@JillRhudy Main character is 17 & publisher is promoting it as Adult but I think it would make a good YA crossover. #ewgc

@JillRhudy @Joe_Jones @deienara Been doing 'ARCs Around the Library' for more than a decade now & the staff love it! They even contact me to ask for ARC's to offer to customers who will be coming to upcoming library programs. #ewgc

@Joe_Jones @deienara @JillRhudy Ditto here, Joe. Although am currently on track with my 2024 reading goal, it isn't limited to just ARCs. No way I could ever keep up on all the ARCs (THANK YOU, publishers! 😀👍) & any I don't take for myself, I offer to co-workers as: 'ARCs Around the Library' #ewgc

@ZenLibrarian @JillRhudy Just finished a debut romance: JUST STAB ME NOW by Jill Bearup. For historical romance fans who like a mix of Medieval History & Metafiction with hilarious banter between characters (who wont follow the plot) & their overly anxious author. A fun, 1 sitting read!😄 #ewgc

@VNesting Last week the weather 'tried' to pretend it was actually Spring (70, almost 80 degrees, 2-3 days in a row) Now are back to a more normal 40-50 degrees but with rain today & expected for the next few days. Arrrgh, it's barely March ... nowhere near April yet! #ewgc

Also intrigued by GHOST STATION by S.A. Barnes (@TorNightfire in April) - space horror where "a crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet." Inside cover tease: "The past will haunt you ... to death" #ewgc

Read MAL GOES TO WAR by Edward Ashton (of MICKEY 7 fame); coming from @StMartinsPress in April) - a Free AI gets stranded in damaged android body & pulled into a nasty war between rival human groups. "... a satirical take on war, AI, & what it really means to be human." #ewgc
