Not only because I absolutely adore the author, @michaelclair.bsky.social, now that baseball season is upon us I highly recommend the inspirational WE SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO BASEBALL. The author's love for baseball, and this team's story in particular, is clearly evident in his writing. #BookSky

#ewgc Currently reading DON'T CROSS MO ELLERY by Birdie Horne and really enjoying it. Due out in August from @harpercollins.bsky.social @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social. Not too far in, but I kind of want to hang out with Mo.

#ewgc Is it ever too early to read a Christmas mystery? No! First up for me is A SCROOGE MYSTERY by Andreina Cordani, due out in November from @ssedlib.bsky.social #PegasusCrime. If you love A Christmas Carol, try this and MARLEY by @jonclinch.com

My #LibraryReadingWed @libraryreads.bsky.social #BookSky for yesterday is DON'T CROSS MO ELLERY by Birdie Horne, due out in August from @harpercollins.bsky.social @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social.

Ran out of space in my #LibraryReadingWed post so I couldn't say I'm loving them both. @paultremblay.bsky.social can really bring the horror home. Too believable for comfort, but i don't read horror for comfort. That is why I need A SCROOGE MYSTERY as a chaser.

My #LibraryReadingWed @libraryreads.bsky.social #BookSky for today are DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP by @paultremblay.bsky.social, due in June from @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social @harpercollins.bsky.social and A SCROOGE MYSTERY by @andreinacordani.bsky.social due in Nov from @ssedlib.bsky.social

I don't remember planting bunny seeds in this planter. 🤔

#ewgc I think my next non-fiction will be THE RUSH by Nathaniel Philbrick, due out in October from @prhlibrary.bsky.social @vikingbooks.bsky.social. Can't go wrong with Philbrick.

#ewgc I think this is going to the top of my tbr pile. I ready mysteries for escape and this looks like it will do the trick. A SCROOGE MYSTERY by Andreina Cordani due out in Nov from @ssedlib.bsky.social #PegasusCrime. #2 in the series is coming soon after.

#ewgc I am currently reading A MAP TO MURDER by @michellechouinard.bsky.social due out in Sept from @macmillanlib.bsky.social @minotaurbooks.bsky.social I'm way ahead on this one, but I couldn't resist. I absolutely love this series. (This is #3)

#ewgc STAY BURIED by Jennifer McMahon, due out in Aug from @ssedlib.bsky.social. So creepy and so good. A knackerman ("removes and clears animal carcasses from private farms or public highways..." wiki) makes a great villain.
