It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for a new batch of book releases! Here are a few of the books out today you should add to your TBR. This is a very small percentage of the new releases this week, though, so stick around until the end for some more Book Riot resources for keeping up with new books, including our YouTube channel, where I talk about each of these! The book descriptions listed are the publisher’s, unless otherwise noted. Build Your House Around My Body by Violet Kupersmith Two...

Mixed-Genre Mystery Recommendations was written by Jamie Canaves and originally published in our mystery newsletter, Unusual Suspects. Sign up for it here to get mystery news, reviews, deals, and more!I pretty much read every genre, and since mystery has always been my favorite, I love when they mingle. I’ve found it’s also a great way to expand your reading into other genres and to be able to read the same book with someone who doesn’t necessarily read the genre(s) you love. It’s like a middle ground that lets you explore...

In 2017, I picked up A Writer’s Diary from a small bookstore in London called Persephone Books (now located in Bath). I had no idea at the time what an impact it would have on me. I had read some Virginia Woolf, after all, and knew I enjoyed her work. But when I dug into her journals, Virginia as a woman blossomed into life. She was witty, judgmental, passionate, hard-working. Her illness took a wide desperate toll on her. Her work gave her life. Her friends were wild and their...

BookFest came and went and it was amazing! It was a place in which everyone loved stories and you got to geek out about them both with authors and other readers. I had never gone to an event like this and I left absolutely overwhelmed. You could choose from different panels, and I focused on BookFest adult fiction books. There were so many stories I’d never even heard about.I especially can’t believe the amount of new books on my TBR. Between listening to writers, librarians, and book reviewers rave about...

This list of LGBTQ nonfiction books for Pride month was originally published in our nonfiction newsletter, True Story. Sign up for it here to get nonfiction news, reviews, deals, and more!I feel like a queer elder, which is so weird because I literally only came out ten years ago, but things have changed SO much since then. I feel like I was just hunched over my laptop at 1 a.m. watching the livestream of the marriage equality debates in the Hawaii legislature (which is the sort of hedonistic lifestyle I indulged in...

Romances with protagonists who create aren’t a new thing, but I feel like I’ve been picking up some great ones recently. These are folks who draw, paint, sculpt, or otherwise develop something gorgeous out of nothing (or maybe out of raw materials), and then we get to watch them fall in love! Sometimes, they might even make something beautiful for their beloved(s). There is so much art described in these romance novels, and I just want to see it! What do the blended colors look like? What does the surface...

The Indigenous Voices Awards were started in 2017 to celebrate Indigenous authors in lands claimed by Canada. They originally had a fundraising goal of $10,000, but through campaigns led by Robin Parker and Silvia Moreno-Garcia (the author of Mexican Gothic), they raised over $100,000 in four months. Each year, the prizes and stipends fluctuate based on funds available. This year, they had their highest number of submissions to date and gave away $39,000! Jurors are selected by past executive members of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association, and most are Indigenous....

There are few things I love more than a good fairytale retelling. Stories of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White are such cultural touchpoints that they can be used to create really remarkable and compelling tales, just with the threads of a fairytale twisted around to create something new. Maybe it’s because we’re raised on animated adaptations and picture books that these stories are so ingrained in us, but they really are an indelible feature of storytelling that connects hundreds of stories over hundreds of years. And...
