The Dean: This one I've actually pre-ordered, which I virtually never do because it's cheaper to wait for the paperback but I looooooooove John Dingell (who used to be my Congressman when I lived in Ann Arbor!) so much that I'm shelling out hardcover money.
Seduction: This one, from the lady who does the You Must Remember This podcast (which is amazing, if you haven't listened yet), is something I am genuinely super hyped to read but will wait for paper for and then devour.
The Book of Essie: This sounds so fascinating! It's about the daughter in a super religious reality TV family, who gets underage pregnant and has to figure out how to deal with it. Which basically checks all of my reading boxes and I want this so bad.
The Winter of the Witch: I have talked multiple times about how much I loved the first two books in the Winternight trilogy and this is the last one and my expectations are sky-high even though I know that is an excellent way to get burned hard.
There There: This book, about the intersecting lives of Native Americans headed for a pow wow, has gotten tons of hype and I always appreciate the chance to read a great book by an own voices author.
The Captives: As a former psych major, I'm a sucker for stories about psychologists/therapists, and the hook in this one (a disgraced psychologist working in a prison who, unethically, begins treatment for his high school crush when she appears in his prison) has definitely intrigued me.
The Completionist: I love a good speculative fiction, especially when there's a dystopian angle, and I am thrilled to have an advance review copy of this one to read!
If You Leave Me: Wartime love triangle and choosing the wrong guy and reverberating choices sounds like the kind of drama I enjoy, and somewhere (I honestly can't remember where), I read a short review that indicated this was fantastic. I am lucky here, too, to have a review copy to read!
The Bonanza King: This is a local interest choice, about the Comstock Lode (which was located just outside of Reno), and the man who ended up with control over it, John Mackey. I got approved for a review copy of this as well, so looking forward to get into it!
The Silence of the Girls: As much as I did not love reading the ancient Homer epic poems in college, I did love The Song of Achilles so I am also hopeful for this retelling that focuses on the women in the army camps.
