WASP TRAP was compulsive, thrilling fun by @markedwardsauthor.bsky.social. After 25 years apart, six university friends gather to honor a mentor’s death- but before the night is over, more bodies will join his. @ssedlib.bsky.social @atriabooks.bsky.social

In THE WOMAN IN SUITE 11, we get the return of Lo Blacklock (from The Woman in Cabin 10). It's ten years after her first brush with murder, but the past seems to be colliding with her present. Is she in over her head again? Probably! #ewgc

HOW TO SURVIVE A HORROR STORY by Mallory Arnold was a blast! 7 writers gather for the will reading of a recently deceased horror author icon- but find that they’re about to participate in a real life horror story. Disturbing and fun! #ewgc @poisonedpenpress.bsky.social @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

IMMORTAL BY MORNING is the latest in the Argeneau vampire romance thriller series. Lynsay Sands always entertains, & this story about a handsome detective & a house sitter who stumbles across a skeleton includes steamy romance and just the right amount of thrills! #ewgc @harpercollins.bsky.social

Barnes has definitely earned a place on my “if they write it, I’ll read it” author list. COLD STORAGE is a chef’s kiss of a sci-fi horror. Lots of gruesome, chilling fun! @macmillanlib.bsky.social @torbooks.bsky.social #ewgc

Horror (among many other genres) is my jam, so I am eager to dive into the twisted world of BAT EATER AND OTHER NAMES FOR CORA ZENG. The @harpercollins.bsky.social publication releases April 2nd, but in the meantime I have this awesome @illumicrate.bsky.social Evernight version! 😍 #ewgc

My one-sided love affair with everything Abby Jimenez continues with SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME. Unforgettably romantic, yet full of sadly realistic relationship drama, I was completely hooked by these characters & loved that they fought so hard for their HEA. #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social
