Notable Releases: 9/17-9/23

Here are some notable releases on my radar from this past week:

MG/YA

Three Dark Crowns Book 2: One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake

Three Dark Crowns was a favorite of mine from last year. Can't wait to see how it all goes down.

Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore

FINALLY, a new Cashore book! Some of you may recall, I am a huge fan of the Graceling trilogy.







Kingdom on Fire Book 2: A Poison Dark and Drowning by Jessica Cluess

A Shadow Dark and Burning was a pleasant surprise from last year. I look forward to its sequel.






Speak Easy, Speak Love by McKelle George

A debut that promises a contemporary retelling of Much Ado About Nothing. Hopefully it is minus all the gross sexism/slut shaming that was in that play.

Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu

About a girl who starts a feminist-like magazine at her school and starts a revolution. I personally, can't wait to read this.







Non-Fiction

Paperbacks From Hell: A History of Horror Fiction From the 70s and 80s by Grady Hendrix

Pretty much what it sounds like: a loving look into all those pulpy horror books with cheesy covers from the 70s/80s. I'm here for stuff like this.






Thanks, Obama: My Hopey, Changey White House Years by David Litt

One of Obama's speechwriters writes hilariously about his time in the White House.

The Origin of Others by Toni Morrison

Essay collection from Toni Morrison? Yes, please.








Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change by Ellen Pao

For those who don't know, Pao is the one who sued a Silicon Valley firm for discrimination. The suit revealed a lot of toxic things that happen in Silicon Valley. This book goes into that and what companies can do to make the work environment less toxic.





Comics/Manga

Captain America Secret Empire TP
Power Man and Iron Fist Vol. 3: Street Magic TP
Moon Knight Vol. 3: Birth and Death TP
Case Closed Vol. 64
