We’re all familiar with the tale of King Arthur. The chosen boy who pulled the sword from the stone and became the High King of the kingdom of Britain. His triumphs and tragedies have been recounted for centuries, but we’re not often given a deeper look at those characters in his inner circle. Luckily, author Sophie Keetch has given readers this legendary world through the lens of a woman who has rarely been offered the opportunity to shine.

There’s something comforting about picking up a book that contains a story within a story. Books about books have a way of connecting an audience to the plot and characters in a different way than many other stories. Catherine Walsh delivers the best kind of book about books in her charming and heartfelt new release, How to Write a Love Story.

A boarding school is the perfect setting for a haunting. And an all-girls boarding school in the 1920s is just asking for spooky happenings. But what happens when the thing you’re most scared of isn’t the ghosts, it’s confronting the truth about your own feelings? This is the basic premise of Avery Curran’s debut novel, Spoiled Milk. An all-girls’ school is plagued by a series of mysterious deaths, and a group of students uncovers an entity far more dangerous than strict schoolmistresses.
