Book Riot Recommends

At Book Riot, I work on the New Books! email, the All the Books! podcast about new releases, and the Book Riot Insiders New Release Index. I am very fortunate to get to read a lot of upcoming titles, and learn about a lot of upcoming titles, and I’m delighted to share a couple with you each week so you can add them to your TBR! (It will now be books I loved on Mondays and books I’m excited to read on Thursdays. YAY, BOOKS!)

Loved, loved, loved:

Meet Me in Another Life by Catriona Silvey (William Morrow, April 27)

Holy cats! I thought I had already talked about this book in this newsletter, but it turns out I was wrong, and now I am sad I have been keeping it from you for so long, because it’s so freaking good! Fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife—this is the book you have been waiting for!

There’s a lot I can’t tell you about this book without ruining it, so I’m going to try and give you a brief summary using non-spoilery things that you can also learn from the jacket copy. If you want to jump in without learning anything, this is where you get off the train.

Okay, the rest of you, meet Thora and Santi. They are two strangers who meet in a foreign city, and really hit it off. Sadly, something is going to happen to one of them shortly after. But fear not, because they’re going to meet again in the next life. And the next, and the next, and the next… Over the years, Thora and Santi are reunited in new lives, with new roles. And over their lifetimes, they are girlfriend/boyfriend, father/daughter, doctor/patient, teacher/student, etc. And with each new life, they begin to remember a little bit more about their past lives. How many lives will they have to live to get the answers to why the universe keeps them together?

This is such a luxurious, immersive read. I loved the premise, I loved the reveals, and I loved Thora and Santi, especially all their different roles in their new reincarnations. Meet Me in Another Life is a beautiful story of life, death, family, friendship, love, and beliefs. And it asks the question: can anyone ever really know someone else completely? Mark this one down now, kittens, it’s going to be HUGE.

(Content warnings for discussions of illness, death, car accidents, drowning, fire, physical violence, murder, chemical use, and animal cruelty.)

What I’m reading this week.

Caul Baby by Morgan Jerkins

Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters

The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr.

The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe

Pun of the week:

I don’t trust stairs. They’re always up to something.

And this is funny:

I love that people have this much time on their hands.

Happy things:

Here are a few things I enjoy that I thought you might like as well:

The Good Place: I rewatched the whole series last week and this hilarious, weird, heartsqueezing show was exactly the balm I needed for my soul.
Jigsaw puzzles! Still on a HUGE puzzle kick. Several of you have asked how I do puzzles with destructive felines in the house, and the answer is: very carefully. I only do 500-piece puzzles, because I cannot leave them unattended or the cats will destroy them. So once I start a puzzle, I am committed to finishing it.
Shudder, the streaming service for horror, thriller, and suspense genres. I treated myself to a subscription as my Christmas present and it’s amazing. First movie I watched? The Lost Boys.

Numberzilla. Still not tired of this game.
Purrli: This website makes the relaxing sounds of a cat purring.

And here’s a cat picture!

Yes, these are pictures of Zevon captured mid-yawn, but I like to think he’s laughing.

Trivia answer: Five.

Remember that whatever you are doing or watching or reading this week, I am sending you EXTRA love and hugs. Please be safe, and be mindful of others. It takes no effort to be kind. I’ll see you again on Thursday. – xoxo, Liberty

Kissing Books

Ring in the New Year With Some Second Chance Romances

Post author By P.N. Hinton
Post date January 4, 2021

Sponsored by Teddy Spenser Isn’t Looking for Love by Kim Fielding.

“A fizzy, fun, and full-of heart romcom.” —Booklist Teddy Spenser spends his days selling design ideas to higher-ups. Stodgy engineer types like Romeo Blue, his nemesis—if you can call someone who barely talks to you a nemesis—are a necessary evil. A cute necessary evil. But when their boss puts them both on a new high-stakes project, “working together” suddenly means: sitting uncomfortably close on the same plane, staying in the same hotel room—with only one bed—and spending every waking minute together.

Hello hello! I’m PN Hinton, your eager, new purveyor of all things romance. I’m excited to be here. I know I have very big shoes to fill, but I’m ready to take on this challenge. And by challenge, I also mean 2021. I’m sure we are all eager to leave the dumpster fire of 2020 in the rear view mirror of our cars as we speed towards the horizon of the new year.

The start of a new year is also special to me because my anniversary is the day after. So I decided to kick my first newsletter off with some backlist recommendations. There are tons of books that focus on falling in love for the first time. And, while there are many second chance romances regardless of couple status, they don’t always get as much recognition. I’m hoping to rectify that here.

And without further ado, here are some second-chance romances for your consideration!

Destiny’s Surrender by Beverly Jenkins

The second in the Destiny trilogy from the divine Mrs. Bev. Andrew has decided to start a family and begins looking for a candidate for the role. Then Billie shows up at his doorstep with his son, ready to leave the baby with him and a ‘better’ life. Instead the one-time lovers find themselves married and full-time parents to the boy.

The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

Gavin and Thea are a seemingly happily married couple until one night when Gavin discovers that his wife has never had the Big O with him. Embarrassed and enraged, he loses his temper at this, which prompts Thea to ask for a divorce. With the help of a secret book club made up of alpha men and some genuine self-reflection and work, Gavin works to make sure his marriage has a happy ending.

Once Upon a Marquess by Courtney Milan

Judith has vowed never to forgive Christian after he ruined her father and tore her family apart. After years of being shunned by polite society, Christian returns needing assistance on something that only Judith can help with. The bitterness and betrayal runs deep for Judith and, although Christian regrets causing it, he knows that he did the right thing all those years ago. This won’t stop him from trying to convince her that they are made for each other and can move ahead from the past hurts.

The Day of the Duchess by Sarah MacLean

Due to a misunderstanding in their past, compounded by an act of infidelity, Malcolm and Seraphina have lived apart from one another for three years. One day, Seraphina shows up and demands a divorce, which Malcolm promises to give her, provided she can find a new wife for him. What follows is a mixture of hijinks, long-awaited apologies, and forgiveness. On a personal note, I was surprised that I enjoyed this one. Normally, infidelity is a hard pass and complete deal-breaker for me. MacLean handled this difficult topic well and this is arguably my favorite in this specific series of hers, as a result.

Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai

Ever since a betrayal that broke their family’s friendship and their relationship, Livvy and Nicholas have allowed themselves one night of pleasure each year. Just one night to forget past hurts and enjoy the carnal company of one another. Until one year, when Livvy doesn’t show up, and Nicholas decides he wants more than what they have given themselves for the last few years.

Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey

Rosie and Dominic are a married couple stuck in a rut. With her friend’s encouragement, Rosie demands that Dom join her for ‘marriage boot camp’, which he agrees to, much to Rosie’s surprise. During the course of the camp, the couple begins work on getting their marriage back on track until a secret Dom has been holding onto threatens to break the newly laid foundation of their relationship.

Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole

Likotsi is shocked to find herself face to face with Fabiola when she returns to New York for a vacation. After a week of a whirlwind romance, the latter woman ghosted the former completely. Fabiola convinces Likotsi to meet for tea and food, leading them to explore the city together. Throughout their journey, Fabiola reveals what really happened and why she ended things the way she did and both women wonder if this is their second chance at true love.

What's Up in YA

📚 📚 Your Favorite YA Authors on 2021 Debut YA To Read

Post author By Kelly Jensen
Post date January 4, 2021

Sponsored by the Faraway Collection, from Amazon Original Stories

Once upon a time is now. From bestselling authors Rainbow Rowell, Nic Stone, Soman Chainani, Ken Liu, and Gayle Forman come five short twists on classic fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again. Prime members read and listen to the Faraway collection for free.

Happy 2021, YA Readers!

To launch the new year right, I thought it would be fun to ask some of your favorite seasoned YA authors (aka: they’ve published a book before) to highlight some debut YA books that they’re super excited about in 2021. Each of the seasoned authors has a new book hitting shelves this year, which you’ll also get to explore after their recommendation.

It’s so hard to be a first-time author, as you’re starting without anything to showcase your skills and voice. This is even more true during a pandemic, where all of the potential places for getting the word out there are far more limited than in the past.

But as you’ll see: we’re in for an incredible year in YA debuts, as well as YA from beloved voices already writing young adult lit.

Between Perfect and Real by Ray Stoeve (April 13)

Ever since I heard about Ray Stoeve’s debut, Between Perfect and Real, I’ve been dying to read it. I’m a sucker for stories set in the theater, so Ray’s story about a transgender guy using theater to find his place ticks all the boxes for me. Between Perfect and Real looks funny and thoughtful, and I’m here for it. — Shaun David Hutchinson, whose A Complicated Love Story Set In Space hits shelves January 19.

A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth

The moment I saw the cover for Ashley Shuttleworth’s A Dark And Hollow Star, it immediately landed at the top of my to-buy list. I mean, those wings, am I right? This dark, urban fantasy has all the elements I’ve been craving in YA: a group of queer teens, secret fae Courts and immortal realms, and a murder mystery. A Dark and Hollow Star fills the dearth of queer representation in the deep catalogue that is YA books about the fae. As a queer teen, I deeply identified with these stories, yet more often than not queer characters remain on the sidelines. Here they are the heroes at the story’s heart and I cannot wait to dive in. — Amanda Joy, whose A Queen of Gilded Horns (second in a duology!) hits shelves March 16.

Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant (January 5)

There is very little I love more than a romantic comedy with a Black girl at the center, so I was sold on the pitch for Happily Ever Afters before I’d even finished reading the description. Reserved Tessa doesn’t see herself in the romances she loves, so she writes her own. But in order to write, she has to find some inspiration (in the form of a swoon-worthy new boy, Nico) through her romance novel checklist. This book is exactly the type of heartwarming, uplifting content we need more of in the world right now. — Leah Johnson, whose Rise To The Sun hits shelves July 6.

Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee (May 4)

The debut I’m most excited about is Emery Lee’s MEET CUTE DIARY–first of all, talk about a hooky title and concept. I’m immediately into it. And then you get to the actual book: after Noah’s blog about Trans happily-ever-afters is exposed as fiction, he agrees to start fake dating Drew to save the blog. There’s PINING, y’all! This is one meet cute you do not want to miss. — Tess Sharpe, whose mystery/thriller The Girls I’ve Been hits shelves January 26.

Prepped by Bethany Mangle (February 23)

You would think after living through the great COVID toilet paper shortage of 2020 that I’d have no interest in reading a book about people hoarding food for the end of the world … but you’d be wrong. Doomsday preppers fascinate me, so I can’t WAIT to read Bethany Mangle’s PREPPED. I love a messy family story, and the romance subplot sounds spot-on. February 23, 2021 can’t come fast enough! — Lauren Morrill, whose next book It’s Kind of a Cheesy Love Story hits shelves March 9.

Reset by Sarina Dahlan (May 25)

Reset by Sarina Dahlan crossed my radar and this post apocalyptic sci-fi sounds incredible! Pitched as Brave New World meets The Vow, Reset is set in a self-sustaining utopia where all memories are wiped every four years in the hopes of preventing prejudice and war. When Aris, a scientist who shuns love, meets Benja, a free-spirited warrior who is certain his dreams of a past lover are actually memories, her world is turned upside down, and I cannot wait to find out what happens. — Heidi Heilig, whose On This Unworthy Scaffold hits shelves March 9 (it’s the conclusion to her “Shadow Players” trilogy!).

May your TBR be ever-growing!

See you later this week for YA book news and new YA book releases. In the meantime, happy reading.

— Kelly Jensen, who is looking forward to Not Here To Be Liked by Michelle Quach, a book about a girl who, despite being supremely qualified to be editor-in-chief of her school’s paper, loses out to a less-talented male peer and begins a feminist revolution in her school. Out in September!

Read This Book: MONDAY MORNINGS by Sanjay Gupta, MD

Post author By Katisha Smith
Post date January 4, 2021

Sponsored by The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict.

December 1926: England unleashes the largest manhunt in its history. The object of the search is not an escaped convict or a war criminal, but the missing wife of a WWI hero, up-and-coming mystery author Agatha Christie. When her car is found wrecked, empty, and abandoned near a natural spring, the country is in a frenzy. Eleven days later, Agatha reappears, claiming amnesia. She provides no answers for her disappearance. Was Christie’s greatest mystery one that involved her own disappearance?

Welcome to Read This Book, the newsletter where I recommend a book you should add to your TBR, STAT! I stan variety in all things, and my book recommendations will be no exception. These must-read books will span genres and age groups. There will be new releases, oldie but goldies from the backlist, and the classics you may have missed in high school. Oh my! If you’re ready to diversify your books, then LEGGO!!

Welcome to the first Monday of 2021! Today is officially known as TGIM. Thank God It’s Monday Day encourages us to celebrate the first Monday of the new year with enthusiasm and vigor with the hope that the TGIM spirit will continue through the rest of our Mondays. It’s time to stop dreading Mondays and embrace the new beginnings they represent. For the doctors of Chelsea General, Mondays are the chance to learn from previous mistakes and become better healers.

Monday Mornings by Sanjay Gupta, MD

Each time a surgeon operates, they are betting on their operating skills, but sometimes they are wrong. When the surgeons at Chelsea General Hospital bet wrong, they must confront their failings in the operating room in front of their peers on Monday morning at the Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference. These meetings provide a rare opportunity for reflection and introspection. If they’re lucky, on Monday mornings, these doctors have a chance at redemption.

Although Monday Mornings wouldn’t be considered award-winning material, I found the story engaging despite the clichés, typos, and seemingly dated references. Who is even using Mapquest in 2012?! For me, it was easy to forgive such faux pas because I was interested in both the medicine and the drama unfolding before my eyes.

This is a straightforward story about the lives of these top-notch doctors at Chelsea General from Dr. Jorge Villanueva, the ex-football player turned ER doctor, and Dr. Tyler Wilson, the rock star surgeon who seems to have lost his mojo to Dr. Sung Park, the neurosurgeon who had to restart his medical training when he emigrated to the United States from Korea, and Dr. Michelle Robidaux who is a first-generation college graduate currently struggling as a resident.

Coming from the mind of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, yes that Sanjay Gupta, Monday Mornings is a story that reads like an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and ER rolled into one, which is probably why it became a beloved, but short-lived TNT drama. If you need a dose of doctor drama while waiting for your favorite shows to return, then pick up Monday Mornings, STAT!

Until next time bookish friends,

Katisha

Happy Birthday, Frankenstein!

The Best Frankenstein Editions for a Reread

Frankenstein, the Second Norton Critical Edition

This is my favorite edition of Frankenstein. I mean I’m unapologetically obsessed with Norton Critical Editions anyway because they’re like buying the special edition of a book and having it come with all the bonus features. There are actually more pages of critical and contemporary content in this edition than there are pages in Frankenstein itself! Norton editions tend to be more expensive, but are always worth it.

Penguin Horror Edition of Frankenstein

If you want something a little less academic, but still beautiful and possessing a little something extra, consider this hardcover edition of Frankenstein. It’s one of a collection of horror novels that Penguin curated and released as deluxe hardcovers back in 2013, each of them containing both the collection forward by horror film genius Guillermo Del Toro and a text introduction by a well-known literary personage. The intro for Frankenstein is written by Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian.

The New Annotated Frankenstein ed. by Leslie Klinger

This edition for Frankenstein is for if you really want to nerd out. I have the annotated Dracula from this series (also from Norton, this is now a W.W. Norton appreciation newsletter, apparently) and let me tell you these hefty, beautiful editions are chock full of marginalia to make sure that you get the most out of every possible detail of the novel.

Ethereal Visions’ Illuminated Frankenstein

This is the most expansive edition on the list, but also the most beautiful. For the art lover, or the Frankenstein devotee, Ethereal Visions’ Illuminated Frankenstein is breathtaking. Really. Do yourself a favor, click through to their product page, and feast your eyes on some of the devastatingly gorgeous illustrations that bring Shelley’s novel to vivid life.

Frankenstein Adaptations in Film and on the Page

Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi

This modern retelling of Frankenstein, set in U.S.-occupied Baghdad, is about a man sewing together body parts to make a single corpse. A corpse that then disappears. Then a string of murders across the city is accompanied by rumors of a hideous, bullet-proof creature. Hadi, who was only stitching body parts together into corpses to force the government to recognize them as people and give them a decent burial, realizes that he has, in fact, created a person. A monster that feeds on human flesh.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)

Hands down the best film adaptation of Frankenstein out there I swear on the grave fight me. Fight me. Okay don’t fight me. But listen. Every film adaptation of Frankenstein, much like any film adaptation of a novel, takes liberties with its source text. What Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein manages to do, even though it’s excessively (sometimes absurdly) dramatic and at times guilty of questionable costuming choices, is capture the spirit of the novel.

A Complex Accident of Life by Elizabeth McHugh

Elizabeth McHugh’s collection of blackout poetry and visual art may be small, but it is powerful. Using the text of Frankenstein itself McHugh has crafted 52 pieces of stunning blackout poetry that stand as both a tribute to and a deconstruction of Mary Shelley’s original novel. If you’re a fan of poetry, Frankenstein, or both, I highly highly recommend this recent release. It’s a love letter to its source text.

The Royal Ballet’s Frankenstein

Really, Jessica. A Ballet? Yes. Because 1) It’s so beautiful that it actually causes me physical pain, and 2) in this newsletter we respect all the incredible ways that works of horror make their way into the world. Staring Royal Ballet principals Federico Bonelli, Laura Morera and Steven McRae, choreographer Liam Scarlett’s ballet adaptation of Frankenstein (which debuted as part of the company’s 2016/17 season) is a dark and breathtaking. Even if you’re not a ballet fan you should at least watch the clips that the Royal Ballet uploaded to their Youtube channel and see for yourself. Lowell Liebermann’s score is beyond gorgeous.

As always, you can catch me on twitter at @JtheBookworm, where I try to keep up on all that’s new and frightening.

Empowering Picture Books

Post author By Karina Glaser
Post date January 3, 2021

I Am Enough by Grace Byers, illustrated by Keturah A. Bobo

This gorgeous picture book is a story of empowerment and affirmations written by actress and activist Grace Byers. As a biracial CODA (Child Of Deaf Adults), Grace was bullied throughout her childhood. This led her to write her first picture book to empower young girls to believing in themselves and being kind to others. I love the illustrations in this book!

I Am Every Good Thing by Derrick Barnes and Gordon C. James

From the duo that brought us Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, I Am Every Good Thing is about a confident Black narrator who is proud of himself and loves who he is. He deals with frustrations by never giving up and is adventurous, funny, and has big dreams. A must have book for every child (and adult!).

Dear Girl: A Celebration of Wonderful, Smart, Beautiful You! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Paris Rosenthal, illustrated by Holly Hatam

This book makes me cry every time I read it. The story is all about reminding readers to honor themselves and their emotions, empowering girls to be strong, courageous, and bold. And if this book doesn’t make you cry, read this article written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, You May Want to Marry My Husband, published in the New York Times on March 5, 2017.

All Because You Matter by Tami Charles, illustrated by Bryan Collier

I am a fan of every picture book that Bryan Collier illustrates, and All Because You Matter is no exception. The powerful words affirm to children everywhere that they matter in every stage of life, from their birth to first steps to growing up and becoming a teenager. Even in the midst of current events and the tragedies in our history, this book tells us that we matter in this moment.

Babymoon by Hayley Barrett, illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal

In this lush book, a couple celebrates the arrival fo their baby. Before the world meets the new one, the family is on their babymoon, oohing and aahing over the newborn’s features and learning new things about this baby as they become a family. This is a lovely book to share with young readers to remind them of the joy at their arrival into the world.
