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
When a strange invitation shows up in Sarah's backpack, the Delta's learn that their favorite funhouse, The Delta Game, is about to get some serious competition. The "Mystery Mansion" is opening just miles away and the ominous and cryptic owner has invited Sarah, West, and Hannah to come test it on opening day. It claims to be the biggest and best escape house ever and based on the photos of gleaming rooms filled with high-tech puzzles, it just might be.
What's more, the kids have been offered a ten-thousand-dollar prize if they escape the house. For some reason, West and Hannah seem very interested in the cash prize, but the three friends are torn because they really don't want to be a walking advertisement for a competitor to The Delta Game. After all, that funhouse changed their lives, Sarah's life especially.
But maybe the only way to keep the funhouse, and their friend William Taters in business, is to accept the invite to this new Mystery Mansion, escape it in record time, and show just how lame and easy it is by comparison. The trio arrive at the mansion on opening day, armed with their "fortune favors the bold" attitude. But they quickly learn that nothing is as it seems . . . and unfortunately this time, not everyone plays fair.
This is the sequel to The Mystery of Locked Rooms which is her first foray into middle grade mystery, and I liked it, but will always prefer her middle grade horror, but I am curious about this second one. It comes out September 30th from Sourcebook Kids.

Adult
Meet Alma Timperley. She
- Run a hotel
- Solve a mystery
- Talk to ghosts...?
December, 1914: After the death of her aunt, Alma Timperley is surprised when she suddenly finds herself the heiress to the Timperley Spiritualist Hotel in a pretty coastal town in Cornwall.
But not everything is as it seems... the hotel offers guests a very special the chance to communicate with the dead.
When the body of one of the hotel's maids is found, it is considered a tragic wartime accident. But the more Alma and the local police try to fathom what happened, the more they begin to realise this is much more than just a death - there might be a German spy in Falmouth.
With the stakes higher than ever, Alma must grapple with her own extraordinary secret if she is going to have more than a ghost of a chance of solving the mystery.
Being able to talk with the dead is one thing; solving their murder is positively ghoulish...
This one sounds fun! Doesn't have the greatest reviews but still curious about it. This one comes out October 2nd from Hodder & Stoughton
