📔The Unstoppables
David Biro
Regalo Press
Publication date : August 18, 2026
272 pages, Paperback

In The Unstoppables, Dr. Richard Kline returns to Bay Ridge to take over his father’s medical practice, expecting a steady and conventional life. Instead, his wife leaves him, his practice comes under pressure, a mysterious new bookkeeper enters the picture and a patient pulls a gun in his waiting room.

When Richard needs help, he reaches out to his two childhood friends, Sal and Sean. One is the son of a notorious mob boss, while the other is a police officer and their reunion proves that some friendships can survive decades, secrets and very different paths through life.

I really enjoyed the combination of old-school Brooklyn atmosphere, complicated characters, friendship, family and a touch of mystery. At its heart, this is a story about the bonds we form when we’re young and how powerful those connections can still be years later.

📔The English Bookstore in Bologna
Boo Walker
Lake Union Publishing
Publication date : August 18, 2026
443 pages, Paperback

Step into a little English bookstore tucked away on a cobblestone street in Bologna, where five people at very different crossroads find something they didn’t know they needed: each other. The English Bookstore in Bologna is a warm, poignant and sometimes funny story about damaged people, second chances and the unexpected ways connection can help us heal.

I loved the idea of a struggling bookstore becoming a haven for expats who are all trying to reinvent themselves in one way or another. Add the beautiful Italian setting, complicated characters, books, friendship and a little romance and you will find a lovely summer read!

Lang Leav
Harper Perennial
Publication date : July 21, 2026
288 pages, Paperback

A young woman’s life spirals out of control after her childhood best friend publishes a memoir about the tragic events of their adolescence : Mei’s life isn’t what she thought it would be. She is still entangled in a love triangle with Jacques and Kath that began when they were teens; her parents are drowning in debt; and she’s stuck pulling off identity fraud jobs for her cruel boss, whose nauseating son won’t leave Mei alone. But Mei’s world begins to truly unravel when she hears her estranged best friend Soey’s voice for the first time in years, being interviewed on the radio about her new memoir, recounting the childhood attack that left Soey with brain damage and killed her younger sister Daiyu. When Mei reconnects with Soey, their encounter kicks off a series of events that culminate in tragedy, thrusting Mei into the public eye. As past and present collide, Mei spirals after Soey implores her to find out who killed Daiyu, a search that leads Mei to uncover what happened that dark day in the woods behind their school, all those years ago.

Revered for her lyrical imagery, emotional acumen and thoughtful voice, Lang Leav uses her gifts to brilliant effect, exploring unsolved mysteries, cycles of trauma and abuse and the answers to a timeless how do you honor someone’s memory without losing sight of yourself?

Cathleen/Woven From Words : the Llama Quest series by Megan Reyes
Dak (llama caretaker) and Fenn (keeper of the stones in Ravenwood), embark on adventures with a talking magical llama. I enjoy the series since it teaches teamwork, and there’s a variety of magical creatures.

Damien Jackson : I Am a Spicy Nugget by Loryn Brantz
I read this with my Nieto and we absolutely love the illustrations and the message. I’m glad that I can point to the emotions showing on her face as she deals with being upset. Taking deep breaths and using her coping skills, she was able to calm herself down.
This was a great story about dealing with big feelings. I highly recommend this book.

BookBaby
Publication date: July 22, 2025
48 pages, Hardcover

From a young age, Cece dreams of becoming a doctor. As she grows, her desire to help others becomes stronger, but the road toward her dream isn’t always easy.
Along the way, Cece experiences both sweet victories and sour setbacks. Through these challenges, she learns that failure doesn’t mean the end, it can be an important part of learning, growing and trying again.

I absolutely love that this story goes beyond simply encouraging children to dream big. It shows them that big dreams can take patience, perseverance, courage and a willingness to keep going when things don’t go as planned.

The story also highlights the importance of mentors and the people who encourage us along the way. And with a fun crossword puzzle included, there’s an interactive element that makes this inspiring story even more engaging for young readers!

🔮 magical family legacies
🧙‍♀️ powerful women

💕 Thank you for sending me gifted copies Scribner Books Professor Marion Gibson witchesetc Alice Hoffman !

📔Today I’m sharing two very different books that explore the world of witchcraft in their own unforgettable ways. One takes us into the dark and very real history of witch trials in seventeenth-century Britain, while the other invites us into the magical world of the beloved Owens family.

From historical fear and persecution to family curses, ancient magic and powerful women, these two books offer completely different, but equally fascinating, perspectives on witches.

💥Witchland: A Deadly Moral Panic in Seventeenth-Century Britain by Marion Gibson (September 22, 2026 by Scribner)

Travel back to seventeenth-century Britain in this gripping work of historical nonfiction, where fear, religious fervor, misogyny, poverty and wartime upheaval helped fuel devastating witch hunts.

Drawing on newly discovered historical documents, Marion Gibson brings the accused back into the story, focusing on the real people whose lives were destroyed by accusations of witchcraft.

It is a haunting look at how fear can spread through communities and how the most vulnerable can become its victims.

💥Practical Magic 2 be Alice Hoffman (October 18, 2022 by Scribner)

The Owens family is back for the spellbinding conclusion to the Practical Magic series!

With a centuries-old curse still haunting the family, Jet Owens discovers a dangerous magical book that might finally hold the secret to breaking it. As generations of Owens women come together, they must confront their family’s history, sacrifice, love and the magic that has shaped their lives.
