The Last American Road Trip (2025)
by Sarah Kendzior
The book chronicles a journey Kendzior takes with her two kids, traveling across the United States so they can experience the nation’s beautiful landscapes and landmarks firsthand.

Banning Books in America: Not a How-To (2026)
by Samuel Cohen
Cohen is as a professor at the University of Missouri and one of his courses, Reading Literature: Banned Books, helped with inspiration for his book. Cohen incorporated the course syllabus into his essay in Banning Books in America: Not a How-To.

The essay’s overarching theme is understanding the history and present-day reality of book banning in America.
How to Disappear and Why (2026)
by Kyle Minor

The Last Beekeeper (2023)
by Julie Carrick Dalton
The Last Beekeeper is Dalton’s dystopian novel where bees have become extinct, leading to the destabilization of global food security. It follows Sasha Severn, who returns to her childhood farm and discovers a bee — leading her to uncover her father’s secrets. Dalton’s idea behind the story came from an experience she had as a beekeeper, when about 40,000 of her honey bees were poisoned by a neighbor’s lawn product that carried a toxic chemical.
Jackal (2022)
by Erin E. Adams
Adams reignited her love for writing after finishing college, when she wrote her debut horror novel, Jackal. It captures a society tainted by racism and tragedy. In the book, a young, Black woman named Liz returns to her hometown in the Rust Belt and works to solve the mystery of Black girls going missing, one of whom is her friend’s daughter.
A Dream in Which I Am Playing With Bees (2024)
by RK Fauth
Fauth’s latest book is her first collection of poetry, A Dream in Which I Am Playing With Bees. The poems use metaphors and images which “otherwise could not exist, at least not in the same way, if bees were to go extinct.” Writing was a demanding process for Fauth. They had to produce a manuscript of 70 pages of poems within six weeks to be considered for a poetry competition, buying an armchair to help fuel their writing process. She decided on a writing prompt by starting with bees as the subject, then asking herself: “What are the poems I could not write if there were no bees?”
