Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - A Sea of Unspoken Things — by Adrienne Young — Publishing January 7, 2025 Fans of Adrienne Young will find all the things she does best in this book — a strong female lead character, James, returns to her hometown following the untimely death of her twin. While the incident was declared an accident, James and their mutual friend Micah are less sure. The pair begin to dig up old truths, digging up their failed romance in the process. Young is a master at creating atmospheric novels, and this was no exception. This was an entertaining and enjoyable read for me — four stars overall! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/95d2f1b6-e1d2-4b2d-bdf3-fd7e7df49ec2/211025449.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - The Heart of Winter — by Jonathan Evison — Publishing January 7, 2025 If you want to read the perfect love story, give this one a try — not because it will give you the sugary sweet high of a Hallmark love, but because it perfectly illustrates the realistic rollercoaster of a deep-lasting commitment. This book cuts deep — bring the Kleenex — but you'll be left cheering for the characters’ relationship as if it were your own. Abe and Ruth have been together since college. Now, after 70 years of marriage together, Ruth falls ill. With everything he loves at risk, Abe must learn how to care for Ruth and protect the life they have built in ways he never has before. Five stars — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/4ac7788b-d9ac-4f19-a29b-5bba7c9f521f/The+Stolen+Queen+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - The Stolen Queen — by Fiona Davis — Publishing January 7, 2025 This dual timeline novel shows two sides of main character Charlotte Cross, first in 1936 when she is an archaeology student in Egypt and later in 1978, as curator of Egyptian art at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. When a disturbingly familiar artifact comes across her path, then goes missing, Charlotte gets drawn back to Egypt, a place she swore she would never return to. Charlotte has a deeply tragic past that she’s kept hidden in her new life, but everything she worked hard to escape is rushing to the surface. While this wasn’t quite a five-star read for me, it was nonetheless compelling, immersive, and well worth the read! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/54d20fb1-50b2-4a36-9505-259f6d608059/Death+of+the+Author+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - Death of the Author — by Nnedi Okorafor — Publishing January 14, 2025 Nnedi Okorafor has earned herself a solid reputation with books that weave together mind-bending speculative sci-fi and a heavy dose of cultural tradition, so I’m excited to pick up this novel — though this gorgeous cover alone would be enough to draw me in! Following the loss of her job and rejection of her novel, the main character, Zelu, decides to write a novel like no other written before, a book about androids and artificial intelligence in a world following the extinction of humanity. The fallout from writing this unique book is something the author — and the world — couldn’t possibly predict. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/d0c97f4e-2c6b-4f10-981e-d4dc3260168f/The+Queens+of+Crime+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - The Queens of Crime — by Marie Benedict — Publishing February 11, 2025 Marie Benedict delivers again, and this may just be my favorite novel of hers to date! Intrigue, female empowerment, and justice mix with remarkable character development to create her latest historical fiction, The Queens of Crime. The novel is centered around author Dorothy L. Sayers, who bands together with four other famous female crime writers to solve a real-life mystery. When a woman is found strangled in a local park, the police are quick to dismiss the case. The five detectives decide they’ll get to the bottom of the murder and build up their credibility in a man’s world in the process. Another five-star read for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/8c9bd2b7-55f4-4c74-a159-1eecb26725ca/The+Quiet+Librarian+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - The Quiet Librarian — by Allen Eskens — Publishing February 18, 2025 After the murder of her best friend, Hana is swept into a search for answers, leading her back to the dark secrets they shared during the Bosnian War. Hana was once Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of Bosnia — where Serbian soldiers slaughtered her entire family. This thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend — the deadly Night Mora. Now, it seems someone is out for revenge. Allen Eskens is the award-winning author of The Life We Bury. Here, he’s crafted another winning novel, “about a woman transformed by war, family, vengeance, and love.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/03c155c4-ffda-4fe4-b5a2-a1fed85089b6/You+Killed+Me+First+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - You Killed Me First — by John Marks — Publishing February 18, 2025 John Marrs has graced us with many impactful books, including The Passengers and The One, and he’s back this year with a standalone novel, You Killed Me First. The novel focuses on the dynamics between three women — Margot, Anna, and Liv — and the flimsy friendship they nurture with each other under false pretenses. Each brings her own secrets to the relationship, which fester and build tension, culminating in the moment where the book begins: bound and gagged, a woman awakes, trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. How did she get here, and how will she get out? Early reviews for this book are looking strong! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/73529ba2-af52-4e6e-bfcb-a93c23338cc2/214537816.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - Kills Well With Others — by Deanna Rayburn — Publishing March 11, 2025 Raybourn’s Killers of a Certain Age surprised me in all the best ways — delivering a gritty book of murder, espionage, and female empowerment — so I’m eagerly in line to read book two in this series, Kills Well With Others. After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are called back into action. Together, the foursome embark on a wild ride across the globe on the double mission of rooting out their organization’s mole and hunting down a gangster and assassin. But their nemesis is unlike any they’ve faced before. It will take all their experience and a whole lot of luck to get out of this mission alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9e8a73ea-ea15-407d-86ed-9e5d7e1cd9ec/A+Map+to+Paradise+-+hottest+books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - A Map to Paradise — by Susan Meissner — Publishing March 18, 2025 Those who like slow-paced, character-driven stories with a light side of intrigue, A Map to Paradise is for you. Acclaimed author Susan Meissner is back, this time with a historical fiction novel centered around the communist Red Scare in Hollywood during the 1950s. Melanie is a rising star in Hollywood when she suddenly finds herself unfairly accused of being a communist sympathizer. Tucked away from the public eye, Melanie's only company is her hired domestic helper Eva, and her agoraphoric neighbor Elwood. When Melanie and Eva find Elwood's sister June digging in the garden before dawn, they become concerned for Elwood's wellbeing. Is Elwood sinking deeper into agoraphobia, or did something nefarious happen? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/16632647-82e5-4aaf-99b1-6f9e1bd53e87/The+Story+She+Left+Behind+-+Best+Books+of+2025.jpg Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - The Story She Left Behind — by Patti Calahan Henry — Publishing March 18, 2025 Callahan Henry’s The Secret Book of Flora Lea was nothing short of magical, so I’m excited to see that early reviews of The Story She Left Behind suggest another knock-out hit on its way. Inspired by a true literary mystery, this promises to be a “sweeping story of a legendary book, a lost mother, and a daughter’s search for them both.” The book alternates between 1927, when a renowned author disappears, and 1952, when the daughter she left behind is now a mother herself. When approached by a man who promises to unlock the secret of her mother’s disappearance, she sets everything aside — and at risk — to discover the truth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9952cde2-9843-4dc0-be11-d5926e06818f/Best+New+Books+of+2025+-+Sunrise+on+the+Reaping.png Books for Adults - Most Anticipated Novels of Early 2025 - Sunrise on the Reaping — by Suzanne Collins — Publishing March 18, 2025 I’m sure I don’t need to detail the massive success of The Hunger Games books — a popularity that has more than a few of us excited to see what Collins has in store with her latest prequel to the series. In this latest installment, we’ll be treated to a deep dive into one of the more complex characters, Haymitch Abernathy. This is the story of Haymitch’s own fight for his life within the Hunger Games. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol to compete. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena. Early reviews of this one are looking very strong! https://www.thenerdygnome.com/readingrecs/bestof2024 monthly 0.5 2025-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/e5e34d8b-76e0-4c90-978c-3415abba1609/Best+Books+of+2024+-+full+list.png Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/03848f99-0a94-4f59-9d42-939e4516eb91/The+Frozen+River+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE HISTORICAL FICTION The Frozen River — by Arielle Lawhon Martha holds an important role in her community, as a long-standing midwife with a perfect track record of mothers surviving the births she oversees. When Martha's family becomes part of a scandal involving a dead body found frozen in the river, she finds herself working to defend those she cares for most. Exquisitely written and immersive from beginning to end — I loved every minute spent in midwife Martha Ballard's 18th-century life. While this is an emotionally charged book with some very ugly moments (check the trigger warnings if you have any sensitivities), it was an eye-opening reminder of what life was like, especially feminine life, for many of our forbears. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/0d79d586-2c25-497c-addb-56ca5fd1a3dd/The+Last+Blue+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Last Blue — by Isla Morley The Last Blue successfully blends meaningful, well-developed characters with a shocking slice of history, all delivered with captivating and engaging writing. A photographer travels to a remote Appalachian town in the 1930s and makes an astonishing discovery: a family with blue skin. Initially reluctant to have anything to do with the photographer, the family begins to warm to him after a surprising turn of events. What will be the long-lasting implications of opening their inner circle? Based on a true story, "The Last Blue" runs deep with themes of judgment, racism, loyalty, and love. This was a beautiful novel that I'll likely be thinking of for a long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/02e98d69-a47c-43b2-a8d0-02607af4105a/The+Women+-+one+of+the+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Women — by Kristin Hannah The Women is a no-holds-barred, emotional look at the role of women in the Vietnam War, as well as the fallout when their contributions were scorned or minimized. Frankie, a California woman barely in her 20s, is seeking to win her parents' approval. Following her older brother's footsteps, Frankie decides to enter the Vietnam War as a nurse. What follows is a harrowing and very real look at the impacts and fallout of war — both physically and mentally. I was immediately drawn into Frankie's world and connected easily with the characters. While I’d love to say this was a home-run for me, there were some plot decisions I didn't agree with, which put a bow on it maybe a little too neatly. That said, I enjoyed every second of Frankie’s story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1f03774b-fd3e-491b-9922-1076e6ad1119/Go+As+A+River+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Go as a River — by Shelley Read Beautiful, poignant, and immersive, Go as a River is both heavy and uplifting, sometimes simultaneously. This is the coming of age story for Victoria, who has always lived on her family’s peach farm in rural Colorado. At just 17, she is largely running the household following her mother’s death. When she comes across a young stranger on her way to town one day, she unwittingly kicks off a series of events that will span across decades. Shelley Read is a master of lyrical writing, and I wanted to savor some lines over and over. Her writing is doubly impressive when you consider that this book — winner of multiple awards — was her debut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1922fb1e-e80e-4b30-89f0-cd219d11773d/The+Lion+Women+of+Tehran+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Lion Women of Tehran — by Marjan Kamali A beautiful tribute to friendship, the deep impacts of war, and the immense costs incurred in the fight for human rights. The Lion Women of Tehran felt like a deeply personal read, thanks to Marjan Kamali's wonderful character development. Young Ellie is just seven when she meets and befriends Homa, a girl who Ellie’s mother sees as below them in social class. When events cause Ellie’s family to move, the two girls’ lives and experiences begin to diverge. This novel evokes powerful messages of human imperfection, resilience, and forgiveness — all culminating in a touching and ultimately heartbreaking ending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/80ee75e2-8b56-4b6a-bcfd-25f5103810df/Eleanore+of+Avignon+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Eleanore of Avignon — by Elizabeth DeLozier Eleanore is a midwife in 1324, just as the Black Plague is beginning to emerge in France. Though she yearns to become a physician, this profession is reserved only for men during her time. After a doctor witnesses her skill in action, he ignores tradition and public criticism by taking her on as his apprentice — a role that becomes more and more important as the illness takes a firm grip on their city. Eleanore of Avignon delivers a slice of history often overlooked in fiction. In this debut novel, Elizabeth DeLoizer delivers an impressive blend of careful research, convincing characters, and engaging tension throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/65fbf4f2-7bc2-4943-b2e4-f9e08879839a/Mercury+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Mercury — by Amy Jo Burns When young Marley arrives in Mercury, one of the first things she sees is a family of roofers. It isn’t long before she is swept into the family, and finding her place within it. At its heart, Mercury is a portrait of a family that is learning to lean on each other and learning to love openly. Family expectations can sometimes become a crippling weight, however, and this seems to be especially true for the women in this novel. Amy Jo Burns touches on themes of mental health — including codependency, depression, dementia, and identity struggles — as well as patriarchy and motherhood. Mick, who in many ways was the most flawed character, is the one we come to know the least, and that's the only complaint I have for this exceptional novel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/7f6e33db-9daa-4831-9a9d-e9b416f90e7b/All+the+Colors+of+the+Dark+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - FAVORITE MYSTERY/THRILLER OF THE YEAR • ALL-AROUND FAVORITE OF THE YEAR All the Colors of the Dark — by Chris Whitaker "Patch" is a one-eyed thirteen-year-old when girls begin to go missing in his town. When he rescues the daughter of a wealthy family, the latest target in the crime spree, he inadvertently kicks off a tidal wave that ripples for a lifetime. This book is billed as both a crime novel and a love story. It encompasses romantic love, yes, but also the gruff love of a neighbor, the fearful love of a parent, the loyal love of friendship, and so many more shades in between. I highly recommend this book for fans of Demon Copperhead and Ordinary Grace, and other books with rich character development and slow-burn intrigue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/09ff41b9-e25f-4a67-bc53-4d0528cdb359/The+Return+of+Ellie+Black+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Return of Ellie Black — by Emiko Jean The Return of Ellie Black is a gritty thriller and police procedural, following the return of a missing teen years after her disappearance. Emiko Jean has done a commendable job of creating well-rounded characters that are intensely flawed and yet simultaneously likable — perhaps because each has their faults firmly rooted in the best of intentions and a deep loyalty to others. There is no slow burn here; we're dropped straight into the action immediately when Detective Calhoun gets the call that a missing person from one of her cold cases has surfaced. From there, the tension doesn't let up, navigating through alternating POVs and flashbacks. The novel touches on themes of hope, loyalty, misogyny, found family, kidnapping, abuse, and trauma recovery. Fair warning — this is a dark and gritty book that some sensitive souls will find difficult to read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/bb29d543-0b14-412a-9bd2-e03627999092/The+Last+Verse+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Last Verse — by Caroline Frost Twyla is a nineteen-year-old aspiring musician, living with her strict mother and stepfather. Buckling under the weight of her mother's religious expectations, Twyla decides to head to Nashville with little but the guitar on her back. There, Twyla is swept up into a crime and circumstances wholly outside of her nature. Working to process the trauma, she writes a song and sings it to what she thinks is an empty bar. Weeks later, she hears another woman performing it on the radio — and it's an instant hit. The book reverberates across three distinctly different women, each seeking to redeem themselves in a world stacked against them — Twyla, the woman who stole her song, and the female detective who circles around them. Their circumstances are fundamentally at odds with each other, but there is a deeply universal female experience in each of their stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/22da4cf0-d0ef-4eea-bfe9-a8cabd5c334c/Lenny+Marks+Gets+Away+With+Murder+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder — by Kerryn Mayne I went into this expecting a light, fluffy cozy mystery — instead, I came away rewarded with a deep character study layered with trauma and satisfying personal growth. Lenny Marks is a teacher in her late 30s, firmly rooted in routines, personal rules for life, and quiet existence enriched by games of Scrabble with her imaginary flatmate. Her orderly life is shaken up when she receives a letter in the mail from the parole board. Slowly, her past is revealed, and you begin to understand how much of Lenny's unique character traits are shaped by her past trauma. Lenny is a character that's easy to root for, and I enjoyed seeing her find friendship in those around her. A solid debut for Kerryn Mayne. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/82e87b74-6e12-40d9-a904-a27c10237c7b/Pony+Confidential+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Pony Confidential — by Christina Lynch Oh, how this one surprised me. Pony is, well, a pony, once beloved by his owner Penny before being given away. He’s on a quest to track her down, determined to take his revenge for the lifetime of children’s birthday parties that he’s cursed with following her departure. Now an adult, Penny finds herself falsely accused of murder, with a past quickly coming back to haunt her. Are their paths fated to cross once again? I honestly wasn't sure I liked Pony Confidential to begin with, but I quickly came to fall for Pony, his sassy attitude, and his deep devotion to Penny. This is a cozy mystery, but it has a deliciously sharp and quirky edge. Recommended for fans of Remarkably Bright Creatures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/c7deb713-adb4-4e80-930d-3723ffb05db2/The+Wedding+People+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE CONTEMPORARY The Wedding People — by Alison Espach Despite its dark underbelly, The Wedding People is laugh-out-loud funny, with characters I loved and was reluctant to part ways with at the end. Phoebe, a recently divorced woman in midlife, is deeply depressed and raising the white flag. After her cat passes away, eliminating her only remaining companion in life, Phoebe decides to check herself into a swanky hotel, where she has every intention of ending her life. There, she discovers that every other guest is there for a wedding. She makes the mistake of admitting to the bride that she plans to kill herself that evening, and from that moment on, she cannot escape the gravitational pull of the bride and her slightly dysfunctional family. I absolutely adored Phoebe's dry wit and humor. With nothing left to lose but the life she’s already given up on, she has virtually no verbal filter. This brutal honesty is not only hilarious at times, it's also cathartic to those she is around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/3e1ff8e6-3402-44c3-8b16-caff06808456/How+to+Age+Disgracefully+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - How to Age Disgracefully — by Clare Pooley How to Age Disgracefully is not Clare Pooley’s first time tackling the theme of lonely souls, thrown together as strangers. Here, she returns to this strong point with a charming cast of characters, both young and old, navigating ageism and their search for belonging. When a senior citizen social club discovers that their building is soon to be sold by the city council, they decide to team up with the daycare next door to try and save the aging building. Can they pull together and set aside their differences to achieve their mutual goal? I enjoyed every minute and appreciated the concept that everyone has their own faults to declare. This is a cozy contemporary novel that reads breezily but still delivers some satisfying depth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9900abbc-acdf-4f52-9647-a4873d62ac06/The+Love+Elixir+of+Augusta+Stern.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE ROMANCE The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern — by Lynda Cohen Loigman Augusta Stern has long worked at the pharmacy, but now that they've realized she's nearly 80, the administration has gently nudged her out the door. Newly retired, she moves into a senior living community, where she promptly runs into Irvin — who broke her heart many, many years before. Sixty years later, Irving seems to want to work his way back into Augusta's heart, but she's not sure she can ever forgive him. As the truth of their shared history slowly unfolds, Augusta finds herself turning to recreating the love potion her great aunt Esther concocted many years prior. As it did once before, the elixir can both clarify feelings and lead to unexpected twists. The plot delivers satisfying themes of independence, feminism, and having the confidence to stand outside social norms. Augusta chose her professional life over a domestic one at a time when this was well outside of the expectations of women. This is a warm, cozy hug in book form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/3a454bf3-da72-4226-a178-8d4f9ca408e4/Into+the+Drowning+Deep+-+best+books+to+read.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE SCI-FI NOVEL Into the Drowning Deep — by Mira Grant I was delightfully surprised by this book, which sucked me in immediately and never let go. Into the Drowning Deep is a tense read, with a pervasive and growing sense of unease as you watch the characters move toward what feels to be an inevitable conclusion. Several years ago, a ship set out to create a "mockumentary" along the Mariana Trench to investigate the existence of mermaids — none of the crew returned. Now, a second expedition will set sail to the same site. Some of them are scientists, others are part of the television company that's returned to redeem itself, and one is the sister of a crew member from the first expedition, there to reconcile with her loss. Upon arriving at the site of the last ship's trouble, the crew quickly fall into trouble. Mira Grant's writing is impressive, as this was a well-crafted book throughout. It's worth noting: I had not read the prequel to this book before diving into it (nor was I even aware there was one) and Into the Drowning Deep stood on its own just fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/2b5dc2fe-5e59-467c-9941-dca5417638c9/The+Humans+-+best+books+to+read.png Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Humans — by Matt Haig In The Humans, an extraterrestrial has taken over a human's body, here to wipe out any record of the man's mathematical discovery that will irrevocably change the universe. With little preparation and many misunderstandings about the true nature of humans, the alien must learn quickly to prevent detection. The Humans is the alien's report back to the alien nation, an account of both human behavior and the alien's time on Earth. Haig has put much of his bewilderment over the human experience into The Humans and translated it into an extraterrestrial's own existential crisis. The result is a heartwarming, touching appreciation of all the best characteristics of humankind, contrasted against the most puzzling parts of our collective behavior. For anyone who has ever felt frustrated with humankind or their place in it, this is an encouraging book to pick up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/74613407-756e-4aa0-9ef4-723937d43890/The+Black+Witch+-+best+books+to+read.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE FANTASY NOVEL The Black Witch — by Laurie Forest The Black Witch takes us directly into a world previously divided by war. Elloren is a Gardnerian attending university to learn apothecary skills. She arrives there as a legend, as the granddaughter of the infamous Black Witch. Prophesy states that a powerful witch from her heritage will soon rise, but Elloren has been tested repeatedly and declared powerless. As she explores her coursework and new relationships at school, Elloren soon discovers she must question everything she’s been told. This is a young adult novel filled with first love, first kisses, and first steps into an independent self. While the novel is firmly rooted in a fantasy world, it contains realistic themes of race relations and social conflict. Bigotry and racism are frequently portrayed, though not endorsed, used as plot devices to help Forest’s flawed characters learn to shift their perspectives. This series is recommended for fans of The Fourth Wing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/a387672c-b6a8-4ff6-8985-ecebe278ab6f/A+Sorceress+Comes+to+Call+-+best+books+to+read.png Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - A Sorceress Comes to Call — by T. Kingfisher A Sorceress Comes to Call quickly became my favorite T. Kingfisher work to date. Immediately immersive, the novel tells the story of Cordelia, a young woman who lives an isolated existence with her odd and restrictive mother. Cordelia’s mother has the unique ability to place Cordelia under her complete control, unable to move or speak for herself. She only feels free from her mother’s influence when she is riding Falada, the white horse that her mother has allowed Cordelia to befriend. When a mysterious death occurs in their villiage, her mother whisks them away in the middle of the night to move in with a wealthy man. Will this provide Cordelia with the chance to finally escape her mother’s control? As a reimagining of a Brothers’ Grimm story, Goose Girl, A Sorceress Comes to Call has the same eerie tone and dangers-hiding-in-plain-sight that’s befitting of the original. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/fa7966bb-9df4-4b5d-a5f7-7d6719bdb00e/Good+Inside+-+one+of+the+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - PERSONAL FAVORITE NONFICTION Good Inside — by Dr. Becky Kennedy This book came highly recommended to me, and I pass along the same high praise to you. Dr. Becky Kennedy brings her experience as a parenting expert into a practical guide for raising emotionally resilient kids. Even if you don't have children, Good Inside has a wealth of great content to reflect on when it comes to the child you once were and how the way you were raised may still have ripple effects on you now. And if you do have children, you’ll find it a reaffirming and encouraging source of wisdom to apply to virtually any behavioral issue you may encounter in your home. I listened to this on audiobook and immediately bought a hard copy for my husband to read and for me to reflect on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/4e573a0e-f340-4fb9-a530-37eb0ae1ac8c/The+Many+Lives+of+Mama+Love+-+best+books+of+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Many Lives of Mama Love — by Lara Love Hardin The Many Lives of Mama Love is Lara Love Hardin’s memoir of “lying, stealing, writing and healing.” Lara and her husband became addicted to heroine, and turned to credit card theft as a way to support their habit. Eventually, she is caught and convicted of 32 felonies. Lara works diligently to serve her time in jail, regain custody of her son, and become a successful ghostwriter for some of the most promiment public figures of our time. This memoir offers an eye-opening, chilling, and yet heartwarming tale of crime and redemption. It is a reminder not only of how addiction can strike anyone — and that its knife cuts very deep — but also that even those who have made grave mistakes can reinvent themselves. Hardin is honest both about her transgressions and how her own privilege allowed her to rebound from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/df676d49-2ea9-482e-87a9-2efd7bda35e2/Estrogen+Matters+-+best+nonfiction+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Estrogen Matters — by Arum Bluming and Carol Tavris This should be required reading for every woman in their 40s or 50s! Estrogen Matters is an eye-opening read on the science — and politics — behind hormone therapy and how bias has prevented generations of women from seeking the medical care they need. Spoiler alert: it's not risky for the vast majority of women and actually is beneficial beyond menopausal symptoms. I had little idea that hormone therapy could be so potentially impactful on preventative medicine, and it's frustrating that this book was published back in 2018 and still took until now to come across my radar. You don't need to be considering hormone therapy to read this book, but absolutely consider it a must-read if you want a deeper understanding of the female body and how it has been impacted by modern medicine. Nearly everything I was previously taught on this subject was wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/85fe5f3c-1312-4f2e-a93c-5e5da6f3f9e8/The+Book+of+Joy+-+best+books+to+read+in+2024.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - The Book of Joy — by Desmond Tutu, Dalai Lama, and Douglas Abrams The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World offers deep wisdom from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama — two remarkable spiritual leaders who, despite representing different religions, are also dear friends. Their conversations throughout the book are insightful and lighthearted, balancing thought-provoking discussions with a genuine sense of admiration and respect. The book is structured around what the pair has termed the Eight Pillars of Joy: perspective, humility, humor, acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, and generosity. These chapters provide practical, meaningful reflections that make the book not just enjoyable, but also a life-enriching experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/07a039de-5202-4f94-822e-f1a975d8508f/205977739.jpg Books for Adults - My Top 24 Books Read in 2024 - Impossible Creatures — by Katherine Rundell Given all the hype, Impossible Creatures took a little longer for me to get into than I expected, but it delivered in the end! This is a thrilling, imaginative adventure that transports readers into a beautifully crafted world of magic and mythical creatures. When Christopher goes to stay with his grandfather in Scotland, he’s warned to stay away from a mysterious hill — so, naturally, curiosity gets the best of him. What he discovers is beyond his wildest dreams: his family is the guardian of the Archipelago, a secret realm filled with unicorns, dragons, and other legendary beings. The magic that sustains this world is fading, and it’s up to Christopher and Mal, a brave girl from the Archipelago, to set things right. With an engaging mix of adventure, mystery, and danger, Impossible Creatures keeps readers hooked from start to finish. The characters are relatable and easy to root for, making this an ideal read for young fans of epic fantasy. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/readingrecs/aftertheflood monthly 0.5 2025-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/42b6c163-6856-4516-87f6-bd3427d6d7f2/After+the+Flood+-+book+club.png Books for Adults - “After the Flood” Book Club & Ocean-Themed Snacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/e58728ac-c8ca-4ae5-ad24-9369c42ed782/After+the+Flood+-+ocean+themed+book+club+menu.jpg Books for Adults - “After the Flood” Book Club & Ocean-Themed Snacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/626ea8f5-9903-4def-a524-b34e035ee990/Ocean+themed+book+club+snack+spread.jpg Books for Adults - “After the Flood” Book Club & Ocean-Themed Snacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/91c59b9d-86e8-4d38-99cb-7c396fe369ed/IMG_6773.jpg Books for Adults - “After the Flood” Book Club & Ocean-Themed Snacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/445a9703-0956-42bb-81bc-d1314288b240/Sand+dollar+cookies+for+ocean+themed+book+club+food.jpg Books for Adults - “After the Flood” Book Club & Ocean-Themed Snacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/readingrecs/mostanticipated2024 monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/af74758f-9a07-43bb-a0d3-ac29c3104091/8.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/7c033e8f-3bb7-4142-95b1-f3d1f8a94706/Colors+of+the+Dark+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - All the Colors of the Dark — by Chris Whitaker — Publishing May 21, 2024 Billed as a “soaring thriller and epic love story,” All the Colors of the Dark may quickly rise to the top of the list of my most-anticipated books to read this year. In a small rural town, girls are disappearing, including the daughter of a wealthy family. It’s a local boy who saves this girl, kicking off both a love story and a serial killer thriller. I love a little romance when it carries some emotional bite, and this book promises to deliver. Whitaker’s previous work, We Begin at the End, absolutely took me to pieces before putting me back together again, and all the advance reviews suggest this book is just as well crafted. Cannot wait! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/94c3ea0b-f932-4092-852c-95414c01be20/The+Guncle+Abroad+-+best+books+in+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Guncle Abroad — by Steven Rowley — Publishing May 21, 2024 I fell in love with Patrick in The Guncle, finding myself surprised by how much deeper the book was than the cover suggested. And how great that it’s being made into a movie — I will definitely be buying that ticket! We all know the book is always better, though, which is what has me so excited to dive into the sequel, The Guncle Abroad. In this book, Patrick will be traveling to his brother’s wedding in Italy, where he will navigate through a wide range of what promises to be hilarious family dynamics. Here’s hoping this book is just as touching as the first! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/deffbdfe-d4b9-4ba5-836a-ad44772ec4c7/The+Rom-Commers+-+best+books+of+2024.jpeg Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Rom-Commers — by Katherine Center — Publishing June 11, 2024 I had the opportunity to read an advance copy of The Rom-Commers and found it to be another book in the win column from Katherine Center. I sank into the world of Emma and Charlie easily and had so much fun rooting for their success! Emma is a romance writer who has hoped to make it big, but never seemed to catch her big break while caring for her medically fragile father. Charlie is a screenwriter known for his high-octane action movies. When Charlie writes a romcom that is sure to bomb at the box office, Emma is brought in to help him clean up the script. This book wasn’t without flaws for me, but it was an entertaining page turner throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/30b97ec2-5628-4fed-8b4e-475feaebccb7/The+Nature+of+Disappearing+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Nature of Disappearing — by Kimi Cunningham Grant — Publishing June 18, 2024 Kimi Cunningham Grant’s These Silent Woods may just be my favorite book of all time (though you all know that’s like asking me to pick a favorite child), so I am hugely excited to get my hands on The Nature of Disappearing. This book is described as “a captivating novel of suspense, when a wilderness guide must team up with the man who ruined her life years ago when the friend who introduced them goes missing.” I’m already getting all the usual Cunningham Grant atmospheric vibes and I am 100% here for it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/8ec141e9-1ec5-4353-8343-081f7b4914e8/A+Novel+Love+Story+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - A Novel Love Story — by Ashley Poston — Publishing June 25, 2024 When Eileen Merriweather is on her way to an annual book club retreat, her car breaks down and leaves her stranded — in a town she grows to realize is the setting of her favorite fictional romance book series. And she quickly starts to suspect that she will need to play a role in moving this town’s story forward. I absolutely loved Poston’s Dead Romantics, and had fun with The Seven-Year Slip, so I’m hopeful that Poston will deliver another entertaining read for us in 2024. Fingers crossed that she continues her unique blend of grittier romance and magical realism in A Novel Love Story, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/2e47858a-c232-4805-8207-7bb667d006ba/Breaking+the+Dark+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Breaking the Dark — by Lisa Jewell — Publishing July 4, 2024 Let me start with transparency — Lisa Jewell’s books are hit or miss for me, so I can’t say for sure that this will be a hit. That said, it has an intriguing premise that has me putting my name on the holds list, because I can’t wait to see how Jewell pulls this one off! Breaking the Dark kicks off the “Marvel Crime series” which is exactly what it sounds like — a series revolving around Jessica Jones, a superheroine character from Marvel comic books. The plot sounds like a mash-up of scifi, comic action, and of course Jewell’s trademark thriller writing. A note to audiobook listeners, it looks like this one is launching as an Audible exclusive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/0796fc55-4c7a-442a-941c-823cbe44ed9a/The+Life+Impossible+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Life Impossible — by Matt Haig — Publishing August 29, 2024 Every single book I’ve read by Matt Haig has felt like a deeply satisfying hug tucked between two covers, so I’m excited for another life-affirming read with The Life Impossible. Retiree Grace Winters is bequeathed an island home when a long-lost friend dies. After traveling to the island, Grace seeks answers about her friend’s life and death — as well as Grace’s own past. It’s too soon to see much on early reviews for this one, but I’ll be keeping my eyes open and picking up a copy either way! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/0ee2b061-b2f5-4765-a3ac-7caf3b0b9391/Somwhere+Beyond+the+Sea+-+best+books.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Somewhere Beyond the Sea — by TJ Klune — Publishing September 10, 2024 Speaking of books that hug you back, TJ Klune is a fabulous author known for tales of self-acceptance and stories featuring lost characters who find their place in the world. With heartwarming themes like that, it’s no wonder that I’m joining a large crowd of readers who are excited for the next chapter in the life of Arthur, Linus, and other popular characters from the popular hit The House in the Cerulean Sea. “Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/899d065f-846f-484c-bfb7-394695c978a7/Eddie+Winston+is+Looking+for+Love+-+best+books+of+2024.jpeg Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Eddie Winston is Looking for Love — by Marianne Cronin — Publishing September 10, 2024 All the yesssss for another book from Marianne Cronin! If you have not yet read The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, please do add that to your list (it’s especially great as an audiobook, where the accents are so charming) — but also keep your eyes out for her second novel, Eddie Winston is Looking for Love. At 90 years old, Eddie has loved many but has never been kissed. A hopeless romantic, he spends his days saving tokens of love from the items he sorts through at the local charity thrift shop. There, he meets 24-year-old Bella, who teams up with Eddie to help him find true love — and his first kiss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/62df6fc6-60fd-4e7b-a48a-6a09011a6f7d/Heavenly+Tyrant-best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Heavenly Tyrant — by Xiran Jay Zhao — Publishing December 24, 2024 This one’s on my list for my 13-year-old ravenous reader, who absolutely loved reading Iron Widow this year and instantly asked if there was a sequel. He reads a lot of fantasy, so I know that anything that stands out to him is a knockout in the genre. This book is said to pick up right where Iron Widow left off, with Zetian in a seat of power in Huaxia — but she soon discovers that she must also share her power with a dangerous man. As the two circle around each other, they must execute “a dance of truth and lies and perform their roles to perfection.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/75048b14-7387-40e9-a20c-38d031780e14/The+Women+-+best+books+of+2024.jpeg Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Women — by Kristin Hannah — Published February 6, 2024 An emotional look at the contributions women made to the Vietnam War, specifically in the medical field. The main character, Frankie, signs up to become a nurse on the front lines of the war, fresh from recruitment and with too little experience to be prepared for what comes next. Some readers claim this book reads like a soap opera because there is a lot of turbulence and romance built in, but I still found it deeply engaging — and a 4.68-star average from 275K ratings on Goodreads doesn’t lie! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/caf79977-9e1b-405c-bf0a-4a213257ad2a/The+Fury+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Fury — by Alex Michaelides — Published January 16, 2024 I know it isn't a universal experience with this book but, for me, "The Fury" has put Alex Michaelides back on my must-read list. I highly recommend listening to this novel on audiobook, because Alex Jennings absolutely knocks it out of the park with his narration. It's interesting to see in the early buzz on this book that "The Fury" tends to polarize people into two camps: if you loved "The Silent Patient," you're likely to enjoy this less. But if you, like me, found "The Silent Patient" more middle of the road, you're likely to enjoy "The Fury" far more. Ultimately, give it a try for yourself — I'd love to hear what you think! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/f6f39afb-d524-4ebe-b907-7a4d446a5ae3/The+Last+Verse+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Last Verse — by Caroline Frost — Published March 5, 2024 I absolutely adored Caroline Frost’s debut novel, Shadows of Pecan Hollow, so I knew I wanted to get my hands on this next book as soon as it was released. When it came up in my library holds, though, I worried that I wouldn't be able to connect to it because I’m not inherently interested in country music. That worry was proven unnecessary because I loved it and quickly fell in love with main character Twyla, a young musician coming of age while making a life for herself in Nashville on her own — see my full review here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/12dc78d4-a763-4419-b74f-29adcfdc99fb/The+Last+Murder+at+the+End+of+the+World+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - The Last Murder at the End of the World — by Stuart Turton — Published March 28, 2024 Granted, The Seven ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was not universally loved and was a bit confusing at times, it also was a wholly unique novel that stretched and blew my mind. Because of that, I’m excited to dive into Stuart Turton’s The Last Murder at the End of the World. This one is billed as “an inventive, high-concept murder mystery: an ingenious puzzle, an extraordinary backdrop, and an audacious solution.” While most of the world is in ruin, life is idyllic on one island. Villagers live in peace with three scientists — until one of the scientists is murdered. When the safety net around the island is compromised, the islanders must solve the murder quickly to restore it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/8b597cee-9bb9-40be-8b81-50a315963841/Just+for+the+Summer+-+best+books+of+2024.png Books for Adults - Can’t-Miss Books in 2024! - Just for the Summer — by Abby Jiminez — Published April 2, 2024 Another fun and wild ride! Fans of Abby Jimenez will be thrilled with "Just for the Summer," a punchy and heart-warming romance that delivers enough of an emotional edge to feel real. While this wasn't my favorite Jiminez book, I found it to be a compulsive page-turner and immediately connected to the characters. "Just for the Summer" gains points for being more than a Hallmark romance — trigger warnings for those who may be dealing with childhood PTSD — but I came away feeling this darker side pushed the book away from traditional Jiminez writing and more into the territory of Colleen Hoover. Just when you think the drama can't get messier, it does, and not always for the better. Still, it's a cute concept and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to romance fans. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/readingrecs/thelastverse monthly 0.5 2024-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/a92ee99a-38fb-4f23-a3a6-15e5666b0a31/1.png Books for Adults - The Last Verse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/0047bf72-f121-4179-b403-fdb386fdf31f/2.png Books for Adults - The Last Verse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/83cc3cca-16b5-4f9d-b1c5-30c811543b31/3.png Books for Adults - The Last Verse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/readingrecs/foundfamily monthly 0.5 2025-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/06319dde-4369-4424-83a8-aecfd798a35a/Best-Found-Family-Fiction-Books.jpg Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/128f779c-f0e8-4252-a078-78d99ab55104/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.48.10+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting What would it be like to be looking for your footing as a 50-something, feeling generationally out of place in your job? Or as a young woman grappling with the start of a new relationship? As a middle-aged professional suddenly fired from the only job he’s known? Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting brings together an assortment of seemingly dissimilar train commuters who come from very different backgrounds but all share this common thread: their mooring has come loose, and beneath their polite and cool British exteriors, each is quite desperately in need of help to find a new path forward. It’s not hard to root for these characters, nor to fall for their charm within just a few pages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/79726bd1-733b-4eb1-ad05-3b2454a38ff6/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.48.37+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot I knew from the synopsis that this book would make me cry, and honestly, that's not my favorite thing. I generally read to escape life's emotional rollercoaster so I don't typically sign myself up for more drama. And I was right, it did make me cry, but it was oh. so. worth. it. Seventeen-year-old Lenni is living in the terminal ward of the hospital. Mostly there on her own and marching to her own beat, she bumps into Margot, an 83-year-old staying in the next ward, during an art class. When they realize that 17 + 83 = 100, they decide to paint their stories of one hundred years lived. What a beautiful tale of friendship, aging, bravery, and death. I loved the fiery nature of both Lenni and Margot! A perfect match — especially poignant on audiobook. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/6bc126b9-e13d-46f9-acdf-7c213e10f0ee/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.56.36+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - The Guncle If you judged a book by its cover, you would think this was going to be a breezy beach read with some quirky gay humor thrown in. And you would be wrong. The Guncle has humorous moments, for sure, but fundamentally, it is a book about emotions and grief. And, oh, how it explores all of that so, so well. Patrick is an award-winning actor who has been hiding from the world since his partner Joe died. All of this changes when his niece and nephew come to stay with him for three months, immediately following the death of their mother. As their gay uncle (or "guncle"), it seems at first that his loner Hollywood lifestyle is not a match for raising kids. But he proves himself adept at navigating them through the emotions of grief, and in providing a safe harbor for them, and himself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/38709fe3-0f12-4fc5-ac4c-e3f6635a7f25/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.53.01+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Sourdough This novel is delightfully bizzare! Sloan treats us to a wild ride filled with a mystical sourdough starter, a competitive culinary world, the rise of the robots, and the quest for a wholly sustaining nutritional slop. Lois is a software engineer working for a robotics company (shout out to representation for women in STEM!). While she enjoys her work, it leaves little time for human contact, which mostly consists of interactions with her favorite restaurant workers. When they move away and leave her with their sourdough starter, her whole world begins to tip sideways, in the best possible, though surprising, ways. I found Sourdough a super-fun book, and a great short/fast book to add to your reading count for the year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/bea05078-b837-4848-9427-1ce940fcf1a6/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.57.36+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Where’d You Go, Bernadette Told primarily through the eyes of Bree, a 15-year-old whose mother suddenly goes missing, Where’d You Go, Bernadette is ultimately a tale about accepting yourself and finding those who will accept you, too. Having earned perfect grades at her private school, Bree chooses a family trip to Antarctica as her reward. But just on the cusp of their departure, Bree’s mother Bernadette goes missing after she bungles the school fundraiser she’s in charge with. Seeking answers, Bree pieces together the events by digging deep into Bernadette’s emails, invoices, and school memos — gaining a deep understanding of her mother in the process. Quirky, humorous, and lightly intriguing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/36a89ec0-841b-4575-990b-3d127860adfe/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.51.09+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - The Golem and the Jinni Just all-around beautiful, this one earned a permanent spot on my shelves. While part fairy tale, The Golem and the Jinni is about so much more than mythical creatures. Chava is a golem, made of clay, created to be the wife of a rabbi who dies shortly after bringing her to life. Without her master to guide her, Chava is left unmoored in a new country. She soon meets Ahmad, a jinni trapped in an old flask, who is released but still not entirely free. The two strike up a wary friendship that grows into much more. I loved its messages about the complex nature of independence, both what you gain from it and what you lose. Is it worth sacrificing some independence for the sake of love? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1cfd65e5-a709-4f0d-9fe4-a826ac5aa709/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.46.01+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - A Man Called Ove Fredrik Backman has quickly become one of my favorite authors, thanks to the strong and endearing voice he delivers through his characters, and his absolute gift for understanding and empathizing with the nuances of human behavior. He can make you feel compassion for just about any character, it seems. This is absolutely true of the popular A Man Called Ove, which chronicles the story of a lonely older man who wants to be left alone to himself and his structured routines. When a young family moves into the neighborhood and accidentally knock over his mailbox, both his loneliness and orderly life are at risk of crumbling. Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal parts — it’s worth the read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/79ba3398-b7e8-4624-9fca-4685642ef694/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.49.02+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Other Birds This novel charmed me, with its simple, mystical narrative and insightful wisdom. Other Birds is a coming-of-age story that deals with themes of grief, identity, friendship, and forgiveness. At almost 19, Zoey has just inherited her mother’s condo on Mallow Island, a remote community off the coast of South Carolina. Zoey arrives eager to make friends and immediately sets out to meet her neighbors. There she comes across the condo manager who once knew her mother, estranged sisters with a murky past, a henna artist who rarely settles in one place for long, and a young chef also struggling with grief. Also featured is Pigeon, the invisible bird that Zoey has befriended. This magical realism novel is like a warm cup of cocoa, sweet and redeeming, with characters you want to root for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/c49a6553-79eb-4e40-98f8-22c1f0488071/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.49.39+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - The Humans In The Humans, an unnamed extraterrestrial has taken over a human's body, here to wipe out any record of the man's mathematical discovery that will irrevocably change the entire universe. With little preparation about (and many misunderstandings on) the true nature of humans, the alien must learn quickly to prevent detection. This novel presents a heartwarming, touching appreciation of all the best characteristics of humankind, contrasted with the most puzzling parts of our behavior. Perhaps my favorite part of the book was Haig's Advice for a Human list — chef’s kiss! A few of items on that list caused little appreciative prickles of tears at the backs of my eyes. For anyone who has ever felt frustrated with humankind or their place in it, this one is for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9c3e9725-da23-4aac-bb5a-4e1af806040b/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.50.18+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine Eleanor Oliphant is socially awkard, a blunt communicator with rigid routines and a chronic avoider of social interactions. Her life is predictable, if lonely. This all changes when she meets Raymond, a colleague who is in many ways her exact opposite. When they rescue Sammy, an older man who falls outside their office, the three spark a friendship that comes cracks open a door to escaping their mutual isolation and loneliness. There is an overwhelming spirit of kindness in Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, often thanks to Raymond’s big heart, and while Eleanor has a difficult history that is slowly revealed, the book also finds its own unique happy ending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1befeff5-52e0-4638-8443-4793a0e14141/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.46.35+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - How the Penguins Saved Veronica Veronica is a reserved Scottish woman who locates Patrick, a long-lost grandson she never knew about. It's safe to say it's not love at first sight when the two meet. Deciding there's no one left for her to leave her millions to, Veronica finds herself drawn to a documentary about scientists in Antarctica working to protect penguins. She decides to travel to Antarctica in person to see if she may want to name them in her will. There, she meets research scientist Terry. In the warmth of Terry's kind nature, Veronica slowly begins to reveal her history and the life struggles that led to her hardened shell. This is a charming book, with beautiful prose and a heartwarming end. I enjoyed the environmental undertones and setting as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/98b23d93-5c6e-4679-bca6-e0605b9c669e/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.52.28+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Nothing to See Here I devoured this book, which was a light, quick read that is utterly unique. Who would think you could make the topic of kids who spontaneously catch on fire not only believable, but also a reflection on the many shades of human imperfections? It made me laugh out loud more than once at the absurdity. Former boarding school roommates Lillian and Madison are reunited when Madison begs for Lillian’s help in caring for her two stepkids as their nanny. With nothing to lose in a life that’s underwhelming and underperforming, Lillian agrees — even when Madison warns her that the children will burst into flames when they get agitated. While Lillian originally seems wholly unsuited for caring for kids, she soon proves herself as everything the pair needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1d8ada96-ef60-4078-b805-f3aa19010c44/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.52.00+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - The Sign for Home This one was stickered as a romance by our library and even the cover suggests it'll be a light hearted, fluffy beach read — yet this novel is so. much. more. Yes, main character Arlo is seeking a long lost love, but there are bigger messages to unpack in this novel and I truly think it's a must-read for all. Arlo Dilly is DeafBlind and seeking a new interpreter to help him as he begins classes at a local college. Cyril is thrilled to accept the position. Due to the heavy workload, he shares this job with Molly, Arlo's longtime interpreter and fellow Jehovah's Witness. As Cyril begins to work more closely with Arlo, he starts to question whether Arlo's life with Molly and his uncle has been beneficial. This is a powerful, endearing story that goes deeper than you’d expect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/85644f35-3c9a-4439-a8e3-a5b446e67349/Screen+Shot+2024-03-26+at+1.54.02+PM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - Under the Whispering Door Charming and magical, Under the Whispering Door is the grown-up equivalent of a cup of hot milk: comforting, nourishing, and ultimately wholesome. This novel follows the after-death journey of Wallace, an insufferable grump with little kindness for others. Following an untimely fatal heart attack, Wallace is taken by his reaper Mei to meet Hugo, who is tasked with ferrying him to the afterlife. Stubborn and cantankerous, Wallace is in no mood to accept this fate, and takes his time lingering at Hugo's tea shop, learning the ways of the ferryman. While there, Wallace learns a number of life lessons and, with Kune's trademark style, manages to fall in love with Hugo along the way. This book takes you through an impressive emotional range, along with reminders of the best parts of humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/b16435ad-d884-446a-aa11-441f8583391a/Screen+Shot+2024-03-28+at+8.01.38+AM.png Books for Adults - Best “Found-Family” Books - We Begin at the End A sometimes heartbreaking look at broken lives and long-lasting ripples. Thirteen-year-old Duchess is a self-proclaimed outlaw, living by her own rules. With a drug-addicted mother, Duchess is left to care for her five-year-old brother with whatever it takes. Walk, who grew up with Duchess’ mother, is the local chief of police and unofficial protector of the children. He grapples with guilt over having sent his best friend to prison decades before. Now, on the cusp of his friend’s release, both Walk and Duchess must face a life about to change. I recommend sticking to the print version as I started out on audio and got lost if I wasn't listening closely. I switched to print and felt the book so much more deeply.

The water damage, the ripped pages, the toddler’s experimental sticker phase — at some point, even the most determined book-repair optimist has to whisper “thank you for your service” and just let it go. But instead of tossing it in the recycling bin (or sobbing quietly as you donate an outgrown favorite), use it to create a seasonal keepsake or personalized Christmas gift! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1762215447818-NTM268X7N8FHYL4PGB0V/Book+pages+Christmas+ornament+using+novel.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - At a Glance: DIY Book Page Christmas Ornaments Time: About 45 minutes, longer with little helpers Skill level: Easy / kid-friendly Supplies: Old picture book or chapter book, Mod Podge, cardboard or wooden ornament, sponge brush or paintbrush Best for: Repurposing damaged books or turning outgrown favorites into meaningful keepsake ornaments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/e68385d0-85b6-4ba4-bad0-5a7ffedd38ac/DIY+Book+Page+Ornament+Supplies.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Supplies for DIY Book Page Christmas Ornaments You don’t need a fancy craft room for this one, just: An old picture book or chapter book Mod Podge glue (either glossy or matte) Wooden or cardboard craft ornaments (any shape you like) Sponge brush or medium paintbrush That’s it! No glitter explosions, no special tools you’ll never use again. Just an easy Christmas craft for book lovers that uses many of the items you already have on hand. This project uses the decoupage method, sometimes referred to as paper mache or papier maché, which is completely beginner-friendly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1b3b4a80-053c-4538-ae61-904edffd4f73/Torn+paper+for+book+page+ornament+craft.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Step-by-Step: How to Make Book Page Ornaments Tear and Prep Your Book Pages First, tear out pages of your picture book or chapter book. Yes, I know. Deep breaths. This is where we remind ourselves that the book is either already damaged or no longer being read — and this way, it gets to live on in a new form. Tear the pages into long strips, then tear those strips into smaller pieces, less than 1" wide. Don’t worry about being precise; the slightly uneven edges actually look better for this DIY book page ornament craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/ee10acde-9e98-4ef7-9fd0-cda465199d52/Creating+book+page+ornaments+with+Mod+Podge.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Add Mod Podge to the Ornament Base Next, grab your cardboard or wooden craft ornament. Using your sponge brush or paintbrush, brush on a layer of Mod Podge over the surface. If your ornament is on the larger side, it helps to work in sections — cover part of it with glue, add paper, and then repeat in a new area — so the Mod Podge doesn’t dry out before you get to it. If it does dry out, don’t panic. Mod Podge is very forgiving. Just brush on a fresh layer right over the top and keep going. This is not a perfectionist’s project. “Good enough” will look fantastic! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/017567ae-4666-4dcb-a7df-41728d3b769c/Seasonal+family+craft+DIY+book+page+ornament.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Layer on the Book Page Pieces Press your paper pieces onto the glued area of the ornament, gently smoothing them down with your fingers as you go. Overlap the edges slightly so the ornament is fully covered and none of the original surface peeks through. As you work, you might notice some edges sticking up — just dab a tiny bit of Mod Podge underneath or on top and press them down. Once your ornament is fully covered, grab the little “reserve pile” of your favorite bits: the character name, the picture, the sentence that makes you smile. Layer those on top in prominent positions, like the center of the ornament or near the bottom edge so they’re easy to see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/c175c786-b1ad-48fb-924a-44265270e2dd/Completed+DIY+book+themed+ornament+while+drying.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Let the Ornament Dry (Quick Drying Tips) When you’re happy with the coverage and placement of your favorite pieces, set the ornament aside to dry. If you’re doing this as a quick solo project, you can just leave it for a bit while you clean up or make some hot cocoa. If you’re doing this with kids and the words “let it dry” are testing their patience, you can use a blow dryer on low to medium heat to speed things up. Keep it moving so the paper doesn’t overheat or bubble — just a gentle warm breeze to help things along. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/b7cd1397-325c-4aba-89fa-6efcbaa266e3/IMG_2054.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Seal Your Ornament with a Final Coat When the first layer is dry to the touch, brush on a final coat of Mod Podge over the entire front surface of the ornament. This works as both glue and sealer, giving the ornament a clear, slightly glossy finish (or high-gloss finish, depending on the Mod Podge style you use) that helps it hold up for years of use. Let it dry fully again. Once it’s done, you’ll have a sturdy, finished book page ornament made from a story your family has loved! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/6ba2d0d1-12d4-44f6-8b8a-49961bdf094b/Supplies+for+DIY+picture+book+ornaments.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Example: My On The Train Book Page Ornament As you can see from the photos, I made my sample ornament using one of my son’s beloved favorites from long ago, On The Train, which had been damaged from a water spill. I pulled out the bits with trains, track details, and a few sentences that remind me of all the nights we spent reading it “just one more time,” and made sure they ended up front and center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/ac6a85b7-f6fa-4ef3-89c9-5a500b342e5a/Christmas+ornament+for+book+lovers.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Variations: Monotone Ornaments from Thrifted Novels I also made a second ornament using strips from a thrift-store novel — just plain text, no pictures. That one turned into a really lovely monotone ornament that feels classic and neutral. So if you’re not ready to cut into a favorite picture book (totally valid), a beat-up paperback from the thrift store makes a great starter version. This works especially well if you want: A more subtle, text-only ornament A neutral look that goes with any tree decor A Christmas ornament idea using old books that doesn’t involve sentimental kid titles A fun and easy book club craft project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/cf5a34cc-fa04-4423-9e1e-8f1cc2a2083a/Family+Christmas+craft+ornaments.jpg Read with Kids - DIY Christmas Ornaments from Old Books - Why Book Page Ornaments Make Meaningful Family Keepsakes On a practical level, this Christmas craft is approachable and low-stress: Only a few supplies Easy, kid-friendly steps A simple craft that helps fill the hours with kids home during winter break A finished DIY Christmas ornament that is meaningful But the real magic is in what it represents. You’re taking a book that has already done its job beautifully — a book that’s been read hard, hauled to restaurants, slept on, possibly drooled on — and giving it a second life as part of your holiday traditions. It creates something your kids will see every year on the tree and say, “Oh!

But two minutes later, they’re upside down, dangling off the armrest, and trying to get the dog to smell their socks. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever wished for more attentive kids during reading time, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a reading secret that I wish I had discovered sooner: you can get kids more interested in reading, help improve their comprehension, and expand their vocabulary just by using a few simple active reading strategies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/92ba64f5-42b1-44f8-bc62-ad3dbb689039/Active+Reading+tips.png Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading - What is Active Reading? Active reading isn’t just about reading the words on a page in a seamless beginning-to-end flow — it’s about deeply engaging with the material, with frequent breaks to explore the meaning behind the words and pictures. Active reading is a technique where you engage your child before, during, and after you read, stopping the flow of the story to ask questions, point out details, encourage children to predict what’s next, and connect the book to your child’s world. It’s less sit-and-listen and more "let’s experience this together." Active reading keeps kids from zoning out and: Builds vocabulary Boosts reading comprehension Improves focus and memory Sparks curiosity and creative thinking Engages critical thinking skills Encourages reluctant readers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/b1d14624-3861-4937-a450-01719e9daf09/Mom+reading+with+kids.png Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading - Active Reading Strategies Active reading is a process best employed from beginning to end — meaning you’ll want to start asking kids questions before you even crack open the cover! Engage their critical thinking skills by reading the title out loud then looking at the cover art, then having kids describe what type of book they think it will be and how they think the plot will go. Then use these strategies to keep the conversation flowing: Ask open-ended questions: What do you think will happen next? Why do you think they made that choice? Make connections: Have you ever felt like that? Does this remind you of something we’ve seen/done? Explore illustrations: What’s happening in the background? What do you notice about their expressions? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/83b58f52-03e0-4232-af0f-f9be2c5fc5dd/You+Choose+book+-+ideal+for+active+reading+with+kids.jpeg Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading - Conversation Starters If you aren’t familiar with this strategy, it can be helpful to start with books that are naturally designed to help encourage conversation as you read, such as: You Choose by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt There’s very little to read here, just gorgeously detailed illustrations that encourage your child to build their own story! Every page is bursting with choices — from where you want to live to what pet you’d have. Active reading tip: Ask your child to explain why they chose a certain option. You'll be amazed at what that simple question reveals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/c32dfe46-c5a4-443d-8e77-0c9e787f0b91/Gobble+Gobble+Moo+Tractor+Book.jpg Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading Gobble Gobble Moo Tractor Book by Jez Alborough If you have a wiggly toddler or preschooler who is reluctant to sit still for reading, this book is a read-aloud dream. Each page invites kids to copy silly animal sounds as they echo through a tractor. It’s noisy, it’s goofy, and it’s perfect for reluctant readers. Active reading tip: Let them predict which animal is next based on the sounds — or better yet, make up a new sound and guess what animal it would match! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/2bba0a23-a4e5-455a-9bac-76fbc609bd4c/Wheels+and+Springs+and+Moving+Things+book+for+kids.jpg Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading - Wheels and Springs and Moving Things by Sally Rippin This book is going to be an instant hit with any child who loves vehicles and “things that go.” Based on the popular “School of Monsters” series, the heavily illustrated book is a little reminiscent of Richard Scarry’s art style, and gives plenty of visual depth to start as many conversations as you’d like. Each page includes counting and look-and-find games to help keep kids more deeply engaged. Active reading tip: The book explores various jobs related to vehicles — ask your child which is their favorite, which one they’ve seen in action, and which one they’d most like to do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/8538b887-ad4e-490a-bf33-2cad18bfbc18/Caring+for+Pets+flashlight+book+for+kids.jpeg Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading Caring for Pets (Shine-a-Light: My World) by Carron Brown and Vanya Laing This interactive book quite literally shines a light on hidden images — when you shine a flashlight behind the page, a secret image will appear! This is a large book series, so there are topics to resonate with just about any child’s passion, but if they haven’t yet focused in on one subject, this is a great one to try. Caring for Pets teaches responsibility and empathy while sparking curiosity, and the use of a flashlight to reveal more detail will naturally engage reluctant readers. Active reading tip: Encourage your child to guess what’s behind each page before shining the light — perfect for improving their inferencing skills and critical thinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/d9960526-83f8-41de-beea-3540051a2d7d/Izzy+the+Inventor+and+the+Unexpected+Unicorn.jpeg Read with Kids - Boost Brain Power with Active Reading Izzy the Inventor and the Unexpected Unicorn by Zanna Davidson Active reading strategies aren’t just for picture books and young kids! It’s also important to continue this style of reading even as your child grows into chapter books and independent reading. In Izzy the Inventor and the Unexpected Unicorn, Izzy is a relatable heroine with an inventor’s curious spark. She’s firmly grounded in science and not in fluffy fantasies, so imagine her surprise when she finds herself in a hilarious adventure involving a very unexpected unicorn. This chapter book series blends fiction with STEM inspiration. Active reading tip: Ask, "What would YOU invent?" to stretch imagination, spark STEM interest, and build confidence. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/kidsbooks/lifeskills monthly 0.5 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9b76ba45-7bc2-4c5d-9f94-88ceb04aa9bc/Life+Skills-+blog+preview+image.png Read with Kids - Top Life Skills Books for Kids - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/5a87c9d8-eca0-4c0d-881e-2d7d50c4aed8/Managing+Your+Money+and+Looking+After+Your+Health+-+kids+books.jpg Read with Kids - Top Life Skills Books for Kids - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/bb505802-1117-421f-9b67-dbf20fd106a2/Cooking+books+for+kids+-+Chef+Academy+and+Start+to+Cook.jpg Read with Kids - Top Life Skills Books for Kids - BEGINNER COOKING AND KITCHEN SKILLS The Usborne Start to Cook book is an excellent primer for children who are just starting out in the kitchen.

In Bug’s First Day, Bug is a little monster experiencing his first day at school. Like many first-time students, he’s feeling nervous. Will the other students laugh at him because he doesn’t know his numbers or how to read? With gentle encouragement from his teacher, Bug learns that not only are his classmates still needing to learn the same things, he’s also there to make friends and play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9ace4aea-1ac0-4daa-9b46-b7cf62675f55/School+of+Monsters+-+Bugs+First+Day+beginning+chapter+book.jpg Read with Kids - School of Monsters beginner chapter books: Bug’s First Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/e9cab229-3ee9-42eb-bfc6-1e8166cfff84/Inside+page+-+Bugs+First+Day+beginning+chapter+book.jpg Read with Kids - School of Monsters beginner chapter books: Bug’s First Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/ab36c796-eb33-402e-9054-dbf0a2643098/Inside+pages+of+Bugs+First+Day+-+showing+beginner+reader+words+to+learn.jpg Read with Kids - School of Monsters beginner chapter books: Bug’s First Day The back of the book includes a review of the new words learned, tips for caregivers on using the book as a teaching tool, and a step-by-step drawing activity that helps children build interest in the book while working on fine motor control. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/kidsbooks/worries monthly 0.5 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/9513fd6a-a9eb-43a9-a613-579dc111cb5d/Kids+book+for+emotion+coping+-+Worries+Big+and+Small.jpg Read with Kids - Worries Big and Small - A reassuring encyclopedia of over 100 “what ifs” for young readers, Worries Big and Small tackles many common concerns among children.

One of my favorite parts about this book is that it shows the body language that is related to various feelings. If your child is struggling with social awareness, this section in particular can go a long way to encouraging emotional intelligence. Body language awareness helps children understand how to identify emotions in others, how to identify what they’re feeling themselves, and to determine what to do with those feelings as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/3e817353-6663-41ef-a647-e1c2a47db72d/Children+books+about+feelings+-+Worries+Big+and+Small.jpg Read with Kids - 5 of the Best Kids’ Books for Taming Big Emotions Once your child has a foundation for understanding their feelings, Worries Big and Small can be a great home library addition for helping children walk through what to do when they're experiencing some worrisome situations. For example: what if I need to go to the doctor and get a checkup? What if my teacher's mad at me? What if I make a mistake in front of the whole class? Not only does the introduce some coping skills, it also will gently guide them toward talking to an adult, when that's appropriate. https://www.thenerdygnome.com/kidsbooks/raisingreaders monthly 0.5 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/a75aa982-836d-4240-9d8d-e94881c75083/Raising+readers+with+frequent+book+access.jpg Read with Kids - 4 Easy Ways to Raise a Reader - One of the most common questions I get as a professional in the publishing industry is “How can I raise a reader?” Most parents hope to raise kids who love books. The more kids love to read, the better they become at reading! Kids who read as a hobby often are academically focused, too. I want to start by saying this: raising a reader is sometimes out of our control — some kids will have learning difficulties that work against us and make reading less enjoyable for them, or even just other interests that distract them. Take comfort: if you have a reluctant reader at home, most likely their disinterest in reading has absolutely nothing to do with what you did or didn’t do! Still, there are a few things we can do to help encourage reading, no matter how enthusiastic or reluctant kids are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/65ed8625-a1b9-4880-8cad-c3ed5a4b285a/Baby+selecting+books+-+frequent+book+access.jpg Read with Kids - 4 Easy Ways to Raise a Reader - Provide Frequent Access The easiest way to get kids to fall in love with books is to provide them with lots of books! This can involve frequent trips to the library, listening to audiobooks in the car together, and building your own home library. The idea here is that the more books surround them, the more opportunities kids have to pick them up and fall in love! In some cases, this might mean books coming home from the library and being returned unread, but keep up the habit! You never know when the urge to read might strike or which book might spark an interest, so be patient and just keep providing access to books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/0e4c2dbc-28b6-4d8a-876d-fa83f561df3d/Boy+reading+Nibbles+the+Dinosaur+Guide.jpg Read with Kids - 4 Easy Ways to Raise a Reader - Rotate Their Book Selection It’s human nature to tune out something that’s in our environment day in and day out. That’s why it can be helpful to rotate your child’s available books. For some, this might mean keeping seasonal books tucked away during the off-season, or it might mean picking a spot to highlight a few books at a time and then swapping them out. Frequent library trips help keep the selection fresh, but remember that even the books you own at home may need an update! Kids’ brains grow and develop just as their bodies do, so a handy rule is to review your kids’ book selection each time they outgrow a clothing size, to see if they’ve also outgrown their books and are needing something more advanced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/59d2f7bf-0926-4a09-bb4c-64f9fc9ae142/Bookshelf+with+children%27s+books+in+rainbow+order.jpg Read with Kids - 4 Easy Ways to Raise a Reader - Display Covers Facing Out While it’s tempting to keep books tucked neatly on their shelves, or — in my case, to fit as much as possible onto the bookshelf — instead, try leaving books on tables, in baskets, or on the shelves with the covers facing out. Publishers intentionally create a book’s cover to be as enticing as possible, so take advantage of that “marketing” and make sure your kids can see the covers of their books, not just the spines! A well-designed book cover can intrigue and draw your kid in, encouraging them to read on a whim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/cc75f0a6-93db-4d3b-8ff8-3f634cf1d3c3/Mom+and+boy+reading+on+the+couch+together+-+raising+readers.jpg Read with Kids - 4 Easy Ways to Raise a Reader - Model Reading Yourself One important thing to remember is that when you’re looking to create a book-loving culture within your family, being a reader yourself goes a long way! Kids often copy what they see, so if they see you making time to read, they are more likely to do it themselves, especially as they get older and become independent readers. While I used to feel guilty taking time to read to myself for my own enjoyment, I now intentionally try to make a habit of reading in front of them, knowing that this modeling helps them in the long run, too. When we read for our own enjoyment, we send a message to our kids that reading is something we feel is important and worth taking the time for — and that they should feel the same! https://www.thenerdygnome.com/kidsbooks/popsiclebookmarks monthly 0.5 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/cb55093c-08cb-4e26-9dc7-ccbb0ec2f4ba/Popsicle-stick-bookmark-collection.jpg Read with Kids - Popsicle Stick Bookmarks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/ff8f5566-1361-4b5f-8728-84af1479a403/Popsicle-stick-bookmark-materials.jpg Read with Kids - Popsicle Stick Bookmarks - Materials Clean wooden popsicle sticks Washable markers Stick-on googly eyes Washi tape That’s it!

You may want to lay the stick on top of a piece of paper before using the marker, to keep the ink from getting on the table. You can also purchase pre-colored sticks to skip this step entirely! Step 2 — Peel off the backing from the googly eyes (as many as you want!) and stick the eyes to the top of your stick. Young children will likely need help with this step — older children will get great fine motor skills practice doing it themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/44382482-91db-4e0e-aa0d-b8016fb54b10/Making-Popsicle-Stick-Bookmarks.JPG Read with Kids - Popsicle Stick Bookmarks - Step 3 — Tear off a piece of washi tape and wind it around the stick to “dress” your bookmark. You can use as many different patterns of washi tape as you’d like on each bookmark. Try experimenting with different wrapping techniques — make stripes by wrapping evenly, or a more random look by criss-crossing the washi tape up and down. Step 4 — Use a marker to complete the face of your new bookmark. You can keep it simple and just add a smile, or go for more details by adding a nose, mustache, hair — whatever you’d like! Once you’ve added all the details you want, your new popsicle stick bookmark is done and ready to use! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640915f654fb3802848bea47/1711477676275-G04EJ08JQACTGLMG3J6G/IMG_1621.jpg Read with Kids - Popsicle Stick Bookmarks - Boy-with-popsicle-stick-bookmarks.jpg A boy is holding up a collection of brightly colored popsicle stick bookmarks.
