With wit as quick as his marathon pace, Steven serves up life wisdom that is as hilarious as it is profound. He invites readers to embrace the power of their inner &#39;CrankaTsuris&#39; and use it to their advantage. </p> <p> </p> <p>Steven Joseph is ready to bring a fresh, comedic, and deeply human perspective to your show or column. </p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Bright Young Women: By Jessica Knoll
<p>Bright Young Women: By Jessica Knoll Read Blog: <a href="https://gobookmart.com/bright-young-women-by-jessica-knoll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://gobookmart.com/bright-young-women-by-jessica-knoll/</a></p> <p>Buy Now: <a href="https://amzn.to/46CRo8o" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://amzn.to/46CRo8o</a></p> <p><br></p> <p> Inspired by the real-life case of the “All-American Sex Killer,” the new novel from Jessica Knoll aims to flip the usual serial killer story upside down. Knoll’s book focuses on the women involved—victims, survivors, and investigators—and turns a bright light on the banality of evil.&quot;<br><strong>--Goodreads, 55 Most Anticipated Books of Fall</strong><br>&quot;Jessica Knoll is a careful writer, and this, her third novel, is a perfect match for her cold dissection of social mores and her fierce rage at misogyny. Knoll takes on the story of Ted Bundy, told from the perspective of a student who survives a horrific attack on a sorority house... Some may claim that the crime genre is rift with misogyny; those people have not read Jessica Knoll. She tears apart the restrictive world of women’s roles and lays bare the purpose of such hobbles: to keep women from making a scene, to keep them from seeking justice, and most of all, to keep them from seeking their own lives.&quot;<br><strong>CrimeReads/LitHub, Most Anticipated Books of 2023</strong><br>&quot;Bright Young Women braids the stories of two survivors, Pamela and Tina, and their fervent bond forged through grief and a pursuit of justice.&quot;<br><strong>—Bustle, The 35 Best New Books of Fall 2023</strong><br>“Something about fall weather begs for a thriller, and Jessica Knoll delivers with her latest.”<br><strong>—Country Living</strong><br>“A stunning, engaging subversion of the Bundy myth—and the true-crime genre.”<br><strong>—Kirkus (Starred Review)</strong><br>“Stunning… By focusing on the women affected by her Ted Bundy stand-in instead of the nuances of his criminal psychology, Knoll movingly reframes an American obsession without stripping it of its intrigue. The results are masterful.”<br><strong>—Publisher&#39;s Weekly (Starred Review)</strong> </p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Silvia Moreno-Garcia does it again with this creepy and unforgettable occult thriller, teeming with the decadence of old horror movies.

A crackling good police procedural. . . Cosby delivers a fine climax. Then, in an epilogue, he serves up a final treat that’s worth the whole trip. . . Fresh and exhilarating.”―New York Times Book Review, Stephen King<br>“S. A. Cosby’s novels always hit the grand slam of crime fiction; unstoppable momentum, gripping intrigue and deep character with a hard and telling look at culture and society. I hesitate to call All The Sinners Bleed his masterpiece because he has many more books to write and they only get better and better. Cosby no doubt carries the mantle of Faulkner with him as he uses the crime story to show us where we are and how far we still need to go. Sheriff Titus Crown lives in these pages and your heart. He&#39;s a character for the ages.”<br>―Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Desert Star<br>“Riveting. . . What elevates this book is how Cosby weaves politically charged salient issues ― race, religion, policing ― through the prism of a serial murder investigation and the perspective of one of the most memorable heroes in contemporary crime fiction. . . Deeply moving and memorable.”―Washington Post<br>“On the basis of four novels, each better than the last (andAll the Sinners Bleed the best of them all), it’s fairly easy to say that American crime fiction has found its future and his name is S.A. Cosby.”<br>―Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Small Mercies<br>“Cosby vaults his own high bar. . .His most deeply resonant, timely and timeless novel to date.”―Los Angeles Times </p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Prepare for twists, action, and one of the best books of the year.” —<em>Mystery &amp; Suspense</em><br> <br> “An action-packed adventure that delights much like the Indiana Jones films and the classic Romancing the Stone. It has everything, from killer snakes, military-grade assault weapons, and human sacrifice to romance and some top shelf lingerie that comes in handy for treating the wounded. A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series.” —<em>Booklist&nbsp;</em>(starred review)<br> <br> “Moves at lightning speed and never stops…This new series feels distinct from Evanovich’s other hits, but every bit as addictive.” —<em>Mystery Scene Magazine</em><br> <br> “Nobody cross-pollinates funny banter and unresolved sexual tension to better effect than Evanovich, and the mystery is all action, too.” —<em>Amazon Book Review</em><br> <br> &nbsp;“I burned through <em>The Recovery Agent</em>…Just read and enjoy.

Welcome to the 1960s, where a woman’s arsenal of tools was often limited to the kitchen—and where Elizabeth Zott is hellbent on overturning the status quo one meal at a time.”<br> —<em><strong>New York Times<br> </strong></em><br> "Strikingly relevant...Darkly funny and poignant...<em>Lessons in Chemistry</em>’s excellent experiment [is] quirky and heartwarming."<em><br> </em>—<em><strong>The Atlantic</strong></em><br> <br> "[Garmus] delivers an assured voice, an indelible heroine and relatable love stories...At the center of the novel is Elizabeth Zott, a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention...Elizabeth is a feminist and modern thinker […] in a world nowhere ready for her mind, character or ambition...[Garmus] charm[s]. She’s created an indelible assemblage of stubborn, idiosyncratic characters. She’s given us a comic novel at precisely the moment we crave one.”<br> —<em><strong>Washington Post</strong></em><br> <br> “Feminism is the catalyst that makes [<em>Lessons in Chemistry</em>] fizz like hydrochloric acid on limestone. Elizabeth Zott does not have ‘moxie’; she has courage. She is not a ‘girl boss’ or a ‘lady chemist’; she’s a groundbreaker and an expert in abiogenesis...To file Elizabeth Zott among the pink razors of the book world is to miss the sharpness of Garmus’s message. <em>Lessons in Chemistry</em> will make you wonder about all the real-life women born ahead of their time—women who were sidelined, ignored and worse because they weren’t as resourceful, determined and lucky as Elizabeth Zott.

First, it's a great read, a genius piece of storytelling. But second, this is true horror, the horror of everyday life that we make ourselves blind to, horror that is brutal, truthful, terrifying.

Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated.

The gripping writing and effective incorporation of horror elements, including haunting, inky artwork, are satisfyingly spine-tingling." -- <em><strong>Kirkus Reviews&nbsp;</strong></em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> “Olivia is elated to receive a letter from her uncle Arthur, inviting her to come live at Gallant, the Priors’ estate. Upon arriving, however, Olivia learns that Arthur is dead, and neither her ill-tempered cousin, Matthew, nor the manor’s kindly caretakers are expecting her. . . . [But] she’s determined to uncover the truth regarding her family’s past in this place. Evocative prose, eerie [black and white] artwork by Šumberac, and superbly rendered characters . . . elevate this affective, bone-chilling standalone from Schwab, which fuses Shirley Jackson’s gothic horror sensibilities with the warmth and dark whimsy of Neil Gaiman.” -- <em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> “Fourteen-year-old Olivia is grateful, if a little shocked, when she receives a letter from a previously unknown uncle inviting her to his manor estate, Gallant. . . . This story strikes just the right balance between menace and melancholy, and the undercurrent of grief running beneath the suspense and horror brings emotional nuance and deep sympathy for each character . . . Schwab’s exquisite prose is rich . . . A surefire hit . . . [for] any reader looking for a dark read on a stormy night.” -- Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books <strong>(starred review)</strong></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Together they create an unnerving portrait of a country wrestling with its ugly past and present.”<br> <strong>―</strong><em><strong>Time</strong></em><br> <br> “<em>My Monticello</em> announces the arrival of an electric new literary voice in Johnson, an emerging master of the short story form.”<br> <strong>―</strong><em><strong>Esquire</strong></em><br> <br> “This collection of stories harmoniously weds the ugly with the beautiful, the terrifying and the brave, the disappointing and the hopeful, and makes for a brilliant debut.”<br> <strong>―</strong><em><strong>Ms.</strong></em><br> <br> “It should come as no surprise then that the book has received advance praise from literary superstars like Colson Whitehead, Roxane Gay, and Charles Yu. Johnson’s fairly slim volume never feels slight in the least, as the stories contained within overflow with poise, maturity, and originality. The title story, “My Monticello,” may be the star of the show, but every single one of the six stories in Johnson’s collection brings something brand-new to the table, showcasing the writer’s indelible talent and reminding us that we’re going to be reading her work for a long time to come.”<br> <strong>―Shondaland</strong><br> <br> “History is the new dystopia. It’s where our best writers are finding the language to talk about the legacy of colonization and immigration. <em>My Monticello</em> (Holt, $26.99, Oct. 5), Jocelyn Nicole Johnson’s enthralling debut, only sounds thuddingly obvious: Its title novella tells the story of a group of Charlottesville residents (including ancestors of slaves) who hole up in Thomas Jefferson’s home during a white-supremacist siege.

Alderson sweeps readers in with Grace and Eliza’s personal journeys through a little-known portion of our army’s history. Themes of female friendship, bravery, and resilience radiate from the pages of this magnificent novel.” -- <em><strong>Booklist,</strong></em> <strong>starred</strong> <strong>review&nbsp;</strong><br> <br> "This is not just another WWII story: this is a stirring and timely novel about the only all-Black battalion of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, a group of women who had to fight resolutely against countless obstacles in order to be permitted to serve their country. Grace and Eliza stole my heart with their spirit and their resilience, and the ups and downs of their tumultuous friendship made me laugh and cry. Poignant and powerful; an untold story that you simply must read.”&nbsp; -- <strong>Natasha Lester, </strong><em><strong>New York Times </strong></em><strong>bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>The Paris Secret&nbsp;</strong></em><br> <br> "A thrilling anthem to the courageous sisterhood of the Six Triple Eight as they faced down racism at home and war abroad. SISTERS IN ARMS is a fresh look at the bold women who served America during World War II. A powerful debut!"&nbsp; -- <strong>Stephanie Marie Thornton, </strong><em><strong>USA Today </strong></em><strong>bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>A Most Clever Girl&nbsp;</strong></em><br> <br> <em>“Sisters in Arms</em> by Kaia Alderson is a poignant story about perseverance in the face of difficulties set against the uncertainty and danger of World War II . . . .&nbsp;From the start, they are set up to fail by their families, the Army and society but they meet every challenge with grit, grace and wit, overcoming personal and professional challenges to prove their mettle. Readers will cheer and cry with these trailblazing women as they break free of their sheltered and restricted lives to overcome individual and societal prejudices and succeed in a world rocked by war.” -- <strong>Georgie Blalock, author of </strong><em><strong>The Last Debutantes</strong></em><br> <br> “<em>Sisters in Arms</em> is heartwarming but fierce, a novel brimming with camaraderie and fire, starring women you’d love to make your friends. Prickly, musical Grace and bubbly, privileged Eliza may not make the most natural allies, but it’s fight or die when they’re thrown together in the Army’s first class of female officers—and the first Black women allowed to serve their country in World War&nbsp;II. . . . Kaia Alderson’s debut is a triumph!” -- <strong>Kate Quinn, </strong><em><strong>New York Times </strong></em><strong>bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>The Rose Code</strong></em><br> <br> “Grace Steele and Eliza Jones are among the first Black women in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, defying their families to enlist and facing even more racism than before when they put on their hard-earned uniforms. Unflinching, at times brutal, this novel pulls no punches while delivering a richly textured and unforgettable story of determination, courage, and friendship.” -- <strong>Janie Chang, author of </strong><em><strong>The Library of Legends</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

A true crime masterpiece with Chizmar himself as a key player in the grisly mystery. Highly recommended, but not for the faint of heart.”&nbsp;<strong>—Jonathan Mayberry,&nbsp;</strong><em>New York Times</em>&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;<em>V-Wars</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Patient Zero</em><br> <br> “A devastating, moving, and devilishly ingenious tale of murder lore, and an entire town’s loss of innocence….Brilliant and haunting.” —<strong>Eric Rickstad</strong>, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Silent Girls</em><br> <br> "We're all chasing the boogeyman, aren't we? The boogeyman's the past, the truth, our fragile memories that knit the two together. What Richard Chizmar's done for us in <em>Chasing the Boogeyman</em> is give that narrative a taut dramatic line he balances on, never quite tipping one way or the other, just stepping sure-footed all the way to the end—showing us that this is a walk we can all take, if we have the nerve." —<strong>Stephen Graham Jones</strong>, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Only Good Indians</em><br> <br> “Wonderful…a knotty mystery with an elegant resolution at its heart....It feels so original, dizzy-making in its expert layering of fact and fiction....A hymn to both innocence and to growing up.” —<strong>Catriona Ward</strong>, bestselling author of&nbsp;<em>The Last House on Needless Street</em><br> <br> “<em>Chasing the Boogeyman</em>&nbsp;perfectly captures the feeling of growing up in a small town facing an existential threat from real evil. Chizmar’s Edgewood is post-Bradbury-esque, not as idyllic as that author’s Green Town...it’s grittier and more grounded in a reality contemporary readers will recognize and respond to. Richard Chizmar has invented a new literary genre—brilliant!”&nbsp;<strong>—Bev Vincent,&nbsp;</strong>co-editor with Stephen King of&nbsp;<em>Flight or Fright</em><br> <br> “Chizmar’s&nbsp;<em>Chasing the Boogeyman</em>&nbsp;has been written upon missing person flyers and published on telephone poles. HAVE YOU READ THIS STORY? For your own safety, you should… The Boogeyman will soon enter the pantheon of suburban legends that fill our backyards like summer fireflies, his name whispered into ears all over. Pray you keep yours.”&nbsp;<strong>—Clay McLeod Chapman,&nbsp;</strong>bestselling author of&nbsp;<em>The Remaking</em><br> <br> “Impressive….a smart, entertaining ride.

56 Days: By Catherine Ryan Howard | Book Review Podcast
<p>56 Days: By Catherine Ryan Howard | Book Review Podcast</p> <p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://gobookmart.com" target="_blank">https://gobookmart.com</a></p> <p>''<em>56 Days</em>, Catherine’s newest crime novel, is without a doubt my favorite book of hers yet -- and destined to be one of my top favorite books of the year. This clever and claustrophobic domestic thriller utilizes the pressure cooker of Ireland’s strict COVID lockdown policies to amp up the tension between a newly dating couple who decide to move in together rather than be forced to stay apart when COVID lands on Ireland’s shores. This book is masterfully plotted, deliciously entertaining, and brimming with the kinds of clever twists and reveals that you really won’t see coming.'' --<em><strong>Crime by the Book</strong></em><br> <br> ''56 Days is definitely one for thriller lovers that crave suspenseful story lines. Catherine Ryan Howard is a mastermind with this one.'' --<em><strong>Fresh Fiction</strong></em><br> <br> ''I first fell in love with Howard’s writing in The Nothing Man and I jumped at the chance to read her latest. Even though I had a rough idea of what was going on with Ciara, I was still able to be surprised by the twist. I enjoyed the timeline jumps and the same story being told from both Ciara and Oliver’s perspectives. It gave a really rounded experience and reminds you that you don’t always get the whole story from one person. Perfect addition to your reading list!'' --<em><strong>San Francisco Book Review</strong></em><br> <br> ''Dark and dazzling, funny, sinister, and oh-so clever. I read <em>56 Days</em> in a breath held right up until the final, mesmeric pages. Catherine Ryan Howard is ridiculously talented.'' --<strong>Chris Whitaker, </strong><em><strong>New York Times</strong></em><strong> bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>We Begin at the End</strong></em><br> <br> ''An eerie, twisty story ripped from current headlines, in which a global pandemic becomes the foreboding hypotenuse of a dangerous love triangle.'' --<em><strong>Library Journal</strong></em><br> <br> ''Catherine Ryan Howard is a gift to crime writing. Her characters are credible, her stories are original, and her plotting is ingenious. Every book is a treat to look forward to.'' --<strong>Liz Nugent, internationally bestselling author, on </strong><em><strong>Rewind</strong></em><br> <br> ''As with Ms. Howard’s other thriller, <em>The Nothing Man</em>, this one is filled with a sense of foreboding from the first page. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is displayed in plain sight, if misinterpreted. <em>56 Days</em> is a thriller with a heavy atmosphere of tension, set during a life-and-death time in our own contemporary history.'' --<em><strong>New York Journal of Books</strong></em><br> <br> ''Howard structures her novel as a clever sort of countdown, dishing out slow reveals about each of the characters, until the shattering ending that I might label Tarantino-esque if it weren’t so intimate.'' --<em><strong>CrimeReads</strong></em><br> <br> ''Each new twist, dispensed with surgical precision, will keep you hooked, nostalgic for the days when COVID-19 was the worst threat.'' --<em><strong>Kirkus Reviews</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Laurel and Thatcher are strong and inventive characters, and their surprising decisions and evolving relationship will keep readers engaged. Brown shows why she remains in the top rank of her field.”―<em><strong>Publishers Weekly, Starred Review</strong></em><br> <br> “Brown doesn’t often delve into historical fiction territory, but she does here with gusto, and readers will practically taste the dusty streets of Foley and feel every rickety bump of the moonshiners’ trucks. There are shoot-outs and reformed prostitutes and a no-good hillbilly family, but none of it feels like an empty stereotype—it’s just all a lot of fun. Combined with Brown’s knack for romantic tension and page-turning suspense, this one is a winner.”―<em><strong>Booklist, Starred Review</strong></em><br> <br> "A masterful storyteller."―<em><strong>USA Today</strong></em><br> <br> "Brown deserves her own genre."―<em><strong>Dallas Morning News</strong></em><br> <br> "A novelist who can't write them fast enough."―<em><strong>San Antonio Express-News</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

This is a book that, for one night, made me stop asking ‘what am I even <em>for</em>?’ I’m prescribing a preorder to anyone who has ever felt lost. Stunning, kind, necessary.” ―Sarah Gailey<br> <br> "This was an optimistic vision of a lush, beautiful world that came back from the brink of disaster. Exploring it with the two main characters was a fun and fascinating experience.” ―Martha Wells<br> <br> "I'm the world's biggest fan of odd couple buddy road trips in science fiction, and this odd couple buddy road trip is a delight: funny, thoughtful, touching, sweet, and one of the most humane books I've read in a long time. We could all use a read like this right now." ―Sarah Pinsker<br> <br> "I read this book in one sitting when I was having a really wretched day, and it helped. It felt like a warm cup of tea made by someone who loves me. It's a soft hug of a book, and it says 'It's okay if you're not okay right now.' It made me cry the good sort of tears―the sort when someone is unexpectedly kind to you at the moment you need it most." ―Alexandra Rowland<br> <br> “The first book in Chambers’ new series feels like a moment to breathe, a novel that exists to give readers a place to rest and think… Recommended for fans of Chambers’ Wayfarers series and <em>The House in the Cerulean Sea</em> by TJ Klune.” ―<em>Booklist</em> Starred Review<br> <br> "Written with all of Chambers’ characteristic nuance and careful thought, this is a cozy, wholesome meditation on the nature of consciousness and its place in the natural world.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a masterful writer who pulls you into her dark world and never lets you go. From the suspenseful, slow-burn plot to the crisp, desperate characters, you will be obsessed.”<strong>—Simone St. James,</strong><em><strong> New York Times</strong></em><strong> bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>The Sun Down Motel</strong></em><br> <br> “<em>Velvet Was the Night</em> is a rollicking work of historical noir with a vivid sense of time and place and an unforgettable cast. Moreno-Garcia made me care deeply about her characters and their dangerous, riveting misadventures. This is a stylish hard-boiled novel painted in shades of gray with a whole lot of heart.”<strong>—Steph Cha, author of </strong><em><strong>Your House Will Pay</strong></em><br> <br> “Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes you into the gritty underworld noir of 1970s Mexico City with a propulsive read where no one and nothing is as it seems.”<strong>—Isabella Maldonado, bestselling author of </strong><em><strong>The Cipher</strong></em><strong><br> </strong><br> “<em>Velvet Was the Night</em> cements Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s incredible versatility as an amazing writer who moves effortlessly between genres.

Billy summers: By Stephen King | Book Review Podcast
<p>Billy summers: By Stephen King</p> <p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://gobookmart.com"><strong>https://gobookmart.com</strong></a></p> <p>“Stephen King is an artist, and readers and critics who underestimate him do so at their own peril…<em>Billy Summers</em>&nbsp;is a very good story, told economically with an ear for rhythm. It’s about what it’s like to be a human being, and how that doesn’t really change much, no matter what situation you find yourself in…while there are plenty of action sequences, the heart of this novel lies in its quietest moments.”<br> <strong>—Philip Martin,&nbsp;</strong><em><strong>The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette</strong></em><br> <br> “A love letter to the transformative effects of putting words on paper…the impassioned argument Mr. King makes for the role of writing in healing traumas is heartfelt and affecting…&nbsp;fast-paced and cleverly constructed…&nbsp;written with Mr. King’s legendary eye for detail, and his ability to immerse readers in the mindsets of fictional characters serves the story well…&nbsp;witnessing this deeply-scarred man discover a new way of seeing himself and his place in the world is beautifully resonant.&nbsp;Mr. King’s sheer pleasure in the alchemy of turning mere words into entire universes is on full display here, and it is contagious&nbsp;— not just for Billy, but perhaps for Constant Readers as well.”<br> <strong>—Wendeline Wright,&nbsp;</strong><em><strong>The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</strong></em><br> <br> “Stephen King hits the mark with assassination thriller <em>Billy Summers</em>…It’s downright unfair, really: Not only is&nbsp;Stephen King&nbsp;an undisputed&nbsp;master of horror, he’s a virtuosic&nbsp;crime novelist as well…&nbsp;King&nbsp;actually is as good at the hard-boiled prose—in this case, the tale of an extremely effective assassin trying to get out after one last job—as he is the scary stuff…&nbsp;King’s known for his literary villains, yet in creating his killer title protagonist, he exquisitely gets into the mind of a hitman and roots around in there to figure out what kind of person would do wetwork, the loneliness involved for those who choose that as a career path and the effect it would have on friends and loved ones…&nbsp;The biggest crime here, however, would be missing out on&nbsp;<em>Billy Summers</em>&nbsp;and King’s new reign as a pulp genius.”<br> <strong>—Brian Truitt,&nbsp;</strong><em><strong>USA Today</strong></em><br> <br> "King’s latest endeavor begins with a familiar premise: decorated veteran Billy Summers, a principled hit man on the eve of retirement, agrees to do one last job. Things go south in spectacularly bad fashion, making for a characteristically King thriller about luck, fate, and redemption. To see the undisputed master of horror shift into the realm of noir thrillers is proof that King can still surprise and astound us, all these decades later."<br> <strong>—</strong><em><strong>Esquire</strong></em><br> <br> "King has multiple novels in play here—thriller, at least two coming-of-age stories, and a knockout road novel—and he knits them together beautifully, never missing a stitch ...&nbsp;King has never been better than he is here at wrapping readers into a propulsive, many-tentacled narrative—complete with a perfectly orchestrated, moving ending."<br> <strong>—</strong><em><strong>Booklist,&nbsp;</strong></em><strong>starred</strong></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Instead, Lange offers them a chance to heal, reminding us that it’s never too late to mend old wounds and that the things that tear us apart can ultimately put us back together.

Publishes in May, I think. It's suspenseful and often wildly funny. You are going to like this a lot, and I think a lot of you are going to like it. It has that <em>Where the Crawdads Sing</em> vibe." -- Stephen King<br> <br> “What’s more thrilling than a fictional character speaking to us in a voice we haven’t heard before, a voice so authentic and immediate - think Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield, Mattie Ross - that we suspect it must’ve been there all along, that we somehow managed to miss it?&nbsp; Daniel, the protagonist of Will Leitch’s smart, funny, heartbreaking new novel <em>How Lucky</em>, is just such a voice, and I’m not sure it will ever completely leave my head, or that I want it to.”&nbsp;&nbsp; -- <strong>Richard Russo</strong><br> <br> “<em>How Lucky</em> is a gem: a riveting&nbsp;plot and a&nbsp;narrator who is charming, engaging, and downright inspiring.

Through brilliant pacing and with painstaking care<em>,</em> Benedict and Murray paint a vibrant portrait of a woman whose accomplishments, relationships, and secretive history were as complex and intriguing as the collections she helped curate…a timely, provocative read perfect for book clubs. I loved it."<br> —<strong>Kristina McMorris</strong>, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Sold on a Monday<br> </em><br> "From the opulent gilded age ballrooms of New York, to the fiercely competitive auction houses of Europe, <em>The Personal Librarian </em>is a poignant story of race, class and one woman’s struggle to live authentically.”<br> —<strong>Renée Rosen, </strong>Author of <em>The Social Graces<br> <br> </em>“The story of Belle da Costa Greene is timely, universal, and enduring.

What starts as sweetly genteel swiftly descends into everything that's brutalizingly ugly about the abusive master/slave dynamic.

It is both a searching historical work and a journalistic account of how these historic sites operate today. Its both carefully researched and lyrical. I mean Smith is a poet and the sentences in this book just are piercingly alive. And it’s both extremely personal—it is the author’s story—and extraordinarily sweeping. It amplifies lots of other voices. Past and present. Reading it I kept thinking about that great Alice Walker line ‘All History is Current’.”―<em><strong>John Green, New York Times bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed</strong></em><br> <br> “The summer’s most visionary work of nonfiction is this radical reckoning with slavery, as represented in the nation’s monuments, plantations, and landmarks.”―<em><strong>Adrienne Westenfeld, Esquire</strong></em><br> <br> “The detail and depth of the storytelling is vivid and visceral, making history present and real. Equally commendable is the care and compassion shown to those Smith interviews — whether tour guides or fellow visitors in these many spaces. Due to his care as an interviewer, the responses Smith elicits are resonant and powerful. . . . Smith deftly connects the past, hiding in plain sight, with today's lingering effects.”―<em><strong>Hope Wabuke, NPR</strong></em><br> <br> “This isn’t just a work of history, it’s an intimate, active exploration of how we’re still constructing and distorting our history.”&nbsp;―<em><strong>Ron Charles, The Washington Post</strong></em><br> <br> “The power of an itinerant narrator—Smith journeys to Monticello, Angola Prison, Blandford Cemetery, and downtown Manhattan—is that it reveals slavery’s expansive, geographical legacy. Smith tells his stories with the soul of a poet and the heart of an educator.”&nbsp;&nbsp;―<em><strong>The Millions</strong></em><br> <br> “Both an honoring and an exposé of slavery’s legacy in America and how this nation is built upon the experiences, blood, sweat and tears of the formerly enslaved.”―<em><strong>The Root</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

I devoured this in three days. The sharpest, clearest-eyed take on our #MeToo reckoning yet. Plus: enthralling." -- Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and The Fever<br> <br> "Perceptive, often amusing insights into a writer’s mind make this a standout. Lippman is in top form for this enticingly witty, multilayered guessing game." -- <em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> "Lippman never stops twisting the plot into a deliciously intricate pretzel, right up to the jaw-dropping finale. This is both a beguiling look at the mysteries of authorship and a powerful #MeToo novel, but that's only the tip of a devilishly jagged iceberg..." -- <em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> "Lippman (<em>Lady in the Lake</em>) nods at Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock in this hair-raising tale, but makes it wholly hers and completely riveting. She conveys the horror of being housebound and reliant on strangers, as well as the fear of losing one’s mind. It’s a page-turning, plot-twisting masterpiece." -- <em>Library Journal&nbsp;</em>(starred review)<br> <br> “The closest writer America has to Ruth Rendell.... What makes this book special, even extraordinary, is that the crossword puzzle aspect is secondary...[<em>Lady in the Lake</em>] reflects the gulf which then existed between what women were expected to be and what they aspired to be.” -- Stephen King, <em>New York Times Book Review, </em>on<em> The Lady in the Lake</em><br> <br> “Don’t miss this novel.”&nbsp; -- Anna Quindlen, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author, on <em>The Lady in the Lake</em><br> <br> “A cavalcade of narrators—including Cleo’s ghost, who wants Maddie to stop poking into her world—and Lippman’s expert storytelling bring the city’s tensions wondrously to life.”&nbsp; -- <em>People </em>on <em>The Lady in the Lake</em><br> <br> “Inspired by the unsolved death of Shirley Parker... Lippman’s ambitious novel weaves some twenty points of view into a seamless, vivid whole.

A novel that’s part action flick and part affecting rumination on moral responsibility within families.”<br> -- <em>Washington Post</em><br> <br> "<em>Hairpin Bridge</em> reads like a Stephen King novel and is especially reminiscent of <em>Misery </em>in how the characters shape-shift as the narrative progresses, leaving the reader wondering who is more dangerous—and more importantly, which one will prevail." -- <em>BookPage</em><br> <br> "Adams follows his debut, 2019’s&nbsp;<em>No Exit</em>, with another dazzling thriller. . . . Adams is a writer to watch." -- <em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> "There are certainly thriller elements, here, and in fact stretches of this book all but grip your wrists, but its deepest pleasures come from the mystery, the masterfully controlled revelations of what really happened at and off that bridge as the sister of the woman who died in that plunge uncovers them. That sister is a fully realized character, and getting to know her puts us in intimate touch with the victim, too—and, as really good fiction can (let’s recall)—with ourselves, too." -- <em>Shawangunk Journal</em><br> <br> The pace is breakneck, with Taylor Adams exhibiting exquisite control of his craft and material as he leads readers through the plot’s many revelations and reversals. . . . Violent, occasionally bizarre, and overall deeply heartfelt, this was one heck of a journey—one I’m extremely glad I took. -- CriminalElement.com</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

<p>Great Circle: By Maggie Shipstead</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://gobookmart.com">https://gobookmart.com</a></p> <p>“<em>Great Circle</em> is a masterpiece . . . one of the best books I’ve ever read”<br> <strong>—J. Courtney Sullivan<br> <br> </strong>“A sumptuous epic . . . exhilarating . . . this book delivers&nbsp;a series of&nbsp;ahas,&nbsp;of sweet, provocative points of contemplation that make the reader feel alive."<strong><br> —Leigh Haber, </strong><em><strong>Oprah Daily</strong></em><br> <em><strong> </strong></em><em><br> </em>“A soaring work of historical fiction . . . So convincingly does Shipstead stitch her fictional heroine into the daring flight paths of early aviators that you’ll be convinced that you remember the tragic day her plane disappeared. <em>Great Circle</em> is a relentlessly exciting story about a woman maneuvering her way between tradition and prejudice to get what she wants. It’s also a culturally rich story that takes full advantage of its extended length to explore the changing landscape of the 20th century.&nbsp;My top recommendation for this summer.”<em><strong><br> </strong></em>—Ron Charles, <em>The Washington Post<br> <br> </em>“A feat of a story in every sense.”<em><br> </em><em><strong>—Entertainment Weekly<br> <br> </strong></em>“Shipstead's&nbsp;writing soars and dips with dizzying flair . . . With detailed brilliance, she lavishes heart and empathy on every character (save one villain), no matter how small their role. Many authors attempting to create an epic falter at the end, but Shipstead never wavers, pulls out a twist or two that feel fully earned, and then sticks the landing.&nbsp;An expansive story that covers more than a century and seems to encapsulate the whole wide world.&nbsp;”<br> <strong>—</strong><em><strong>Boston Globe</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

She keeps it light, she keeps it moving and she’s got terrific visuals...You can watch the movie in your mind. Lady Gaga as Sheba? I’m already casting it." -- <em>New York Times Book Review</em><br> <br> "MARY JANE is that rare thing: An utterly charming, absurdly delightful novel that also makes you think deeply about the world around you.

The End of Men: By Christina Sweeney-Baird | Book Review Podcast
<p>The End of Men By Christina Sweeney-Baird</p> <p>“Sharp, timely and terrifying.”--<em><strong>New York Post</strong></em><br> <br> “[A] chilling dystopian debut thriller. . . Sweeney-Baird’s look inside the heads of these and other shocked, desperate characters and her portrait of a bizarre new world are both thought- and fear-provoking. Readers will either wolf this down or elect to stay miles away from it, but controversy moves titles off the shelf. A top choice.”<strong>--</strong><em><strong>Booklist</strong></em><strong> (starred review)</strong><br> <br> "Philosophically sweeping and emotionally intimate. . . [The] personal politics and gender dynamics are spot-on, and readers will feel connected to the main characters’ struggles and resilience.

Bacchanal: By Veronica G. Henry | Book Review Podcast
<p>Bacchanal By Veronica G. Henry</p> <p>“Henry skillfully layers historical realism with fantastic elements to explore the way times of desperation test the ethics of oppressed communities. Henry is a writer to watch.” <strong>—</strong><em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em></p> <p>“Henry’s debut draws on a rich history of folklore from various African traditions, as well as African history and Black American history, and almost the entire main cast is Black. The carnival setting works perfectly for bringing together various strange and magical people who aren’t at home anywhere else…Come one, come all, this magical carnival has all the delightful dangers a reader could wish for.” <strong>—</strong><em><strong>Kirkus Reviews</strong></em></p> <p>“[<em>Bacchanal</em> is] gorgeous while somehow never losing sight of the need to unsettle. It captures a sense of wonder and reminds you that too much curiosity can lead to danger. And most importantly, it’s Black and never lets you forget it. If you want endearing characters, a charming setting, and characters that refuse to bend to the world’s injustices then <em>Bacchanal</em> is the book for you.” <strong>—</strong><em><strong>FIYAH Magazine</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Website: </strong></em><a href="https://gobookmart.com"><em><strong>https://gobookmart.com</strong></em></a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Good Company: By Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney | Book Review Podcast
<p>Good Company By Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney</p> <p>"Sweeney’s effectiveness as a novelist stems from her protean sympathy, her ability to move among these characters and capture each one’s feelings without judgment. As we see some of the same events from various points of view, we don’t learn who was right — who could ever be right, after all? — but we get a poignant, sometimes comic sense of the way we each experience the same events, the same decisions, the same mistakes. In Sweeney’s hands, that’s not a recipe for endless conflict, but a road to understanding and — maybe — forgiveness." -- <em>Washington Post</em><br> <br> “This novel considers how much the bonds of friendship and marriage can withstand in a tale that has as much heart as it does intrigue." -- Good Housekeeping<br> <br> “You don't need to be a fan of Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's bestseller&nbsp;<em>The Nest</em>&nbsp;to appreciate the high stakes, sly class commentary<em>,&nbsp;</em>and masterful storytelling of&nbsp;<em>Good Company</em>—but it wouldn't hurt. -- Town &amp; Country<br> <br> “[T]ender and absorbing tale….Filled with humor and insight,&nbsp;<em>Good Company</em>&nbsp;is a warm and incisive novel about loyalty and the bonds of marriage and friendship.” -- BookRiot<br> <br> "This effervescent, tender second novel by the bestselling author of The Nest is an enthralling saga of a marriage in midlife and the secrets that threaten to upend it." -- <em>Oprah Daily</em></p> <p><em>Website: </em><a href="https://gobookmart.com"><em>https://gobookmart.com</em></a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

It is not easy to break these topics down to adults, never mind&nbsp;children.

Blood Heir : By - Ilona Andrews - Novel Review and Podcast
<p>Blood Heir : By - Ilona Andrews</p> <p>Blood Heir was a stunning experience that acquaints us with the Princess of Shinar.</p> <p>Website : <a href="https://gobookmart.com/blood-heir-by-ilona-andrews-is-a-stunning-experience-that-acquaints-us-with-the-princess-of-shinar-novel-review-and-podcast/"><strong>https://gobookmart.com/blood-heir-by-ilona-andrews-is-a-stunning-experience-that-acquaints-us-with-the-princess-of-shinar-novel-review-and-podcast/</strong></a></p> <p>Blood Heir is the first novel by Ilona Andrews in her brand-new Kate Daniels World series. In Blood Heir, despite the fact that I had read some early parts that Andrews so magnificently gave us glimpses, I was completely overwhelmed with this story. I was unable to put the book down until I completed it. Obviously, Ilona Andrews has ascended to the first spot on my list of most loved writers that I need to read..<br> <br> Eight years before, Julie Olson Lennart (Kate and Curran's adopted girl), left Atlanta for California and stay with her super amazing auntie, who might help show her how to find out about herself. The puzzling death of a pastor, takes Julie back to Atlanta, however she is currently exceptionally incredible, mystical, with another face and new name, Aurelia Ryder. Aurelia shows up not uncovering her identity (she is presently the Princess of Shinar), however with the information that she needs to stop an old super powerful god, Moloch, who is resolved to decimate the world and Kate Daniels; and on the off chance that she uncovers her personality or goes to see her mom, Kate and those she loves will die. Aurelia is all alone to discover the killer of the pastor, and mysterious animals that are murdering those touching an extraordinary relic; when she does this the prophecy can be halted. However, would she be able to defeat Moloch?<br> <br> When Aurelia shows up, she is met by a wolf pack, preventing her from entering Atlanta, driven by the Beta of Bouda pack, Ascanio; she figures out how to move beyond them, and not be identified. She took the case of the dead pastor as a Knight. Aurelia meets evil nearly at each progression, and regardless of all the fire and warmth, she figures out how to crush the animals sent to destroy her. In a brief timeframe, Luther and afterward Feldman find who she truly is, and due to the potential of Kate’s death, they honor staying quiet about her character. Yet, Aurelia is then sucker punched by an enormous werewolf, who likewise needs to know who executed the pastor, and needs to work with her. Regardless of her refusal, he and his pack follow everything she might do.<br> <br> What follows is an interesting, awesome, mind-blowing action filled spine chiller beginning to end. Aurelia Ryder is currently a bad ass courageous woman, who figures out how to win her fights despite dangerous circumstances that made them hold our breaths. I adored when she thought often about a young street girl, whom she encouraged, and her anxiety for the boy who was severely beaten. The majority of all, I cherished seeing such countless characters from the Kate Daniels world, particularly Conlan, who is close to his sister, and was enjoyable to see him. Obviously, both actually visit their granddad, and keep on learning a greater amount of the universe of Shinar.<br> <br> Blood Heir was a stunning experience that acquaints us with the Princess of Shinar, who has completely changed over the 8 years she has been gone. Having an incredible mother like Kate, permitted her to push ahead and find her actual self, being prepared by her grandma, who after all, was the Plague Maker, in addition to other things. I adored the new Julie. I anticipate reading the following book in this series, as Blood Heir was thoroughly amazing.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

The Archer : By - Paulo Coelho - Book Review
<p>The Archer : By - Paulo Coelho</p> <p>In <em>The Archer</em> we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life. Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfil, that a life constricted by a fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead, one must take risks, build courage and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer.</p> <p>Website : <a href="https://gobookmart.com/book-review">https://gobookmart.com/book-review</a></p> <p>Follow us :</p> <p>Facebook : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GoBookMart1/"><u>https://www.facebook.com/GoBookMart1/</u></a><br> Twitter : <a href="https://twitter.com/gobookmart2"><u>https://twitter.com/gobookmart2</u></a><br> Instagram : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gobookmart/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/gobookmart/</u></a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (Blood and Ash Book 2) - Novel Review
<p>A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (Blood and Ash Book 2)</p> <p><em><strong>Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?</strong></em><br> <br> <br> <strong>A Betrayal…</strong><br> <br> Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.<br> <br> <strong>A Choice….</strong><br> <br> Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.<br> <br> <strong>A Secret…</strong><br> <br> But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</p> <p>Website : https://gobookmart.com/book-review</p> <p>Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/GoBookMart1/</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure.

But the choice has never been hers.</p> <p>A Duty…</p> <p>The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</p> <p>A Kingdom…</p> <p>Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</p> <p>Website : https://gobookmart.com/book-review</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

<p>A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice, and Freedom : By - Brittany K. Barnett</p> <p>Brittany K. Barnett was only a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever—that of Sharanda Jones, single mother, business owner, and, like Brittany, Black daughter of the rural South. A victim of America’s devastating war on drugs, Sharanda had been torn away from her young daughter and was serving a life sentence without parole—for a first-time drug offense. In Sharanda, Brittany saw haunting echoes of her own life, as&nbsp;the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother.&nbsp;As she studied this case, a system came into focus&nbsp;in which&nbsp;widespread racial injustice forms the core of America’s addiction to incarceration. Moved by Sharanda’s plight, Brittany set to work to gain her freedom.</p> <p>Website : https://gobookmart.com/book-review</p> <p>Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/GoBookMart1/</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message

The Wise Man’s Fear - GoBookMart - Novel Review
<p>Second in the “Kingkiller Chronicles” series, this book is another masterstroke from the celebrated author ‘Patrick Rothfuss’. This is the story of ‘Kvothe’ gradually turning from a talented young man into a legendary hero. He narrates his story, and this book is what he has to say on the second day of the narration. &nbsp;</p> <p>Bad blood between 'Kvothe' and a powerful minister escalates, forcing 'Kvothe' to move to other city, where his adventures begin. He fights his arch-rival, prevents a high-profile murder, gets involved in political manoeuvres of the city and joins a group of mercenaries. While he is crossing the bridges that he gets, there are two elements that loosely bind his adventures. The constant pursuit of the mysterious leader, 'Chandrian' and the search for an answer, for the death of his parents.'</p> <p>Kvothe' continues to be brilliant at everything. Although many times the book deviates from the central elements and wanders into unrelated adventures, which may give the feeling that central Idea is not justified by the author. However those adventures are what make the book so enticing. The story-telling of those adventures is simply remarkable. It is like each adventure is a great work of fiction in itself and the reader gets to read many great short fantasy stories one after the other.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booklicious/message
