I see Artscroll is running a sale 20% off and they also have 4 amazing book boxes for $89 each. I ordered the kids book box, I have lots of books that are included in the other boxes so I didnā€™t order any of those but itā€™s a great value!
I ordered for myself ā€˜angels in Orangeā€™ stories of hatzola during Oct 7

The final book of the Trepid Trilogy just came out. Jewish science fiction. I plan to buy it for Pesach! I think it will especially appeal to teen boys.

Lots of followers so hope we get more answers.
The box looked like a good deal but really not . Need more novel options . Also Iā€™d rather pick my own book.
Plz keep the ideas coming

Mazaltob by Blanche Bendahan. Not frum. Possibly the first feminist Sephardic book. 30's and finally translated. Hoping it won't be like Rashi daughters.

If you like Yiddish or languages Yinglish Yankee.
Non fiction

I didn't find much fiction this year, other than Trepid.

Yeah.
In general I was very unimpressed by what was available in the bookstores, both now and Chanuka time.

FrumBooks ( https://frumbooks.substack.com/)
has a newsletter put out every couple weeks, she has release roundups every season, reviews on new Frum releases (all age groups and genres).
Check out her reviews Sukkos and Chanuka time, those will probably be super helpful for you!

I have also been looking for books all year and could not find. Over the past few years I have read excellent medical type stories, all translated from Hebrew. One is called ā€œIce Cubesā€ about a girl who needs a kidney transplant (author something like Shalovitsky but spelled funny). One was by Devori Rand about a girl with diabetes. And one was sad but inspiring - Petals and Thorns about Esther Klein who has ALS. I thought that these were striking and not often written in such depth in America, even for secular books. I also read a non- Frum book about a girl who overcame polio (Small Steps by Peg Kehret) and it was really good. (Iā€™m not a doctor but these stories are inspiring in that people rise to the challenge of their lives). Also non- Frum but clean is a book about North Korea called ā€œThe Girl with Seven Namesā€ and books like ā€œNickel and Dimedā€, ā€œOn the Clockā€ and ā€œNomadlandā€ which shows us how much we have to be grateful for just living a normal life every day Bā€H with food and lodgings.

Agreed, there are the thriller types but nothing for adults that prefer soemthing a little more realistic.
