The Lunar Housewife (2022)
Caroline Woods
"A wild, rollicking ride that shows us the 1950s were anything but simpler times. Woods deftly rockets the reader through the Cold War, spy networks, living on the moon, and even into the life of Ernest Hemingway. Louise is the perfect feminist heroine, punching through the lies and misogyny to find her own truth in the world. Truly the most fun I've had reading a book in a long time."

Anticipation (2021)
Melodie Winawer
"Winawer's knack for bringing distant worlds to life is evident in her latest novel. Anticipation is a rich tapestry, meticulously researched, and woven with the threads of a sweeping romance, a wild ride through history, and a fascinating medical mystery, all set against the backdrop of an ancient Byzantine city. Settle in for a luxurious read!"

Jacobo's Rainbow (2021)
David Hirshberg
"Jacobo’s Rainbow is a powerful, electrifying glimpse into the life of a young student advocating for the Free Speech Movement and protesting the Vietnam War. It’s a story about truth, loyalty, tradition, and the shortcomings of human perception, an all-too-often occurrence for those who haven’t yet experienced much of life. Hirshberg’s keenly nuanced characters will remain with the reader long after the last page."
