Think you know the person you married? Think again…
Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts–paper, cotton, pottery, tin–and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.
Hooray, it’s the first Tuesday of the month—that means LOTS of new books. In the past, I have done a giant megalist. But as fun as it is to share so many titles, I have decided to streamline it a little bit. Now, below, you’ll find titles (loosely) broken up into several categories, to make it easier for your browsing convenience. I hope you have fun with it! And as with each first Tuesday newsletter, I am putting a ❤️ next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved.
And speaking of today’s great books, for this week’s episode of All the Books! Danika and I discussed some of the wonderful books that we’ve read, such as Matrix, We Are Not Broken, The Girls Are Never Gone, and more.
And now, it’s time for everyone’s favorite gameshow: AHHHHHH MY TBR! Here are today’s contestants:

This week: I’m currently reading The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas and I’ve set my Stephen King reread aside for now to start the Agent Pendergrast series, because I read Bloodless and it was so bananapants, I must read more! Outside of books, I’m enjoying the latest episodes of The Great Pottery Throw Down, and the song stuck in my head is The Funeral by Band of Horses. And as promised, here is a cat picture! I love how Farrokh looks so absolutely done with everything. Also, I ❤️ his enormous mitts!
Thank you, as always, for joining me each week as I rave about books! I am wishing the best for all of you in whatever situation you find yourself in now. And yay, books! – XO, Liberty ❤️
