The Sun and All the Other Stars by Karla Montalván
Her past lives hold the truth. Her curse holds the key. Love is the price either way.
Marisol Varela, a Cuban American muralist living in present-day Madrid, isn’t just dealing with a failed engagement, she is confronting a generational curse that has doomed every woman in her family to a life devoid of lasting love. Desperate to break the pattern, Mar dives headfirst into past life regression therapy, determined to uncover the root of her lineage’s heartbreak.
Transported across centuries, Marisol relives three tumultuous lives as a rebellious female painter in 1482 Florence, a shrewd prostitute entangled in espionage during the final years of the Spanish Inquisition in 1808 Madrid, and a resilient gay man navigating the precarious waters of the 1980s SoHo AIDS epidemic. No matter the era, fate’s cruel hand always snatches away true love.
Amid the upheaval of her incarnations, one figure appears again and again, Dario, an enigmatic Italian poet whose magnetic presence seems to transcend time itself. As their fates intertwine across centuries, Marisol must confront the weight of her family’s curse, along with the possibility that true, timeless love may not be what she always imagined.
Published in English and Spanish, this genre-blending novel explores immigration, gender, queerness, and art as survival, offering an emotionally resonant, book club–ready story. An Elizabeth & Minnie Publication.
The Rules of Fortune by Danielle Prescod
Tanya Time Book Club Fall 2025
On their Martha’s Vineyard estate, the Carter family prepares to celebrate. But when the billionaire patriarch dies right before his seventieth birthday, the media is quick to question the future of the multi-industry conglomerate that makes the Carters living legends. Amid the succession crisis, his daughter, Kennedy, is questioning her father’s past.
Kennedy is an aspiring filmmaker, and the documentary she’d planned to present at her father’s party begins an inquest into the life of a man she never really knew. A thoughtful outlier in an elite and fiercely guarded dynasty, she’s not interested in keeping up the appearances that define her impeccably poised mother or in the capitalist games her ruthless brother plays. Kennedy wants only to understand the origins of their empire, and the lethally ambitious man behind it. That understanding comes at a cost.

Her life. Her rules. Finally.
Anuri Chinasa has had enough. And really, who can blame her? She was the unwilling star of her stepmother’s social media empire before “momfluencers” were even a thing. For years, Ophelia documented every birthday, every skinned knee, every milestone and meltdown for millions of strangers to fawn over and pick apart.
Now, at twenty-five, Anuri is desperate to put her way-too-public past behind her and start living on her own terms. And with Noelle, Anuri’s five-year-old half sister now being forced down the same path, Anuri discovers she has a new mission in life…
Still Ophelia is never far away and has made it clear she won’t go down without a fight. Through biting wit and heartfelt introspection, this darkly humorous story dives deep into the deceptive allure of a picture-perfect existence, the overexposure of children in social media and the excitement of self-discovery.
Sky Full of Elephants by Cebo Campbell

In a world without white people, what does it mean to be Black?
One day, a cataclysmic event occurs: all of the white people in America walk into the nearest body of water. A year later, Charlie Brunton is a Black man living in an entirely new world. Having served time in prison for a wrongful conviction, he’s now a professor of electric and solar power systems at Howard University when he receives a call from someone he wasn’t even sure existed: his daughter Sidney, a nineteen-year-old left behind by her white mother and step-family.
Traumatized by the event, and terrified of the outside world, Sidney has spent a year in isolation in Wisconsin. Desperate for help, she turns to the father she never met, a man she has always resented. Sidney and Charlie meet for the first time as they embark on a journey across a truly “post-racial” America in search for answers. But neither of them are prepared for this new world and how they see themselves in it. Brimming with heart and humor, Cebo Campbell’s astonishing debut novel is about the power of community and connection, about healing and self-actualization, and a reckoning with what it means to be Black in America, in both their world and ours.
