Couldn’t get around to reviewing a book this week, but my round-up of this week’s new releases is below. It’s also a new month at my Literate Lizard Online Bookstore, and this month’s featured theme is Fourth of July related: Move America Forward Again.

At The Literate Lizard, we do not believe that America has lost some vaguely-defined greatness that can only be regained by turning the clock back to a time of fewer rights and less diversity. We believe you can only understand and learn from the past by examining it fully and fearlessly, marvelling in the good while acknowledging the mistakes. We believe that our current challenges are best dealt with by an ever more diverse population that is well-educated, valued for who they are, secure in their personal rights and free to express themselves at the ballot box. And we believe that America moves forward not by fearfully longing for an imagined past, but by building on our very strengths of diversity, on the belief that equal protection under law should continue to be expanded, and that access to the ballot box be unfettered.

I’m still adding books to the lists, but the list of adult books is HERE, and of children’s books HERE. And remember, Kossacks get 15% off with the coupon code DAILYKOS at checkout. I thank the many here who have thrown some business my way.

The new edition of The Associated Press Stylebook: 2022-2024 is out today, and it’s always interesting to track how current events are incorporated. This new edition includes more than 300 new and revised entries, covering such topics as:

- A new chapter on inclusive storytelling: its importance and how to achieve it.

- Detailed guidance on writing about people with disabilities and disabled people.

- Many updates on immigration, the coronavirus, gender and race-related coverage, including the capitalization of Black and expanded use of singular they.

- A revised chapter on religion, with guidance on when Catholic rather than Roman Catholic should be used on first reference.

- A thoroughly updated chapter on using social media for reporting.
