Elizabeth Lim on Instagram: "🐠🧵🥜COVER REVEAL! 🥮💞   It is with great delight that I unveil the cover for FISHBONE CINDERELLA! When I was a new and unpublished author, a piece of advice stuck with me: “Write what you want to read.” There are two genres I grew up adoring and they are fantasy and historical fiction – especially multigenerational stories with messy family drama. Well, I’ve done a few of the former and I’d been itching to write a historical novel inspired by my grandmother’s life, but it took years before I felt I had honed my craft well enough to do the story justice. Now, Fishbone Cinderella is finally here, and I could not be happier or prouder of what it achieves. While the contents are yet to be uncovered by you, dear readers, I hope you will agree that the cover is gorgeous!! 🎨My deepest thanks to Lilitt Wang @lilittwang, the brilliant artist, for envisioning then rendering the perfect face for my book. I’d been hoping for a cover that was both enchanting yet also heartfelt, and as you can see, she nailed it. I must also thank Regina Flath @reginaflath, our art director and jacket designer, for her keen eye and tremendous framing for FISHBONE CINDERELLA! 📚Thank you to my editor, Tricia, and to my team at Del Rey for being supportive of my adult debut from the start. I can’t believe that in a little more than 6 months, this book will be out in the world, and I have them (and my agent Gina) to thank for that. 
 🌟 FISHBONE CINDERELLA is available for preorder, and I would love it if you’d consider reserving a copy in advance. Preorders are immensely helpful for authors, as they create buzz for a book pre-release and signal to bookstores that they ought to stock it! So please go forth and get a copy ☺️ It’s also available for request in @netgalley 💙 Links are in my story and bio I cannot wait to share more about this book with you! 🥰"

Perimeter Books on Instagram: "A small handful back in stock after the stacks of preorders were fulfilled — won’t last! Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos (Valiz, Amsterdam). /// Link to store in bio. /// Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos is a thematically ordered, inconclusive collection of queer, feminist and queer-feminist manifestos. Girls Like Us Magazine and author Sarah van Binsbergen have composed a publication showcasing the different forms a manifesto might have, from classical, activist formats to more poetic, associative texts. The manifestos highlighted in this book cross borders, forms and disciplines, refuse binary logics, transcend our concepts of time and space and surpass the neoliberal logic. Love & Lightning does not claim to be a complete anthology, but it rather aims to show the myriad of ways manifestos can be composed, and what their legacy until this day is. It presents manifestos from 1851 until now, divided into eleven chapters, introduced in their socio-historical and geographical contexts, with many from Asia, Africa, Latin-America. Not only does this publication give new insight in the style of the manifesto, it aims to emancipate the reader to propose their own revolution, whether big or small. #perimeterbooks @valiz_books_projects"

Maria Z. Medina on Instagram: "✨COVER REVEAL!✨ Introducing the cover of MAKER OF GODS, the second book of the MISTRESS OF BONES duology, on sale December 8th from @wednesdaybooks ! Isn't she absolutely gorgeous?? Thank you so much to my cover designer @kerriresnick and especially @afterblossom_art for the stunning art! You really brought my characters (and all the book-related little details!) to life ❤️ Red is very important in MAKER OF GODS, and it just happens to match perfectly with the first book. I am so proud with how this book turned out, and this cover is just the cherry on top. l can't wait to hold them together!! In the swashbuckling finale to the Mistress of Bones duology perfect for fans of The Bone Shard Daughter and Six of Crows, a necromancer and the God of Death must outwit the Gods themselves—or end the world trying. Necromancer Azul del Arroyo only wanted one thing: to steal her sister back from Death by reclaiming her sister's bones. But after inadvertently uncovering a plot to reawaken the gods and suffering a great loss, she feels further from her goal than ever. In exchange for a chance to save her sister, Azul's only choice is to work together with Death, now in Enjul's body, to uncover an underground group set on finding the rest of the gods in the blood-red city of Bremón. And with his mysterious motivations, silver tongue, and magnetic interest in Azul, Death does not make it easy. Determined to get revenge on the Faceless Witch, Nereida, the Count, and Esparza also find their way to Bremón to join Azul, only to discover that Death is not the only god who has already awakened...and the rest of the gods are not as merciful. Lies, games, and gods collide in Maria Z. Medina's masterful follow-up to Mistress of Bones, where the only thing stronger than the divine is human will. #yafantasybooks #fantasybooks #bookstagram #coverreveal"

Jane 미안 on Instagram: "Soyangri Book Kitchen by Kim Jee Hye (translated) Thank you SO much to the booksta friend who gifted me this from my wishlist 😭😭 -- I love this cover but I do wish it was more colorful like the international (?) version. I went into this, expecting the story to mostly follow Yoojin, similarly to Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop. But this is actually connecting short stories of different patrons. So, I felt very meh about Hyunam-dong. I definitely enjoyed Soyangri Book Kitchen a lot more, but I think the books have a lot of similarities too. I really loved Yoojin, even though we don't get as much of her as I would've liked. This book was overall, sweet and easygoing, even though some of the patrons are dealing with heavy hearts. A few parts had me a little bored, NGL lol. But I've been reading a lot of high stress books, so the drastic change up in pace wasn't easy to adjust to. I recommend when you want something to help slow you down, in thoughts and in life. Have you read this yet?"

PM Press on Instagram: "Abortion is care. Abortion is power. Abortion is joy. Don’t Breed on Me: A Short History of Abortion by Madeline Waugh Quasebarth is a defiant, funny, and unflinching dive into the millennia-long story of abortion—a practice as old as humanity and as contested as ever. From medieval Europe to Ming Dynasty China, from women enslaved in the American South to German nuns smuggling herbs, abortion has always been here. And so have the people who provided it. Rooted in global history, folklore, and fierce scholarship, Quasebarth’s book is as joyful as it is furious. She opens with a bang and doesn’t let up, threading together ancient remedies (like crocodile dung pessaries), feminist saints, lost abortifacients, and the enduring power of reproductive autonomy. Want to meet a medieval Italian surgeon who secretly performed abortions in a city that banned women from medicine? Or a Qing Dynasty widow who casually asks her lover for “red flower medicine” after a scandalous affair? Or a granny midwife dedicated to ensuring reproductive control for herself and her community? They’re here, and so are dozens of stories like them—buried, distorted, or erased by colonialism and patriarchy. Don’t Breed on Me is not just a book about abortion—it’s a call to remember, reclaim, and reframe. For students, activists, and anyone with a uterus (or who knows someone with one), this book is both an accessible introduction and a vital tool in the fight for reproductive justice.
