Why Jackie loves it
This debut novel is wonderful, and I cannot wait to see what comes next. There are so many themes in this book about love, loss, and family. This is a powerful love story that is not only about the love between lovers, but also about love for family- flaws and all. I will be thinking about this book for years to come.

Little Wonder
Author: Sophie Chen Keller
Release Date: June 16, 2026
Genre: Fiction
More info: June 2026 Oprah Book Club Pick
Age Range: 16+
Plot
Jenna Bush Hager’s Thousand Voices Imprint has its second celebrity book club pick with Little Wonder. Song delivers food in China and feels like a nobody while her son, River, is a musical genius. He started playing intricate pieces as a toddler, so it’s no surprise that he is offered a chance to study at an elite school when he was just 11. On his way to that school at a busy train station, River’s hand slips out of Song’s, and they are separated.
The story is their journey back to one another over many years. A mother with no money is searching for a child who is at a loss for how to find his mother.
Trigger Warnings
Poverty, loss of a child
Why Jackie likes it
This is an extremely powerful and poignant story that left me in tears. It is astounding to me that this is not a work of historical fiction but rather a work of contemporary fiction. The story is entirely plausible, which is what makes it even scarier.

Liar’s Dice
Author: Juliet Faithful
Year: 2026
Genre: Historical Fiction
More info: August 2026 Beyond the Bookends Book Club Pick
Spice Rating:💋💋
Age Range: 18+
Plot
Set in Brazil in the 70s, this thought-provoking novel showcases how far 13-year-old Dolores will go to be united with her disabled twin sister, Mita. Told in multiple timelines, Dolores looks back at how Mita came to have cerebral palsy and ultimately why she was removed from her home. Simultaneously, Dolores’s quest to be reunited with Mita while navigating her parents’ complicated marriage and trying to acclimate to The British School, to which she was transferred following her father’s recent promotion.
Trigger Warnings
Ableism, Transphobia
Why Kirsten loves it
Unable to read or write at the beginning, Dolores’s narrative is unlike that of other child protagonists. Being inside her head was marvelous, as I could see exactly why she was reacting the way she was, and I could infer more of the context she was missing because I’m reading it as an adult.
The fact that this was a debut was astounding. The setting was lush, the prose was incredible, and Dolores was so vividly made alive that I felt I was her at points while reading. Additionally, the secondary characters and storylines were as fleshed out as Dolores and Mita’s stories, with topics like class, the impacts of parenting a chronically ill child, transphobia, and self-harm all examined at various parts of the story. I’ll be thinking of this story for years to come. #gifted by PRH Audio

The Best Romance Thousand Voices Books
Into the Blue
Author: Emma Brodie
Year: 2026
Genre: Romance
More info: April 2026 Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick
Spice Rating:💋💋💋💋
Age Range: 18+
Plot
This is the first novel of Jenna Bush Hager’s imprint to be a book club pick – and it was chosen by Reese, not Jenna! This love story spans decades as two summer friends work as acting partners to make it into Hollywood or the SNL scene. Noah, scion of Hollywood royalty, and AJ’s friendship forms over their shared ambition until Noah disappears.
When, years later, AJ is cast to be on Noah’s space-themed TV series, they reconnect. But as their characters grow close, so do they until fiction blurs with reality.
Trigger Warnings
Chronic Illness, Alcoholism
Why Kirsten loves it
I loved this book – I didn’t want it to end, which is saying something because she’s a clonker! This book is so much more than a romance; it’s a book club-worthy novel that looks at first love, sexism in Hollywood, complicated family dynamics, legacy, and chronic illness. This is a true MUST-READ story worthy of everyone’s attention.
I can’t go into much detail without ruining the story, but AJ and Noah’s connection absolutely sizzled. I felt like they were friends of mine as I watched them grow up, grow close, drift apart, and come back together time and again. I’ll be thinking of this one for ages. #gifted by PRH Audio
