Be careful of the dark, dark wood. . . . From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep comes a haunting romance perfect for fans of Practical Magic, where dark fairy tales and enchanted folklore collide after a boy, believed to be missing, emerges from the magical woods—and falls in love with the witch determined to unravel his secrets. For as long as there have been fairy tales, we have been warned to fear what lies within the dark, dark woods and in Winterwood, bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, shows us why.
Happy November, booklings! Today is without a doubt the BIGGEST new release day of the second half of 2019, if not the whole year. Just today we have the new Erin Morgenstern, the Booker Prize-winning Girl, Woman, Other, the new Susannah Cahalan, two books about RBG, the Rivers Solomon/Daveed Diggs collaboration The Deep, and more! That means I have a great big list of titles for you today, and you can hear about some of these and more amazing books on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about The Starless Sea, Wake Siren, In the Dream House, and more.
And like with each megalist, I’m putting a next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved. It has been slow reading for me the last few months, so I haven’t read as many as I wished, but I did get to a few of today’s books. And there are soooo many more on this list that I can’t wait to read! Like, seriously, I want to read most of the books out today. Someone invent a way to stop time, please.
