Displaying new releases at the beginnning of the month, with characters of color or that sfeature a diverse cast, is my only ongoing feature. Though recently I've considered stopping it, because each month I am missing a lot of titles. Not working in a bookstore anymore, I am out of the new release loop, and the lists are more incomplete then I would like. Though I will continue it for now
July New Releases (or at least this year)

Cornered: 14 Stories of Bullying and Defiance edited by Rhoda Belleza
The Letter Q:Queer Writers to their Younger Selves editied by Sarah Moon and James Lecesne (May)
Dark Companion by Marta Acosta
Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole
DOWN TO THE BONE is a lush book, but it's not new. It came out in 2008. But this looks as if it's being re-released, which is good news!
This edition seems to be written for an older audience with a lot of changes and updates, different from original, more literary. Supposed to be released July 10but I bought it at amazon, pre-ordered and arrived immediately. "Down to the bone" is even better the second time around.
