You know what I love about the fall? The Fall Festivals! There’s some great ones coming up near me, and I always stop at the Friends of the Library or local bookstore booths to see what goodies I can find. We are still a week or two from our Fall Festival here, so I’m taking advantage of these new releases today!

You can order your copies by clicking the images below.

Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop

by Jenny Colgan

This cute holiday book is actually a sequel to Colgan’s The Christmas Bookshop. When the store is taken over by a film crew making a holiday movie, the staff don’t know how to react at first. After the store receives their location fees, all sorts of new opportunities open up!

The Leftover Woman

by Jean Kwok

I don’t normally choose thrillers, but this one sounds really good! A Chinese woman flees her controlling husband all the way to NYC, but he’s hot on her trail. She’s looking for her daughter that was taken at birth. Another woman is living a great life of plenty and enjoying time with the little girl she just adopted. It’s a tale of motherhood and identity…but is most definitely a thriller!
