SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON by Amal El-Mohtar | 9781250341006 | 3/24/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“From Nebula award winner El-Mohtar (THE RIVER HAS ROOTS) comes a collection of 14 stories and four poems that shine both individually and as a whole. Blending fantasy, magical realism, and speculative fiction, and often rooted in history, myth, or legend, these tales range widely across time and place but are connected, as El-Mohtar writes in her introduction, by her love of women… Meanwhile, the poetry, presented in both English and Arabic, delves into real-world struggles while still showcasing El-Mohtar’s characteristic lyricism and striking imagery. There’s not a false note here.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“El-Mohtar (THE RIVER HAS ROOTS, 2025) brings genuine storytelling talent paired with lush poetic language to deliver the kind of narratives her devotees have grown to love. Fans of Naomi Novik and E. Lily Yu will want to check this one out… El-Mohtar is both an award-winner and a fan favorite, with her popularity transcending typical genre divisions, so expect lots of interest here.”—Booklist, starred review
THE FEATHER WARS: And the Great Crusade to Save America’s Birds by James H. McCommons | 9781250286895 | 3/17/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“This dazzling account from journalist McCommons (CAMERA HUNTER) examines how the ‘meanness… and greed’ of the indiscriminate slaughter of birds in turn-of-the-20th-century America prompted a diverse array of figures to take up the cause of conservation… McCommons adorns his narrative with colorful characters that bring fascinating depth to the historical period, such as boys whose childhoods were spent subsistence hunting. The result is an immersive saga of a shift in both public conscience and everyday practice.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The book can be read as a history of the U.S. through birds, as, oddly enough, one can’t fully be told without the other… [McCommons’s] prose shines… A definitive history of bird conservation in America.“—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
LADY TREMAINE by Rachel Hochhauser | 9781250396341 | 3/3/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Hochhauser’s splendid debut retells the ‘Cinderella’ story from the stepmother’s perspective… Hochhauser grounds her tale with a convincing depiction of the medieval setting and offers a stirring exploration of maternal instinct and female strength. It’s a winner.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review
THIS STORY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE by Tiffany Crum | 9781250395238 | 3/10/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Crum skillfully intercuts Benny’s narration with draft chapters from Joy’s memoir-in-progress, heightening suspense while gradually establishing that Benny’s unspoken love for Joy is reciprocal. By turns hilarious, harrowing, heartbreaking, and profound, Crum’s mystery ticks every box. It’s a triumph.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review
BETTER THAN A DUKE by Suzanne Enoch | 9781250331205 | 3/3/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Bestseller Enoch (A DUKE NEVER TELLS) puts a Regency spin on The Parent Trap in this sparkling romp... There’s plenty of wit and intrigue on offer as the children’s scheme unfolds. Meanwhile, the chemistry between Beckett and Iris is palpable. Historical romance fans won’t want to miss this one.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review
NOBODY’S BABY by Olivia Waite | 9781250342263 | 3/10/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Ship’s detective Dorothy Gentleman, introduced in MURDER BY MEMORY (2025), takes a second case when a baby in a basket is left on her nephew Ruthie’s doorstep… In this exquisite, slim novel, Waite blends a cozy locked-room mystery and inventively logical world building to create an addictive read that will delight mystery and sf fans.“—Booklist, starred review
CELESTIAL LIGHTS by Cecile Pin | 9781250863492 | 3/24/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Pin’s perfectly melancholy prose offers a sweeping yet grounded portrait of a man whose aspiration becomes the guiding principle of his life. The novel beautifully explores loneliness, memory, belonging, grief, and the cost of chasing one’s dreams. A quiet, poignant, and deeply human novel.“—Kirkus Reviews

For fans of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, Euphoria, and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist debut about a friendship caught in the crossfire of fame and ambition. It’s a story about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story, and a story about growing up in an industry which sometimes disregards the needs of young girls and women in favor of self-interest. But more than anything, it’s a story about redemption, and the ways that hopes and dreams can come true in ways we least expect.

Drawn toward the unknown. In search of a way forward.
