New Releases of the Month

-
As I may have mentioned, October is my absolute favorite time of year!  While I spent quite a bit of time coming up with an absurdly long list of spooky books I want to read, there are also some really great new releases coming out this month:

The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
Nonfiction
Release date 10/16/2018

The author investigates the true story of a devastating fire at the Los Angeles Public Library and, through that story, she learns about the history of libraries and their impact on all of us.  This looks perfect for anyone who considers themselves to be a book lover.



The Witch of Willow Hall

by Hester Fox
Fiction
Release date 10/2/2018

This story of a normal girl who uncovers magic powers looks perfectly creepy.  This one is definitely on my list!



The Clockmaker's Daughter

by Kate Morton
Historical Fiction
Release date 10/9/2018

The publisher describes this as "...a story of murder, mystery, and thievery, of art, love, and loss."  I'm intrigued!

The Liar's Daughter  by Megan Cooley Peterson Release date 09/10/2019 284 pages 4 out of 5 stars According to the publisher, " Seventeen-year-old Piper knows that Father is a Prophet. Infallible. The chosen one. She would do anything for Father. That's why she takes care of all her little sisters. That's why she runs end-of-the-world drills. That's why she never asks questions.
