Exclusive Cover Reveal! ✨ People Magazine exclusively shared the cover Francine Prose’s new novel, FIVE WEEKS IN THE COUNTRY. Inspired by true events, it follows Hans Christian Andersen’s disastrous stay at Charles Dickens’ home in 1857. As tensions rise and personal conflicts unfold, this witty novel explores how life’s missteps can inspire art.

Prose told People: “Telling their story seemed like the perfect way to talk about writing, love, marriage, children, and two brilliant authors: a public figure in crisis and a houseguest, more at home in his fairy tales than in life, who overstays his welcome.”

Halloween might technically be over, but for spooky fans, this weekend still counts as Halloween weekend. 🖤 We’re re-reading the ultimate mommy horror novel, THE LAMB by

It masterfully weaves metaphors of love and grief into a story of a daughter’s journey into womanhood and her mother’s insatiable, cannibalistic desires. Isolating, raw, and hauntingly beautiful, The LAMB lingers long after the final page, leaving readers utterly stunned.

One Goodreads user, Brittany’sBoundbyBloodbooks calls the read:
*”Well done and rare, The Lamb sinks its teeth into you slowly, then tears right through to the bone. 🥩 It’s a tenderloin of trauma, plated with psychological dread and a side of mother-daughter rotisserie. Lucy Rose carves out a chilling, gothic tale where femininity, hunger, and control marinate together in something feral and grotesquely intimate.
🥩 Come for the horror, stay for the slow-roasted feminist fury.”*

Catherine Newman describes her new book, WRECK (aka Good Morning America’s November Book Club pick) in just three words. ✨ Readers everywhere are already connecting with the raw honesty and relatability of this story.

WRECK invites us back into the life of Rocky—eclectic, anxious, and hilariously real—as she navigates the chaos of family life and the spiraling uncertainty brought on by tragedy and health scares. It’s a poignant, witty reflection on life’s challenges.

As one Goodreads reader, Liz, perfectly put it: “Wreck feels like Newman was writing directly to me. And what’s so impressive, is I think many, many, many readers will feel like it was just for them, too.” ❤️
