THE HOLDOUT is Coming to Hulu and More Book Radar!

Welcome to another Thursday of bookish fun! There’s lots of exciting happenings going on in the world of publishing, and lots of great books heading our way. It’s all so exciting! Am I ever not excited about books? SPOILER: Nope. I love books! That’s why we get along so well. 🙂

Let’s see, what else? I watched a few episodes of Avenue 5, which I didn’t super-love, but enjoyed enough to keep going. It has promise. And my 365 Day Movie project update: I watched Honey Boy, Coco, Moneyball, The French Connection, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, Moana, and Frozen. I looooooooved Coco, Moneyball, Once Upon a Time…, and Moana. It was a good movie week for me!

Whatever you are doing or watching or reading this week, please remember to be kind to yourself and others. Thanks for subscribing, and I’ll see you again on Monday! – xoxo, Liberty

Book Riot Recommends 

At Book Riot, I work on the New Books! email, the All the Books! podcast about new releases, and the Book Riot Insiders New Release Index. I am very fortunate to get to read a lot of upcoming titles, and learn about a lot of upcoming titles, and I’m delighted to share a couple with you each week so you can add them to your TBR! (It will now be books I loved on Mondays and books I’m excited to read on Thursdays. YAY, BOOKS!)

Excited to read:

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey (Tor Books, February 16, 2021)

Yes, we’re in February of 2020, but I am already highly anticipating this thriller from Sarah Gailey, because everything they write is so exciting!

This one is about a scientist who discovers her husband is cheating on her with a younger clone of herself, created from her stolen research. When a confrontation turns deadly, both women are now widows who will have to think fast if they don’t want to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
