  Books, magick, and a beastly mystery will create havoc in Belle’s enchanted world! A fairytale retelling of Beauty & the Beast! 
  Books talk to me. Literally. It’s the best kind of magick I know. 
  If only book aficionado Leo Kingsley would open up to me, too. 
  I tell myself I only want to know him because his famous library calls to me. My witchy power yearns to discover what his collection has to say.  
  But the truth is, I find him just as fascinating. What will he tell me if and when I get him to trust me? 
  Things get interesting when I discover a "normal" book. As in mute. As in not speaking to me.  
  Searching for clues as to why, I approach Leo, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that leads to a beast of a secret and causes wild animals to suddenly attack our town. 
  Can I uncover the mystery of who is controlling them and why? Will Leo trust me with his hairy conundrum? Or will bringing the book’s truth to light cost me Leo along with my heart?

  June 6, 1944. Allied forces hit the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. Among the countless lives shattered are those of five spirited women with starkly different lives. As the war reaches its tipping point, each of the women fight for the survival of themselves, their countries, and their way of life during one of the most pivotal days in history. 
  
  American expatriate Mildred, better known as Axis Sally, has a thriving career as a Nazi radio propagandist, but her conscience haunts her. Meanwhile, across the English Channel, young medical volunteer Theda is pushed to her limit as shiploads of casualties dock in Portsmouth. Closer to the front, intrepid Flora aids the French resistance while seeking out her vanished parents. Iron-willed Emilia has climbed the Gestapo ranks, but she is now bent on betraying them. Finally, dignified Adelaide’s faith is shaken when she is forced to quarter German soldiers.
  
  Now, during the most perilous twenty-four hours of their lives, all five women must summon courage they never knew they had as they confront the physical dangers of war alongside treacherous family secrets, heartbreak, and the ability to trust themselves. For these women, their inner strength is their only hope. But is it enough? How far can one person go for the things they believe in?

  Strega

  Powerfully inventive and atmospheric, Strega is a modern gothic story of nine young women on the cusp of inheriting society's submission to violence, and the age-long myths that uphold it.
  With little boxes of liquorice, hairbands, and notebooks in her bag, Rafa arrives at the remote Alpine town of Strega to work at the grand Olympic Hotel. There, she and eight other girls receive the stiff uniforms of seasonal workers and are taught to iron, cook, and make the beds by austere matrons. In spare moments between tasks, the girls start to enjoy each other's company as they pick herbs in the garden, read in the library, and take in the scenery. But when the hotel suddenly fills with people for a raucous party, one of the girls disappears. What follows are deeper revelations about the myths young women are told, what they are raised to expect from the world, the violence they are made to endure, and, ultimately, the question of whether a gentler, more beautiful life is possible.
  A monument to long-dead maids and their shrouded knowledge, Johanne Lykke Holm's luminescent and jagged prose, delivered in Saskia Vogel's incisive translation, resonates like a spell that keeps exerting its powers long after reading.
