Hello, my little page turners, and welcome to another book-filled Tuesday! There are so many good books to check out today, you may cackle with uncontrollable glee. I had a lovely weekend, soaking in our inflatable pool, watching the hummingbirds, and reading upcoming titles, as well as some comics. I am really into comics again lately, especially graphic novels. I will be sure to share the ones I love with you when they come out. 😊
Now, today’s books: I do these first Tuesday megalists because the first Tuesday of each month has so many new releases, and it’s fun to round some of them up. 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 All This Could Be Different, The Book Eaters, Shutter, and more.

This week: I’m currently reading Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World’s Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson and The Honeys by Ryan La Sala.. Outside of books, I have been rewatching Psych (Dulé Hill does not get enough credit as a comedic actor. He makes the best expressions. Oh, how I love him.) And the song stuck in my head is Desperados Under the Eaves by Warren Zevon. (Which is 20 years old now!) And here’s a picture of my cat Zevon (yes, named for the musician) screaming into the void. Or yawning — one of these things is true.
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 ❤️
