The Golden Hour: I've never read Beatriz Williams before, and I love stories about royalty, so this Bahamas-set book about Edward Windsor and Wallis Simpson's social circle sounds like a great way to start with her!
Gods of Jade and Shadow: There are a lot of mythology-inspired fantasy books out there (and I want to read many of them!), but this one uses Mayan mythology as a basis, which is something I haven't seen before.
The Body in Question: Two jurors begin an affair while sequestered only to discover they are on opposite sides of the verdict...this sounds like the kind of thing I'd really enjoy.
Polite Society: Emma is one of my favorite Austen works, so seeing it retold in modern India sounds right up my alley!
Hollow Kingdom: It's the end of world...this time, told from the perspective of a domesticated crow. This seems like the kind of weird I'd like!
We the Survivors: A Malaysian man commits a murder, and after he's served his prison sentence narrates the story of his life to a journalist, whose own life is very different. It does sound heavy but I like heavy every so often.
Red at the Bone: Looking at the political through the personal tends to speak to me, so this book exploring race and class over the course of one family's story sounds fantastic.
The Dutch House: A book about two siblings and their complicated relationships with each other and their childhood home seems like something I could really get into.
Royal Holiday: I don't read much romance, but this story about a mom tagging along on her daughter's trip to work with the British royal family and falling in love with a member of the royal household sounds too cute to resist!
Beautiful on the Outside: I love figure skating, so naturally I can't wait to read Adam Rippon's memoir.

DeleteRoyal Holiday sounds too cute and I urgently need to try some Jasmine Guillory :)
ReplyDeleteI've never read her either!
DeleteSo many great/intriguing reads! I'm shocked that I hadn't heard of Polite Society until your list--Emma is one of my favourite Austen works, too!
