September New Releases




  Holy Toledo am I excited for these new releases (sorry I couldn't think of anything September related)


The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
Genre: Sci-Fi, Dystopia, Feminism
Release Date: September 10

Now, not a lot has been released about this sequel, but if you can't tell by the cover it's a sequel for the acclaimed book The Handmaid's Tale. For the maybe 10 people that haven't read it, this is set in a dystopian world where women, handmaids, are essentially used as incubators. Now The Testaments follows Offred 15 years after the ending of The Handmaid's Tale.


















The Secret Wife of Aaron Burr by Susan Holloway Scott
Genre: Historical Fiction
Release Date: September 24

Following the massive Broadway show Hamilton, he all know Burr as the SOB that shot Hamilton, but before that, there were claims that Burr was a man who was unafraid of claiming whatever he believed should be his. Mary Emmons was sold into slavery as a child in India and brought to a war-torn America. She quickly gained the trust of her new mistress, Theodosia Prevost, Burr's future wife. When Theodosia falls ill of a fatal disease, Burr and Emmons are drawn together into a private world of power and passion.









The Magnolia Sword by Sherry Thomas
Genre: YA, Fantasy, Retellings
Release Date:

THERE'S FINALLY A MULAN RETELLING! Okay, maybe there's one out there that I haven't heard of yet. Essentially this seems like a pretty straightforward retelling of the Mulan movie: a messenger comes and demands that every family sends one boy to join the army and since her father's paralyzed and her brother's just a child she VOLUNTEERS AS TRIBUTE.















Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Genre: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, LGBT
Release Date: September 10th

 Okay, so a lot of people have said it's best not to know what this book is about, but more or less, the book is about Gideon who is a reanimated corpse in servitude to the Ninth Necromancer, and she is ready to escape the bullshit.








Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco
Genre: YA, Historical Fiction, Mystery
Release Date: September 10


Okay, let me confess, but I've only read the first book in the series, but I'm silently squealing as I glanced at the synopsis. In the first book, Audrey and Thomas were up against Jack the Ripper, in the second it's a potential Dracula, in the third it's a serial killer on a ship, and finally, in the last book, they are in Chicago attending the World Fair when people are going missing. Eep!

Lock Every Door Review

Image
 Okay, so I figured that everyone that wants to reads this book has already read it, but GUYS, this book was so good! As much as I want to talk to people about all the spoilery things that happened, I know that I need to make this review a push for people that are on the fence or people that insist they aren't going to read this book, to read it. So, the book is about a woman named Jules who, at the beginning of the book, was let go from her job and broke up with her cheating boyfriend in the same day or at least relatively close together, and finds a job listing that she can't turn down. Apartment sitting for 3 months accruing her a total of 12 thousand dollars at the prestigious Bartholomew, a glamorous and secretive apartment complex in Manhattan. While things seem a bit off, such as the rules that she's not allowed to have visitors or that she's not allowed to sleep away from the property, but Jules chalks it to the other tenants wanting their privacy, si

Microphones and Murders Review

    It's time for another ARC review. I did receive this book via Edelweiss, so shout out to them, but this is a cozy mystery centered around two sisters creating a true-crime podcast. There is representation for those that are hard of hearing since there is a character who is now completely deaf (I don't know how well this is done because I do not fit into this demographic and to my knowledge, this isn't own voices for it). But the book is about Liv Olson who used to work as a sound engineer in the #1 podcast series in the country, but now has given up that job to start her own podcast with her younger stepsister, Camry, called Missing or Murdered and the first season is surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Clark, a young woman who went missing after a Youtube video of her went viral that wasn't the most flattering. So Liv and Camry decide to head to Santa Maria to investigate.    Oh my gosh, is this so lighthearted and fun. It's very much a stereotypical c

Murder Monday #7 The Parachute Murder

    Okay, if there was ever a way to end the month of love it's with talking about the Parachute Murder, granted I never heard of it before I started researching for the blog, but oh boy are you guys in for a doozy.    So, everything started on November 18, 2006, when Els Van Doren, Els Clottemans, and Marcel Somers went skydiving together and it ended up with Van Doren's primary and reserve parachute failing to deploy, causing her to fall to her death from the height of over 2 miles. The police established that the cords of the parachute had been cut and Van Doren's video camera captured the dive (I have no idea if the video is out there, but I didn't really want to watch someone plummet to their death.) As the police continued the investigation and learned of a love triangle between the three of them, in which Clottemans was in love with Sommers and Sommers was in love with Van Doren AND Van Doren and Clottemans had a sexual relationship with Sommers. So Clotte
