LitHub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025

"I am forever changed after reading this book." --Javier Zamora, author of Solito

From the renowned Palestinian scholar, a memoir of political and queer awakening, of impossible love amidst generations of displacement, and what it means to return home.

Both a love story and a coming-of-age tale that spans countries and continents, Fire in Every Direction balances humor and loss, nostalgia and hope, as it takes us from the Middle East to London, and from 1948 to the present. Tareq Baconi crafts a deeply intimate, unforgettable portrait of how a political consciousness--desire and resistance--is passed down through generations. In 1948, Tareq's grandmother, Eva, would flee Haifa as Zionist militias seized the city. In the late 1970s, she would flee Beirut with her daughter, Rima, as the country was in the throes of a civil war. In Amman, the family would eventually obtain the comfort of middle class life--still, a young Tareq would feel trapped: by cultures of silence, by a sense of not belonging, by his own growing awareness that he is in love with his childhood best friend, Ramzi. After relocating to London for college, Tareq hopes to put aside his past, and begins to work through an understanding of self as a queer man. Yet as the Iraq War radicalizes young people around the world towards anti-war protest, history comes back to him: hushed whispers overheard, stories of his mother's years as an activist in Beirut and her return to Palestine during a moment of calm. Living between the region and London, Tareq fits in neither and feels alienated from both. Queerness is policed back in Amman, just as his Palestinian-ness is abroad. These gradual estrangements escalate, forcing him to grapple with what it means to live in liminal spaces, and rethink the meaning of home. Eventually, tracing the journey of his family before him, Tareq returns to Palestine. This is an account of finding oneself through histories of dispossession and reclaiming what has been silenced.

Gucci Mane, one of hip-hop's most iconic figures and a trailblazer in Atlanta's rap culture, reveals his struggles with mental health and drug addiction that will provide fans and readers with insights into his career and life.

As one of hip-hop's legendary figures and an indispensable fixture in Atlanta's vibrant rap culture, Gucci was on an upswing in his career when he sold his debut memoir, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane in 2016. He had just been released from prison, sporting a slimmer physique and health-conscious diet; he announced his ninth album, the platinum-selling Everybody Looking; and became the face of a global campaign with the luxury Italian designer that inspired his name and persona. But underneath all that, he was hiding some of his darkest struggles from the world. Now he is ready to tell his full story.

In Episodes, Gucci revisits his life and shares what was really going on for the first time. The mental anguish, the pitfalls, the triggers no one speaks about. Each episode is Gucci experiencing something--something you may remember from the news or even heard in his music--and giving you the background of where he was mentally. He reveals how his fascination with money got the worst of him, why he committed certain crimes, the story behind his ice cream cone tattoo, and how his wife felt watching him overdose. Along the way, he interviews medical professionals and mental health experts to provide insight into mental health awareness.

Episodes is Gucci's way of reaching beyond the "each one, teach one" approach of discussing mental illness behind closed doors, opting instead to cultivate a discourse amongst a culture that, while steadily improving how it regards mental health, still stigmatizes public discussions around the topic. This compelling memoir sheds light on both his inner struggles and his triumphs, offering an unflinching account of a man who defied the odds to leave a lasting legacy on music, culture, and conversations around mental health.

For the first printing only! This paperback features sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts.

An instant New York Times bestseller!

From Printz Honor-winning and New York Times bestselling author Julie Berry, a true-crime-nail-biter-turned-mythic-odyssey pitting Jack the Ripper against Medusa. "A powerful exploration of human connection during nightmarish times" (Kirkus Reviews).

It's autumn 1888, and Jack the Ripper is on the run. As London police close in, he flees England for New York City seeking new victims. But a primal force of female vengeance has had enough. With serpents for hair and a fearsome gaze, an awakened Medusa is hunting for one thing: Jack.

And other dangers lurk in Manhattan's Bowery. Salvation Army volunteers Tabitha and Pearl discover that a girl they once helped has been forced to work in a local brothel. Tabitha's an upstate city girl with a wry humor and a thirst for adventure, while farmgirl Pearl takes everything with stone-cold seriousness.

Improve your lifelong health and well-being by understanding what mitochondria really do for you, and how through small lifestyle changes, these awe-inspiring powerhouses can better your life.

Have you ever wondered what makes every heartbeat, every thought, and every movement possible? Meet your mitochondria--tiny but mighty organelles that are the true engines of life. These organelles are popularly known as the "powerhouses of the cell," but new research shows that the mitochondria do more than just convert food into energy--they're orchestrators of critical functions that keep you healthy and alive.

This groundbreaking book by a leading scientist from Stanford University School of Medicine and her husband, a bestselling author, is the first to provide a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand look at mitochondria and their vital role in human health. It is based on the premise that healthy mitochondria are the key to healthy cells and, thus, to healthy tissues, healthy organs, and a healthy body. The Life Machines provides practical and fundamental principles that you can use to unlock your body's full potential, answering questions like:

-How does exercise help mitochondria improve your muscles and your brain?
-What nutrients do mitochondria thrive on, and how is your gut microbiome involved?
-How can developing better sleeping habits improve your mitochondrial health?
-Why relaxing and managing stress will reduce damage to your mitochondria?
-How can you protect your mitochondria from toxins in the environment?
-Why mitochondria are the key to healthy aging

We are only as healthy as our mitochondria. Dysfunction of these organelles has been linked to diseases and conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, depression, autism spectrum disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infertility. Now, the remarkable progress in understanding the mitochondrial role in these ailments will shape the future of medicine.

Packed with surprising facts, you'll read about "mitochondrial Eve" who lived in Africa 200,000 years ago; tiny rotors that spin inside your body at fantastic speed; how cancer cells steal mitochondria from immune cells; how mitochondria help shape a baby's fingers and brain; how mitochondria in your thighs are linked to your cognitive capacity, and more.

Skillfully weaving cutting-edge scientific discoveries, expert testimonies, personal stories, and practical insights, The Life Machines is inspiring and hopeful, empowering you to adopt lifestyle changes that will benefit the smallest--and yet most crucial--parts of the human body.

"What's next?"

For Tony Truman, that question was a life sentence. From the dusty baseball diamonds of Queens to the smoke-filled hallways of the World Trade Center, and finally to the highest corridors of power, Tony spent eighty years trying to outrun the silence of his own history.

A promising pitcher whose dreams were shattered by a single pitch, a soldier haunted by the ghosts of war, and a cop who realized the law is a tourniquet, Tony never stopped trying to write a better draft of a world that refused to stay fixed. Through every uniform he wore, one constant remained: Leyna, the woman who provided the quiet when the noise of the world became too loud.

But power comes at a price that no budget can balance. Now, as the years fold like paper and his own memories begin to fade, Tony must confront the one rule every writer hates to admit: No matter how much power you hold, you cannot edit the past, and you cannot rewrite the final act.

The Last Draft is a sweeping American epic about the artifacts we carry, the legacies we leave behind, and the courage it takes to finally put the pen down.

Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior.

As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.
