    How Rebecca Yarros Packed Dragons, Magic and Steamy Sex Into a Blockbuster Fantasy

    When Rebecca Yarros pitched her publisher a sexy fantasy about telepathic dragons and their riders, she thought it might be a tough sell.

    Opinion | What I Read to My Son When the World Is on Fire

    Last May, my husband and I invited a Palestinian friend for Shabbat dinner, and when he asked what to bring, I requested a book about his homeland for our 7-year-old son.

    Native American Novels, Recommended by Indigenous Booksellers
