It’s Tuesday!! Time for new books! The new release list today has some great options…what’s new on your shelves today?
Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler – This book was the talk of my book groups this week and was a #1 choice on The Book of the Month Club website for April! A love story between a beautiful young expat and a British man, this book looks at what it means to really love, and be loved, in today’s society.
Any Other City by Hazel Jane Plante – this is a fiction memoir about a rockstar. I am interested in this book because of the approach to the writing that seems like it takes a page out of the record industry – there’s a Side A and a Side B in the book to tell about two different time periods in the artist’s life.
Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club by J Ryan Stradal – If you like the series Virgin River, this one might be up your alley. Set in rural Minnesota, this novel follows two families from very different restaurant legacies. A tale of great losses, and how to rebuild and find your own way, this novel is tops on my list today!
Simply Lies by David Baldacci – the author is back with his latest thriller! In a cat and mouse game similar to the TV show White Collar a con artist and a law enforcement official lock horns in what could be life and death. Baldacci is a best selling author and I expect to see this one at the top of the list soon, too!
The Dutch Orphan by Ellen Keith – from the author of The Dutch Wife comes a beautiful tale of two sisters during World War II. One sister is married to a Nazi supporter, but the other is a staunch Resistance fighter. Both grew up in an area filled with Jewish neighbors, but now their social network is gone. When a Jewish baby faces deportation, a choice to shelter the child could either divide the sisters or pull them back together.
You Can’t Joke About That by Kat Timpf – Timpf is a Fox News contributor and stand up comedienne. Her latest project explores why the typical way we discuss sensitive topics just doesn’t work. Covering topics from ostomy bags to religion to bad Christmas presents, this book will feel a bit like a slap in the face to social standards.
Kids’ Books releasing today
Marshmallow Martians: Show and Smell by Deanna Kent and Neil Hoosan – I giggled when I read this title and my 6 year old asked me what was funny, so I shared it with him. And now he’s giggling like crazy! When I read him the description of the book, he thought it was a riot and asked me to buy it immediately – the Martians go to Earth to look for the human’s smelliest objects for Show and Smell. What do you think will be the smelliest thing they find?? I think this is going to be a hit for families everywhere….especially ones with smelly little boys!
Sunshine by Jarrett J. Krosoczka – as a teen, the author worked a summer at Camp Sunshine in Maine, a camp for kids with serious illnesses. As a teen, my best friend battled cancer and attended a similar camp in Georgia every summer. While many people looked at the author’s work there as potentially traumatic, Krosoczka has turned it into a motivation and beautiful teaching moment for kids everywhere. This graphic novel embraces the awkwardness of discussing illness and death, but will help your kids ask the questions to remove the elephant from the room.
The Forest Keeper by Rina Singh and Ishita Jain – Award winning author Singh and debut picture book illustrator Jain deliver a new book with the true story of Jadav Payeng. As a boy in 1979, Payeng started planting trees on a sandbar in Assam. In 2007, the forest Payeng grew in that unlikely place was discovered accidentally by a photographer who shared it with the world. This is a great story about how one person can change the world!
Wings, Waves, and Webs: Patterns in Nature by Robin Mitchell Cranfield – is your kid obsessed with patterns like mine? This book will be great for you! Full of STEM inspiration, this book looks for patterns in every day things and inspires kids to look for beauty in everything around you!
