receive a lot of new and forthcoming books each month to be considered for review or inclusion on these lists. I give each title and author time and attention, but what I've realized is that it is damn near impossible for me to know about every book publishing every month—although I do try!—and I am bound to miss some. And now, to make up for it, I'm going to share some of those with you!
I'm calling these titles "Hidden Gems" because they really are wonderful— and important, and unique, and dynamic, and impassioned, and well-researched, and endlessly readable. The titles on this list meet the same criteria as my usual lists—new books being published by writers from historically underrepresented groups.
