@VNesting @kimsbookstack They should be here in the next couple of weeks and you are most definitely on my list!

THIS ONE! A visceral Southern debut as otherworldly & beautiful as it is unflinching & wry, THE SONG OF THE BLUE BOTTLE TREE by India Hayford (3/25/25) absolutely has my heart. A gazillion thanks to those of you who provided such gorgeous blurbs! https://t.co/NTW23KIXB7 #ewgc

@Laroodoo @JillRhudy @sharonlayburn @kimsbookstack @KensingtonBooks So sorry for the confusion! It's one of those wacky Edelweiss glitches we haven't figured out yet...But NORTH IS THE NIGHT is most definitely coming 12/17/24 in all its deluxe edition, stenciled edges, reverse jacket, foil casing, beautiful endpapers glory!!

@madpoptart @robinsbooks @bkwmn1992 @mrlzbth ALWAYS!

@VNesting @KensingtonBooks This is the book on our list that completely has my heart. Gorgeous language, unique protagonist, complex characters, immersive settings written by a naturalist, book club gold, both harrowing and triumphant. I just loved it so much!

Fans of Stacy Willingham & Gillian Flynn: get ready for this immersive Southern suspense about sacrifice, privilege, guilt, & the vengeful ghosts of a haunted past! GOTHICTOWN by Emily Carpenter (3/25/25) is the post-pandemic answer to THE LOTTERY #ewgc https://t.co/qkAbsE19xi

@VNesting Yours was better...which is why we're quoting you on the inside cover of the ARCs (alongside @kimsbookstack and @juliereviewsbks)! Here's a 'lil sneak peek...

Diane McPhail vividly reimagines Lydia Latrobe Roosevelt’s wild adventure of 1811, when – very pregnant & with a toddler in tow – she braved violent earthquakes, hostile attacks & more on the first steamboat voyage to conquer the Mississippi River. https://t.co/KWc6mPEnFa #EWGC

@kimsbookstack @PRHLibrary What a cover!

[vida @BookOfVida]

@Joe_Jones Waaaaant!

[vida @BookOfVida]

I second @VNesting (always)! This charmingly folksy, beautifully written novel is a great read...and surprisingly funny! I definitely didn't expect to find so much wry humor in THE FLOWER SISTERS (4/23/24). https://t.co/ZShDFNhDci #ewgc

@janet_schneider Amanda Skenandore is fab. I love how her novels always explore public health/medical history. We won't have print ARCs for a while, but I'm happy to put you on the list if you send me your address! VEngstrand(at)KensingtonBooks dot com.

@VNesting ReShonda Tate as in ReShonda Tate Billingsley!? Hot damn!

[vida @BookOfVida]

@madpoptart @jwbookworm I got to read this when the manuscript came in and you are in for a treat. So so funny. Very fresh. Crossover appeal galore!

[vida @BookOfVida]
