It’s our favorite day of the week once again! It’s always awesome to help our book friends celebrate their book birthdays, and this week’s has a varied mix that you won’t want to miss.

From twisty family mysteries to silly fruittime fun, from a real-life labor heroine to a spider with her gaze on the stars, these are the books we’re excited to welcome to the world today!
