Ooh, a mystery by Patricia McConnell! I’ve known her for her dog knowledge. I’ll be adding this to my list! #ewgc

It is beautiful - but I can't take credit for it. Just happy to be using it.

I dipped back into Susan Elizabeth Phillips Chicago Stars series and loved AND THE CROWD WENT WILD - a lovely, heartwarming, emotional read. #ewgc

Amy Pease's WILDWOOD is set in my state (northern Wisconsin) in an isolated rural area. But rural doesn't mean cozy. Here there are drugs and economic issues and an undermanned police dept. Gritty thriller. #ewgc

In THE HEIR APPARENT Rebecca Armitage imagines an England with different royal family (still based in historical details), has a princess who left royal life behind suddenly pulled back in when an accident puts her first in line for the throne. More serious and deeper than the cover suggests. #ewgc

Edward Ashton's AFTER THE FALL has dark themes, but also heart and humor? It's a mix that Ashton always manages to pull off and works once again here. #ewgc

YOU'LL NEVER FORGET ME By Isha Raya is a cat-and-mouse game that becomes personal between a female private eye trying to trap an up and coming actress who may have killed to move ahead. #ewgc

love it, that is. #ewgc

I was hesitant just because I wanted to love it but feared I wouldn't. Spoiler - I did. #ewgc

I'm really thrilled for them (author is a duo) as I've long enjoyed their paranormal fantasies. #ewgc

Lori Rader-Day's WRECK YOUR HEART is a big-hearted novel with a wise-cracking, country music singing, heroine who lives in Chicago and is down to her last pennies. And if that's not bad enough a woman has gone missing and a body has been found behind the bar where she works. Loved it. #ewgc

Agreed. I held off on reading for a bit for fear it wouldn't be good, but totally not necessary.

I'm usually leery of Arthur tales as they never seem to get away from it all being Guinevere's fault - but this sounds intriguing. #ewgc

An existential mystery thriller has Death on sabbatical and trying to figure out how there are "unplanned" deaths (murders) happening in DEATH AND OTHER OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS by Veronika Dapunt. #ewgc

book cover This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

Will be posting fast and furious as I likely have to leave early. So first up for me will likely be in my top 10 for the year - THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME by Ilona Andrews - first in a new fantasy series that was even better than I hoped/expected. #ewgc

Interesting. We're moving away from Koha/Bibliovation to SirsiDynix.

What's your new ILS? We'll be migrating next year. #ewgc

I love being able to see the covers of the books and have them in order of publication. (P.S. - I'm no great shakes at spreadsheets either so had to do a bit of trial and error to get it right). #ewgc

And I'm kind of already itching for fall weather. 🙃 #ewgc

Hello all. Drinking my iced coffee and feeling the doldrums of August. #ewgc

I've had this egalley for a bit and have held off reading as I love Ilona Andrews' books so much, I want to savor my wait just a bit more.

There are instructions in how to use the spreadsheet ARC calendar within the template.

It's a spreadsheet created by Mikaelabooks_ - you can click on the google link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... and then click on the "use template" in the upper corner. It will download a copy of the template spreadsheet and you can save a copy for yourself and start using.

Weird. I didn't realize that was so. Interesting to know.

It's the second by the author. The first is THE TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES. They're set in the same fantasy world, but are standalone stories. You don't have to read TELLER first to enjoy KEEPER, but TELLER is really good too, so you might want to.

Edelweiss+ Edelweiss, by Above the Treeline, is the book industry’s platform to sell, discover, and order new titles.

I got it on Edelweiss and looks like it's still there?: www.edelweiss.plus?sku=97982172...

Great chat everyone. Next up for me will be one of:

I did too. #ewgc

Ooh,looks intriguing. #ewgc

THE SILENT ONES is an Irish crime novel set in 1980 (so an historical?!) and introduces Garda Mary Shea. Mary is a lone woman officer struggling to make her way among her unwelcoming male colleagues. When a baby's body is found on the beach, she feels compelled to find out why. #ewgc
