SUBLIMATION by Isabel J. Kim | 9781250376794 | 6/2/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Nebula Award winner Kim debuts with a strikingly original work of speculative fiction… Kim’s worldbuilding is impeccable, extending so far as to reimagine classic literature through the lens of instancing… The gorgeously rendered and deeply unsettling second-person narration enhances the intense and emotional reading experience. The result is a sharp, deeply felt first outing from a writer already at the top of her game.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Award-winning Kim’s debut is a tantalizing novel about immigration, desire, regret, and our struggle to know ourselves… Kim’s ability to track her world building into ancient times and modern politics, the emotional rawness of the characters and their many-faceted flaws and choices, and Soyoung/Rose’s quest to untangle herself from herself, all make for deeply compelling sf… This debut is drawing comparisons to the mega-hit TV show Severence, and its tantalizing premise, along with a big print run, will draw lots of attention.“—Booklist, starred review

This powerful novel will appeal to fans of Allen Eskens, Elle Marr, and Brad Parks.“—Library Journal, starred review

THE TRAVELER by Joseph Eckert | 9781250428554 | 6/9/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley

Scott’s wife and son are impacted by Scott’s time away from them, which leads to his exceptional son building his life around saving his dad from this condition.

“This novella harkens back to classic sword-and-sorcery epic fantasy, with a modern flair (and fewer pages)… A new epic fantasy in an old style with a touch of humor and plenty of heart, Berry’s (THE NAMING SONG) series starter should appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett’s earlier ‘Discworld’ books or fans of the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.“—Library Journal
LONG ISLAND GIRLS by Gabrielle Korn | 9781250432223 | 6/23/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“This earnest genre shift from dystopian author, former Nylon editor-in-chief, and longtime staple of pop culture spaces is a nostalgic blast…Korn (YOURS FOR THE TAKING, 2023) explores the aftereffects of the sexual harassment and assaults that often accompany girlhood. While unflinching, the story is ultimately hopeful. Perfectly depicting every era of the 2000s and what it was like to come of age on the internet, this tenderly angsty novel is a delightful ode to the queer millennial experience.“—Booklist
OBSTETRIX by Naomi Kritzer | 9781250423375 | 6/9/26
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
