#ewgc Just drying my eyes after reading MADELINE MCKNIGHT SIGNS OFF. Wealthy but antisocial woman wants to mend fences during her last months by hiring her ex-best friend's daughter. Beautiful story of family, multi-generational friendships and misunderstood financial mavens. @ssedlib.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

#ewgc Halfway through a space romantasy that is just as good as her viking books. DEFY THE DUSK has an enemies to lovers vibe, tyrannical politics and really scary monsters that hide like smart gophers - everything you want! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc Excited (and maybe a little fearful) to start PUBLIC ACCESS AFTERWORLD. TV static pulls unsuspecting viewers into a hidden world. Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode on steroids and anyone who spends time near a screen should be afraid. Love a good scary story! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

#ewgc HEAR THE DEAD takes an older punk rock photographer whose hearing loss enables her to hear the last moments of murdered female singers. Love that the main character is a woman of a certain age and tough. Great thriller. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

#ewgc A fantastic audiobook that made me drive extra miles. WINTERSET HOLLOW takes three friends on a trip to honor their favorite children's book only to have it become a nightmare. Think of the talking animals of Narnia with weapons. Great narration. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

#ewgc Just started PECK & PECK and Bonnie Garmus still has me hooked. A gentle soul takes a job at a poetry magazine and gets more than he bargained for. Hard for me to put down. @ssedlib.bsky.social

#ewgc One of my favorite authors Elizabeth Kostova has written a sequel/standalone - MYSTERY PLAY involves the son continuing his mom's research and the immortality of a famous playwright and ancient evil. Reads like classic horror tales of monsters among us. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

#ewgc Enjoying ROYAL WITCH by Phillippa Gregory. Ambition run rampant along with political scheming and backstabbing in 1400's England. Feels like "Real Housewives of Westminster" @librarylovefest.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

#ewgc LIFE OUT OF ORDER is a sequel that feels fresh. The daughter of our time traveler is living her own mixed up timeline. Good thing she has friends. Many have been waiting for this one for a long time. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

#EWGC Last for me is MYSTERY PLAY. HISTORIAN sequel/standalone with the same moody feel of a son mourning his mom who goes digging into her past and finds trouble in the form of an ancient book. Moody and mysterious in all the right ways. A real neck-biter! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

081

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

#EWGC LITTLE RED DEATH is a taunt tale of a kidnapped woman who must write murderous fairy tales for her captor or die herself. Complicated and Grimm ,but I like the idea. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC First for me is EXIT PARTY. It is the end of the U.S. as we know it and what happens at a party when doppelgängers appear and an experiment goes awry. Multi layered, beautiful writing. @prhlibrary.bluesky.social

#EWGC My fave so far- THE PIRATE QUEEN. A landlocked lord's wife longs to return to the sea. At his death she flees to take her place as a ship's captain and becomes Queen Elizabeth's biggest enemy. Incredible writing of a tough woman who refused to bend to men or a queen. @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

#EWGC TIME TO BURN is how a megalomaniac tech guy gets into hot water as his time travel company runs into a snag while the documentarian is taping his story. Tech Icarus and a woman with a past who wants to change the past. Can't put this down! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

061

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

#EWGC SUFFER A WITCH is an unusual historical survey of mistreated women accused of witchcraft and a memoir based on the author's own mistreatment of abuse. Fascinating and relevant to women who have suffered trauma. Intense writing and a book all women should read! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#EWGC SUNRISE is a mystery that takes place over a hundred year span. A plane crash victim finds a ghost town full of mystery but what she really needs is bear spray, food and shelter. Really enjoying this one so far! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

#ewgc I seem to be on a" tales of the sea" roll. A FATE WORSE THAN DROWNING is a young woman trying to protect her younger sister and ends up making a bad deal with the devil. Gothic ghost story in a lighthouse against an angry sea. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

051

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

#ewgc MOST ARDENTLY YOURS is what happens when a fictional character - Mr. Darcy gets loose after a book lover steals a book she shouldn't have. Getting Darcy back is much harder. Cute and a must for Austen fans. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

#ewgc EVERYTHING TO THE SEA is a story of a great love gone asunder, a tsunami that rips a Hawaiian island and families apart, a the community that forms after. Undulating waves of joy and sorrow make it believable and heartbreaking. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

#ewgc The AMATEUR is a very different story from Chris Bohjalian. A teen golf prodigy accidentally kills a caddie which sets her life on a different course. Drugs, sex with much older men and the law after her as told from her POV. Wild child with a wild story! @prhlibrary.bsky.social

031

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

#EWGC Starting with HABITS OF THE SEA which I devoured. A floating island that promises immortality and closure to the woman who believed in it. Moody and old school romance. @simonandschuster.bsky.social

#EWGC Keep an eye out this fall for THE FIRST LADIES' GUIDE TO MURDER. Behind the scenes at the White House where former First Lady Mrs. Grant, daughter Nellie and First Lady Francis Cleveland investigate a murder that the men dismiss as well as them. Fascinating history and tough women!

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

#EWGC Just finished THE CHILDREN. A dark cautionary fairy tale involving the many ways famous creative parents can mess up their children. Haunting and I felt a lot of vertigo trying to reason out what was real and what was from their made up childhood in mom's written pages. Wow! @librarylovefest

030

Kim McGee @kimsbookstack.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

#EWGC Just finished a delightful getaway to Tuscany and an eccentric baroness. VILLA COCO takes a young man to Italy to catalogue her art only to find himself acting as a gardener, taxi driver, travel companion, wine maker and most of all - friend. Delightful in every way! @prhlibrary.bsky.social
