I like to look ahead to books I want to read, when they are publishing and whether I’ll buy or reserve them at the library. I know I said I’ll buy less books this year, but it could work the other way!
These are just five I have in my sights, however I have more!! I love checking out books to be published by authors I love!
The Summer of Lost and Found is another book in Mary Alice Monroe’s Rutledge family and the sea turtles of course. I see this one acknowledges the coronavirus which is interesting. I will definitely want to read it. May publication.
I’ve become a fan of Viola Shipman’s books and so of course The Clover Girls will be an automatic read. It seems to be about four girls/women and their friendship. May publication as well.
Another automatic read and it looks like this one will be great too, with it’s exploration of family what happens to embryo’s that are ‘abandoned’ because the mother has died. Even better Under Southern Skies publishes in April for audio and Kindle. Haven’t decided which format yet.
Surviving Savannah is an exploration of the ship Pulaski and a family that boarded it. It seems a couple may have survived. History professor Everly Winthrop hopefully gets to discover more. And the reader of course as well! Publishes March. This one I have pre-ordered.
Even though this is partially set in WW11 I can’t pass it by. Looks like a dual time line. It appears to have grief and resilience mixed in there, and I am sure lessons to be learned. Besides it’s written by Karen White! Publishes in April.

I am looking forward to the Viola Shipman too!

These are authors I want to read and all books that look absolutely amazing. I’ve been so focused on cozies lately but lately I’ve been wanting to branch out a little back into more women’s fiction and these all look the kind of books I’m looking for! Especially that Viola Shipman. And the Karen White. And also the Kristy Woodson Harvey. Okay all of them!
