This month’s list holds what will likely be some unexpected treasures. Victoria Helen Stone’s At the Quiet Edge falls into the Domestic Suspense category, following mother Lily Brown and her son as they grapple with hidden secrets they probably have no business investigating.
The Half-Life of Ruby Fielding by author Lydia Kang is a Historical Fiction that takes place during World War II. A world filled with paranoia finds the two protagonists discovering a woman hidden under their stairs.
This month’s True Crime novel is The Vanishing Triangle by Claire McGowan. It plunges the reader into 1990 Ireland, one that is much darker than the sunny, grass covered hillsides that one would expect from the area.
Jeff Wheeler’s The Druid is an Epic Fantasy that hurls the reader into the shoes of Eilean who seeks the power of an ancient magical tome.

American Seoul is Helena Rho’s Memoir. We walk along her experiences of the past to uncover an inspiring story of self-discovery.
The Children’s Picture Book for this month is I Am Able to Shine written by Korey Watari and illustrated by Mike Wu. It is a small story about a girl who builds her confidence with each turn of the page.
So you’re probably wondering by now what our pick for this month will be. Well it is one that has yet to be mentioned. Such a Beautiful Thing to Behold by Umar Turaki is this month’s Book Club Fiction. Reading the description has us excited about diving deeper into the small town, quarantined from the rest of the world. From what we can tell, this book might just diverge in all manner of directions, while promising to come back together before we flip the very last page. With a title that is indicative of finding the silver lining amidst the turmoil of this story’s illness, needless to say we are very excited to dive into this one!
