KT Hoffman recommends
This Princess Kills Monsters (2025)
Ry Herman
"Equal parts loving adaptation and wry satire of fairy tales both familiar and lesser known, This Princess Kills Monsters will charm readers from its first page to its final. Herman's characters are eminently memorable, their prose witty and their world vivid--a playful, thoughtful, and deeply unique book."
One on One (2024)
Jamie Harrow
"One on One is a perfect balance of the magic and the heartbreak that come alongside loving a sport - the way these teams and institutions shape and carry us, the ways they often fail us, and the difficulty of holding both sides at once. With quiet humor, a patient slow burn, and immense tenderness for Annie, Ben, and the team that brings them together, Harrow's debut is a beautiful ode to falling into trust and love in equal measure, and to taking up hard-won space."
The Art of Catching Feelings (2024)
Alicia Thompson
"Reading an Alicia Thompson book always feels like watching the most elegant of baseball plays - the kind of utter mastery that seems, deceptively, like ease. Explosive, subtle, and quick-witted all at once, Alicia's prose is as sharp as her characters are human, and Chris and Daphne's romance is a stunning portrayal of finding genuine joy and partnership at our lowest points. I didn't think it was possible to love baseball more than I already did, but The Art of Catching Feelings manages to capture everything that makes this sport and this genre special: flawlessly executed fundamentals, an impeccable balance of tension and release, and breath-stealing moments that stick in your chest long after the game, or book, ends."
