The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

John Boyne

If you start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy named Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to encounter one.

Summer in the City

Alex Aster

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster comes her adult debut novel Summer in the City—a swoony, fast-paced rom-com set in New York City in which a screenwriter and a sexy tech CEO go from lovers to enemies and back to lovers again… Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She’s had writer’s block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay…until she realizes her new neighbor is tech “Billionaire Bachelor” Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay... if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he’s on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red carpeted events, and she doesn’t like leaving her emotional support five block radius. One summer. One wall apart. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company’s precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper glimmering, pizza crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It’s all pretend. Promise. Until it isn’t.

The Lion Women of Tehran

Marjan Kamali

From the nationally bestselling author of the “powerful, heartbreaking” (Shelf Awareness) The Stationery Shop, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran. In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation. Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming “lion women.” But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives. Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences. Written with Marjan Kamali’s signature “evocative, devastating, and hauntingly beautiful” (Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of Light) prose, The Lion Women of Tehran is a sweeping exploration of how profoundly we are shaped by those we meet when we are young, and the way love and courage transforms our lives.

Question of the Day!

Ciao Bookaholics!

How is everyone doing?

My question for you all comes from the very history nerdy soul inside of me 😅

What historical event do you think would be a great premise for a book? 🤔

Privacy want!

Could there be a way to set a book you’re reading to private? But have it still count towards your reading goal? 🧍🏻‍♀️

Hey, Stop It

What is something you wish authors would stop doing when writing FMC's or MMC's?

For me, giving all the MMC's shadow powers. Bler I want to see something else!

Trying to find a niche romance novel trope, any ideas?

I keep thinking about a very specific type of novel. I've tried asking around before on places like Reddit but I'm hoping that maybe someone here might have an idea. I know that at least one book exists but I never found out the name.

The niche I'm looking for is technically fake dating but the two people fake dating don't actually end up together. To make things even more specific, I'm looking for books that are heteronormative. I've seen this trope play out where one of the two people faking dating is gay, which I'm all for, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for right now. (RIP me as I realize I'm asking this the day before Pride Month.)

I was told about one book that was a fake dating sports romance. A woman is hired to date a hockey/football? player for PR purposes but ends up falling in love with the coach. The coach also originally thinks she's a sterotypical bottle blonde. I don't even know if the story itself is any good but I'll never know because I've never found it.

Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for novels with this trope?
