March wrap up! 26 books (21 audio, 4 e-book, 1 physical). Favorite was (appropriately) The Favorites. April is a huge month for books, I think there are more I’m interested in reading than days in the month. Here we go!

How did your month go?

Pub week spotlight! I love @chrisbohjalian and nev

Pub week spotlight!
I love @chrisbohjalian and never miss out on reading each new release from him. I love that his books never fall into a specific pattern (unlike many authors that I do still like despite that). His stories are all very different, even different genres! This time it’s historical fiction with The Jackal’s Mistress, which published 3/11/25.
Thank you to @doubledaybooks for my gifted copy.

📖📖Synopsis 📖📖
Virginia, 1864—Libby Steadman’s husband has been away for so long that she can barely conjure his voice in her dreams. While she longs for him in the night, fearing him dead in a Union prison camp, her days are spent running a gristmill with her teenage niece, a hired hand, and his wife, all the grain they can produce requisitioned by the Confederate Army. It’s an uneasy life in the Shenandoah Valley, the territory frequently changing hands, control swinging back and forth like a pendulum between North and South, and Libby awakens every morning expecting to see her land a battlefield.

And then she finds a gravely injured Union officer left for dead in a neighbor’s house, the bones of his hand and leg shattered. Captain Jonathan Weybridge of the Vermont Brigade is her enemy—but he’s also a human being, and Libby must make a terrible decision: Does she leave him to die alone? Or does she risk treason and try to nurse him back to health? And if she succeeds, does she try to secretly bring him across Union lines, where she might negotiate a trade for news of her own husband?

Pub day spotlight! Thank you, Partner @harpermuseb

Pub day spotlight! Thank you, Partner @harpermusebooks @uplitreads for my gifted copy. Counting Backwards by @jackiefriedland publishing 3/11/25. Told in two timelines, this was heartbreaking but so so good!
📖📖Synopsis 📖📖
A routine immigration case, a shocking legacy. Jessa Gidney’s quest for justice draws her into the heart of an abhorrent conspiracy. As she uncovers her personal ties to a heartbreaking past, her life takes a dramatic turn, in this
emotionally riveting novel inspired by true events. New York, 2022. Jessa Gidney is trying to have it all—a high- powered legal career, a meaningful marriage, and hopefully, one day, a child. But when her professional ambitions come up short and Jessa finds herself at a turning point, she leans into her family’s history of activism by taking on pro bono work at a nearby ICE detention center. There she meets Isobel Pérez—a young mother fighting to stay with her daughter—but as she gets to know Isobel, an unsettling revelation about Isobel’s health leads Jessa to uncover a horrifying pattern of medical malpractice within the detention facility. One that shockingly
has ties to her own family.
