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

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

Hi #EWGC, we are still unpacking from #ALAAC23, a real good time. Here's a sampling of Fall 23 titles that caught our attention. Our feelings were reinforced at our booth in Chicago, where they stopped attendees in their tracks. Available to read digitally, enjoy!

MRS. PLANSKY'S REVENGE may be the feel-good novel of 2023. A well-do-do retired senior falls for a grandparent scam and her bank accounts are drained. She boldly travels all the way to Romania to try to get her money back. Macmillan 7/25 release. #ewgc @ewgc #bookstodon @bookstodon

Historical novel THE WITCHING TIDE by Margaret Meyer reimagines what living through 17th century witch trials would really be like, as neighbor turns on neighbor amid unhinged religious hysteria. September 5 from Simon & Schuster. #ewgc @ewgc #bookstodon @bookstodon

#EWGC Covers with fruit, perfect for LibraryReads, vote please! GOODBYE EARL is a funeral for all the “Earls” out there and a celebration of enduring sisterhood. THE APOLOGY is part ghost story and part family epic, told through the voice of an unforgettable centenarian.

If you haven't picked up ONE SUMMER IN SAVANNAH by librarian @terahsharris yet, what are you even doing with your life?!?
