Booklist’s Top 10 Women’s Fiction
Booklist recently announced their Top 10 Women’s Fiction picks (from March 2014-2015) and three books from Macmillan made the list!
FIRST FROST by Sarah Addison Allen
A January 2015 LibraryReads pick!
Two sisters have special gifts—the food Claire cooks that can mend a broken heart and the hairstyles Sydney creates that can spark true love with just the flip of a curl. Now Sydney’s teenage daughter discovers her gift but is unsure how to use it.
HOUSEWITCH by Katie Schickel
Allison Darling spent most of her childhood in foster care and still has a difficult time fitting in as a wife and mother. She discovers a new meaning of family when she finds out she’s descended from a line of witches.
LANDLINE by Rainbow Rowell
Not only is LANDLINE #1 on the July 2014 LibraryReads list, it also made the LibraryReads “Favorite of Favorites” 2014 Top 10 list!
Rowell casts a spell strong enough for her audience to buy into a yellow, corded telephone as a portal to the past, one where Georgie speaks to her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Neal, to try and repair the damage they have done to their relationship.
