The Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club (2025)
Martha Hall Kelly
"An ode to the human heart and the power of books to connect us - no one writes about the sustaining cords of female friendships quite like Martha Hall Kelly."

The Queens of Crime (2025)
Marie Benedict
"Full of Benedict's richly textured language, complex moral questions and delicious historic detail, The Queens of Crime reads with the urgency of a mystery and the charm of a captivating, character-driven narrative -this is one to savor."

Follow Me to Africa (2025)
Penny Haw
"Which is the more beautifully dangerous adventure: stalking a cheetah across the plains of the Serengeti at night, or, following one's own defiant heart and leaping into a forbidden love that will alter everything one knows about the world? Penny Haw might say both, and her readers will say it's even better when the two are interwoven, as is the case with Follow Me to Africa. In her latest work of high-stakes biographical historical fiction, Haw transports readers from the East African bush to the lecture halls of academic London and back again. Haw has gifted readers with a textured and atmospheric ode to a bold woman who dared to blaze a new path for herself and the countless others who may now look to her story."
