Cursed Daughters

💬 From Jenna: "This is a book about family, sisterhood and what it means to fall in love," Jenna says, teasing "a few epic love stories at the center."

Wreck

From the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Arrival comes a phenomenal speculative thriller about a federal agent and a therapist who team up to stop an otherworldly killer.
Full of thrilling reveals, stunning plot twists, and a mordant sense of humor, Simultaneous is a mind-bending, one-of-a-kind thriller by a true genre star.
Service95 (Dua Lipa's Book Club)
The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood
In a chilling near-future world where women are stripped of all rights, one Handmaid fights to survive and reclaim her voice in a world built on control and fear.
💬 From Dua Lipa: “My monthly read for November is The Handmaid’s Tale, a book that terrified me when I read it in high school, but which I could at least mentally file under ‘dystopian fiction.’ Today, I’m not so sure.”
Read with Raegan
The Moss
by Lisa Lueddecke
A girl returns to her hometown and the sinister bogland surrounding it in search of her missing sister in this harrowing, atmospheric young adult horror perfect for fans of Shea Ernshaw and The Haunting of Hill House.
💬 From Raegan: “...a haunting, atmospheric story perfect for cozy fall nights.”
TeaTime Book Club (Dakota Johnson's Book Club)
The Ten Year Affair
by Erin Somers
A hilariously acerbic sliding doors novel about a chance meeting between two young parents, both happily married (just not to each other) that sparks a will-they/won't-they romance. Perfect for fans of Big Swiss and Acts of Service.
💬 From TeaTime: “It’s smart, witty, and might make you think about all the ways your life could have been (eep!).”
Library Science (Kaia Gerber's Book Club)
Nymph
by Stephanie LaCava
A brilliant young woman born into a family of assassins navigates love, danger, and identity in New York City, where every choice could mean freedom... or a fatal inheritance.
💬 From Kaia: “This story ends with a storm—but the entire experience of reading it is a storm in and of itself. It follows a young assassin (Bathory) from a family of assassins, as she examines violence through love. This novel—which you’ll read in one sitting—is an exorcism, as all of Stephanie’s work is. But it’s also precise, funny—and makes you feel deranged / disoriented in the best possible way. You wind up contemplating pain and pleasure for days after you put it down, whether you want to or not.”
