February's Most Anticipated New Books
The cold heart of winter is traditionally the time to curl up with a blanket, a book, and a roaring fire. (Or a space heater–work with what you've got.) Let's take a leisurely scroll through the most anticipated titles in February.
The Victorian detective novel gets a new look with Jess Kidd's Gothic adventure Things in Jars, the kind of book title that demands attention. National Book Award winner Colum McCann returns with a story of conflict and friendship in the Middle East. And Margarita Montimore brings us the curious case of the reluctant time traveler. Also: Winston Churchill and a murder in Maine!
Each month the Goodreads editorial team takes a look at the books that are being published in the U.S., readers' early reviews, and how many readers are adding these books to their Want to Read shelves (which is how we measure anticipation). We use the information to curate this list of hottest new releases.

From the author of The Devil in White City, this World War II historical novel takes readers into the household and the war room of Winston Churchill. In the darkest hours of the Blitz, as German bombers plague London for 12 straight months, Churchill is forced to dodge bullets–domestically, politically and quite literally–to save his family and his nation.

When Sadie Foust moved her family from Chicago to rural Maine, she was hoping for a reprieve from urban anxieties. What she gets instead is a murder mystery. A killer is on the loose in this quiet coastal town. What's more, the old inherited house is decidedly creepy, her teenage niece is acting strange, and there seems to be something in the attic. These things make it difficult to relax. Kubica–author of The Good Girl–knows her way around a good psychological thriller.

Winner of this month's informal Awesome Book Title award, Things in Jars is a Victorian detective story in the key of Gothic weirdness. Bridie Devine, the storied female detective, must track down a kidnapped child with a golden pedigree. Along the way she encounters the usual trouble – a tattooed ghost, a seven-foot tall housemaid and several disquieting “collectors” looking to add to their display cases. Ah, London!

National Book Award winner Colum McCann (Let the Great World Spin) returns with a story of family and friendship in the troubled heart of the Middle East. Two fathers–one Israeli, one Palestinian–come together after tragedy to work for peace, even as they navigate the region's relentless checkpoints and ancient enmities. Resonant metaphor alert: Apeirogon is a geometry term referring to a shape with a countably infinite number of sides.

How's this for an intriguing setup: It's New Year's Eve 1982 and Oona Lockhart is diving headfirst into life. Will she study in London? Pursue music in New York? What about the boyfriend? Things get complicated when she wakes up the next morning in the year 2014, stuck inside her 51-year-old self. With each passing year, Oona leaps to another random age, rendering life itself, yes, out of order. Magical realism meets the time-space continuum, with some surprising results.

The Splendid and the Vile by Eric Larson. I've NEVER been disappointed by any of Mr. Larson's books. They are wonderful insights into history that read like detective novels.
I'm looking forward to "The Sun Down Motel" by Simone St. James (I always enjoy the motel setting when it comes to thrillers and the cover also looks great) and "The Holdout" by Graham Moore ("The Sherlockian" was very good, so I'd like to read more from this author).But "Things in Jars" sounds good too, I'm always in for a good Victorian mystery.

They may be connected to Overdrive (by Rakuten), Hoopla, or other free services with 1000s of downloadable audiobooks. It has been a huge help to me.

So the Oona book is just a retelling of the movie 13 going on 30... Originality is dead and we killed it!
