Hey, there! Today’s Booklist has a little something for everyone—historical fiction set on the eve of WWII, a delightfully meta mystery, and riveting true crime. Plus, some hoagie-centric drama in the romance world, and a “Guess the Book” featuring a very opinionated cephalopod. |
🚧 Heads up: we’re giving our emails a refresh! Same great picks, just a more engaging look. During the transition, we might land in your Promotions folder. If that happens, drag us back to your Primary folder so you don’t miss a thing. |

HISTORICAL FICTION SPOTLIGHT |
The Last Woman of Warsaw |
by Judy Batalion |
Illuminating the lives of two very different Jewish women in 1930s Warsaw, Judy Batalion brings the same meticulous research that made The Light of Days a bestseller to her fiction debut. Here, you’ll follow Fanny and Zosia as they’re drawn together by a missing mentor and a city on the brink. |

MYSTERY SPOTLIGHT |
The Ending Writes Itself |
by Evelyn Clarke |
Evelyn Clarke doesn't actually exist—she's the pen name for V. E. Schwab and Cat Clarke writing together, which makes it delightfully meta that their debut is about authors collaborating to finish a novel. Stephen King is already a fan, saying it’s “in the running for the best mystery of 2026 [and] will remind you, in the best way, of Agatha Christie.” |
