Summer and Fall Reads for 2024

 A few really good reads have made their way to my desk in the last few months.  I'm excited to say that some publishing houses have started sending out physical copies of review books again, that really went away during the initial COVID shutdowns and many have remained firmly in the eARC arena, which is not really my happy place. 

So I'm sharing below some great physical ARCs I've received and then one eARC.  Two of these are not coming out until November, but both would be holiday gifts, so keep that in mind!  

The first picture is the most adorable book I've received in a while. I really didn't want to undo the ribbon to get to the really fabulous and fun sounding story - a bit of a cozy mystery set in a Scottish castle!  (Ribbon and sheep now set aside as a Christmas tree ornament!)

So the rundown here is: 

  • Willig, Williams and White - the trio with 4 previous books to their name comes out with The Author's Guide to Murder - out in November
  • The Bone Keeper by Luca Vesta - out this summer.  Scary stories told to youths perhaps coming true in the woods!
  • Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood - out now.  Note - while many have said her books resemble each other quite a bit, this is different and she describes is as more of an erotic book then rom-com.
  • Storm Warning by David Bell - out this summer. One Island, One Hurricane, One Murderer!
  • A Very Bad Thing by J.T. Ellison - out in November.  We all like to think we know the authors we love to read......but do we really?
  • Day-dreamer by Susie Tate - out now.  Susie writes real characters, which means sometimes you don't like them very much, but trust me - they all grow on you!

Enjoy your Summer/Fall reading!!!  :)
