And just started listening to ROSES, IN THE MOUTH OF A LION by Bushra Rehman thanks to @librofm's ALC program--it's a coming-of-age story about a Muslim-American girl growing up in Corona, Queens. #ewgc https://t.co/Sdewg0hcZJ

Fans of dual timeline historical fiction should keep an eye out for Lola Jaye's moving THE ATTIC CHILD, about two abused children imprisoned in the same attic decades apart. #ewgc https://t.co/uns0FHuheh

I read THE LEFTOVER WOMAN by Jean Kwok right before hearing her speak at ALA and absolutely loved it. A really moving and well-written story of two women whose lives dramatically collide. Definitely check this one out for LibraryReads voting! #ewgc https://t.co/ti4qENNXXt

My top rave today is absolutely YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO DIE BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN TO LIVE by Paul Kix, which blew me away with its moving look at 1963 Birmingham and how people came together to effect change there despite the odds. A book to give us hope in hard times! #ewgc https://t.co/ukegMoVUIu

Also currently reading GATOR COUNTRY by Rebecca Renner, a fascinating look at the attempts to protect alligators in the Everglades from poachers. Really interesting so far! #ewgc https://t.co/Lc3Q0Uverv

I picked up NO ONE WILL COME BACK FOR US by Premee Mohamed after seeing it recommended here last GalleyChat! Taking it slow but really enjoying the eerie otherwordly vibes of the stories. #ewgc https://t.co/R40E3E9HmV
