This week features 41 new titles to explore.
In The Reimagining of Thornwood House by Jaleigh Johnson, “Johnson weaves a sumptuous tale around the themes of chosen family and new beginnings. With shades of Howl's Moving Castle and Baba Yaga folktales, this playful fantasy charms.” (Publishers Weekly)
