Summer has officially begun. While I love the warmer weather and spending time outside, my favorite season is fall because that’s when many big authors drop their new books! We recently ordered a bunch fall releases and while it’s still months before you can dive in, you can go into CountyCat now and place a hold. Get on the list early and you’ll be reading your favorite author’s book right after the release date.
A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins- August 31
Author of the best-selling Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins returns with another thriller about a gruesome London murder on a houseboat. The story focuses on three women who knew the victim….what secrets are they hiding?
