"July may be almost over and most of the Best Books of the Year (So Far) lists may have come and gone (including our own), but we have some more recommending to do. If you're new here, welcome to Riot Roundup! This is where we ask our contributors to share the best books that they read in the last few months. These don't have to be new books, either: whether it's frontlist, backlist, or an upcoming release, we just want to know what books kept our folks turning those pages.
This edition of Riot Roundup includes historical fiction featuring a badass lady pirate; essays by disabled parents; a gloriously queer and messy coming-of-age story; Egyptian-inspired high fantasy; the racial origins of fat phobia, and more. There's something here for all readers! Go on and find your next favorite read."
