The Lost Story: A Novel by Meg Shaffer US pub date - 7/16/24

Having been fortunate to read an early copy of The Wishing Game and adoring it, I was just as lucky to receive an invitation to read The Lost Story which I knew I had to read the second I could - growing up I absolutely loved the Narnia books (4th grade Scholastic book fair, ftw), have continued to love a good fairy tale and while I read the synopsis for this, I was immediately sold. 

Once I started this, I read it over a day as it was pure magic. With each chapter, I fell more and more in love with this story; it just kept getting better, and I didn’t want to stop reading. 

*The bit about fairy godmothers made me tear up. 

*And the romance? omg, omg, OMG! Chef’s kiss.

*The secondary characters are vivid. 

Gorgeous and perfect, I read The Lost Story with the utmost pleasure; it’s the best book I’ve read so far this year and has my highest recommendation,  I hope you love it as much I did ❤️

*I’m going to pre-order this as an audiobook. 

**I truly hope there will be more to this 😍

***Stevie Nicks is a goddess, the High Priestess, who really does transcend space and time

****thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us, @meg_shaffer

*****I’m also going to add Tiffany Reisz’s books to my list. 

Thank you to Ballantine and NetGalley for the DRC

The Beginning of Everything

I wrote (another!) book in 2020 and it's going to be published this September. (In the UK - stay tuned for updates about the US.) It's live for pre-order in all the usual places!

Always very exciting to see a designer's interpretation of a book. I'll write some more about the objects shown on the cover at some point.

Well, I wrote a book. And then I published it! You can own this beauty on all online platforms, and just in time for the 111th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.  I hope you will share with me in the delight of this book and in the knowledge that we have garnered all of these decades later. 

It’s a “poignant, romantic, and reflective” story about the Titanic that adds another piece to the sad puzzle of why this tragedy happened.

Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books: A Novel by Kirsten Miller 

US pub date - 6/18/24

.

.

As a human, a reader, and a mother banned books infuriate me immensely (however, since this is a book review and not an opinion piece on small frightened people who try to ban sources of knowledge so they can remain comfortable in their narrow and seemingly impenetrable mindsets; I’ll simply leave it at that). The title of this one immediately caught my interest. The synopsis caught it even more. And the stories themselves pulled me in immediately. 

.

One small Georgia town that has banned many books, and one little lending library whose pages contain much more than the cover might have advertised (and far more than the owner of the little library ever intended). Ms Miller has woven together timely and engaging stories, believable characters, and how small adjustments can change an entire community. 

.

I loved Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books ❤️ this one is an absolute recommendation.

In response to the worldwide epidemic of genocides and to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, Suanne Schafer has issued a second edition of Hunting the Devil, revised and with a new Author’s Note. The eBook of Hunting the Devil will be FREE from April 7th – July 15th to commemorate the hundred days of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. 

“There’s plenty of sharp, suspenseful action to savor here in this impressively poignant, hauntingly realistic, and searingly moving tale. Schafer intensively explores themes of racism, violence, war, and human welfare. Vivid, boldly written, life-affirming historical fiction drawn from the horrors of the Rwandan genocide crisis.” —Kirkus Reviews

Part medical procedural, part global political thriller, part vigilante novel, and part fractured romance, Hunting the Devil moves from the dusty washboard roads of Rwanda to an inner-city hospital in America to the Natural History Museum of Belgium to the halls of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania as it deftly traces one woman’s journey toward justice.

YOU'RE INVITED TO THE SUPPER CLUB

Welcome to Sullivan’s Island, an idyllic beachside town just outside Charleston, South Carolina. This serene, unspoiled sanctuary offers tourists a picturesque taste of the lush Lowcountry while the locals enjoy a laid-back, small-town lifestyle. Amidst an eclectic mix of newcomers and natives, lifelong resident and social maven Tallulah Wentworth’s legendary monthly dinners have united an unlikely group of women into the very best of friends.

To outsiders, this sunny, seaside haven is nothing short of paradise, but the residents of this beachside hamlet know that it harbors its share of troubles. Everyone has an opinion about the most hotly contested local issue—how to manage the maritime forest that’s sprung up on accreted land—and civility is quickly running out at both town council meetings and in online forums.

When a neighborhood meet-and-greet devolves into violence, several pillars of the community are led away in handcuffs. By the next morning, a very real, very dead body is the newest addition to Sarabeth Boone’s spooky Halloween graveyard display. But who could possibly be responsible for such a heinous act?

Did someone finally snap over the mounting tension between conservationists and cutters? Or was this a premeditated act perpetrated by an opportunistic killer masquerading as a trustworthy friend and neighbor?

The Sullivan’s Island Supper Club weaves a tale of mystery, friendship, and love—new love, old love, and second-chance love. Discover the lengths these women will go to protect each other and uncover the truth, even when it shatters the delicate balance of their seemingly perfect lives.

With her uniquely Southern voice, Susan M. Boyer delivers a fast-paced follow-up to the reader-favorite Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island. Perfect for fans of strong Southern women, twisting tales, and the breathtaking Carolina coast, this charming whodunnit mystery marries scandal and sisterhood for the ultimate reading treat.
