As I mentioned, I’ve been in a reading slump—okay, I can’t lie to you. I’ve been reading constantly, but it’s all been fanfiction. I need to pull myself together if I want to make a dent in my TBR. The only books I finished in August were a reread of How Far the Light Reaches

Lately, audiobooks seem to have completely replaced my Spotify playlists when I’m out and about (and just in general, once a story has hooked me, if I’m being honest). Because I’ve been in a kind of sampling mood and want to spread my reading over multiple authors, I’ve been gravitating towards novella audiobooks. Like short

Whether they’re new releases or beloved classics, Latine picture books celebrate Latine cultures. With evocative illustrations and, oftentimes, bilingual narration, these stories revel in the vibrance and diversity of Latine life. Picture books are amazing for their ability to help young readers develop empathy and learn a thing or two. The right author and illustrator

Everyone has an opinion about AI—but is it an informed one? It’s easy to get swept up in the firestorm of online discourse, but it’s worth putting in the time to learn about this technology first.

Science fiction and horror stories have long been used to tackle subjects that more realistic genres might have trouble being so blunt about. The original Godzilla is a warning about the dangers of nuclear weapons. Carmilla, Dracula, and other vampires are frequently seen as allegories of queerness. And, comic book superheroes with “monstrous” powers, such

You’ve no doubt seen the headlines and handwringing proclaiming that men are being pushed out of the literary landscape: Men don’t read anymore. Men can’t get book deals.

How does the past affect our present? It’s a question we find ourselves faced with time and time again, so it’s no surprise that it comes up in historical fiction, too. It is the genre of the past after all. But in dual-timeline historical fiction novels like these, it also explores the present. The ways

It wasn’t until this year that I realized August is about the only month without a single holiday in the United States. Although it is one of the busiest months for birthdays, it is much quieter for other celebrations. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons it sometimes feels so long, even if it is a

Who needs fictional horror when the real thing is outside your door? While ghouls and goblins may make us shiver, the world has all kinds of dark corners that are even more horrifying than the Conjuring movies—and in much more hands-on ways.
