One of the books I'm eyeing is HOW TO BE LESS USEFUL by Priyanka Mattoo (11/2026) that sounds a little too close to home. Part memoir and self help it’s “about reclaiming pleasure in mid-life vs. our curated efficiency and optimization. #ewgc

Jane Casey’s new thriller EVERYTHING SHE DIDN’T SAY is nicely paced and twisty. She’s still an auto read for me. #ewgc

Adored these recent reads: UPSTATE by Kim Van Alkemade, PECK & PECK by Bonnie Garmus, GOBLIN MARKET by A. J. Hackwith, and THE JEWEL OF CORLIVO by Kathleen Carr Foster. #ewgc

Coming out later this month, THE RALLY by Carla Vass. Partly a glamorous/decadent car rally across Europe and partly the story of a young female tech. entrepreneur ousted from her own company figuring out how to get her power back. @hachettelibrary.bsky.social #ewgc

Happy GalleyChat day, everyone! I can't wait to hear what everyone has been reading 🎉 #ewgc

#ewgc I must start with my absolute favorite, LUNA, PHOENIX, QUEEN by Julie Orringer, due out next month from @prhlibrary.bsky.social @aaknopf.bsky.social. I can't say enough about this one. I have shared with colleagues who also love it. All kinds emotions plus characters that stay with you.

All right is everyone caving and reading Dungeon Crawler Carl? 😆 Even one of my dance instructors is shooting through them. I'm very curious, but can't yet. #ewgc

Julie Leong's THE ISLE OF LONELY MONSTERS features an island full of creatures rescued from the prejudices and exploitation of the kingdom. They're rescued by a lonely monster hunter with secrets of her own... She's convinced to work with a sorcerer monk to capture the last dragon. #ewgc #booksky

OUR CUT OF SALT by Deena Helm was an emotional story of a Palestinian family haunted by generational trauma. The weaving together of different generations' stories was my favorite part of this one. #ewgc

It is going to be on Peacock. #ewgc

She wakes up with a new name, a fake ID, and no memory of why she ran. 🔍

BEFORE I DISAPPEAR by Cate Quinn is a twisty thriller about a criminologist in witness protection who can’t trust the people around her—or her own memories 📚 #EWGC

Hi All! I’m enmeshed in a separate project—everyone consider Library Journal’s Day of Dialog on Oct 22nd—so I haven't gotten through much outside of that, but I’m side-eyeing a bunch of other titles for when I’m through... or possibly as little bites between my required reads. #ewgc

Still summer here in South Louisiana. But it’s raining so, slightly cooler. #ewgc

Hey, everyone. I'll be late but will be there to talk about a few good books. #ewgc

TV series? Whoop! #ewgc

Gooooooood afternoon, librarian friends! What's everyone been reading? Are we getting into the fall vibe or still feeling summer? #ewgc

Are you going to Calgary? #ewgc
