Today, I’m teasing, tantalziing, and enticing with five upcoming releases that I’m excited about -- and I think you will be too.

chick lit
Reading about people who hate their bodies normalizes body hate. But it's not like chick lit invented characters who don't like their bodies.
books
Every time one of these op-eds is published, it serves as a reminder that children who experience hardship are freakish and weird, and that childhood should be a happy, unicorn and rainbow-filled place.
romance novels
According to Wikipedia, the books I like are specifically "Regency Historical Romances," which prioritize explicit sex scenes over historical accuracy. Hell, yeah.

book clubs
I sat down and made a list of books I could honestly recommend with fat characters. Also, let's pick a book to read for the xoBook Club!
books
Since I love you all, I thought I would share some of the books I’ll be reading in the coming months.
banned books
For some of us, an attempt to ban a book is a red flag that we should IMMEDIATELY gain access to this book so we can read what you don’t want us to.

From what I can see, the iteration of new adult that St. Martin’s Press appears to be pushing in its attempt to turn new adult into a thing is not going to sell well, because it’s not what people really want.
books
Emily's got her true crime fetish, I've got my weird diseases and dead people fetish.
books
So, what have I been reading lately? Well, a lot of young adult, which should come as no surprise, but I'm not solely on a diet of YA.
books
I have three dark and delectable reading recs for you this week.
books
Apparently what readers really want is more sex, drugs and cracking heads with their futuristic technology.
architecture
We stalk the latest and hottest libraries, hoping for a glimpse deep inside, and like paparazzi, we swarm around gala openings and ribbon-cutting events in the hopes of that ephemeral perfect shot.
because i love you
Plus, you get to have experiences like “HOLY CRAP JAY ASHER JUST RETWEETED ME.”

If being addicted to books is a boring vice, then call me Boring McBoringstein.

book clubs
In this semi-regular series, we’ll talk about our favorite books related to somewhat specific topics and themes. It’s like a cross between the New York Review of Books and a book club, minus any pretense or guilt.

If you’re tired of pawing over your copies of “The Hunger Games” while waiting for the movie release, here are some other dystopian YA series you may want to sink your teeth into.

Because I like making our contributors take pretty, pretty pictures of themselves! Oh yeah, and books.

Here, you’re not gonna get just any ol’ book on between-life regression or dolphin-human communication.
books
Don't let the dippy cover art fool you; Marian Keyes is a literary genius.
