It’s a small but mighty group of books on my radar this week. The three I don’t have ARCs for all ended up on my library wishlist. Let’s take a look!
Books for Teens/Young Adults
Flirting with Fate – When Ava misses being with her grandmother as she passes away because of a thunderstorm fender bender, she also misses the traditional family blessing. But it turns out, her grandmother gave the blessing – it just landed on the boy at the accident instead of Ava. Now shy and reserved Ava has to befriend the boy in order to set things right.
Queen of the Tiles – Najwa enters her first Scrabble tournament – the same tournament where her best friend died. But while the other competitors focus on trying to take the late Scrabble Queen’s throne, Trina’s Instagram account starts posting again with messages that Trina’s death might not have been as straightforward as everyone thinks. I’ll be reviewing this one soon!
Books for Adults
The Bookseller’s Promise – First in a new Amish Bookstore series. Jake promised his grandfather he would never sell the book. But the English woman, Yvonne, doesn’t plan to take no for an answer. Jake starts to read the book in question with Eva, one of his employees. Eva hopes the time together will help Jake see her as more than his employee. But Eva also senses Yvonne’s interest in Jake. This is a fascinating premise for a book centered on the Amish community, so I am curious about this one. It’s on my library wishlist.
Drop Dead Gorgeous – After an accident, Brittany finds herself in the Limbo Lounge between Heaven and Hell, waiting for her fate to be decided. But when her portal to Heaven opens, another woman, Edie, steals her spot. Brittany then has a second chance at life on Earth, but she has to do it from Edie’s body. What a fascinating premise. I’ll pick this one up just to see how things work out! It’s on my library wishlist, too.
