@didic For a little older, THE MONSTER OF ELENDHAVEN by Jennifer Giesbrecht and YELLOW JASMINE by Caitlin Starling are good. Don't know about audio availability though.

Although I missed the pub date for THE ENGINEER'S APPRENTICE by @africanraingod, I gotta take time out of my day to recommend it to anyone looking for a great steampunk alt-history fantasy novel. https://t.co/g2dAQP4JcR

@ScottKing A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone is all I can think of off the top of my head (it's very good). I don't read a lot of Christmas romance. If you have hoopla, they have several on there, but they're not great quality.

Everything queer and/or BIPOC, especially contemporary. YA fantasy series are also popular (can't keep Ember in the Ashes on the shelf). ACE OF SPADES by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé is the one that has gotten the most buzz this year. So many of my students loved it. #AskALibrarian https://t.co/pPmJIRMLcN
