Every now and then we encounter a new book that we're so excited about we want to shout it from the rooftops, so we have this special designation to distinguish it from the rest:

September V.I.B...
by Christina Dalcher
"In Dalcher’s dystopian America, women must adhere to a strict limit of 100 words a day--or submit to government-mandated electroshock. Our heroine Jean McClellan stands by as the leader of a patriarchal Pure Movement rises to power, immersing herself in the cozy den of academia to become a respected neurolinguist. But as working women nationwide are forced into early retirement for the sake of an idealized 1950s husband-and-housewife model, she must watch in horror as her children internalize the dogma, her daughter’s voice dwindling alarmingly day by day. There may come time for a reckoning, however, when the President’s brother faces neurological trouble only McClellan can solve. A thrilling, visceral next read for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Naomi Alderman’s
The Power
, and a call for action over apathy. Buyer beware: You may find yourself quantifying what you say as you navigate Vox’s uncanny terrain." --
Lainie Formby, Adult Frontlist Buyer

On shelves 9/11...
by Rebecca Serle
"What an intriguing, delightful read. Sabrina's journey within the dinner was relatable and interesting; all of the dinner guests tested and pushed her in different ways. The dynamic of the characters was great, and fit well within the context of the whole story. I did appreciate the sort of easy magical realism that wove its way in. It's nothing too heavy, and a nice, comforting read. It's a light read that I think would be good for book clubs." --

On shelves now...
by Sofia Grant
"Sofia Grant's story weaves together the lives of two cousins, Katie and Scarlett, who both receive an inheritance from their grandmother. Scarlett, an East Texan, knew her grandmother well and adored her. Katie, however, had bolted East Texas to attend Columbia and then began her married life in Boston. She never knew her grandmother and found it intriguing that she would leave her an inheritance. As the two young women befriend each other and begin to go through their grandmother's belongings, they piece together details of a horrific tragedy that had impacted their family many years earlier. As the author moves us back and forth between present-day events, the tragedy itself, and the ensuing pain it inflicted on the family, I found myself caught up in the details, marking the time from chapter to chapter. Grant eventually leads us to a very surprising ending. I think you'll love reading the book as much as I did." --
