It’s Wednesday, March 11, 2026, which means it’s time to honour the unsung heroes of every toolbox for National Worship of Tools Day. Whether it’s a hammer, wrench, screwdriver, or something more specialized, chances are at least one of them has saved the day for you in the past year. Give them a little shine and sharpening – you never know when you’ll need them next.
And speaking of tools, here’s hoping someone tightened the screws on your bookshelves, because you’re going to need them. More than 30 new releases are hitting shelves today, so let’s see what’s new!
Murder in a Cornish Teashop by Fliss Chester (Maddie Penrose Mysteries Series)
In the mood for a cozy mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie or Verity Bright? Murder in a Cornish Teashop is the first book in the “Maddie Penrose Mysteries” series by Fliss Chester. It’s addictive, full of wit and warmth, and fellow mystery author T.E. Kinsey calls it “clever, funny, charming.”
While visiting her grandmother’s peaceful Cornish farm, Maddie Penrose expects quiet days in the teashop – until a body is found in the field nearby. As suspects pile up and another murder follows, Maddie’s amateur investigation puts her closer to the truth – and directly in the killer’s path.
Hade by Anastasija White (Hale Brothers Series)
Anastasija White’s latest novel is an accidental‑pregnancy romance titled Hade. It’s a steamy story featuring a rockstar at the centre of the chaos and chemistry. Hade is the second book in the “Hale Brothers” series, but it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone.
Riley Evans has loved Hayden Hale for years, but the famous musician never seemed to see her – until one unexpected night changes everything. Now, with a pregnancy and the spotlight closing in, Hayden must decide if he’s ready to face his past and choose the woman who’s always been there.
His Mate By Defiance by Mel Aitchess (Lunetti Pack Series)
His Mate by Defiance is an M/M paranormal romance with bite. Book 4 in Mel Aitchess’ “Lunetti Pack” Mafia shifter series features an age‑gap dynamic, fated mates, and a strong hurt/comfort thread. It also leans into the series’ signature intensity with its rugged shifter world and emotionally charged connections.
After thirteen years of waiting for his jaguar shifter mate to acknowledge their bond, Rafe refuses to let Adri push him away again – especially after finding him injured in a brutal fighting ring. As shifters begin to disappear and a dangerous new threat emerges, both must decide whether fighting side by side is worth risking the connection they’ve avoided for so long.
