Join us during Friday Night Live for a meet and greet and book signing with Jen Ellis, the author of Bernie’s Mitten Maker, a raw and honest account of the joy, stress, and shock of sudden internet fame.
What I love most about Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s writing is that I always learn something niche about the era she's writing in. Like a movie reel, unspooling old, glossy film, in Silver Nitrate we are shown several decades of the film industry while remaining rooted in Mexico City during the 90s. Told from two perspectives, best friends, Montserrat and Tristán, a burgeoning mystery unfolds concerning a cursed film, Nazi occultism, and a secret history too enticing to ignore.
It is impossible to come into this book thinking it is one thing because you will inevitably be surprised by how the narrative moves otherwise. SMG creates lush, cultish aesthetics and characters to set the mood, tempo, and pace, lulling you into an immersive reading experience that makes you want to uncover your own secret film from a bygone era.
Written by a Vermont author. Check! Impressive world building, along with intriguing folklore within different cultures. Check! A magical school. Check! If this hits every checkpoint in your list (as it did on mine), I highly recommend this series with every fiber of my being! And I cannot get over the magic. Oh my goodness, the magic! The magic system itself is so original and intriguing. so much so that I devoured this book in a single day! And I continue to steamroll through the rest of the series. I cannot recommend this series enough.
Maggie Banks is everything that the Town of Bell River fears: rebellious. So when she takes hold of the bookshop for a friend, Maggie does everything in her power to give what the people want and need. And that is the freedom to read anything and everything that if of this century. This is a book for those who love some romance but with a bigger slice of modern feminism and wonderful character development.
What a refreshing tale where the human protagonist understands and plays the games of Fae. Jude is a force not to be reckoned with and her unwavering strength in the face of immortal magical beings within the confines of her own mortal powerless body is what drives you to pick up the next page. I highly recommend this book and series!
