We are in the thick of Fall books season, and it shows.
There are so many amazing new queer books out in fall 2024, from cozy sapphic fantasy to trans gothic horror to gay sci-fi and more. I’ve highlighted the ten biggest and buzziest releases of September, October, and November below, mostly from authors you already know and love. This is the perfect time to preorder your favorites, or you can place your library holds now to make sure you’re at the top of the list.
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15 and focuses on Americans with ties to the Caribbean, Spain, Mexico, and Central and South America. I love that we designate time to learn about our Latine homies, but when I tell you how ridiculous it is that the majority of schools in the U.S. teach virtually nothing about the contributions of non-white people to the nation’s history—it’s beyond ridiculous, even. The more I learn about American history that involves BIPOC people positively, the more it’s clear how intentional the exclusion is. Which is, of course, why Heritage Month exists.
Today, we have a couple of new graphic novels and comics out this week, plus recommendations for graphic novels about magic. Let’s dive in!

I’m reviewing children’s books about volcanoes plus two excellent new releases.

This is where to get started with today’s best cli-fi authors.
