#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 · 06/08/2026

#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 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 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 · 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

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 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
