The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
Holy cats, I loved this book! It’s about a teen girl named Alice who has lived her whole life moving place to place with her mom. The only thing Alice knows about the rest of her family is that her grandmother once wrote a famous, but obscure, book of fairy tales. Then Alice’s mother goes missing shortly after word of the death of Alice’s grandmother, and Alice learns that maybe the land her grandmother wrote about wasn’t made up after all, and if she wants her mother back, she’ll have to visit it. I loved everything about this book: the language, the story, the descriptions. And whether it is a stand-alone or first in a series, I am thrilled with it either way.
Backlist bump: Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire.
Tempest by Beverly Jenkins
Jenkins is back with another wonderful, steamy tale in her Old West series! Regan is a mail-order bride, sent to meet her intended in the wilds of Wyoming Territory. When she accidentally shoots Colton, the man she’s supposed to marry, she has to wonder if it’s a sign that she’s made a bad choice. Colton wanted someone to look after his daughter. But in Regan, he may have found his match – and his soul mate. (Er, apart from the whole accidental shooting thing.) Can the two make a marriage of convenience into something more?
Backlist bump: Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins
Black Fortunes: The Story of the First Six African Americans Who Escaped Slavery and Became Millionaires by Shomari Wills
A fascinating, rarely discussed part of American history, about six former slaves – including the author’s great-great-great-grandfather – who became self-made millionaires in the Roaring 20s, and how they achieved their wealth.
Backlist bump: The Strange Career of William Ellis: The Texas Slave Who Became a Mexican Millionaire by Karl Jacoby
