Catch up quick with the bookish news of the past few days ... or take a deeper dive into each story. Your choice!

  • More works by author Fang Fang, who reported on the early COVID quarantine in Wuhan, China, are being published in English now: the 2016 novel Soft Burial, which has been blacklisted in her home country, and The Running Flame, which hasn't been republished since Fang began reporting on COVID (NPR). 

  • Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros was greeted with great enthusiasm in the UK, too (The Guardian).
