Happy Monday, book lovers! (Last week I said ‘Happy Friday’ because I work from home and never know what day it is, lol.) Regardless of what day it is, there is a ton of exciting book-related news! I hope everything in your world is marvelous and you have something wonderful to read. Enjoy your upcoming week, and be excellent to each other. – xoxo, Liberty

Book Riot Recommends
At Book Riot, I work on the New Books! email, the All the Books! podcast about new releases, and the Book Riot Insiders New Release Index. I am very fortunate to get to read a lot of upcoming titles, and I’m delighted to share a couple with you each week!
Not My White Savior: A Memoir in Poems by Julayne Lee (Rare Bird Books, March 13)
Holy cats, I cried so much reading this book. When Lee was a baby, she was adopted from South Korea and brought to Minnesota by a white Christian family. This is her beautiful, angry memoir about her loss of identity and the damage caused by being raised in an strict environment where she was repeatedly told how lucky she was, not to mention all the ignorant remarks people made to her about her heritage, her looks, and her homeland. This is a powerful book.
Herding Cats: A Sarah’s Scribbles Collection by Sarah Andersen (Andrew McMeel Publishing, March 27)
I have never related so hard to a comic before and I continue to be delighted and charmed by Sarah’s Scribbles. This is Andersen’s third collection, filled with both comics from her website and new comics, plus a bit of great advice at the end of this one. Love, love, love her.
And this is funny.
Oh, that Sarah MacLean, she’s always scheming.
