Charles Cumming’s BOX 88, the first book in his new Lachlan Kite series, has received starred reviews from Booklist (“[A] compelling thriller…threading coming-of-age themes into a complex espionage plot …that suggests there will be much more to discover within the recesses of BOX 88”), Kirkus (“The plot…is intricate but coherent, taking readers down a chilling road of recent history, vividly depicted.

The gold standard in espionage fiction”), and Publishers Weekly (“Well-timed action scenes match focused glimpses into the world of spycraft.

Publishers Weekly awarded Grace Farris’ upcoming MOM MILESTONES a starred review, raving: "[A] clever illustrated take on first-time motherhood... Farris successfully upends the idea of a baby milestone tracker by turning it into an often amusing but sincere and affirming take on motherhood. This is a no-brainer for parents of all experience levels." Publishers Weekly also featured Farris in their recurring “PW Talks” Q&A feature. On the subject of adding “light-heartedness…to the intense experiences of first-time motherhood,” Farris said: “There’s a lot of stuff that you experience in isolation when you’re going through early motherhood, and you think that you’re experiencing something that’s very unique. But really, a lot of it is universal. The cheerful drawings and humor are a way to find a bright side in some of the stuff that can be really demoralizing about becoming a new mom.” Workman Publishing Company will publish the book on March 29, 2022.

ON FREEDOM by Maggie Nelson is one of the LA Times’ “5 Best Books of 2021 According to Jessica Ferri.” Ferri writes: "Nelson, quite simply one of the best writers and thinkers we’ve got, explores the title concept through four spheres: art, drugs, sex and climate. But at its heart this is a book about abolition — more specifically the abolition of the policing of our own minds. Nothing could be more radical, as we navigate the last two years of continued racial violence and a pandemic, than her idea that 'no one is disposable.'" ON FREEDOM was also featured on Lit Hub's “Ultimate Best Books of 2021 List.”
