Remy Tsai used to know how her story would turn out. She was happy once. Remy had her boyfriend Jack, and Elise, her best friend—her soul mate—who understood her better than anyone else in the world. But now Jack is dead, shot through the chest… And it was Elise who pulled the trigger. Was it self-defense? Or something darker than anything Remy could have imagined? As the police investigate, Remy does the same, sifting through her own memories, looking for a scrap of truth that could save the friendship that means everything to her....

Hi mystery fans! As promised, I am here this time with my favorite backlist reads this year. Basically, if I would have read these books the year they were released they would have been on that year’s Best Of list. And no amount of time will stop making these great reads!

In an attempt to remain calm and gleefully hairy, I’ve been filling up my online shopping cart and ereader with books and graphic novels about body positivity. What’s quickly become apparent is that 1. I’m going to run out of money before I run out of books to read, and 2. Some of the best, most beautiful graphic novels about sex, love and bodies are Swedish. Here are four of my favourites....

I’ve been really interested in the ~millennial~ take on personal finance books lately. They’re my people with my problems. They’re not rich white dudes who know how to play the stock market or whatever. They don’t have cults of followers. They’re just people trying to get by and share what they’ve learned. These books are all very new, and very relevant. Fill up your TBR with these great personal finance books for millennials (and humans of all ages, of course)....

Below are four of my favorite upcoming queer YA romance novels that I’ve recently had a chance to pick up and enjoy.

Are there any that you’re looking for or recommend? Let me know on Twitter at @AuroraMiami and let us know your thoughts at @BookRiot as well....

These 40 titles contain many award-winners and reader favorites that were released in hardcover and are now coming out in paperback format. There is also a section of paperback original titles that are being released in paperback format right from the start. A lot of publishers do this for many different reasons, like cost, or maybe it’s a genre that sells better in paperback. No matter the reason, get ready to topple your TBR with all these awesome paperback releases....

As a bisexual Korean American writer myself (albeit without a book published yet), I’ve been watching the aforementioned list grow with interest. Despite the still relatively modest presence of queer Korean American literature, a few very notable works have popped up just within the past couple years. So who are the writers who have made this “slim, ferocious list”? What have they been up to? Here’s a starter kit of selected books....

Nonetheless, now that I am an author myself and I make my living by writing (although not just by writing books, because the full-time novelist who makes enough money to support themselves by book sales alone is an elusive and rare creature), I enjoy watching movies and TV shows about authors. Or rather, I enjoy yelling at the TV about how much they get wrong — they are two separate but equally enjoyable activities....

I chose to focus on those special editions put out by major publishers and available at all major retailers and indie bookstores. And bonus, here is a glimpse at the patterned edges! With these books available to gift, holiday shopping is going to be a breeze this year!...

It’s true, though. I love creating a weekly podcast with our students and there are several benefits for everyone involved. I’ve identified five great reasons to start a podcast with students, and here they are: It’s All Student-Made Our student book club, known as The Booklings, creates the content for our podcast. They named the podcast (Booklings Chat) and created the logo. Currently, they interview authors who come to the Library, but they also discuss their own reading habits and conduct book reviews....

For the purpose of this post, any mermaid/merman/selkie/sea god that rises from the deep shall be considered a “sea creature,” regardless of however many human “parts” they may possess. Soul Song by Marjorie M. Liu Apologies to the chronological readers out there; Soul Song is technically sixth in Liu’s Dirk & Steele series. But, like most romances in a series, it can be read on its own. So for those of you who don’t care as much about reading a series in order (I’m notorious for starting in the middle of things), it will definitely be worth your time....

11 Before 12 by Lisa Greenwald “The first day of middle school means trading in freeze tag at the pool for new schedules, fabulous outfits, and a fresh start. But for eleven-year-old Kaylan, the chaos of new locker combinations, cafeteria cliques, and potential first kisses is more than she can handle. She dreads the start of sixth grade and feels like she wants—no, needs—a winning game plan. Luckily, Kaylan and her effortlessly chill BFF, Arianna, have a fool-proof plan for tackling transitions: a list of eleven things they need to do to totally transform themselves before they both turn twelve in November....

Popular though it may be, horror isn’t a huge genre. Fans who go looking for reading recommendations may find themselves inundated with calls to read Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves, Michael McDowell’s The Elementals, or Joan Samson’s The Auctioneer. Don’t get me wrong; those books are fantastic. But if we spend too much time focusing on horror books from 20 years ago or more, we miss out on all the great works that have come out since....
