September New Releases

  Okay, so I've changed my setup for these new releases and now I will just be talking about the top five books I am interested in for the month. HOWEVER, this will not include sequels for series mainly because I'm already hyped (as are some of you) and this way I can talk about maybe some books that are being super hyped. 



An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
Genre:YA, Contemporary
Release Date: September 25

 Okay, so I know that this book is pretty hyped already, but I'm still really excited about this one and I always love supporting another Youtuber. But this book is about April May who stumbles across a giant  sculpture while going home from work at 3am. April and her friend, Andy, make a video with it and by the next day, their video has gone viral. News spread and there are apparently dozens of these sculptures all over the world, but April's video is the first one to have documented it, thus forcing her into the spotlight. 



Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco
Genre: YA, Historical Fiction, Mystery
Release Date: September 18

 Now this is the third and final book in the series and I'm really excited. I loved the first book and while I haven't read the second book yet, I'm such a sucker for magic that I'll still read this one even if the second book sucks. But the series is about Audrey Rose Wadsworth who is pretty much a BAMF in a time where women are not known (or welcomed) or being one. She has dreams of becoming a mortician, but of course in this time, that's highly looked down upon, even for men. So in the first book, Audrey starts investigating the Jack the Ripper killing while he's still rampant in White Chapel. In this book, Audrey and her partner -in-crime Thomas Cresswell are aboard the RMS Etruria en route to New York as privileged young women begin to go missing and a series of brutal murders occur.

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 #12 Peasenhall Murder

     Rose Harsent, a servant girl at the Providence home, was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant on May 31, 1902. Even though she wasn't married, she was six months pregnant. While it was initially reviewed as a suicide, local clergyman William Gardiner was eventually arrested for Rose's murder. Allegations soon began to rise that Gardiner was the father of Harsent's unborn child and that they had an affair the year prior. Since Gardiner was somewhat prominent in town, he was the foreman at the local seed drill works, and he had a wife with six children, it would make sense why he wouldn't want the affair to be made public, and it didn't help that his home was within sight of the Providence house.    Gardiner was tried twice for the murder, but no verdict was ever reached. During the first trial, the jury was split 11 to 1, in favor of guilty, and the second trial was split 11 to 1, in favor of not guilty, and then the prosecution issued a writ of noel
