The Stolen Queen (2025)
Fiona Davis
"I thoroughly adored Fiona Davis's The Stolen Queen, which represents the best in historical fiction. It's the engrossing and heartfelt story of two compelling female characters, an expert Egyptologist at the Met Museum and a young intern to fashion diva Diana Vreeland, who together uncover a mystery that takes them back to the days of an amazing female Pharoah, but also delves deep into family ties and human identity. Davis's dual timeline switches expertly back-and-forth between two storylines until they converge beautifully, producing a brilliantly plotted and riveting novel that I couldn't put down."

The Bachelorette Party (2024)
Sandra Block
"I am a forever-fan of the Zoe Goldman series and will read anything Block writes. You should too."

Shelterwood (2024)
Lisa Wingate
"A seamlessly crafted tale of tragedy, resilience, and triumph, this powerful novel needs to go to the top of your list. Lisa Wingate once again gives poignant voice to the 'lost' children of American history."
