Raybearer and Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko

If you’re looking for engrossing, high-stakes fantasy, you need this emotionally rich, gorgeously written novel. It’s about about power that winds up being about love, sacrifice, honor, and family— that we choose and are given. Raybearer is absolutely brilliant, gripping, and one-of-a-kind. I couldn’t wait to read more from this author, and luckily the sequel is …

Every Body Looking by Candice Iloh

A gripping, propulsive free verse novel that addresses the first year of college in a way I haven’t seen but absolutely loved: through exploration of self-love, overcoming trauma, trusting one’s instincts, questioning the socially-normalized paths, and pursuing passion. I hope adults and teens will read and discuss together. (It should be required reading for any …

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

The cathartic power of righteous anger is usually overlooked, but not this book! This book is all about righteous anger. One young woman is born with a coveted power, and with that power she works to avenge not only her sister, but also all young women who are being sacrificed in the dystopia she lives …

Whose Names Are Unknown
by Sanora Babb

Babb is the one of the greatest American writers you’ve never heard of, and her novel, Whose Names Are Unknown, is (until recently) an unsung masterpiece. Babb turned in this manuscript to her publisher at the same time John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath hit the shelves, and as a result, it went unpublished until …

Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid by Thor Hanson

I couldn’t put this down! With clear prose and accessible explanations, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid delves into the fascinating science of climate change biology. While Hanson doesn’t shy away from the very real dangers of the climate crisis, he’s never bleak. Rather, he stresses that the myriad responses of different plants and animals (including …

Artie and the Wolf Moon cover

Artie And The Wolf Moon
by Olivia Stephens

I’m so excited to share this graphic novel with customers– it’s exciting, tender, beautifully rendered in every way. It works well for middle schoolers and high schoolers, plus all the adults who enjoy family drama, origin stories, and the paranormal. Bonus: When you read this, you support a debut, local author! — Tegan Tigani, Queen …

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

This is a horror book that will pull you and won’t let you go until long after you finish it. This story has so much heart, empathy and compassion. Not to mention a quirky POV from a very religious cat named Olivia. If you’re new to the horror genre, this is a good place to …

There’s No Such Thing as an Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura

I loved this! The oddball narrator might have been irritating if I didn’t find her so relatable–her musings/fixations/insights felt like gentle personal attacks, and they often left me snorting out loud. Read, cringe, and carefully consider whether you’re a moderate or radical rice cracker company worker. It’s important, probably. –Ellen, Queen Anne Book Company, Seattle, …
