Someone like you belongs on a book cover, but, depending on who you are, it’s appalling how hard you are to find. My wife and I have launched an Indiegogo campaign, We Need Diverse Book Covers, to change that.. A few years ago, the #weneeddiversebooks campaign launched to advocate for improved diversity in children’s literature.Read More

Danika reviews Tomboy Survival Guide by Ivan Coyote
“I was not ladylike, nor was I manly. I was something else altogether. There were so many different ways to be beautiful.” – Michael Cunningham, A Home at the Edge of the World, epigraph to Tomboy Survival Guide I am in love with this book, as I am in love with Ivan Coyote’s writing in general. First ofRead More

Aoife reviews Thaw by Elyse Springer
**/* Closer to a 2 than a 3, but it gets bonus points for asexuality and librarians. I was really excited about this book–I downloaded it literally as soon as I saw the email.

Julie Thompson reviews Translucid: Dragonfire Station, Book 1 by Zen DiPietro
Translucid, Zen DiPietro’s first installment in her “Dragonfire” series, is a riveting space onion. And by “space onion”, I mean that Translucid is a tightly wound mystery, set on board the Dragonfire Space Station. No one is what or who they seem. Chief Security Officer (CSO) Emé Fallon awakens in sickbay with no memory ofRead More
Danika reviews Thirteen Hours by Meghan O’Brien
I know, I know. “What is that cover??” I can explain. (No I can’t. It’s a terrible cover.) There’s a useful term they use on Book Riot: “genre kryptonite“. It describes those tropes that immediately make you want to pick up a book. The buzzwords that leave you helpless to add a book to yourRead More
