Hooting and snorting my way through THE DEVIL AND MRS GOOCH by @[email protected] (second in the "Household Gramarye" series). The footnotes! The ARC courtesy of @[email protected] was just what I needed. #ewgc
Murderbot is life. PLATFORM DECAY by @marthawells.com is up next in the series. Look for this treasure May 5 as our favorite SecUnit hilariously learns how to cope with emotions while, as always, rescuing and protecting hapless humans. @macmillanlib.bsky.social #ewgc
Kevin Wilson has serious fun with messy family dynamics. Here's a literal found family, discovered one half sibling at a time in search of their father in a cross-country road trip. RUN FOR THE HILLS is a don't-miss if you like Wilson's style. Thanks for the trip @librarylovefest.bsky.social #ewgc

Early Word Galley Chat #ewgc –where librarians talk about great upcoming books– has moved entirely back to Twitter/X so here are 7 galleys I want to download after yesterday's chat! #alttext for details! #bookstodon #ARC #TBR #books @bookstodon @librarians
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon well thank you! I have two brick and mortar libraries, two e-libraries, use both Edelweiss and Netgalley, and get email pitches. I could get boxes of print ARCs from publishers like my #ewgc friends but can’t handle that. I want to leave plenty of room in my reading life for serendipity: finding something on the shelves or getting a beguiling recommendation and dropping everything to read that book that is calling to me.
THE LAST DEVIL TO DIE is number 4 in the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman, coming September 19 from Penguin Random House. This outing with the Fab Four was as poignant as it was fun. Still adoring these characters! Joyce is my fave. #ewgc @ewgc #bookstodon @bookstodon
@hybridlib looks like we are still having it on Twitter although I'm doubling up today. Hope the ads don't count toward my read-tweets limit! #ewgc
10 out of 10. THE HEAVEN & EARTH GROCERY STORE by James McBride is my favorite book of 2023 so far. It's a saga, a mystery, & a tale about racism and ableism. From Penguin Random House on August 8. #ewgc @ewgc #bookstodon @bookstodon
The ending of this thriller, about a woman who finds herself alone on a cruise ship, made me simultaneously want to throw my Kindle against the wall and stand up and applaud the writer. Scary and exhausting but provocative. THE LAST ONE by Will Dean drops August 8 from Simon & Schuster. #ewgc @ewgc #bookstodon @bookstodon
