Barnes & Noble Pre-Order Sale
So. Though almost all of my posts have ended up being about video games, I read more than I play games.
Barnes & Noble has a pre-order sale going on. Just sign up to become a Rewards Member (for free) and pre-order between June 23 (now) and June 26 with the promo code PREORDER25 for 25% off. Premium Members get an additional 10% off too.
I'm recommending some books that I really want to check out:
Meet Me at Midnight by Brianna Bourne (who was nice enough to blurb The Lost Souls of Benzaiten): a YA speculative romance
The MASH Up by Laura Marie Meyers: an adult novel about a grown woman who makes a wish and ends up in a M.A.S.H. game; anyone remember M.A.S.H.?
Everything to the Sea by Alicia Upano (who was born and raised in Hawaiʻi): an adult novel about two people in Hawaiʻi experiencing a tsunami
Hijacked by Goats by Ann Braden: a middle-grade novel about a girl struggling with OCD
The Continuation of Summer Dillon by Sarah Everett: a middle-grade novel about an android girl
American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee (author of Pachinko): an adult novel about a family upended by the 1997 Asian financial crisis
The Wild Zone by Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh: a middle-grade novel taking place in the world of Percy Jackson
Everything’s Not Lost by Frederick Joseph: a young-adult novel about a Black girl struggling with bipolar disorder and grief
Love, Like Apples by Jeff Zentner (who very kindly blurbed The Yomigaeri Tunnel): an adult novel following a man through the 1970s into the present
Something Bright and Beautiful by Cathryn Free: a young-adult novel in the vein of Sarah Dessen (who just released a book earlier this year, by the way: Change of Plans)
The Lost Life of Sylvia Song by Ann Liang (who also very kindly blurbed The Yomigaeri Tunnel): a young-adult speculative novel about grief and love
We Run the Night by Peace Mbengei: a wonderfully vivid horror young-adult Soho Teen book that I got to blurb
Also eligible for the pre-order sale: my adult debut, Milkiverse. Here's a beautiful graphic that my publisher, Soho Press, posted:
Okay, that's all.
