Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by I Am Yours: A Shared Memoir by Reema Zaman, from Amberjack Publishing.

To Speak is a Revolution.

I Am Yours tells of Reema’s unwavering fight to free her voice from those who have sought to silence her. Moving from Bangladesh to Thailand, New York, and Oregon, it explores her struggles with racism, misogyny, abuse, and anorexia in incisive, poetic prose.

I Am Yours is the first English-language memoir by a woman from Bangladesh that so powerfully explores the intersection of personal and political, for the sake of creating a world where all voices are welcome and respected. Because we’re in this together. You are mine, and I am yours.

Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne, published by William Morrow.

From the author of The Hating Game comes a new romantic comedy about two twins struggling over an inheritance, and the sexy best friend who gets in the middle.

Darcy Barrett met her dream man when she was eight years old, and the rest of the male population has been a letdown ever since. No one measures up to Tom Valeska whose only flaw is that her twin brother, Jamie, saw him first, and claimed him forever as his best friend.

Tom’s off limits and loyal to Jamie 99%, and for Darcy, one percent of him used to be enough.

But this time around, she’s switching things up…

013119-ThePlotters-RiotRundown

Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by Doubleday, publishers of The Plotters.

THE PLOTTERS is like if Wes Anderson wrote a thriller: a ensemble cast of eccentric characters come together to form a truly unique crime novel. Set in an alternate Seoul where assassins gather in a headquarters known as “The Library,” the story follows Reseng, a lifelong hitman whose every move is dictated by the anonymous Plotters. Then, one day, Reseng steps out of line on a job and finds himself embroiled in a deadly scheme that’s totally off-book. From the writer the Guardian calls “The Korean Henning Mankell”, THE PLOTTERS is a stylish and sarcastic thriller that will also appeal to literary readers.
