Win a Copy of NO TIME TO SPARE by Ursula K. Le Guin!

 

We have 10 copies of No Time to Spare by Ursula K. Le Guin for 10 Riot readers!

Here’s what it’s all about:

Ursula K. Le Guin has taken readers to imaginary worlds for decades. Now she’s in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where she shines. The collected best of Ursula’s blog, No Time to Spare presents perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters to her now, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it: “How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us.”

The New York Times’ 10 Best Books of the Year: Today in Books

This installment of Today in Books is sponsored by A Duke in Shining Armor by Loretta Chase:


 

The New York Times Selects Its 10 Best Books of the Year

This list is probably the most prestigious media-selected book list of the year, and while I haven’t read all of them, the ones I have read are truly wonderful (Exit West, Priestdaddy, Sing, Unburied, Sing). If you are into literary fiction and non-fiction, then you could do worse than read these chosen 10.

 

Jenny Slate Writing Book of Feminist Fables

Actress, comedian, and director Jenny Slate signed a deal with Little, Brown for a collection of feminist fables to be published in 2019. The book doesn’t have a title yet, but the description sounds fascinating: “The witty and at times fantastical book imagines the perspectives of other preyed-upon creatures (a deer venturing into a meadow; a globe of fruit plucked from its branch), invites us into the haunted house of her childhood, and celebrates the power of being vulnerable and open, even in the face of rejection and fear.” 

 

4-Year-Old With Inoperable Brain Tumor Receives Hundreds of Books

When her parents found out that she had an inoperable brain tumor, they tried to think of giving her something to make her happy and to sustain her during the trying days of treatment and surgery ahead. So they asked their friends and family to make it known that Lena loves books and that building out her personal library would go a long way. The result? By word of mouth, and word of internet, people from all over heard Len’a story and she has so far received hundreds of boxes of books. Good for you Lena, and best of luck.

Win THE RULES OF MAGIC by Alice Hoffman!

 

We’re giving away The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman to one lucky winner (and their friend)!

Here’s what The Rules of Magic is all about:

For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man.

Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.

From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Back in New York City each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse.
