It's time to FEED YOUR TBR and I have a couple books you might find interesting!! I am curious about these books though I may not be anticipating them. These picks are almost out so not a lot of waiting involved. (Feed Your TBR is my version of Waiting on Wednesday now hosted by Wishful Endings)
Middle Grade Pick:
One twin died. One twin lived. But did the dead twin ever let go?
From K.R. Alexander, a bestselling master of such middle-grade frights as The Collector and The Fear Zone, comes the story of a girl whose live is inextricably linked to that of her dead twin... who refuses to go away, and wants to take control.I have read a few horror middle grade books from this author before and enjoyed them so I am kind of curious about this one. Not much to go on by that blurb though...lol.
This one comes out February 4th from Scholastics.
Adult Pick
A costume designer’s past casts a long shadow over her well-constructed lies in this intriguing story about stolen identities, friendship, and betrayal from the author of A Splendid Ruin and A Dangerous Education.
Hollywood, 1955. As head costume designer for Lux Pictures, Lena Taylor hears startling confessions from the biggest movie stars. She knows how to keep their secrets—after all, none of their scandals can match her own.
Lena was once Elsie Gruner, the daughter of an Ohio dressmaker. Her gift for fashion design helped her win a coveted spot at an art academy in Rome. While in Italy, she became enthralled by the charismatic Julia, who drew her into a shadowy world of jazz clubs, code words, and mysterious deliveries. When one of Julia’s intrigues ended in murder, Elsie found herself in the middle of a bewildering sinister international plot. So she ran.
After fleeing to LA, Elsie became Lena—but she’s never stopped looking over her shoulder. Now, as her engagement to a screenwriter throws her into the spotlight, she’s terrified her façade won’t hold up. Will she figure out the truth about her past before everything falls apart?Never heard of this author but I like historical mysteries and thought this sounded interesting. This one comes out February 1st from Lake Union Publishing.
