Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

Can my review just be screaming emojis?
Revisado: 06-28-23
Seriously as a writer trying to break into publishing this was soooo uncomfortable to read. Like having my head held underwear, except the water is liquified Book Twitter. How was it also so engaging that I finished it in 3 days? Kuang is eviscerating, calling out interpersonal and systemic racism, professional jealousy, greed and selfishness, internet trolls, and the culture machine that is Big Publishing. Buckle up because this is a RIDE. I wouldn’t expect any less from Kuang.

As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that’s all they’re going to get from her.

Delivers on its promises
Revisado: 06-28-23
What I love about this story is it doesn’t pretend to be what it’s not. It’s simply a sweet queer rom-com that asks Korean media to make space for queer people. There are lots of homages to K-drama and peeks into Korean culture and entertainment business for Western readers. If everything happens to works out in the end and the bad guy gets his due, isn’t that just like a K-drama?

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

What a gloriously voicey, spectacularly greusome and brilliantly conceived story. Well done, Tamsyn Muir. Long live Gideon Nav!

With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, 20-something author, blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace.

Burcaw is the MAN
Revisado: 09-01-20
Shane Burcaw doesn’t just have a gift for story-telling. He has incredible stories to tell. Not the “inspiration porn” so maligned by the disability community, but an insightful tale of learning who you are, finding your place in the world, and learning how to love the people in your life. Who doesn’t want to read that story? Especially when it’s told so poignantly and humorously! Thanks, Shane!
