It’s new release Tuesday!! Do you love printed books as much as I do? Don’t get me wrong, I love my Kindle for the ease and portability, but the smell of a printed book can’t be duplicated! Here’s some great new books coming out today – stop by your local bookstore to grab a copy today!
By the way, today is International Day for the Elimination of Discrimination. So how do we do that as a literary community? By promoting books written by authors and starring characters from other cultures. There are several such books on this list today, including two children’s selections. I hope you enjoy!
Flux by Jinwoo Chong – time travel and violent crimes mix in this debut novel to spectacular results! Speculative fiction isn’t my typical go-to for reading, but this one sounds fantastic. Chong is known for short stories that have appeared in several publications, but this is his first novel.
Countdown by James Patterson and Brendan DuBois – touted as Patterson’s most terrifying thriller, it’s making waves in my book clubs! A CIA agent is tasked with saving the country with just 5 days. She’s not sure who she can trust, but she knows her failure will mean a terrorist plot will succeed.
Wandering Souls by Cecile Pin – Three Vietnamese children travel to Hong Kong after the war, believing their parents and siblings will follow. But when they are suddenly orphaned, the eldest of the children is left as caretaker for the little ones, trying to keep them all together. As they age, they start to grow apart as they find their own paths and stories.
The Wedding at Moonglow Bay by Lori Wilde – The wedding was picture perfect. Until an unexpected guess arrives, that is! This romance puts the bride between two brothers – both of whom she’s now married. From a NYT best-selling author, this book promises to be a light read while mixing mystery and romance!
Strangers in the Night by Heather Webb – Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra are two of the biggest names in Hollywood glamour, but not many know the true story behind their rise and fall…and love. While their relationship spanned decades, the pair were only married for 6 years. Having met when both were married to other people, the star-crossed lovers were more famous for their fights than their good times. Webb’s historical fiction brings this story to life over 70 years after their first fateful meeting.
The Mom Life by Linda Fruits – As a mom in the world of social media, I can tell you it’s not easy to navigate the constant comparisons and guilt of not measuring up to the picture-perfect birthdays and family photos posted on all the different platforms. Fruits expertly covers these topics and more (like trouble bonding with your baby) with great advice. Moms always seem to be shamed away from talking about these topics, but this book feels like a group therpay session meant to let you get it all out while feeling like part of a larger group.

Harold the Iceberg Melts Down by Lisa Wyzlic and Rebecca Syracuse – this cute story is the debut picture book for the author and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next! With themes of self-care, environmental awareness, and friendship, this is a great read for readers of all ages.

He’s an iceberg lettuce, but misses the second part of that on his name tag and thinks he’s melting, too!
