Part of this long weekend will be spent happily combing through lists of new books being published this fall and winter and adding some to my wishlist. Of course it's not like I need even more books added to my already mountainous TBR or anything.

We had a great launch party for A SECOND CHANCE FOR YESTERDAY in our hometown NYC thanks to our friend Stephanie Grant, who interviewed us, and our dear family Michael Heller and Debora Cahn, who hosted. Thanks so much to everyone who joined the fun! @aram @rachelcleves @bookstodon @bookwyrm #books #NewBooks #bookstodon

Hey @bookstodon and @lgbtbookstodon It's time for #NewBooks! August 22, 2023:

There are fewer #BookReleases than usual this week, so I have broken my usual rules* and have included #books in a series.

Plantains and Our Becoming: Poems, Melania Luisa Marte. Incisive, instructive, incomparable. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

House of Odysseus, Claire North. Follow-up to Ithaca: The Long Way Home.

Swim Home to the Vanished, Brendan Shay Basham. Grief and the Powerful Need to Right Wrongs.

The Enemy at Home, Kevin O'Brien. WWII-era Seattle Serial Killer

Actually Super, Adi Alsaid. Are There Real Superheroes in This World? Let's Find Them.

Gunmetal Mountain, John Shirley. ACAB: All Cults Are Bad, The Wild West Version

He Who Drowned The World, Shelley Parker-Chan. Radiant Emperor follow-up: Greed, Hubris, Revenge, oh my!

The Queen of the Valley, Lorena Hughes. From The Author of The Spanish Daughter, Disappearance, Secrets, and a Massive Earthquake in Colombia.

Teach the Torches to Burn, Caleb Roehrig. Tender, Queer retelling of Romeo & Juliet

---

*generally speaking, I list adult fiction, poetry, and graphic novel releases which seem promising, and I usually skip:

⚫ Super well-known authors like CoHo and Patterson. They don't need my help.

⚫ YA, MG, unless I think it will appeal to a general audience.

⚫ Books in a series.

⚫ NF, with exceptions.

Hey, I'm so honored to be here with the cool crew on the Beige Party Boat!

I'm not allowed to follow any more people until after 8PM, says whomever's dad is in charge of that kind of thing.

As a little intro, for those who don't know me: I am an avid reader and reviewer of mostly fiction. I really do love to learn about anything, so hit me with your area of interest/expertise. I love all the arts. I am a champion of democracy, rights and equity for all. I will post about politics, but also about my dog Baxter, my wife J, and odd happenings in my neighborhood, etc.

Every Tuesday, I post a curated list of new book releases which I believe bear consideration.

I love this community we're building here.

@bookstodon I'm sure there are thousands of talented authors out there, whom most of us will never discover. But, what a gift when we do!

I was unfamiliar with Scott Nicolay's work, but almost every rating posted on his latest book: AND AT MY BACK I ALWAYS HEAR, are gushing reviews by fellow authors. He creates whole little worlds in each novella, sucking you in with intricate, engaing*, details without using more characters than he needs to.

I would call this "a book of novellas for people who think that they don't like short stories."

• at one point, I looked up and realized that I'd missed dinner by hours, deep into the weird fiction of the author. And Honey, I NEVER miss a meal.
