Two years ago, the Aunt Becky College Admissions Bribery Scandal came to light. Last month, the documentary Operation Varsity Blues was released, and I for one do not have the energy to watch it until my own academic semester is over, but I’m very much looking forward to it. I come from a family of public school teachers, and I myself attended both public and private schools throughout my education. I also worked at a private school with very high-achieving students, though to my knowledge none of the students or...

This is a guest post from Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. She is a theoretical physicist, feminist theorist, and author of The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred, out now from Bold Type Books. You can find her on Twitter @IBJIYONGI. The last year has raised the political consciousness of people across the United States — and the world — who for various reasons had previously not paid much attention to the material conditions that shape the lives of people on the margins of American society, particularly Black...

“Lesbian necromancers in space” is a hell of a way to advertise a book, and Tamsyn Muir followed through on that promise. One of the difficult things about this series is that readers tend to finish the first two books and a) obviously immediately want the not-yet-released third volume and b) want a similar series. Is there really anything quite like this ridiculous, over-the-top, queer sci fi-meets-fantasy series, though? There aren’t any exact matches, but there are some books worth reading next if you loved Gideon the Ninth. Of course,...

This list of yoga poses for reading was originally published as an exclusive for Book Riot Insiders. Sign up for a free two-week trial and join the club! I’ve been a dedicated yoga student for over five years now, as a teacher for close to four. I’m wrapping up my 500-hour certification this month (think of that like graduate school level). While I’m still trying to envision what that’ll look like as an all-digital program and face the fact I won’t get to graduate in person with some of the...

There are so many ways to mark time: by astrological seasons, by books read, by discarded tea bags, by Fridays, by miles walked, by pages written, by semesters, by songs, and on and on. At every calendar year’s end, I obsessively search for the “A Year in Reading” series via The Millions. Two Decembers ago, I read about Grace Talusan’s book-filled 2019. The essay mentions so many wonderful titles, including Good Talk by Mira Jacob and I Was Their American Dream by Malaka Gharib. Plus, something more than books stuck...
