Rainbow Rainbow by Lydia Conklin   

“Throughout, Conklin is gracefully multi-note as they reveal the complexities of queer relationships, always allowing their characters to be themselves." —Library Journal  

Secret City by James Kirchick

“Kirchick’s history is an inspiring and overdue tribute to the brave individuals who fought for acceptance in a city and government long pitted against them.” —Booklist

Walk the Vanished Earth by Erin Swan

“Though the shifting planets and timelines bring to mind the novels of Ursula K. Le Guin, N.K. Jemisin and David Mitchell . . . Swan has fashioned a deeply original story that reflects on America’s founding myths, the climate damage wrought by all of us, and the many unknowns of the century ahead.” —Chicago Review of Books

An Olive Grove in Ends by Moses McKenzie

“Beautiful . . . McKenzie renders the neighborhood’s rich and complicated social and familial networks as a study in contrasts, where violence and betrayal coexist with generosity and kindness . . . An Olive Grove in Ends exhibits both a tenderness for the residents and an unflinching examination of their struggles . . . a gorgeous debut that nurtures an unlikely sort of hope.”—Publishers Weekly
