Riot Recommendations
At Book Riot, I’m a cohost with Liberty on All the Books!, plus I write a handful of newsletters including the weekly Read This Book newsletter, cohost the Insiders Read Harder podcast, and write content for the site. I’m always drowning in books, so here’s what’s on my radar this week!
Want to read: Furia by Yamile Saied Mendez
Look for this book hitting shelves next month! It’s Mendez’s YA debut, and it follows an Argentinian teen named Camila, who is a dutiful daughter at home, but a force to be reckoned with on the soccer field. She doesn’t tell her family that she plays, because they’d never approve, but when she gets the chance to qualify for an important tournament with her team, which might even lead to a North American college scholarship, Camila is torn between family loyalty and her own dreams and ambitions.
On my radar this week:
Smash It! by Francina Simone
Body Talk edited by Book Riot’s own Kelly Jensen!

Trivia answer: Only 50!
