A wonderful, heartwarming, comforting read. The Faraway Inn offers a cozy, magical escape from the cares and troubles of ordinary life—for the reader as much as for the novel’s teenage heroine. (And there’s cake!)

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter, by Heather Fawcett
I loved this enchanting story, with its strong echoes of Howl’s Moving Castle and Beauty and the Beast.
Buried Deep and Other Stories, by Naomi Novik
Naomi Novik’s Buried Deep and Other Stories is a stellar collection of short fiction that displays all of her skill as a writer as well as the breadth of her imagination. I read it slowly, savoring each story.
The Lantern’s Dance, by Laurie R. King
I was very excited to read The Lantern’s Dance, the first new Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes mystery since 2021’s Castle Shade. Once started, I could hardly put it down, staying up until 2:30 in the morning to reach the denouement. Like The Murder of Mary Russell, the novel alternates between past and present narratives, slowly revealing hidden connections that surprised and enchanted me.
