None other than Scientific American AND New Scientist, two of the most incredible science magazines out there, gave jellyfish a plug too.

If you want to have some books in mind the next time you find yourself in a bookstore, this one’s really a keeper, among them Paula Hawkins’ Into the Water, Roxane Gay’s Hunger, Jessmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing, Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach, Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere, Zinzi Clemens’ What We Lose, not to mention Toni Morrison and Hillary Clinton! I’ll start with the most surprising: Cosmopolitan’s list of “ 28 Books You Need to Read in 2017!” And it’s an absolutely incredible list. SPINELESS has also made it onto a few other lists for fall. UPDATE: And then Kirkus’ fabulous Megan Labrise interviewed me for this remarkable piece. And what’s more, the variety of places where SPINELESS is showing up is beyond my wildest dreams. I want to give an enormous thank you to my incomparable publicist Glory Anne Plata at Riverhead, who spread the news of SPINELESS far and wide.īack in August, Publisher’s Weekly gave SPINELESS a starred review! And then, they also put it on the list of “ Fall’s Most Anticipated Books.” Right next to Oliver Sacks! And I was so delighted when Kirkus Reviews–a magazine I get at home and read enviously (because I have wanted to be an author for so long)–published a truly beautiful write up. I’m going to give a rundown here, because each one of these shout-outs about jellyfish and our oceans’ health means so much to me. SPINELESS is out in the world, and it’s been getting some incredible coverage.
