6 Mysteries That Will Make You Turn Back to Page One
There’s nothing more delicious than getting to the end of a mystery only to have the author expertly pull the rug out from under. Done well, an ending that reframes the entire book and turns everything we think we just learned on its head is both dizzying and invigorating, sending us back to chapter one to see if we can spot what was hiding in plain sight all along.
Literary Fiction by LGBTQIA+ Authors to Read Now
There’s no other feeling like being lost in a literary fiction. Between the prose of the author and the way the story builds a relationship between the reader and the main character, it’s like meeting a new friend that lures you into a literary lullaby that you can get lost in.

Sue Rainsford on A Little Life, The Second Sex, and Edgar Allan Poe
Welcome to the Book Marks Questionnaire, where we ask authors questions about the books that have shaped them.

BM: Favorite re-read? SR: I’m a terrible re-reader, I might dip back in and read a few pages at a time but I hardly ever re-read a book in full.
Review: The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
The Death of Vivek Oji is a beautifully told story of a unique and unusual young person and their community in Nigeria. We learn at the outset of the novel that Vivek has died, and the book tells the story of their life, continually foreshadowing the future. Akwaeke Emezi has crafted a book that both moves quickly in its storyline, and is written with precision and beauty. There are no wasted words in this slim volume. Perhaps the novel’s greatest strength is in its character development.
Review: Shadow Sands by Robert Bryndza
Kate Marshall is back! While many readers may be more familiar with Robert Bryndza’s outstanding Erika Foster series, I am a Kate Marshall fan through-and-through. Shadow Sands is the second book featuring this character, but there is no “sophomore slump” here. Shadow Sands keeps the excitement and tension level just as high as her first appearance in Nine Elms.

Mad Love: Five Novels About Destructive Romantic Friendships
I have personal reasons for being interested in toxic same-gender friendships, which is to say, I am a queer person who was a very specific kind of teenager. Many readers, and LGBT+ ones in particular, are intimately familiar with these formative young adult friendships.
