Ariel, your annual book roundup reads like a love letter to story itself. I admire how you balance joy and depth—moving from bloody revenge thrillers to bedtime picture books with equal reverence. Grayson is now at the top of my list thanks to your description. And Hungry Authors is on my desk already—thank you for pouring your best work into it. Your honest, emotionally alive writing always leaves me a little better than it found me.
Hello Ariel, This is a fabulous list. Wonderful descriptions. I am going to recommend this read on my blog, Janetsterkhealingjourneys.com And long overdue, I am going to order Hungry Authors. Can't wait to read it. So many books, so little time. I also sent you an email. I do not know how to contact you at Sourcebooks. Love you journeys in life. So much real talk, love and humor. Thank you. Hope you are well, Janet Sterk
Hungry Authors was one of my favorite reads of the year! And thank you for this recs, adding a few of these to my TBR list now. The inclusion of Dogman made me laugh, as my kids love that series so much that we took them to see not just one, but two musicals on it! They haven't read them in a while but just last night asked if we could go see the movie that's coming out soon!
Oh wow - I had no idea there is not just one but TWO musicals about Dog Man! I only knew about the books!! Great to know there's a whole world out there - hopefully our former foster son connects with it and finds joy there!

Wow, what a great compliment, thank you!
I loved the Little Liar! Mitch Albom is one of my favorite authors. Have you read Finding Chika?
Yes!! My husband and I listened to it on audio - we love it!

Dogman is a huge hit at our house. My boys each needed their own copies and we have all of them. I love that Dogman made your list.
