Book Buzz Feature: Shae by Mesha Maren
For my generation, your coming out story was huge. Right, like when did you come out and how did it go?, and I’m sure that’s still a part of many people’s narratives, but I do have the feeling that things have shifted. The fluidity of both Cam and Shae’s sexuality and the conversations or sometimes lack of conversations around it felt very real to my sister in terms of the conversations she has had with her teenagers, and I was glad that came across as being real. ― Mesha Maren, Southern Review of Books

Decide For Yourself Banned Book Feature: Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
After two private school students are selected to be prefects, an anonymous bully starts sending text messages with revealing secrets about them to the rest of the student body. In this debut novel, suspense is expertly combined with interesting social commentary–perfect for fans of Courtney Summers, Maureen Johnson, or Karen McManus!
―Jen Minor, Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
