Sponsored by Sponsored by Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia
Tuesday Mooney is a loner. She keeps to herself, begrudgingly socializes, and spends much of her time watching old Twin Peaks and X-Files DVDs. But when Vincent Pryce, Boston’s most eccentric billionaire, dies—leaving behind an epic treasure hunt through the city, with clues inspired by his hero, Edgar Allan Poe—Tuesday’s adventure finally begins. A deliciously funny ode to imagination, overflowing with love letters to art, from The Westing Game to Madonna to the Knights of the Round Table, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts is the perfect read for thrill seekers, wanderers, word lovers, and anyone looking for an escape to the extraordinary.
Put on your goggles and open your TBR list, because it’s another AMAZING Tuesday new release day! *Muppet arms* It felt like everything I wanted to read was so far away, and now it’s all coming at me like rapid fire! Though not as hard as the one that got Chidi on The Good Place this week, amirite? (I watched that twenty times and laughed every time.) So, I know this may come as a shock to you, but I have some great books for you to check out today! And you can hear about some of these awesome reads on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Kelly and I discussed Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts, How We Fight for Our Lives, The Grace Year, and more great books!
