This is NOT a romantasy. Thank you to all the reviewers who pointed that out, or I'd have missed something truly special. I don't remember last time I enjoyed a fantasy book so much. This grimdark gem gets an easy 5 star rating from me! 📚💙

I wish I could tell you how delightfully nutty and accomplished this book is but I'd be short of words The MC could do the worst things, but she always does them with the best of intentions 😋 A Good Person by @kirstenking.bsky.social is a must pre-order/request to review. Out in March! 📚💙

Another 2026 title recommendation from me 🥁 How To Get Away With Murder by Rebecca Philipson is a fresh one in an otherwise largely monotonous genre. Worth a try for those who like police procedurals 📚💙 Thanks @minotaurbooks.bsky.social for my early copy!

Shazzie @readeratwork.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Shazzie @readeratwork.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead by Mai Nguyen is one of the best I've read this year Shows all-consuming grief and the graph of learning to live with the loss of a loved one, sprinkled with dark comedy Pre-order! Out via @atriabooks.bsky.social in April 2026, thanks for my ARC 📚💙

Must read for fans of contemporaries and litfic, Other People's Fun by Harriet lane has a quietly obsessive narrator slowly seems less and less reliable Out next month, thanks @littlebrown.bsky.social for my early copy! Out by @wnbooks.bsky.social in the UK later this month 📚💙

One of the only books I didn't junk in the last few months: The Recovery of Rose Gold was a one-sitting read! Good to read about Munchausen by proxy first, tbh I am conflicted about some things but it's a really pacy and confident thriller More here: www.instagram.com/p/DOimBZtE__... 📚💙

I had a few decent reads this month but these impressed! Two thrillers, one of them my most anticipated title this year, as well as a contemporary litfic are in my picks My thoughts: readeratworkblog.wordpress.com/2025/06/02/s... 📚💙 @atriabooks.bsky.social @scribnerbooks.bsky.social

Covers of the books Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell, Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild and Nesting by Roisin o'Donnell

A high-functioning homocidal person is accused of four murders and fights to clear her name as she didn't commit one of them Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothschild was published a while ago but is still an absolutely fresh thriller. I would love more in this format! @orionbooks.bsky.social 📚💙

I took my time with Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell. It is well done, and gives us a window into the healing attempt of a woman with a coercive spouse Hopeful, and yet explores how the odds are stacked against women in such relationships and how hard it is to stay away or just leave 📚💙

Shazzie @readeratwork.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Just the one pick this month, and it's a very good one for those who love their police procedurals! My thoughts are here: readeratworkblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/04/s... @jocallaghankat.bsky.social 📚🪐
