Published: Crooked Media Reads - August 1st, 2023

A clever, entertaining, thought-provoking read: Bunny's adolescent years begin in Baku, drift through WASP-y New England, and end in exurbia Houston, all of them spent buffeted against the more strongly expressed wills of others. One constant in Bunny's foreign-service kid life has been the background thrum of oil & its exigencies and its overwhelming male-ness. Is that world hers? And what would that mean, if so? Watching Bunny weigh her ambivalences is a delight, albeit one mixed with the inexorable terror of knowing where all of these choices lead. A coming-of-age novel, with a side of climate fiction.

Published: Tor Books - August 15th, 2023

Behind thorns, a princess is trapped in an eternal sleep. Despite what the stories say about her needing to be rescued by a knight in shining armor, the world may be safer is she stays enshrined in brambles. That doesn't stop the knights, however, nor does it stop the fairy Toadling from keeping them out. The genius of this story is as sharp as the thorns surrounding the tower, and Toadling's character is as winding and sinuous as the water her power is derived from. This novella is worth savoring, a sparking re-imagining of an all-too-familiar fairy tale. --Jordan

Published: Knopf - August 15th, 2023

William Boyd, where you have been all my life? Styled as a fictional biography of one Cashel Greville Ross, The Romantic is a page-turning, globe-spinning, picaresque like romp through 19th century Europe and beyond.. Maybe not the book if you're looking for deep character development, but but who needs inner depth when you're having this much fun? Clearly, I'm late to the fan club, but after finishing this one, I promptly bought two other Boyd novels .. I can't wait. --Elese

Chilling, wistful, and a charming illustration of unwavering human connection. This story feels like an old folktale passed down and retold again and again. The storytelling grabbed me from the start, seamlessly intertwining its monstrous horror, the looming war violence, and the devotion between a vaquero and a healer, Néstor and Nena. -Emma
