General Fiction Book of The Month

City of Widows by Nadia Hashimi

In February 2020 the US began to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after nearly twenty years of occupation. A whole generation of Afghan women had been born during that time—women who had grown up in relative peace, gone to school, entered the professions, even served in the army and Parliament. The women of Afghanistan watched as the Taliban filled the streets again. They knew everything was about to change.

In the bustling, cosmopolitan city of Kabul, women are TV newscasters, shop owners, doctors, teachers, lawyers, even soldiers. They include Marjan, who fought with the Afghan army, and will risk everything to keep her daughter Hawa safe. In her earlier days Marjan was called Rahima and had lived the life of a bacha posh—a girl raised as a boy until she came of age. Forced into an early marriage, Rahima took the name Marjan when she fled her warlord husband. She’s created a whole new life for herself, one she will not give up easily.

So has Soraya, who defiantly wore red lipstick as she led the army’s all-female combat force over the objections of her upper-class family. Soraya’s now a wanted woman whose brother may choose not to shelter her from the Taliban. What will become of her Or Mina, a journalist and broadcaster whose beautiful face is known to everyone in Kabul—including the new regime

Annie Knows Everything by Rachel Wood

After being unceremoniously let go from her job, Annie is willing to do anything to stay in New York - including taking another position for which she is wildly unqualified. The problem? Her new boss, Connor, knows that Annie is only pretending to know what she's doing and charming though she may be, she's not going to be able to talk her way out of not knowing how to code.

To make matters worse, back home Annie's sister is going through a nightmare re-engagement to the worst man in Canada, which Annie is partly choosing to ignore because it's much more fun flirting with Connor, plotting ways to keep her new job, and playing matchmaker with her friends.

But the more Annie raises the stakes on her scheming, the more she risks hurting the people who matter to her most...

Last to Drown by Noelle W. Ihli

FIVE DAYS. TWENTY STRANGERS. NO PHONE SIGNAL.

The rafting trip was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. But now that Kaia's on the river, she's having second thoughts. Especially once the whispers about Camas Creek begin.

Seven years ago, a guide murdered a group of rafters on this same isolated stretch of water. And while the killer’s body was recovered downstream, the true-crime community has never stopped asking questions. And for good reason.

The accidents start innocently enough—but the pattern is sickeningly familiar. A flipped raft. Missing supplies. Sheer canyon walls on all sides. And eighty-four miles of whitewater until any sign of civilization.

Kaia begins to suspect that one of the guides is lying. One of the guests knows more than they're saying. And somewhere on this river, someone is planning to finish what started at Camas Creek.

Theodora's Tea Shop by Christy Anne Jones

A DESPERATE APPRENTICE.

A CHARMING WITCH.

A SECRET THAT THREATENS TO SHATTER IT ALL.

Dorothy Louise Walcott is a timid young woman. Twenty-three, chronically ill and over-educated, she dreams ceaselessly of running away from her drab existence to learn magic. But, in her country, the use of magic is strictly prohibited to all but an esteemed few.

In a moment of uncharacteristic bravery, Dot flees her dreary hometown and journeys to the capital, Alliaster, a city where spirits play cards with kings. She tumbles headfirst into an apprenticeship with the witch Theodora. Empress of an underground syndicate peddling magic from the quaint fa ade of her tea shop, Theodora is everything Dot wants to be: beautiful, witty, confident.

But the enigmatic Theodora is also hiding secrets. When her dark past comes calling, it threatens to drown the witch's empire, and take Dot, the tea shop and the city of Alliaster with it.

Non- Fiction Book of The Month

Checkmate by Ben Mezrich

In September 2022, the chess world watched in disbelief as Magnus Carlsen, widely considered the greatest player in history, faced an unthinkable defeat against the nineteen-year-old American upstart, Hans Niemann. When Carlsen withdrew from the prestigious Sinquefield Cup and subtly accused Niemann of cheating, shockwaves hit the chess community, igniting the biggest scandal in the sport's history.

Checkmate dives deep into this modern-day drama, tracing the parallel rises of Carlsen, the stoic virtuoso, and Niemann, the fiery disruptor. Niemann denied the accusations, even as past online cheating incidents surfaced, while powerful entities like Chess.com, a billion-dollar online arena, became entangled in the escalating controversy. As the scandal went viral, it became clear that more was at stake than a single game.

Checkmate is a story of ambition, genius and greed set against the backdrop of a once-niche game exploding into a global, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It's a compelling exploration of a world where tradition collides with innovation, and a new generation, forged in the digital age, threatens to upend everything.
