Sally Smith’s latest Gabriel Ward mystery A CASE OF LIFE AND LIMB (following A CASE OF MICE AND MURDER) comes out in November. Set in England’s Inner Temple in 1901, Gabriel and Constable Wright must solve a murder that may be an attack on the Temple itself. #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social

Really enjoying the trend of books about libraries, bookstores & cafes in Southeast Asia. The latest on my list is THE SOYANGRI BOOK KITCHEN by Kim Jee-hye, a heartwarming novel about the healing power of books, perfect for those who love BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD. #ewgc @misterchris.bsky.social

Excited about THE QUEEN WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD — the latest in S.J. Bennett’s series of mysteries featuring the Queen of England. Set in 1961, it takes place in England and Italy as the Queen and her private secretary investigate a murder on the royal train. #ewgc @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social

I cannot resist F*CKED UP FAIRY TALES: SINFUL CINDERELLAS, PRINCE ALARMINGS, AND OTHER TIMELESS CLASSICS by Liz Gotauco, because… I mean, who could resist that title! #ewgc @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

OMG!!! So excited! I loved HULA. #ewgc

Just started BOG QUEEN by Anna North (who wrote the wonderful Western OUTLAWED). This is a dual timeline story about an anthrpologist who makes a monumental discovery about a body found in the bog, and the Iron Age age woman to whom the body belongs. Fascinating. #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social

Since so many people here have been raving about THE EVERLASTING and I love the Alix Harrow books that I have read, I hope to read it this month. A lady knight, a not-so-heroic historian, time travel, cross-genre adventure. Sounds promising, right? #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social

Really enjoyed THE LIBRARIANS by Sherry Thomas. After a game night program at the library, two patrons turn up dead and the librarians must turn to each other, sharing their personal secrets in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Why yes, yes it is. A very important character in the story. 😉 #ewgc

So excited that Xochitl Gonzalez has a new book coming out in April 2026–Last Night in Brooklyn. Anita de Monte Laughs Last and Olga Dies Dreaming were brilliant. #ewgc

I keep reading great reviews for RUSH by Beth Lewis so I am moving it up my list. Set during the Gold Rush in the Yukon, 1898. In a lawless land, a women is found murdered in a squalid alley, and three disparate women draw together to find out the truth of the murder. #ewgc #PegasusBooks

Me too. #ewgc

Just finished the completely delightful fantasy THE KEEPER OF MAGICAL THINGS by Julie Leong. Set in the same world as TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES, this lovely tale focuses on community, friendship, acceptance, and love. So good! #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Hi #ewgc! How’s are you doing today? It’s been raining off and on today so it’s “only” 89 degrees here. 😜

Started my second train book of the month last night and boy, is it different! A one day train trip goes wrong when a blizzard strands the passengers in the middle of nowhere and a passenger turns up dead. Don’t miss 6:40 TO MONTREAL by Eva Jurczyk. #ewgc @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

In the aftermath of the Civil War, freedom isn’t easy to come by for formerly enslaved Coleman and his sister June in Nathan Harris’ AMITY. They must travel across the brutal western landscape to find each other again and start a new life. Beautifully written. #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social

CROOKS. Lou Berney. I adore this writer. Need I say more? #ewgc @librarylovefest.bsky.social

Really looking forward to THE LIBRARIANS by Sherry Thomas. The quiet of a small branch library is disrupted when two people turn up dead after a murder mystery-themed event at the library and the staff must band together to save the library — and themselves. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

I was delighted to receive an ARC of LIVING IN THE PRESENT WITH JOHN PRINE by Tom Piazza. I’ve been a fan of John Prine longer than I’d care to admit, and love Tom Piazza’s writing. Cannot wait to immerse myself. #ewgc @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

I am completely fascinated by EDMONIA by Brianne Baker, the biographical novel about pioneering Black sculptress Edmonia Lewis who lived an amazing life in 19th century United States and Europe. Coming in April 2026. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

Currently reading BOUDICCA’S DAUGHTER by Elodie Harper. How hard is it to grow up in the shadow of the great warrior queen Boudicca? Her daughter Solina must find her own way after Boudicca’s defeat. Solina is a vividly imagined character and her story is immersive. #ewgc @misterchris.bsky.social

If you are a mystery fan, FIVE FOUND DEAD by Sulari Gentill is great fun. Think Murder on the Orient Express meets Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone. #ewgc @sbkslibrary.bsky.social.

Thoroughly enjoyed THE HARVEY GIRLS by Juliette Fay. Travel back to the 1920s in the Western United States when two very different young women with very different reasons become “Harvey girls.” Female friendships at their finest. #ewgc @ssedlib.bsky.social

If you’re a fan of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and similar books, be sure to read DINNER AT THE NIGHT LIBRARY by Hika Harada, a charming tale about a mysterious library and the assorted staff members who work there. #ewgc @htpforlibraries.bsky.social

Yay! Can’t wait to read THE QUEEN WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD! #ewgc

Less brutally hot here as well. The downside? Rain. Every flipping day. #ewgc

Good afternoon, #ewgc friends! How’s everybody doing?

Beautiful cover art! #ewgc

More titles in my virtual TBR stack: WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH by Lisa Ridzen, THE HARVEY GIRLS by Juliette Fay, THE COVER GIRL by Amy Rossi, and MONA’S EYES by Thomas Schlesser. #ewgc
