Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd. The day was created in 1998 by the National Education Association to get kids excited about reading, and is celebrated on the same day as the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Why just kids? Why just Americans? There is plenty to get excited about in reading, including all of today’s new books.
Android Wars is the first in a new series by J.N. Chaney and Jonathan P. Brazee. After a high-risk operation leaves most of his body destroyed, Aiden Thorn undergoes an experimental procedure—one he never consented to. With no choice but to adapt, he struggles to reclaim his identity in a body that no longer feels like his own.
But survival takes on a new meaning when a powerful intergalactic corporation lays claim to Aiden and others like him, treating them as assets rather than people. Now, he must do what he does best—fight back. Because if he doesn’t, he won’t just lose his freedom… he’ll lose himself entirely.
The New Orleans Series by Nicole Pyland continues with March. Sophie Santiago meets Bryce, a stunning tourist, one night out, and after a few hours of talking and dancing, she knows they’re meant to be more than just a one-night encounter. But they part ways without exchanging contact info. A year later, the two reconnect, but can their brief, magical encounter lead to something real? Finding love in a New Orleans bar wasn’t supposed to happen—but for Sophie and Bryce, it just might.
Strait Through the Heart is the fourth book in the Flip Flop Detective Series by Colin Conway. Former Deputy Sam Strait lives by simple rules, the most important being to stay where flip-flops are acceptable. This lifestyle lets him avoid the cold and follow the sun. But when a former lover calls for help, Sam is pulled back into a world of trouble. Her boyfriend is in legal hot water, and soon, Sam finds himself leaving his island paradise for snowy, frigid temperatures. Sam’s life—and his laid-back rules—may never be the same again.
The Darcy Hunt FBI Series by Eva Sparks continues with The Lost Witness. FBI Agent Darcy Hunt is tasked with finding a missing witness to a brutal crime, but the deeper she investigates, the more she questions whether the witness is as innocent as everyone believes. As Darcy digs for the truth, she’s also haunted by her sister’s hospital room going up in flames. Meanwhile, Toby Parsons is quietly preparing for his final, devastating move.
