A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping
“I loved this entertaining, slightly unhinged romp through magical Britain! This book manages to be cozy and lighthearted without erasing the difficult parts of life. With a diverse cast of characters including nonbinary and neurodivergent representation, this story confronts injustice with hope, whimsy, and an irrepressible sense of humour.”
— Zoe, Russell Books

The River Has Roots
“This lyrical fantasy novella is a retelling of a 17th-century murder ballad that has such a beautiful atmospheric setting and wonderful characters with a unique magic system built on grammar, about two sisters’ love that transcends the border between worlds. It’s stunning! I will definitely re-read!”

I See You’ve Called in Dead
“The kind of prose that makes your drink come out of your nose as you laugh, while simultaneously being the kind that has you immediately thereafter tearing up, in all the best ways. Wow. My heart and funny bone are full. Thank you.”

The Bewitching
“I really had fun with this book. It had the creeping tension of Shirley Jackson, a dash of Lovecraft’s twisted New England atmosphere, and a hefty heaping of Mexican witchcraft that makes for a damn good read.”

Great Big Beautiful Life
“Evelyn Hugo meets classic romcom. Emily Henry’s best yet. The present day love story mixed perfectly with the historical plot. I love an ending that feels inevitable yet not necessarily predictable and this romance succeeded at this task.”
— Laura, Annie Bloom’s Books

All the Blues in the Sky
“A beautiful story-in-verse that takes us through Sage’s journey of grief after her best friend’s death. This is an accessible approach to helping a child navigate the death of a loved one. Sage’s story is best enjoyed as an audio book as poetry is meant to be spoken; Bahni Turpin’s voice gives an additional layer of beauty to this book.”
— Donna, The Well-Read Moose

Sunrise on the Reaping
“Sunrise on the Reaping is a thrilling return to the world of Panem, offering fresh perspective and depth to a familiar story. Suzanne Collins masterfully weaves political tension and personal stakes into a gripping narrative that feels both timeless and urgently relevant. It’s a must-read for any Hunger Games fan craving a deeper understanding of the rebellion’s roots.”
— Lindsey, The Yakima Book Co & The Traveling Book Bus

Automatic Noodle
“I thought this would simply be a cozy sci-fi story about robots and noodles. But lo and behold this little novella managed to pack in commentary on the effects of war, climate change, bigotry, and community in one short story. I adored the robots, the very heart of this story, and their genuine love for each other, as well as the unique culture Newitz has created.”
— Victoria, Books & Books

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
“Chilling, grotesque, eerie. With powerful writing, this book does not shy away from all types of horror, including the injustices and violence of everyday life, particularly the anti-Asian hate crimes and racism experienced during the pandemic. An excellent and notable horror filled with ghosts, grief, and grit!”
— Baylee, Daisy Chain Book Co.

Go Luck Yourself
“Go Luck Yourself by Sara Raasch is a fun rom-com with great emotional breadth. I’m a sucker for enemies-to-lovers, and who doesn’t love a holiday theme? The spice is on point, although not the point, so if you’re not a huge fan of super spicy, don’t be alarmed. The banter was amazing. I had so much fun with this one!”
— Anna, Katy Budget Books

Our Infinite Fates
“What a beautiful love story—unfolding over centuries, over many lives, over many stories. Two lovers travel through time, killing each other before they turn 18. The how and why of this long fatal love chase at the center of it all is an added bonus. Beautifully written, beautifully read.”
— Millie, Cassiopeia Books

At the same time, you will want to join Vera in handing out big platefuls of love to the lost and vulnerable characters she meets. A perfect beach read. Well, a perfect any time read!
