Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Pillagers' Guide to Arctic Pianos by Kendra Langford Shaw. Deep in the remote reaches of the Arctic Territory, the Spahr family makes its home on a secluded fjord, reachable only by kayak or float plane, surrounded by a landscape that is transforming as glaciers recede and the sea creeps higher. They live in Jubilation House, a fitting name for a clan defined by wild spirits and generous hearts, descended from the original homesteaders who once attempted, against all logic, to tame the Glacial Front. Their off‑grid life in a refurbished fisherman’s shack is sustained by selling pickled octopus and sea-grown goods, but each passing day makes survival feel more uncertain.
Everything changes when a neighbor hauls up a centuries-old piano, a relic from the early homesteading era, when settlers were required to drag a six-hundred‑pound instrument across the ice as a symbol of cultured society; most never made it. This exquisitely carved piano, perfectly preserved in the Arctic depths, suddenly becomes a priceless collector’s item. The discovery ignites a frenzy across the territory: piano hunting. The Spahrs dive headfirst into the craze, hopeful for a financial lifeline, but soon realize that the pursuit of salvation comes at a steep cost.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for No Safe Secret by Fern Michaels. Molly appears to have a flawless life, from her sleek silver Mercedes to her immaculate designer kitchen. Married to Tanner, a prominent cosmetic dentist, she’s raising a daughter about to graduate high school and helping care for Tanner’s twin sons from his first marriage. To the residents of Goldenhills, Massachusetts, she seems to embody perfection. None of them knows what it’s truly like to live with Tanner, and they certainly don’t know anything about the life she abandoned in Florida nearly twenty years ago.
Back then, Molly was Maddy Carmichael, sharing a dilapidated trailer with her twin brother and their neglectful mother in the middle of Florida’s orange groves. After the horrific events of her prom night and the revenge that followed, she escaped north and built a new identity. Now, the glossy surface of Molly’s carefully crafted world is beginning to fracture.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for A Slash of Emerald by Patrice McDonough. London, 1867: In polite society, young women may dabble in painting, but pursuing art as a true profession is another matter entirely. Dr. Julia Lewis, well acquainted with the dismissiveness faced by women in unconventional roles, isn’t shocked when Scotland Yard brushes off her friend Mary Allingham’s report of a break‑in at her studio. Mary is only one of several “lady painters” being targeted by vandals.
At the same time, artist models, women already treated as expendable, are disappearing. Inspector Richard Tennant takes these incidents seriously, believing they may be connected to the anonymous, venomous letters sent to other members of the Allingham family. For Julia, the situation grows even more tangled thanks to Tennant’s past relationship with Mary’s sister‑in‑law, Louisa, and her own unexpected response to that complicated history.

Those born with magic fare no better; they’re forced into a brutal academy where they’re shaped into mages who serve his expanding, merciless rule.

All he has to do is stay professional and keep his distance. Simple enough, until the chemistry between them flares back to life, reminding him he’s always wanted more with Albany.
Albany agrees to help for Joyce’s sake, and because she needs the money after a painful divorce. But this time, she’s setting the terms. She refuses to let the only man she’s ever loved break her heart again. Still, the more time they spend together, the more their old spark pulls them closer. And closer. And closer.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Big Name Fan by Ruthie Knox. Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer aren’t detectives, though they once played them on TV. Their cult‑favorite series Craven’s Daughter ended five years ago, and their friendship ended with it. Fans were devastated that the duo’s electric on‑screen chemistry never turned into anything more, and even more disappointed that the real spark between Bex and Sam fizzled out, too. The network had no intention of letting two women fall in love, on camera or off. But the deepest loss was the death of their close friend, makeup artist Jen Arnot, whose tragic accident overshadowed the show’s final episodes.
Now the network is planning a reunion special, and Bex and Sam are pushed back into each other’s orbit as cohosts of a rewatch podcast revisiting the show’s most beloved episodes. Their very first guest, a major star who once appeared as an early‑season murder victim, drops a stunning revelation. Buried among the mountains of fanfiction written about the series, one incredibly prolific writer, known to the fandom as the show’s Big Name Fan, was actually an insider…almost certainly someone who worked on the cast or crew.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Case of the Murdered Muckraker by Rob Osler. Set in Chicago in 1898, the story follows twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow, who is determined to prove she’s more than a token hire at the Prescott Agency, where she’s the first woman operative.

As Chicago begins to thaw after a brutal winter, Harriet’s confidence wavers when she’s handed a high-profile case far beyond her rank. To make matters more complicated, she must disguise herself as an ordinary young woman who prefers skirts to men’s clothing to slip unnoticed into the immigrant community connected to the crime.
The case spirals quickly. A muckraking journalist has been found dead in a southside tenement after uncovering evidence of political corruption. As Harriet earns the trust of the women living there and pieces together their stories, she discovers that an innocent mother may have been framed, and that the murder is tied to yet another violent death.

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.
