Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Cry Havoc by Rebecca Wait. After a humiliating family scandal forces sixteen‑year‑old Ida Campbell to flee Scotland, she earns a scholarship to a struggling girls’ boarding school on the isolated southern coast of England. The Headmistress, an eccentric woman fixated on the Cold War and the threat of nuclear disaster, seems oddly startled that Ida accepted the offer, but Ida hopes St. Anne’s might give her a fresh start. That hope fades when she learns her new roommate, the notorious Louise Adler, has a reputation as an arsonist and an unbreakable outsider.
Ida barely has time to settle in or unravel Louise’s mysteries before a new teacher, Matthew Langfield, joins the staff. The students are instantly fascinated. After all, who willingly signs up to work at St. Anne’s? But Eleanor Alston, the school’s geography teacher, senses something off about him. Her suspicions deepen as a strange illness begins sweeping through the school, leaving girls with sudden limb jerks and unexplained seizures, and turning St. Anne’s into a place far more dangerous than Ida ever imagined.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Jilted Countess by Loretta Ellsworth. Roza Meszaros once dreamed of becoming a ballerina, but the war shattered her ambitions and wiped out her aristocratic family’s wealth. When she meets an American soldier named Joe, she believes her luck has finally changed. He vows to marry her and bring her to the United States. After two long years spent gathering the money and documents she needs to emigrate, Roza arrives in Minnesota only to learn that Joe has already married someone else.
Refusing to give up on her new life in America, Roza seeks help from well‑known newspaper columnist Cedric Adams. He shares her story and photograph with his military readership, asking them to help her find a husband. The reaction is astonishing: nearly 1,800 World War II veterans flood the newspaper with telegrams, flowers, candy, and even cash, which Adams calls a world‑record number of marriage proposals.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Not The End by Francesc Borrull. This debut is written with quiet precision and deep empathy, tracing the ways loss settles into a life and how, over time, we learn to move with it rather than away from it. The collection lingers in memory, connection, and the small, persistent sparks that survive even our darkest moments. Intimate and haunting, Not The End reflects on what remains after the people we love are gone and the surprising forms continuation can take.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Three Days Earlier by Lynn Walker. Rachel Sharpe sees things, terrible things.

To cope, she avoids eye contact entirely and keeps her world small, limited to a few trusted people and her loyal tracking dog, Ruby. She thought Aaron, a man she couldn’t help falling for, might be one of the safe ones, until she glimpsed the tumor hidden behind his eyes. Three months later, he’s gone, taken by brain cancer. Now Rachel is terrified. What if she didn’t just sense Aaron’s illness? What if she somehow caused it?

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue. Inspired by an 1895 catastrophe immortalized in a series of haunting, almost unreal photographs, this novel hurtles forward aboard a train crowded with travelers from Brittany to Russia, Ireland to Algeria, Pennsylvania to Cambodia. Members of parliament race back to Paris for a crucial vote; a medical student fears a young girl is slipping toward death; a secretary tries to persuade her employer that moving pictures are the future; two crewmen carve out a secret life far from their wives; a young anarchist sets a chilling plan in motion, and that’s only the beginning.
From an author praised for “superb alchemy” by Audrey Niffenegger, The Paris Express vividly evokes the politics, glamour, upheaval, and accelerating pace that defined the final years of the 19th century.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for White River Crossing by Ian McGuire. In the winter of 1766, a ragged fur peddler arrives at a remote Hudson Bay Company outpost carrying a lump of gold and a tale of far greater riches hidden to the north at a place called Ox Lake. Magnus Norton, the outpost’s ambitious chief factor, seizes on the promise of sudden wealth and secretly assembles a dangerous expedition to claim it.
Guided by a local Indigenous family, the group includes Norton’s violent deputy, John Shaw, and Thomas Hearn, the reserved, bookish first mate from the company’s whaling ship. As they push deeper into the wilderness, Shaw’s cruelty culminates in an act of sexual violence whose full repercussions won’t surface until they reach their destination. Amid the stark, haunting expanse of the Barren Grounds, Norton’s grand plans begin to unravel, the arctic winter closes in, and Hearn faces a defining choice, one that will shape who he becomes and the life he must live beyond the ice.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Tracking the Mist by Clarice Montgomery. Detective Ryan Gibson follows a string of eerily resolved cold cases to off‑season Oak Island, a place of gray surf, weathered beach houses, and a police chief the townspeople revere. There, he meets Erika Willett, a brilliant, hard‑to‑pin‑down fixer who slips through small towns and leaves impossible cases neatly wrapped behind her. She’s racing to help a young woman, Christina, push forward a case the city would rather ignore, and Ryan, tasked with working alongside the chief, finds himself torn between the mentor he wants to impress and the stranger who keeps uncovering what everyone else overlooks.
As winter tightens its grip on the coast, the case refuses to stay steady. Stories warp, loyalties shift, and new clues emerge from places no one thought to search. Ryan is drawn from locals‑only bars to shadowed shoreline rentals and deep into sea‑carved caverns, chasing a truth the island keeps reshaping in murmurs. With every step, he must decide who deserves his trust and what he’s willing to risk, knowing one wrong read could pull the truth, and someone he can’t bear to lose, under.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Possibility Wing by Cindy Kirk. When librarian Cora Summerbell returns to GraceTown, she expects nothing more than a quiet chance to start over. Instead, she stumbles upon a long-forgotten wing in the old Carnegie Library, its shelves filled with uncanny books that reveal the alternate paths her life could have taken. Each one pulls her deeper into a mesmerizing mix of magical realism, romance, and tantalizing what‑ifs, different choices, different futures, different versions of the love she once lost. But as she journeys through these shadow-lives, she begins to realize that the truth she’s been searching for still exists in the life she’s living now, waiting for her to step forward and claim it.
