Here are some of the new books releasing this week!
Books for Kids
Moo, Baa, Fa La La La La! (Board Book) – A Christmas board book – complete with “Deck the halls with cows and holly.”
I’m a Unicorn – A one-horned calf thinks they are a unicorn. This is too adorable not to pick up and read! This is from the author of the absolutely delightful Off-Limits; I’m a huge fan!
The Hunger Heroes: Snack Cabinet Sabotage – Book 2 in the Hunger Heroes series by one of my favorite social media follows, Jarrett Lerner, following the exceptional Missed Meal Mayhem. (I bought the first book for a young family member last year, and it was a HUGE hit! I pre-ordered this one weeks ago to check in out for a possible follow up purchase.) The Hunger Heroes come to the rescue of a babysitter on the verge of “hangry.”
Books for Teens/Young Adults
Your New Playlist – Author and speaker Jon Acuff teamed up with his teen daughters to produce a young person’s edition of his book Soundtracks. Both books talk about mindsets and habitual thoughts that lead to behavior – and how to build more positive and productive mindsets. I have Soundtracks on my TBR, but I’d love to pick this one up, too.
Books for Adults
A Death in Door County (Hardcover) – First in a new Monster Hunter Mystery series. A Wisconsin bookstore owner and cryptozoologist (person who studies creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster) is called upon to help Door County police investigate mysterious deaths near Lake Michigan.
The Make-Up Test (Trade Paperback) – Exes end up in the same PhD program in literature, and competing for the same spot on a research team. Couldn’t hit the pre-order button fast enough on this one!
Murder Out of Character (Trade Paperback) – Book 2 in the Peach Coast Library Mystery series. Marvey comes across a mysterious list of four names – one is that of a person who has already died under mysterious circumstances – including one of her new friends. I have book one on my TBR; I need to catch up!
Star Trek Picard: Second Self (Hardcover) – Raffi receives a message from a Romulan spy in need of help and Elnor accompanies her on the mission. This takes place between the events of season 1 and 2 of Star Trek Picard.
Typecast (Trade Paperback) – Just as Callie is feeling settled in her life she discovers her ex has used their real-life break up as fodder for his new screenplay. Her feelings about it leave her wondering if she has truly moved on or not.
15 New Testament Words of Life (Trade Paperback) – Explore the 15 “most important” words in the New Testament as the author seeks to make them fresh again and remind Christians of our charge from Christ. I met the author of this book, Dr. Nijay Gupta, last year at an event where I work, and I thoroughly enjoyed his presentations.
