My reading list this week includes two advanced reader copies (ARCs) of books due out this fall.
The first is a new release by Roberta Silman, Summer Lightning. I started on this one over the weekend and I’m having a hard time putting down! It’s amazing.
The second is by Deborah Levison. Her new release, A Nest of Snakes is due out this fall. This is my second work for review by Levison. I really enjoyed The Crate so I am very excited to get started on this one.
And finally, yet another book that was all over Bookstagram around Hanukkah 2021. So, once again I’m a little late to the party. Or maybe I’m just getting a jump on my winter holiday really, really early. It’s all in how you look at it. Right? In this case, I’m planning to enjoy the audiobook.

A heart-wrenching story of abuse and complicity, A NEST OF SNAKES intricately unfolds the horrors experienced at an all-boys private school and the aftermath decades later through the eyes of a broken man seeking solace and justice. With exceptional dialogue and an utterly compelling and gripping cast of characters, Deborah Levison delicately handles trauma and pain while keeping the reader coiled in anticipation for the perpetrators to receive their punishment. A powerful read from a dazzlingly talented author.

Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: She loves Christmas. For a decade she’s hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family. Her talent has made her a best seller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach.
But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry. Hanukkah’s not magical. It’s not merry. It’s not Christmas. Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel’s determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy – Jacob Greenberg.
Though Rachel and Jacob haven’t seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah. But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah – and Jacob – in a way she never expected. Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze.
