Read along with us this month! For November, we are reading YESTERYEAR by Caro Claire Burke, our WILD CARD pick and the centerpiece of our annual Booksgiving celebration!

We're shaking things up with this darkly funny, thought-provoking novel about social media, tradition, motherhood, fame, faith—and what might happen if you actually had to live the ""traditional"" lifestyle you sell to millions of followers.

About the book:

Natalie Heller Mills has built an empire around being perfect. To her millions of followers, she's living the dream: a beautiful farmhouse, a handsome cowboy husband, six charming children, homemade food, and an idyllic traditional lifestyle.

Behind the carefully curated images, however, there are nannies, producers, and plenty of secrets.

Then Natalie wakes up in 1855.

Suddenly, her familiar home and family have become something much darker and more brutal. There is no electricity, no Instagram, and no easy escape. Is this an elaborate hoax? A twisted reality show? Time travel? Or something even more sinister?

Yesteryear is a gripping, darkly funny satire and a wild ride through tradition, fame, faith, and the performance of womanhood. It asks a fascinating question: What happens when the fantasy you've been selling becomes your reality?"
