It’s time for Tuesday new releases again, friends! Please forgive my brevity today as I am fighting an illness. Hopefully I will be back to 100% next week! In the meantime, I hope you have been able to find some time to relax and read good books. I know it always seems like I’m saying things like that, but it’s because sometimes you need to hear it, and I am happy to say it! I want you to read books and be happy. ❤️
Now, about today’s books: At the very top of my list of books to buy are She is Haunted: Stories by Paige Clark, We Measure the Earth with Our Bodies by Tsering Yangzom Lama, and Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay. And for this week’s episode of All the Books! Tirzah and I discussed The Lesbiana’s Guide To Catholic School, This Time Tomorrow, The Cherry Robbers, and more. And now, it’s time for everyone’s favorite game show: AHHHHHH MY TBR! Here are today’s contestants.
The Stardust Thief (The Sandsea Trilogy Book 1) by Chelsea Abdullah
Get your TBRs ready—here’s another entry into the fabulous adult fantasy trilogy genre! This one is about a the Midnight Merchant, who hunts and sells illegal magic, with the help of her jinn bodyguard. But she gets caught up in a blackmail scheme when the king ropes her into finding an ancient lamp. Adventure and peril follow! (CW violence, torture, and murder, child endangerment, animal death, loss of a loved one.)
Backlist bump: The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy) by S. A. Chakraborty
With Prejudice by Robin Peguero
A great courtroom drama is a rare thing to find, but this one hits all the marks! As a homicide prosecutor himself, Peguero knows what he’s talking about. With Prejudice takes readers into the fascinating politics and undeniable prejudices of the courtroom. It’s really remarkable how all the pieces come together to tell the story of the murder of a young woman and the man accused of her crime. (There are a ton of content warnings for this one, including racism, sexism, and homophobia and related language, violence, sexual assault, gore, and murder.)
Backlist bump: Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
Don’t forget you can get three free audiobooks at Audiobooks.com with a free trial!

This week: I’m currently reading Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison and The Charmed List by Julie Abe. Sadly, I was quite sick all vacation, so I couldn’t do much but stare at basketball games and sleep. And we did start watching Criminal UK, which is quite good. The song stuck in my head is Rock Star by Hole. And as promised, here is a cat picture: Farrokh and Zevon are practicing poses for their album cover.
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 ❤️
