Martha Waters recommends

The Geomagician (2026)
Jennifer Mandula
"The Geomagician is an absolute joy of a historical fantasy that feels truly fresh and new. The world-building is so clever, vivid, and fully realized, but it's the characters that really make this book shine - real, flawed, lovable people with complex relationships that you can root for. There's magic, romance, political machinations, dinosaurs. . . . What more do you need? I loved this book - Jennifer Mandula is an author to watch."

Austen at Sea (2025)
Natalie Jenner
"Austen at Sea is a book lover's dream! From Boston to the high seas to rural England to courthouses on both sides of the Atlantic, Jenner takes readers on a delightful bookish adventure that is certain to charm."

Earls Trip (2024)
(Earls Trip, book 1)
Jenny Holiday
"Earls Trip is a romantic, funny, entirely charming romp. Holiday perfectly straddles the line between a historical setting and modern sensibilities, and the result is the most fun I've had reading a book in months. This was a breath of fresh air, and I will be first in line to read the next book in the series."
