Janet Schneider Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Janet Schneider

Chiming in late with a summer hit prediction: Ally Carter’s THE BLONDE IDENTITY (Aug). LOVED the brilliant heroine & everything about this road trip/amnesia adventure about a woman who discovers she’s the twin sister of a rogue spy. Chef's kiss. #ewgc @librarylovefest https://t.co/2Fr1tNrjZc

Focus has been elusive this year and #libfaves20 is a smaller list for me. Meaningful reads which beautifully consider how to cope with and heal from loss were DEAR EDWARD by Ann Napolitano and FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER by Rachel Beanland.

I could not put down THE ART OF SCANDAL by Regina Black —what a voice! Serious themes, & seriously steamy (Aug 1).#ewgc

John. Irving. So excited about THE LAST CHAIRLIFT this October. Set partly in an Aspen ski resort, drama ensues when the past resurfaces. #ewgc https://t.co/WIeRueVHOj

Much, much love for three sweeping, immersive masterpieces featuring strong female characters: THE VANISHING HALF by Brit Bennett, THE EXILES by Christina Baker Kline and THE PULL OF THE STARS by Emma Donoghue. #libfaves20

Channeling Diana Gabaldon, (but without the time travel) Grace Burrowes' THE CAPTIVE DUKE (Jan) is a thought-provoking can't-put-down romance. #ewgc @SBKSLibrary

Same, @robinsbooks. Possible trend alert? Another good one is just-released BIG RED by Jerome Charyn, about Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. #ewgc https://t.co/pFjZpHgmfC https://t.co/uli879mmWu

Spring holds alert for this one: THE COVENANT OF WATER (May) by Abraham Verghese, author Cutting for Stone, spanning the years 1900 to 1977 in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast. Three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction. #ewgc https://t.co/QbBzv45Nr2

Set among environmentalists in New Zealand, Booker-prize winner Eleanor Catton will have holds surging in March with BIRNAM WOOD, a witty, character-driven psychological thriller wrapped up 432 pgs. #ewgc https://t.co/hwN0prr2y0
