#EWGC I need to boogie but stay cool, keep reading and don't forget to take time out to kick a leaf pile or two. Til next month!

#EWGC I just downloaded EVENSONG which is a group of women of( that wonderful age of wisdom) who help each other get through life's ups and downs. Sounds like an Ann Patchett or Elizabeth Strout vibe - I'm in.

#EWGC Also really enjoyed these - WRECK, A GUARDIAN AND A THIEF and THE GALES OF NOVEMBER.

#EWGC some of the October titles I really enjoyed. KING SORROW, THE CRIMSON THRONE, CONFORM, BOG QUEEN,

#EWGC I know it is past the LR deadline but I must gush about THE RUSH. Women of the Klondike Gold Rush and the power hungry and gold lust filled men in their way. Fascinating women taking care of women historical fiction and high adventure. 1 of the best of 25 @simonandschuster.bsky.social

#EWGC Just started THE TORTOISE TALE an introspective story from the viewpoint of a quiet animal that will outlive all of us but is witness to so much. You want to read it slowly to fully appreciate the writing. It might be this year's Marcellus! @simonandschuster.bsky.social

#EWGC Just started CURSED DAUGHTERS and am loving the melodic writing. The women of this Nigerian family are cursed to lose the men they fall for until Eniiyi decides she has had enough. Family, generational wisdom and breaking free. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC THE BURNING LIBRARY combines a Dan Brown old treasure hunt with Steve Berry secret societies. Gilly MacMillan keeps you on the edge of your seat with this thriller. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC I needed something cozy and light and VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE fits the bill. A magic flower shop gives former bad Guy's assistant a fresh start if she can hide but that was before she met the grump next door. Cute romantasy. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Just finished HAVEN'T KILLED IN YEARS. A merry go round of serial killers, their offspring and victims. A copycat killer comes to town digging up the past. So many secret names, dead ends and mind games that I have happy whiplash. Intense! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Ready for a creepy Bridezilla tale? THE BRIDESMAID drags a forensic attorney into the biggest society wedding this decade on an island with a killer. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Next up FALLEN CITY another Greek/Roman ish world of star crossed lovers on both sides of a walled city at the brink of war. Love the author and impatiently waiting for book 2. @macmillanlib.bsky.social

#EWGC Hey friends! Hope all of you are feeling very pumpkin spicy today. Starting with I,MEDUSA. Monster or misunderstood? A tale of obnoxious Gods and a mortal offspring who must find her way. Great retelling of a villain story you think you know. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC THE BOOK OF AUTUMN is dark academia and dark magic at its finest. Two magicians return to their old school to reverse a curse that is taking out students. Creepy with a side of romance. @kensington-library.bsky.social

#EWGC Just got THE GATES OF NOVEMBER about the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald in 1975. Massive storm and the entire crew was lost. I have Gordon Lightfoot's song on repeat. Great writing. @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC CONFORM is like the HANDMAID'S TALE and 1984 future with a rebel in their midst who isn't content to be a breeder. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC I am really enjoying WAYFINDER which follows the path some ancient Pacific Islanders took to find other islands when theirs stopped being an option. The language takes time to read but I am loving the voice. Fans of PLAYGROUND and ancient his. fic. will love this.

#EWGC HOLE IN THE SKY is a first contact\ alien horror story. Some have been waiting, some have no idea, some think they can make them go away but no one knows what they are dealing with. Stay away from Oklahoma for a bit. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Anyone need a holiday paranormal romance that is crisp as new snow and cozy as a cup of cocoa? GOOD SPIRITS is a fun revision of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The perfect "leave the world behind" holiday prep. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T LIVE HERE was a happy surprise. Mom and young daughter move to an apt. building full of ghosts. Imagination runs wild as the daughter investigates a possible murder and suspects galore. @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Totally captivated by THE WHITE OCTOPUS HOTEL which involves art, magic objects and time travel to an abandoned hotel where a woman travels to searching for answers and absolution. Moody and magical. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Can't stop talking about WRECK which left me laughing and crying on a plane ! Our fave family is dealing with sadness and medical uncertainty while trying to figure out life. Story, multigenerational characters, dialogue - everything about this book is perfect. @librarylovefest.bsky.social #EWGC

Hey #EWGC peeps! Ready to sing about books I am loving. First KING SORROW is funny, scary and so big I need to read it in chunks. A bunch of friends get help from a dragon demon who demands victims. Love his easy going but really creepy writing style. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

Wow! #EWGC where did the hour go? Love getting all your suggestions each month. Stay well and keep reading!

#EWGC For the big finish I can't wait to get back to KING SORROW. I am a big fan of Joe Hill and while this one is so big it makes my wrist hurt it is just what I need to escape. Scary book stealing from a college library! @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC For a really chill romance and a jump into holiday cheer try GOOD SPIRITS. I love this witty spin on A CHRISTMAS CAROL with a woman who doesn't know why she is being picked on by the ghost of Christmas past even if he is hot! Ginger spice and everything nice! @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC Not enough romance in your life but you don't want too much swooning? SOUL SEARCHING matches up a woman coming home and confronting ghosts with a new guy in town. Love Lyla Sage and her fun and a touch of spice romances- perfect escape. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Just started CROOKS and love the snarky Godfather vibe. A crime family that isn't what you expect them to be. Lou Berney never disappoints with his imperfect characters and low key humor. Even if you don't like gangster books you will enjoy this. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC Needing to get your Agatha fix? 6:40 TO MONTREAL is a twisty murder mystery following a writer on a train trip between Toronto and Montreal where bad things start happening. Classic mystery vibe. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Have to shout out about THE LIBRARIANS because librarians in Austin with a dead body at a library event. Dewey think they had something to do with it? Makes me wish I had their secret lives a bit and I am very familiar with the location. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC In the middle of a beautiful multi- generational saga and really enjoying the lush writing. BUCKEYE is a slice of life in Ohio after WWII and beyond. Easy to see why this is getting attention. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC Ready to shout to the heavens about Mary Roach and REPLACEABLE YOU. I now know more than I ever thought I would about joint replacements, acceptable animal hosts for hair growth and the gruesome history of dental and nose prosthetics. Interesting and fun! @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC MARROW takes women desperate for a baby to an island clinic where magic happens and much more. Creepy! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC THE MACABRE checked off all the horror boxes for me. Strange cursed paintings, secret staff of the British Museum, artists and magic. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#ewgc THE PHOEBE VARIATIONS. A coming of age story of a young girl who finds herself by hiding in the middle of a big family. I am of the age where I could relate to much of it. Really like Jane Hamilton.

#EWGC Next up are two very different reads that feature wild spaces. THE VANISHING PLACE is a gripping story of childhood trauma in the New Zealand bush and A LAND SO WIDE is a mystical monster tale of an early colony at risk - Jamestown vibe. Both tough to put down. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Let's get this #EWGC party started - I can't say enough great things about WRECK. Love this one as much as SANDWICH even though it is a one sitting sob/laugh book! Family drama with great heart. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#ewgc TOO OLD FOR THIS features a retired serial killer who must go back to work to tie up some loose ends because secrets must remain buried. Elderly killers are a trend!

#EWGC HOUSE OF THE BEAST - manga like illustrations pepper a debut fantasy of bad family, court politics, romance with a dark god and lots of sword fights . @librarylovefest

#EWGC Just started WHILE THE GETTING IS GOOD - Prohibition era fisherman near the Canadien border looking for a different catch. Beautiful writing!

#EWGC Just started THE PHOEBE VARIATIONS - coming of age story of a young girl who hides within a friend's huge family to find herself. Beautiful writing of life in 70's Chicago. Jane Hamilton's first in 9 years.

#ewgc FULL BLOOM - the gift of a magical perfume helps a woman to bloom and gain confidence to live to her potential. Interesting bits on perfume and dissecting scent.

#EWGC WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH - gut wrenching look at end of life thoughts. A compassionate look at elder care in Sweden that will make you think.

#ewgc THE SOCIETY OF UNKNOWABLE OBJECTS - secret society on the hunt for magic objects and the people who misuse them. THE MACABRE is similar but involves international hunt to retrieve magic paintings. @librarylovefest

#EWGC FIVE FOUND DEAD is the latest nod to Dame Agatha. A writer and his twin sis take a trip on the Orient Express only to find themselves in the middle of a murder spree. Whodunnit with solid literary bones for armchair detectives. @sbkslibrary

#EWGC THE DEAD HUSBAND COOKBOOK is a horror tale of an editor working with her foodie idol who must decide if the book and kitchen are too hot to handle. Fear the meatball! @sbkslibrary

#EWGC Gotta run but wishing you all sunny days with lots of outdoor reading time. We all have way too many arcs to choose from but I am always surprised at the variety of your posts each month. Stay well -

Eager to start THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO for a little armchair travel. A woman down on her luck leaves the safety of home and heads to Italy to reinvent her life. A study of working in marble and finding yourself in the place of your ancestors. @prhlibrary.bsky.social #EWGC

About to begin THE BEWITCHING which follows 3 generations of women in a spooky university setting full of witches and family secrets. Love the writing of Silvia Moreno Garcia. @prhlibrary.bsky.social #EWGC

A LIGHT IN THE NORTHERN SEA is a mesmerizing story of a little country that fought back against German occupation and ferried their Jewish citizens safely to Sweden at great risk. Reads like fiction and a story that we haven't heard before. A good pick for YA. @kensington-library.bsky.social #EWGC
