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!
The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, February 13, 2018)
Any of you get to go to summer camp? I never did, which might explain why I can’t pass up novels that take place at camps. This is a wonderful one, about a group of girls at sleepaway camp who are stranded on an island during a kayaking trip, and how that one night will shape their lives forever.
The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg (Holt Paperbacks, March 13, 2018)
Delightful dark tales with a feminist twist from the always wonderful Ortberg. This collection features new takes on classic stories, injected with wit, mischief, and a dash of psychological horror. Perfect for fans of Angela Carter, Kelly Link, and Catherynne Valente.
And this is funny.
