Hello, everyone, and welcome to Book Notification Weekly Picks.
This week’s Editor’s Pick is Tilt by Emma Pattee. I’m working my way through some of the best books of last year, and this was next up. This one probably isn’t for everyone, with a lot of millennial-speak and a pregnant main character talking to their unborn child, but it worked for me. The main reason is the earthquake setting, which feels very real and terrifying. In the acknowledgment section, the author explains how much research they did on this subject, and I think they pretty much nail it. Another part I enjoyed is the theme of a creative person struggling to be creative when the world of bills comes into play. I can certainly relate to that. Overall, I rated it an 8/10. (Strangely, two of the last five books I’ve read have featured a pregnant main character. I swear I’m not doing it on purpose.)
With February right around the corner, it is once again time to share my look at the February 2026 Book to Movie/TV Adaptations. Wuthering Heights is the big one, but there’s a bunch more new and returning adaptations.
That’s all I have for this week. Let’s get to the picks.
