Acclaimed author Richard Wright’s rediscovered novel The Man Who Lived Underground has been optioned by Paramount in a seven figure deal. The novel’s manuscript was discovered by Wright’s daughter Julia Wright. When Wright originally wrote the novel, publishers were reluctant to publish a story about a Black man who was arrested and beaten into a confession for a crime he didn’t commit. They thought it was “too dark, too gritty.” Now, the story is being prepped for a screen adaptation. Producers Kenya Barris (Black-ish) and Khalabo Ink Society, along with Hyde Park Entertainment, and Ashok Armitraj, are attached to work on the project.
Murfreesboro teenager Zee Taylor is the winner of a national LGBTQ literature contest from the Hope In A Box / Born This Way Foundation. Her entry? An encouraging letter to her younger self about growing up as a queer kid. The contest received entries from over 70 students around the country from grades K-12. They included essays and videos about how LGBTQ literature has affected them. Sixteen-year-old Taylor wrote about The Miseducation of Cameron Post, Symptoms of Being Human, and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. “If only I could tell you what Cameron Post will teach you in a few years, when bad things happen, it does not mean the end,” Taylor writes to herself in her letter. Her prize for winning the contest is $500 cash, and her essay is featured on ChannelKindness.org.
Anne Hathaway is set to star in Amazon Studios and Welle Entertainment’s upcoming adaptation of Robinne Lee’s popular romance novel The Idea of You. Jennifer Westfeldt (Friends with Kids) will write the screenplay, with Cathy Schulman and Gabrielle Union producing. Lee’s 2017 novel is the story of Sophie, who will be played by Hathaway. Sophie is a 40-year-old divorced mother who is recovering from her husband leaving her for a younger woman. After he cancels his Coachella trip with their 15-year-old daughter, Sophie agrees to take her instead. There, she meets the charismatic lead singer of the most popular boy band in the world. She instantly finds that she has a connection with this younger man, and they embark on a romance that changes Sophie’s life. The role of the lead singer has not yet been cast.

Mischief and her side-cat Mayhem are your respectably heinous villains. They’ll spoil new movies, steal cake from parties they weren’t invited to, and hit the good citizens where it’ll dirty them most—their toilet paper. But before they were supervillains, they were just Missy and Gizmo, fresh recruits at superhero boot camp. Except Missy lied on her hero application and has exactly zero superpowers, just her brainpower. Humiliated when caught, only one fellow recruit is willing to stand by her—Melvira. But unbeknownst to others, Melvira has her own villainous agenda. Can Missy face the friend who was once her defender?
Hi Kid Lit Friends,
Hello from New York City, where it is incredibly hot and humid. I hope the weather is better wherever you are and that you are enjoying the beginning of summer! For today’s newsletter topic, I thought I would gather some children’s book trilogies for you. I love a good trilogy!
Recently, Marla Frazee released the third and final book in a picture book series that began with The Farmer and the Clown. These wordless picture books are gorgeous and filled with heart and humor. The first book was published in 2014, so I imagine Marla has been working on these books in some way or another over the past decade. I love thinking of her sitting in her studio and tinkering with sketches of these indomitable characters. The final book in the series, The Farmer and the Circus, is just as wonderful as the first, full of humor and heartwarming moments. The complete series order is: The Farmer and the Clown, The Farmer and the Monkey, and The Farmer and the Circus.
Another fantastic wordless picture book trilogy is by Aaron Becker. His illustrations are so luminous that the illustrations appear to glow from the page. In these books, children find portals to worlds filled with kings and adventure and sinister emperors. Each book stands alone yet are connected to each other in style and story. The complete series order is: Journey, Quest, and Return.
Another trilogy I love is Grace Lin’s fantasy middle grade series that began with Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. These gorgeous and lyrical books are linked together in surprising ways, crossing generations and using Chinese folklore to tell a beautiful story of family and bravery. The complete series order is: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, Starry River of the Sky, and When the Sea Turned to Silver.
As you probably know, I am a huge fan of Rita Williams-Garcia, and her middle grade series about the Gaither sisters is both fun and thought-provoking. In the first book, 11-year-old Delphine and her younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern, visit their kin during a time when the nation is rapidly changing. The complete series order is: One Crazy Summer, P.S. Be Eleven; and Gone Crazy in Alabama.
For upper middle grade readers, The March series by the late John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell is a fantastic graphic novel trilogy about John Lewis’s life during the Civil Rights movement. The books are a wonderful opportunity to see history through the eyes of someone who was there on the front lines. The series as a whole is called March, and each book is numbered.

Book Riot is teaming up with Open Book to giveaway a summer reading prize pack which includes $100 giftcard to Bookshop.org Here’s a little more about the Open Book newsletter: We created Open Book to amplify BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other traditionally underrepresented voices in the publishing world. We ask writers to be open books about their lives, work, process, inspiration, and interests to help readers get to know new voices with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and ideas that shape our society.
Hey there horror fans, I’m Jessica Avery and I’ll be delivering your weekly brief of all that’s ghastly and grim in the world of Horror. Whether you’re looking for a backlist book that will give you the willies, a terrifying new release, or the latest in horror community news, you’ll find it here in The Fright Stuff.
I can’t believe the year is moving so fast, but here it is just about the end of June and once again my favorite day of the month: it’s new releases day! Normally I try to run the new releases newsletter the first Monday of the month but on the 5th this year we’re observing a holiday here in the states, which means no Fright Stuff. So I thought we’d kick this mid-summer must read list off a little early!
If you’ve been keeping track of forthcoming releases for 2021, you are probably aware that these next few months in the run down to the end of the year are absolutely jammed with amazing horror titles. So many that my book budget is screaming under the strain, but I’ve been waiting an age for these titles to drop so sorry in advance to my wallet. Because these books are just too good to miss!
By now everyone probably knows that I have a slight obsession with space horror. (It’s not slight.) So of course I’ve been counting the days until Nguyen’s We Have Always Been Here is released. Dr. Grace Park is a psychologist stationed on the survey ship Deucalion, bound for the distant planet of Eos on a colonization mission. There are thirteen crew members, not including herself, all highly trained and educated specialists, all part of a team meant to assess Eos’ potential for colonization. But Dr. Park might not have been the best choice for this mission. She’s the opposite of a people person, and prefers the company of the ship’s androids to that of her fellow human crew members, whereas the other humans can’t stand the androids and certainly don’t trust them. As you might expect, things start to deteriorate rapidly once the survey ship reaches Eos, stranding the ships occupants in a massive radiation storm amidst a sudden epidemic of paranoia and waking nightmares. After all, when is a simple colonization mission ever really a simple colonization mission?
Also, for the record, that cover is giving me terrifying Dr. Who Diamond Planet flashbacks. UPSETTING.
I had the chance to read The Final Girl Support Group ahead of its release, and it is absolutely fantastic. Seriously, it hits all those slasher fan sweet spots while still managing a serious critique of the subgenre and its place in the modern world. I can’t wait to get my hands on a hard copy just so I can read it in a new medium. We all know who the final girl is, most horror fans can name at least a handful without really having to think about it. She’s the one who survives. She’s the one who fights back. She’s every horror villain’s worst nightmare because her life spells their death. But what happens when the credits roll and the monster IS dead, but the final girl is still left standing? Lynnette is one of a group of former final girls who, years later, are just trying to put their lives back together. Until one by one, someone starts picking them off.
True I just featured this book a couple of weeks ago on one of my pride month lists, but with it’s release date right around the corner I just had to shine the spotlight once again on what promises to be a delightfully creepy YA horror. Being able to see the dead is just a part of who Jake Livingston is, just like being one of the only Black kids in his exclusive prep school, or being less popular than his well-liked older brother. But, unlike humans, the dead can at least be relied upon to be predictable. Most are just harmless fragments of lost life, stuck in a loop of their own death. Sad but safe. Until Sawyer, a powerful vengeful ghost with the ability to put Jake’s very life in danger. In life, Sawyer committed a terrible act of violence, shooting six kids at a local high school and then himself. In death he has plans, and those plans require Jake.
There’s a reason Off Limits Press is quickly becoming one of my go-to horror presses. They are turning out some incredible horror that you definitely do not want to miss, and that includes their July release, Immortelle, about a mother who will stop at nothing to find the truth about her daughter’s violent death. Elinor, a ceramic artist whose work is inspired by her grandmother’s interest in the supernatural, bends her craft to its own supernatural purpose when her daughter Rowena is murdered. Elinor is sure she knows who is responsible, so she crafts an immortelle out of clay in the shape of a starling to try and capture Rowena’s spirit. As word of her skill spreads, Elinor is soon overwhelmed by requests for immortelles, her power growing with each crafting. And as the dead whisper their secrets and the truth about her daughter’s murder is revealed, Elinor begins to craft her terrible revenge.
This book. I have been waiting so long for Small Favors and I just know it’s going to be the dark, bee-filled book of my heart. The Blackspire Mountain range is comprised of five sharp peaks bordered by a nearly impenetrable forest. And nestled amidst the Blackspires is the little town of Amity Falls. Visitors are rare and the wood is full of devils. This is Ellerie Downing’s home, and the quiet life she’s always known. But a sudden disappearance raises fears that the monsters the villagers once fought for survival may have returned, bringing with them honeyed promises of desires fulfilled. Asking only the smallest favors in return. Which I’m sure is… totally safe and not at all a cause for concern.
Like I said, this is only the beginning of what promises to be an amazing few months of new horror releases, and the titles I’ve feature here are just a taste. For more July releases make sure to check out this always fantastic list by Tor Nightfire of all the horror they’re looking forward to this year!
And as always, you can catch me on twitter at @JtheBookworm, where I try to keep up on all that’s new and frightening.
Happy reading!

Happy Monday, star bits! I know you’re never going to believe this but…I am excited about books today. LOL. Jk, jk, when am I not excited about books? I am up to my eyeballs in upcoming books, but I am also still working through Dune. But also the Interview with the Vampire news is giving me nostalgia feels now, so I kinda want to start reading those again too? I haven’t read Anne Rice since high school which was *cough* years ago, but I did love the first three vampire books, and The Witching Hour, and The Mummy. Will they hold up? Stay tuned!
Moving on: On top of the Interview with the Vampire story, I have lots more fun news for you today! I also have a look at an awesome creepy fall YA novel, plus cover reveals, a terrible pun, my little orange vulture, and trivia! Let’s get started, shall we?
Here’s Monday’s trivia question: In The Maidens by Alex Michaelides, The Maidens are a secret society at what school? (Scroll to the bottom for the answer.)

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!)
I don’t know about you, but I am a big fan of all the podcast-related novels that have popped up over the last couple years. You know, where someone within the book is making a podcast, usually about an unsolved event, and then scary things start happening again.
That’s certainly what is going on in this excellent YA fall thriller. Dare Chase is a teenager supernatural skeptic with a pretty big hit podcast on her hands. But now she needs a new subject for her next season. So when she gets a chance to spend a little time at Arrington Estate, she jumps at it.
Because Arrington Estate has a scary backstory: 30 years ago, teenager Atheleen Bell drowned in Arrington’s lake, and local legend says her spirit still haunts the estate. The house itself is falling into disrepair and is in need of renovations, which is what Dare has been hired on to do. She quickly makes friends with Quinn, the new house owner’s daughter, and another teen girl, who will also be helping in the cleanup efforts.
But right away, it’s evident that something weird is happening around the house. Warnings to stay out of the lake go unheeded and terrible things happen. As Dare finds herself falling for Quinn, she begins to worry more and more that she might be wrong about the existence of ghosts. And her stubbornness and insistence on continuing to get material for her show might get them all killed.
Like I said, I love a podcast-in-a-book story, and things in bodies of water freak me the eff out! (Have you ever read Tananarive Due’s short story collection Ghost Summer?!?) Plus there’s a big spooky house and lots of romantic tension. So this book was a big win for me. It’s a fun queer supernatural thriller that will haunt your fall reading!
(CW for murder, gore, animal death, and drowning.)

Hello again romance readers. I’m PN Hinton, your companion into the world of romance. I hope your spirit is doing well today. If you’re new to the Kissing Books newsletter, welcome and enjoy your stay. If you’re a long-time reader, welcome back; it’s good to see you again.
Well, Monday, we meet again. Now, I’m not like Garfield who detests Mondays but we’re not always buddy-buddy. We have a begrudgingly somewhat civil relationship since it’s always inevitable. Please don’t ever ask me if I’m having a case of ‘the Mondays’ a la Office Space though. Someone saying that to me would have me wanting to set fire to something even without stealing my red stapler.
But…don’t do that either.
This week should start off a little bit more positively since I’m coming off my birthday weekend. I had a great time relaxing with friends and, yes, I did buy a few books. Sometimes it feels weird buying books when I know I still have a TBR stack waiting at home. Recently, I’ve been in a weird reading mood. It’s not a slump though; it’s more stagnant reading. Books are taking me longer to get through, and this isn’t counting the ones that I’m savoring slowly. I think it’s because on some level I’m still trying to avoid DNFing books. Which isn’t to say that I still won’t, but so far this year I’ve only done that for five books and two of those were within the last week.
It’s an interesting internal struggle to have. On the one hand I want to finish the books at a higher rate than I’m obtaining them. This includes ARCs provided to me through NetGalley or otherwise. On the other hand, life’s too short to force yourself through a book that you’re not loving. So it’s a mixed bag all around.
Recently, Andrea of the Shelf Love Podcast tweeted about how romance novels shouldn’t be a substitution for sex education. And she’s correct; they shouldn’t be. Some people’s beef with romance is that it portrays an inaccurate view of sex and relationships. However, I will counter by reminding that these are fiction novels and they’re not intended to depict reality. Not every murder mystery gets solved; so by that mindset, there should be just as much pushback against mysteries and thrillers.
Part of the draw is that the sex is always good. Is it sometimes unbelievable? Sure, especially in the olden days of romance. But again, every other genre has a quality or two that in real life would be unbelievable such as cozy hamlets that have a new murder mystery every other month. In real life there wouldn’t be a plucky amateur sleuth. In real life, the town would be on a watch list and most people would get the hell out of dodge.

In real life, sex isn’t always great. Kids interrupt, you’re too tired, you’re not in the mood…the list could go on. And there’s nothing wrong with that because, in my opinion, when you’re in a committed relationship, whether it’s monogamous or polyamorous, you should feel comfortable enough with your partner(s) to have that type of honesty. Sex is not the foundation of a relationship nor does it a relationship make. It can be an enhancer but not always because there are asexual people in very happy relationships that don’t include sex. And that’s perfectly fine.
And not every single romance novel has a fireworks inducing first sex scene. In Jennifer Crusie’s Faking It, the first time Minerva and Davy hook up, she is…well faking it, prompting Davy to stop mid-stroke and say, “You’re not getting anything out of this are you?” Now, the next time is much better, but the first time wasn’t anything to write home about. Intentional bad sex scenes can happen in romance novels too. I make that distinction because unintentional bad sex scenes are a completely different kettle of fish.
