They're Going to Love You by Meg Howrey They're Going to Love You centers around Carlisle, the adult child of a former professional ballerina and an openly gay father, searching to unravel the mystery of her past. Coming of age in New York City during the AIDS epidemic, she realizes there's much about the world she grew up in that she didn't understand at the time. She receives a call one day that starts her journey to get to the truth of what really happened, and discovers just how deeply her past informed the person she's become. Deftly tackling issues like the nature of art, creative desire, family relationships, mortality, and the human need to be seen and validated, They're Going to Love You is beautifully layered and unforgettable. —David Vogel Get it from Bookshop. |

Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan Emotional depth abounds in this remarkable layered romance. Yasmen and Josiah are recently separated, still reeling from the tragedies that pushed them apart. The two finally seem to have a system in place, as they co-parent and co-run their business. As they both try to move on, they're constantly pulled back into each others arms. One kiss, then another, and another. But falling back into their old rhythm also means opening old scars and old heartaches. Kennedy Ryan's newest is a second chance romance filled with such hope for love after loss and it's a gorgeous love story. —Rachel Strolle Get it from Bookshop. Pride and Protest by Nikki Payne Liza Bennett is a DJ, trying to keep a property developer from destroying her neighborhood. But her first protest goes wrong when she assumes a hot guy is a waiter, as opposed to the CEO himself. Dorsey Fitzgerald assumes Liza's outrage is performative.

But when a meme from Liza's protest goes viral, both of their worlds will change forever. This new imagining of Pride and Prejudice is an inventive take on a classic love story. —Rachel Strolle Get it from Bookshop. |

Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse This fun novella takes place in an alternative version of the 19th-century American West, where, after Heaven's War, Angels (Virtues) are at the top of the power ladder, and Demons (the Fallen) are at the bottom. Celeste's mother was a Fallen and her father a Virtue, which makes her an outcast to both groups. As a child, Celeste's Virtue father spirited her away from her Fallen mother and sister and educated her. As soon as her father died, Celeste returned to her sister Mariel, wracked with guilt for abandoning her. Celeste now works as a card sharp in the mining town of Goetia, in the same joint where her sister sings. When her sister is arrested for murdering a Virtue, Celeste vows to do anything to save her, no matter what. This compelling, dark fantasy mystery could easily be read in 1-2 sittings. —Margaret Kingsbury Get it from Bookshop. Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan The second and final book in The Celestial Kingdom duology is as beautiful and lushly written as the first, Daughter of the Moon Goddess. A year after the events in the first book, Xingyin is trying to find peace and contentment living with her mother Chang'e on the moon once more. Liwei wants them to marry, which would require Xingyin to leave her mother and live in the palace, where she knows the Celestial Emperor and Empress won't welcome her. Full of remorse, Wenzhi is also intent on winning Xingyin back. When uninvited immortals cause havoc on the moon and attempt to drug and steal a powerful magic object, Xingyin once more finds herself reluctantly in the center of the Celestial Kingdom's political machinations, forced to leave her home. This epic fantasy series based on Chinese mythology is one of the year's best fantasies. —Margaret Kingsbury Get it from Bookshop. |

The Wind At My Back by Misty Copeland Misty Copeland's memoir is a beautifully told recollection of her friendship with the legendary Raven Wilkinson, Misty's mentor and close friend. As the first African-American principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, Misty pays heartfelt homage to Raven, who paved the way for diversity within the ballet world in the 1950s and '60s when hostile racism was prevalent and discouraging, but Raven persisted. Misty reveals honest truths about her journey to ballet stardom while also sharing important stories from Raven's journey. It's a touching, important, and unforgettable read. —Farrah Penn Get it from Bookshop.
Have I Told You This Already by Lauren Graham Graham's latest book is an insightful, honest, funny, and moving collection of captivating stories that happened to her throughout her life, many of which focus on family, friendship, stardom, and growing up. While this is a book fans of Graham will surely enjoy, you don't have to know her that well to become fully immersed in her tales. Some story topics include: behind-the-scenes of late night shows, orange trees, New York, bras, ageism in the industry, adopting a dog, Mae Whitman, her mother, and much more. —Farrah Penn Get it from Bookshop. Jack in the Box by Jack O'Brien In his second book, Jack O'Brien, Tony Award Winning director and theatrical legend, attempts to answer the question "What does a director do?" Part memoir, part how-to guide, with more than enough juicy backstage anecdotes to keep readers entertained, this book is the perfect companion for any theater lover. If you don't know who Jack O'Brien is, he provides an accessible, informative overview of his life in the theater, and if you're already a fan, you'll finish this book with a newfound respect for a living legend. It's a charming, utterly delightful read that flies by. —David Vogel Get it from Bookshop. |
