From the author of the bestselling novel Float comes a slow-burn romance about doing the right thing. When Laurel Cates uncovers a shocking truth about her university's football coach, it takes all of her courage to publish the story in the school’s paper. Bodie St James, the star quarterback whose own career now hangs in the balance, confronts Laurel time and time again about her choices. As they navigate their new realities, Laurel and Bodie must decide where their values lie, and reckon with the price of the truth.

My native language is Portuguese, and I’ve been reading in English since my early 20s. When I moved to the Netherlands in 2019 and started working at an indie bookshop, I slowly began to add books written in Dutch to my repertoire, in an effort to improve my language skills. Reading in several languages can feel like having a superpower. After all, you get the chance to read several works in the languages they were written in, rather than having to rely on sometimes unfulfilling translations.

“I often look up lists made by users on Goodreads, [and] DiverseBooks.org has a resource page with links to various sites or LGBTQ Reads by Dahlia Adler. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s hard to naturally find such books, as they are often published by smaller publishers with not enough advertising resources. That’s why it’s important to take some time each year to look for books by authors you wouldn’t normally see on a shelf in your favorite bookstore,” says Denis Ristić, a reader and a business owner.

Some comics go down in history as masterful examples of the craft and are beloved by multiple generations. And others end up at the landfill. In this series, I’ll be looking back on some forgotten series to better understand what kind of comics our ancestral nerds were reading in the days of rotary phones and record players.

Welcome to a new year, comics readers!

Despite the overflow of cultural messaging about what Valentine’s Day should entail, I am here to share some alternative ideas. Valentine’s Day can be celebrated whether you have a significant other or not. I am all for expanding the narrative of this holiday to commemorate not just romantic love, but also the many different facets of love, from family and friendship to self-love.

Social media seems harmless enough, right? Wrong! It’s a scary place, and if you don’t know how to navigate the wild world of Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc., well then you might just find yourself lost in the weeds. Thank goodness we have social media influencers. Their whole job is to make sense of the world of social media, create content for us to enjoy, and create a sense of organization on the otherwise chaotic Internet.

Books are great, and books that come in twos are even better! I’m talking about duologies — SFF duologies, to be exact. I remember when I read Octavia Butler’s Parable series (consisting of Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents), the idea of a duology was totally new to me.

I’ve always loved stories about moving libraries — libraries carried on the backs of mules through the Appalachian mountains or maybe a library carried on the back of a dragon. But when it came time for my library to become more mobile, I felt overwhelmed as I faced this seemingly impossible task. How on earth was I going to move over 1,400 books?

This week across the book banning social media world, a new guidebook to inappropriate books across the state of Iowa has been circulating. This 111 page guidebook, put together by Moms For Liberty in Polk County, reiterates that their quest to remove inappropriate books from schools is not about book banning. Indeed, they use the Stephen King philosophy to suggest that just because they do not want books in schools does not mean that students cannot get them from public libraries (conveniently leaving out their quest to get those books removed in public libraries, too).
