Book Riot | April 9, 2026

De Robertis has achieved something exceptional with Cantoras by writing about what it was like to live in Uruguay’s dictatorship through the lives of five gay women who are looking for family, solace, love, safety, and freedom. Reading this during the current downfall of democracy in the U.S. was alarming but also hopeful. There is a beautiful spirit woven throughout the entire novel about creating family, enduring, finding/making a refuge, and what the future can be. Very few books have left me holding them as if to hug them into my body forever the way Cantoras did. And for all the sprinkles on top, De Robertis beautifully narrates the audiobook.

I loved May Cobb’s The Hunting Wives (now deservingly an HBO series), so believe me when I tell you that her latest novel, a salaciously unhinged interpretation of Little House On The Prairie set in 1980s Texas, may be the best thing she’s ever written!

Faith Erin Hicks’ new book InBetweens is not a memoir. She wants to be clear on that. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have memoir-ish aspects.

“It is based very, very loosely on my experience going to a high pressure animation college in Ontario,” says the Vancouver-based artist. “The characters are younger than I was. I decided to make them younger because I wanted there to be the tension of 'is this the path for me?'"

'All the Little Houses' by May Cobb

It's the mid-1980s in Longview, Texas and Nellie Anderson — the beautiful heir of the Anderson family dynasty — can get anything she wants. And what she can’t get, her mother handles for her.

After all, Charleigh Anderson remembers what it was like to claw her way from being an outcast on the poor side of East Texas to where she is now. But when a new family comes to town — trad wife, woodworking dad, wholesome daughter — Charleigh finds herself fighting for the future of her social empire.

This Here Is Love
Princess Joy L. Perry

Princess Joy L. Perry’s debut novel is a sweeping, intimate exploration of love, power, and survival in late seventeenth-century Virginia. Honorée Fanonne Jeffers describes the book as “the tenderest of prose and the most compelling of storytelling.” Perry interweaves the lives of Bliss, the last surviving child of her enslaved mother; David, the son of a man who dreams of emancipation; and Jack Dane, a Scottish-Irish child sold into indentured servitude. As their lives collide, the novel asks what love can endure—and what freedom truly means.

All the Little Houses
By May Cobb
January 20, 2026

Sourcebooks Landmark: “It’s the mid-1980s in the tiny town of Longview, Texas. Nellie Anderson, the beautiful daughter of the Anderson family dynasty, has burst onto the social scene, and she always gets what she wants. What she can’t get for herself? Well, that’s what her mother, the blonde, beautiful, and ruthlessly cunning Charleigh Anderson, is for. Because Charleigh remembers all too well having to claw her way to the top. And now that she’s there, she refuses to let anyone stand in her way. But during the span of a scorching, unrelenting summer, a new family arrives, and the back-to-nature prairie vibes of the Swifts quickly enchant most of Longview, threatening to take down the self-made social empire Charleigh has crafted in this corner of East Texas. Charleigh will stop at nothing to stay on top, unaware that she is outsmarting herself, setting a deadly trap that might undermine everything.”

For a twisted mystery inspired by ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ try:

‘All The Little Houses’ by May Cobb

May Cobb is beloved for her wild Texas-set thriller The Hunting Wives—now a hit Netflix series—and her new novel is brimming with her signature deliciously wicked drama. It’s the mid-1980s in Long View, Texas, and Nellie Anderson and her mother, Charleigh, are used to getting anything they want. But when a wholesome new family moves to town, their carefully constructed social empire is suddenly threatened. When we sat down with Cobb a couple of months ago, she described the book as “my twisted wink and nod to Little House on the Prairie.”

What early readers are saying: “Cobb delivers a gripping, darkly entertaining look at a toxic mother-daughter relationship like you’ve never seen before. Told in her signature multi-POV style, the story takes the reader to East Texas in the ’80s, where ‘small town drama’ is an understatement.”

Texas Monthly | January 1, 2026

Before last summer, May Cobb was the moderately successful author of a handful of East Texas–set thrillers. Now she’s riding the wave of a hit TV show about some of the cruelest women you’ve ever seen.

May Cobb always wanted to be a writer, but the bestseller list didn’t seem a likely destination. The 52-year-old Longview native’s early instincts were hardly commercial. She studied Victorian literature for her master’s at San Francisco State University, and her main passion project was a biography of the blind jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
