Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026DIVINE SHADOWS was a perfect conclusion to the incredible dark fantasy duology, that started with The Lost Reliquary, by Lyndsay Ely. Highly recommend. #ewgc 150

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Jane Casey’s new thriller EVERYTHING SHE DIDN’T SAY is nicely paced and twisty. She’s still an auto read for me. #ewgc 040

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Kristan Higgins is an auto-read for me and THE ME I USED TO BE makes me want to continue that pattern. Four women re-unite 25 years after a tragedy broke up their childhood friendship. Funny and poignant and all the feels. #ewgc 150

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026THE HEIGHTS by Ian Rankin is a standalone thriller with a murder that occurs in an luxury high rise development in London. Everyone has secrets and the police have to dig deep, while avoiding upsetting the rich and powerful, to solve it. #ewgc 060
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026In the third in the Berit Gardner series Berit is spending the winter on an island off the coast near Stockholm.

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026MONSTER IN THE MIRROR by Janasha Prabhu is a dark mystery thriller about a woman trapped in her hometown where everyone thinks she's a killer and another murder happens. Atmospheric, melancholy and gritty. #ewgc 060
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026So happy to have a new Lisa Kleypas as there just isn't that much published in historical romance. Loved QUEEN OF LOMBARD STREET set in Victorian England and featuring a heroine who wants to start her own bank for women. #ewgc 2100
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Robert Jackson Bennett's new one, A TRADE IN BLOOD, in the Ana and Din series is another politically complicated fantasy/sf mystery. #ewgc 071

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 16/06/2026A box of books is a great way to start the day. Thanks @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social - now I just have to decide where to start. #bookmail 000
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Detective Chelsey Calhoun returns in BEFORE YOU WERE ANNE by Emiko Jean. Here she's investigating the murder of a Japanese immigrant and the disappearance of her teenage daughter. #ewgc 010

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Nina Simon once again explores family relationships in MY SISTER IS GOING TO KILL ME - this time sisters who are on a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon when murder occurs. Great vacation read. #ewgc 130
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Just recently I was wondering if there was anything new by Lyndsay Faye, and then there it was. RAVEN - an atmospheric, gothic homage to Edgar Allen Poe. Loved it. #ewgc 160
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026ALL WE HIDE by Robyn Gigl introduces trans detective Lauren Kelly in a complex, twisty mystery. #ewgc 010
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Not always a short story fan, but truly loved TALES FROM THE TERRITORY by Travis Baldree - yes I love the L&L world, but what sold it for me was how each one deepened our understanding of a beloved character. #ewgc 060
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026BAD LIKE ME by Louise Griffin gave me Big Little Lies vibes and I loved it. #ewgc 010
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Not a book post (yet) but if you have Prime and subscribe to Britbox I recommend you run, don't walk, or click fast, to watch The Other Bennet Sister. Love it so much. #ewgc 170
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I'm here. Warm, sunny day here in Madison. #ewgc 040

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Today's #bookmail comes from @wednesdaybooks.bsky.social. So gorgeous! Thanks. 000
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 20/05/2026#Bookmail makes for a beautiful start to the day. What shall I read first? Thanks @macmillanlib.bsky.social! 000
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 07/05/2026My last mystery/thriller is WHILE WE WERE SILENT by Alex Myers - set at a private boarding school in Connecticut where traditions are dangerous for the girls at the school. #ewgc 020
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Olivia Waite's new novella NOBODY'S BABY is perfect if you're looking for a cozy SF/mystery. #ewgc 150
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Shari Lapena's latest, GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER doesn't ask the reader to guess whodunnit, you know that from the first pages, instead readers will wonder if they can get away with it as everything begins to unravel. A page-turner indeed. #ewgc 020
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Also a thriller, but one with dark, sharp humor, GET LOST by Justin Halpern - funny and dysfunctional and also filled with heart. #ewgc 000
Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Don't have as many titles this month as I've been in a bit of a slump, but do have a few. First up is UNDER THE FALLS by Richard Russo - a literary thriller set in a small, rundown town in upstate New York. Wonderfully done. #ewgc 050
