Hello Friends – I hope you’ve been having a great month. I’ve been super busy at work but that doesn’t stop me from being excited about new books! Here are just some of the new releases I’m excited about this month and thanks to Netgalley and the publishers, I have some review copies.
The Private Apartments by Idman Nur Omar. A collection of linked short stories about the determination of Somali immigrants and their experience and longing for their homeland. On sale 5/2/23.
Bad, Bad Seymour Brown by Susan Isaacs. Former FBI agent Corie Geller and her retired cop dad, must solve one of the NYPD’s coldest homicide cases—before the crime’s sole survivor is killed. On sale 5/2/23.
Berlin by Bea Setton. Daphne arrives in Berlin only to grapple with the realities of living in a new country and learning a new language. And, things don’t go quite as planned. On sale 5/16/23.
The Second Woman by Louise Mey; translated by Louise Rogers Lalaurie. Sandrine is unhappy in her body, her house and her life. But none of that matters when she meets her man. If only the woman before her would stay away. On Sale 5/30/23.
One Little Spark by Ellie Banks. Jenna Abbott’s life went up in flames even before the fire started in Tenmile, Oregon. She was still coping with her husband’s affair—and the revelation that he got a much younger woman pregnant—when the fire finally died down, and Ryan was among the missing.  On sale 5/23/23.
Summer Reading by Jen McKinlay. When a woman who’d rather do anything than read meets a swoon-worthy bookworm, sparks fly, making for one hot-summer fling. On sale 5/16/23.
All of these sound so fun but I have to say Summer Reading is what’s calling my name right now. That’s exactly what I’d like to be doing, on a beach or on a vacation just spending hours reading and relaxing. Anyway, let me know what you think of these and if there’s one you are excited about.
These all do sound like fun, Iliana. I’m putting together a stack of books for the 20 Books of Summer challenge, and everything I’ve pulled from my shelves is either light summer stuff or mysteries. I like to save the heavier reads for fall & winter. Now to figure out what to pack for our upcoming road trip. I don’t read a lot when we’re exploring new areas, but I can’t not take a few books with me!
Summer Reading does sound like a lot of fun. That’s the one I want to check out now. 😀
These are all new to me and all sound good, especially Summer Reading! I just tried to read a light novel and found I wasn’t quite in the mood for them yet – guess it’s not summer until next month;-) Decided on a reread of Pride and Prejudice instead….I’d forgotten how much I love that book!
Summer Reading sounds like one I’d like. I just shared four books coming out that I’m excited for – all mysteries and thrillers (are you surprised?? – Ha!). I’d just love to have a summer full of good books – whatever the genre.
Summer Reading sounds like the book I want to read right now. I’m in the mood for some romance books lately so I’ll add it to my wishlist. 🙂
