So many great new titles! Are any of these on your list?
As an alternative to Amazon, I’m trying the Bookshop program – order books from them and $2.00 of your purchase will go to the indie bookstore of your choice! (I will also receive a percentage of the sale at no cost to you.) For your convenience, I have lists set up for each new release week! Check out my lists here!

Acevedo’s latest is out??!!! I LOVE her books. I’ll have to see if it’s out in audio yet because her narration is A+
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
Hoping the same!
I won a copy of The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, and I cannot wait for it to get here!! It looks and sounds AMAZING.
