We love history around here, especially the little-known nuggets that not everyone is familiar with. For instance, did you know that June 19th is Garfield Day? On this day in 1978, Jim Davis debuted his Garfield comic strip and changed the world forever. It originally debuted in just 41 newspapers, but quickly grew in circulation and became the merchandising juggernaut we know today. Maybe we’ll have some lasagna to celebrate while perusing today’s new book releases.
To Love a Thief is the first book in the Ring of Thieves Series by Charissa Gracyk. Knox is a charming thief who lives for the thrill of the heist. He flirts, steals, and disappears without looking back. But when a job goes wrong and former Navy pilot Hunter saves him, everything changes. She is smart, strong, and completely uninterested in his usual games. Still, the chemistry between them is undeniable, and Knox is determined to prove he is more than just a smooth talker.
Hunter has watched her teammates fall in love while keeping her own heart guarded. Burned by a past relationship, she no longer believes in fairy tales. When Knox pulls her into a mission to recover a stolen emerald, she agrees to help but keeps her guard up. As they face danger together, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected. Trusting a thief feels impossible, but falling for him might be the only risk worth taking.
Bestselling author and Strictly Come Dancing Star Anton Du Beke‘s latest novel is Operation Tango. Summer, 1941. Twins Harry and Rosie Morton are evacuees on the Lancashire coast, enjoying seaside adventures and secretly learning to tango for their mother’s birthday. But their plans unravel when they learn their unpleasant cousin Jasper is coming to stay and their father is being sent back to the Western Front. A train journey throws them into the middle of a dangerous plot, and when no one believes their warnings, the twins must take action. With courage and quick thinking, they race to stop the threat and protect their family, hoping for one last dance with their parents before war returns.
Niall is the second book in The Irishmen Series by Melanie Moreland. Niall Black is Finn O’Reilly’s most trusted man, known for his discipline, sharp mind, and lethal calm. He keeps emotions out of business and life until Annabelle Lewis stumbles into his world. She is chaos wrapped in sunlight, and he cannot look away. When she is taken, Niall’s restraint snaps. With the city on edge and enemies circling, he will stop at nothing to bring her back. Love may be the one thing that makes him vulnerable, but it is also the reason he will tear the world apart. For Annabelle, Niall will risk everything without hesitation.
The Last Soldier of Nava is a Korean mythology-inspired epic by Yejin Suh. According to legend, the Soldier drowned entire kingdoms in darkness. In truth, she was just a girl shaped into a weapon by her father’s hunger for power. Now living in hiding as Shadow, she keeps her past buried and her magic contained. But when Scarlet, the ruthless heir to her father’s empire, captures her and brings her back to court, everything begins to unravel. War is coming. Magic is breaking. And the fragile trust growing between two former enemies might be the only thing standing between salvation and ruin.
