Hi everyone. I'm rincey and i am one of the contributing editors over at book riot.
I'm back with another new released Tuesday video. We're talking about books
that are coming out on Tuesday, July 31st. So the first book that I have for you
guys is the incendiaries by R.O. Kwon, which has a great graphic cover. I have
been drawn to this book since I first heard about it / seen it just because
the cover looks super great and also the author's photograph is super like badass.
So I highly recommend looking that up, too, if you feel like it. Anyways.
Phoebe Lin and Will Kendall meet at their first month at the prestigious Edwards
University. Phoebe is a glamorous girl who doesn't tell anyone that she blames
herself for her mother's recent death. Will is a misfit scholarship kid who has
recently transferred to Edwards from a Bible School and waits tables just to
be able to get by. What he knows for sure is that he loves Phoebe. Grieving and
guilt ridden, Phoebe is drawn to this extremely religious group which is like
this secret cult that was founded by a former student. He has an enigmatic past
that is connected to North Korea and Phoebe's Korean American family.
Meanwhile, Will struggles to confront the fundamentalism that he has tried to
escape and the obsession that is currently consuming the one that he
loves. When the group bombs several buildings in the name of faith,
killing five people, Phoebe disappears. Will devote himself
into finding her, tilting into obsession himself, seeking answers to what happened
to Phoebe and whether or not she could have been responsible for these bombings.
So this is a kind of buzzy literary fiction book that has been on a number
of most anticipated lists including like the New York Times and Entertainment
Weekly and is being described as a powerful darkly glittering tale of
faith, love, violence and loss. So if you are a fan of literary fiction, if you
enjoy fiction that dives into cults and similar religious extremism,
then you should pick up The Incendiaries by R.O. Kwon.
On the other end of the spectrum, I have A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole.
This is the second book in The Reluctant Royals series. New York City socialite
and perpetual hot mess Portia Hobbs is tired of disappointing her family,
friends and herself. An apprenticeship with a struggling swords maker in
Scotland gives her the opportunity to use her expertise and see what she's
capable of. Turns out she excels at aggravating her
gruff, silver fox boss when she's not having inappropriate fantasies about him.
Tavish McKenzie doesn't need a rich, spoiled American telling him how to run
his armory, even if she's aggravatingly good at it.
Tav tries to rebuff his apprentice and his attraction to her. But when Portia
realizes that he's the secret son of a Duke, rough-around-the-edges Tav
becomes Portia's latest makeover project. So I'm someone who doesn't read a whole
lot of romance novels. But I read the first book in this series, a princess in
theory, and absolutely loved it so so much. So I've been highly anticipating
the second book in this series. And if you have been as well,
a Duke by Default is now out. Alright next I have a gentleman's murder by
Christopher Huang. The year is 1924. The cobblestone streets of St. James ring
with jazz as Britain races forward into an age of peace and prosperity.
London's back alleys however are filled with broken soldiers and are still in
shadowed by the lingering effects of the Great War. Only a few years removed from
the trenches himself, Lieutenant Eric Peterkin has just been granted
membership in the most prestigious soldiers-only club in London. But when a
gentleman's wager ends with a member stabbed to death, the victims last words
echo in the lieutenant's head. That he would "soon write a great wrong
from the past." Eric is certain that one of his fellow members is the murderer,
but who? And his investigation will draw him far from the marbled halls of the
Britannia to the shadowy remains of a dilapidated war hospital and the heroin
dens of the Limehouse. So a gentlemen's murder in general sounds like a really
interesting historical mystery, but it also
just got recently option to be made into, I believe, a TV show. I know it just got
optioned, but I don't remember if it's a movie or TV show. But I feel like it's a
TV show. Yeah so that's why it ended up getting on my radar. So if you want to be
ahead of the curve and read the book before the show comes out, then you can
go ahead and pick up a gentleman's murder. Alright next I have a nonfiction
book for you guys and that is American Apartheid: the Native American struggle
for self-determination and inclusion. This book is by Stephanie Woodward who
has spent the last handful of years reporting on various Native American
events that have been occurring throughout the United States. So in
recent years, events like at the siege at Standing Rock and the North American
pipeline access have a thrust Native Americans into the public consciousness.
And so in this book Stephanie Woodward sort of takes us beyond the headlines
and looks at the issues and threats that Native Americans face today, as well as
their heroic efforts to overcome that. She talks about how the federal government
as well as state and counties have curtailed efforts to allow Native
Americans to vote, which in turn keeps them from being a part of the
conversation around policy decisions, education, employment, rural
transportation, infrastructure and all of these other major and critical issues
that impact their communities. So if you are someone who is interested in Native
American culture and the struggles that they're facing in the United States
today, I think that this would be a really good sort of like nonfiction
pairing if you really enjoyed There There by Tommy Orange to see sort of
like what's really happening right now in the United States and the fights that
they're currently pursuing. Then you can pick up American apartheid by Stephanie Woodward.
Alright next I have fruit of the drunken tree by Ingrid Rojas
Contreras. Seven-year-old Chula and her older sister Cassandra enjoy carefree
lives thanks to their gated community in Bogota. But the threat of kidnapping, car
bombs and assassinations lie right outside their neighborhood walls. Where
the godlike drug lord pablo escobar continues to elude authorities and
captures the attention of the nation. When their mother hires Patrona,
a live-in maid from the gorilla controlled neighborhoods of the
city, Chula makes it her mission to understand Petrona's mysterious ways.
But Petrona's unusual behavior is more than just shyness, she's a young woman
crumbling under the burden of providing for her family as the riptides of first
love pulls her in the opposite direction. As both girls' families
struggle to maintain stability as conflict continues to rise in the area,
they find themselves entangled in a web of secrecy that forces them to choose
between sacrifice and betrayal. So this is a debut novel that is inspired by the
author's real life and contrasts two very different but inexplicably linked
coming-of-age stories. And again that's fruit of the drunken tree by ingrid
rojas contreras. Alright next up I have a young adult fantasy book that is also
kind of a fairy tale retelling and that is sea witch by Sara Henning. Ever since
her best friend Anna died, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town.
Hiding her talents, mourning her loss, drowning in guilt. Then a girl with an
uncanny resemblance to Anna shows up on shore. And the two girls catch the eyes
of two charming princes. Suddenly Evie feels like she has her own chance at a
happily ever after. But magic isn't kind and her new friend harbor secrets of
her own. She can't stay in town or on two legs without Evie's help. When Evie
reaches deep into the power of her magic in order to save her friend and her
prince's heart, she discovers too late what she bargained away. So this is a
book that is being described as Wicked meets The Little Mermaid and it's an
origin story for a villain who might seem slightly familiar. And is being
described as perfect for fans of Heartless by Marissa Meyer or Dorothy
Must Die. So if you enjoy fairy tale retellings or if you enjoy sort of like
these villain backstories, which is something that I always really enjoy
seeing, then you can pick up a sea witch by Sara Henning. Alright and the final
book of that I have for you guys is the body's not big enough for both of us by
Edgar Cantero. In a dingy office in Fisherman's Wharf, the glass panel in the
door bears the names of A. Kimrean and Z. Kimrean, private eyes. Behind the door,
there is only one desk, one chair, one scrawny
androgynous p.i in a tank top and a skimpy waistcoat. A.Z., as they are
collectively known, are twin brother and sister. He's pure misanthropic logic.
She's a wild hedonistic creativity. The Kimrean's had been a locked in constant
battle since they were in utero, which is tricky because they very literally share
the same body. So in this book, someone is murdering the sons of the
ruthless drug cartel known as Lyons. And the notorious A.Z. Kimrean must infiltrate
Lyons' inner circle in order to find out who is targeting his heirs. And while
they're at it, rescue an undercover cop who has gone
in too deep, deal with a plucky young a stowaway, and stop a major gang war from
engulfing California. So Edgar Cantero wrote the book meddling kids, which I
have not read yet but I've heard everyone described it as being like just
completely bonkers. And so this one sounds like it's going to be of the same
vein. So if you read meddling kids and really enjoyed it, then you can pick up
this body's not big enough for both of us. So that's everything that I have
for this week. Leave a comment down below letting me know what you plan on picking
up. There are a lot of good books out this week. I had a hard time picking
which ones I was going to talk about in this video without it turning into a 20
minute video. So leave a comment letting me know what you plan on picking up,
especially if it's one that I haven't talked about here. Otherwise I will see
you guys again next week with another new release video. Bye.
