Looking for a great read AND want to support emerging women authors? Introducing the Shady Ladies List! 

Each month we'll feature a list of debut and sophomore books being published so you never miss out on discovering your new favorite author!

This month we have several powerful memoirs, biting essays, a trio of black women writing their truth, two coming-of-age novels, adventures to Antarctica and India, a psychological thriller and more. 

A very happy publication day to them all!

Caveat 1: I'll do my best to make this list as complete as possible, but I may miss a few. Hit me up if you know someone who should be included. Caveat 2: I don’t keep a list for poetry or genre (romance, horror, etc.). It’s not because they aren’t worthy. They are. I just don’t prefer them. Caveat 3: If there is an asterisk, I was provided an advanced review copy of the book free of charge or promise of coverage. Caveat 4: Support your local bookseller!
