Here are the latest advance review copies that have landed in my mailbox:
Rachel’s Legacy by Julie Thomas. From the description: When Dr Kobi Voight is given a set of old letters by his mother, he has no inkling that they will lead him around the world and deep into his family’s tragic past. Within the letters – written in Hebrew and filled with delicate illustrations – lie the reflections of a young Jewish woman, forced to give up her baby daughter while fighting with the Resistance in Berlin.
Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams. From the description: One morning, Nadia’s eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper: To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I’m the guy who’s always standing near the doors… Drink sometime? So begins a not-quite-romance of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word.
The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar. From the description: Set in Iran in the decade following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, this moving, richly imagined novel is narrated by the ghost of Bahar, a thirteen-year-old girl, whose family is compelled to flee their home in Tehran for a new life in a small village, hoping in this way to preserve both their intellectual freedom and their lives. But they soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land.
Follow Me by Kathleen Berber. From the description: Everyone wants new followers…until they follow you home. Audrey Miller has an enviable new job at the Smithsonian, a body by reformer Pilates, an apartment door with a broken lock, and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers to bear witness to it all.
A bit of romance, world literature, history and suspense. I think I’ve got some great reading material ahead. Have you heard of any of these and which one would you start with first?
Well, you know you…I’d start with FOLLOW ME. That being said, my first question to ‘Audrey Miller’ is ‘why is the lock on your apartment door broken and why haven’t you gotten it fixed?’ – ha! A job at the Smithsonian sounds like fun. Enjoy!
OK, I find it difficult to resist a trove of letters, so Rachel’s Legacy is now on my list!
Our Stop sounds so cute! I want it. 🙂
All the books sound interesting! Hope you enjoy them all, Iliana!
