Up next for me is VILLAIN EDIT by Rosie Danan. I've loved her other romances with a paranormal bent, so stoked to see her take on vampires! #ewgc

Was very excited when I realized Mariana Costa, author of the upcoming KILL YOUR DARLING, is the same person as graphic novelist Mari Costa. Excited to see if I'll love her prose novel as much as I adore her comics! #ewgc

I adored Lana Harper's Witches of Thistle Grove series so I can't wait for her upcoming book, FIRSTDAWN, first in a new duology about a Chicago PI in a demonic realm. #ewgc

Yay for a new thriller from Alyssa Cole! Excited for IT TAKES A VILLAGE. #ewgc

You know I love a holiday romance. EIGHT WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU by Amanda Elliot delivered wintry coziness as it follows a pair through eight Hanukkah seasons. #ewgc

AN IMMACULATE DECEPTION by Isabela Livino was a fun twisty gothic set in historical Brazil. I devoured this one so fast- had to know what would happen next. #ewgc

ONCE IN A TIMELINE by Iman Hariri-Kia was oh so much fun. Very funny and entertaining but with real heart and thoughtfulness. #ewgc

Emily St. John Mandel is another favorite author of mine and EXIT PARTY was another absolute banger from her. Loved it. #ewgc

Currently reading AS YOU WAKE, BREAK THE SHELL by my favorite author, Becky Chambers. Absolutely delightful so far- so so happy to have a new book from her! #ewgc

Probably won't be ARCs but as someone who is currently living for my weekly epsiode of X-Men '97, I cannot wait for ROGUE X GAMBIT by Louangie Bou-Montes and Aabria Iyengar. Out Feb 2027 #ewgc

Kristin Cashore has an adult time travel novel coming next year! THE TRAVELING HOUSE. (She's know for her YA Graceling Realm series, but my personal fav of hers is Jane Unlimited.) #ewgc

Horror in translation from Cuba and Argentina! These both sound so good! WHAT THE FOREST DEVOURS/ Elaine Vilar Madruga and TO BEWITCH A HUNTER/ Luciano Lamberti #ewgc

BAD WORDS by Rioghnach Robinson has a blurb from Emily Henry and is a bookish romance and that's enough for me! He's an author. She's the critic who panned his work. !! #ewgc

New imprint Berkely XO is very exciting-- I adored DROWN THE BONES by Alexandra Kennington and was thrilled to get an ARC of REAP & SOW by Charlotte B. Plumb- both romantasies. #ewgc

I know many of us are big fans of Sarah Beth Durst's Spellshop series (because they are oh so charming and delightful!!). 4th book coming in January-- THE MAGICAL CHEESE EMPORIUM. That title! This cover! Squeeeeee!! #ewgc

My wonderful coworked nabbed an ARC of PUBLIC ACCESS AFTERWORLD for me. So stoked to dive into this tome (600 pages!) written by Jane Schoenbrun (!!!) - filmmaker of I Saw the TV Glow, so I'm expecting weird queer horror #ewgc

best discovery at ALA of a book that was not on my radar yet: LOVE, WITCHES, AND WAHALA by Christine Cowan-- cozy fantasy romance about a Nigerian witch! #ewgc

One of my favorite panels at ALA was debut authors. These books all sound so good and the authors were all so lovely! AN IMMACULATE DECPETION/ Isabela Livino, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU IN THE DARK/ Mathilda Zeller, THE MEMORY OF BORROWED BOOKS/ Meg Anderson, WINTER SONG/ Rebeca Lee Morales #ewgc

I'm currently reading ONCE IN A TIMELINE by Iman Hariri-Kia. Very enjoyable and very funny so far. #ewgc

I was chosen for the Chicago category!

Learned how to draw Tiny this morning. Thanks, @chronicleedlib.bsky.social !

I’ll be moderating a teen fantasy author panel next weekend at #ALAAC26. Hope to see you there! (Foster kitten for cuteness and attention; he will not be in attendance 😜) @sbkslibrary.bsky.social @macmillanlib.bsky.social

tbh, i'm a little hesitant about "dark academia" because there's just so much of it now, BUT... a comp to Grey's Anatomy??? okay magical medical school, you've got me intrigued. BODIES OF MAGIC by Freya Marske #ewgc

top of my TBR-- OUR CUT OF SALT by Deena Helm. a horror novel about three generations of Palestinian women and their haunted ancestral home. i'm ready to be absolutely devastated. #ewgc

Very excited for Adib Khorram's ISN'T HE ROMANTIC? I absolutely adored his first two adult romances (I'll Have What He's Having and It Had to Be Him) and I'm so ready for Arya's story! #ewgc

No ARCs yet and it doesn't come out until March 2027 but OMG the squeal I made when I learned we're getting a new Julia Armfield and it's about mountain climbers. UP TO THE LIGHT. I am oh so very hyped. #ewgc

Released earlier this week, but I adored MUÑECA by Cynthia Gómez- def one of my fav reads this year. Doll-related horror! Historical! Sapphic romance! Under 200 pages! Just a delightful lil treat. #ewgc

YOU'LL BE THE DEATH OF ME by Holly Michelle is super fun! Romance with a paranormal twist- very entertaining ghost shenanigans. #ewgc

HOW TO LOSE A LORD IN TEN DAYS by Sophie Irwin is such a delightful regency-era spin on the similarly named early aughts rom-com. I had so much fun with this one. #ewgc

Up next for me: FISHBONE CINDERELLA by Elizabeth Lim- multi-generational historical saga with a touch of magic. #ewgc
