Libby Lost and Found (2024)
Stephanie Booth
"When the author of a beloved fantasy series can no longer write, it raises the questions: who needs that fictional world more, the writer or the fans? And what, actually, is real? Stephanie Bloom's writing pops like fireworks as Libby's changing reality crashes into her vibrant, fantastical world. I haven't read a book this full of imagination since The Night Circus."
thumb
The Lion Women of Tehran (2024)
Marjan Kamali
"A moving tale of friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness, unfolding into a deep and powerful exploration of feminist protest in Iran. The contrast between Ellie and Homa's voices is a narrative all of its own, and Homa deserves a place as one of the true heroines of literature."

Long After We Are Gone (2024)
Terah Shelton Harris
"A big, beautiful, devastating, and ultimately hopeful novel."
