The River Has Roots by Amal El-MohtarI use up all my superlatives whenever I review anything by Amal El-Mohtar, whose prose is always exquisite and imaginative, flowing like syrup. In the case of 2025’s The River Has Roots, the hardcopy version of El-Mohtar’s lovely, original fairy tale is enhanced by woodcut-style illustrations. The story is short, novella-length, and draws on familiar elements, but the themes of the river and music form the story’s main currents, which drew me in immediately.

Usually, I do a roundup of some of the most notable book club-friendly books coming out each month at the beginning of the month, but I’m switching things up a bit for March. I thought that this roundup could be more reflective than prescient, and it’s a little more convenient for readers since all the books should be out. The books below are ones that I’ve heard all manner of book people talk about, recommend, and review, and they’re perfect for book club conversations.

There's 1 day left in the @locusmag funding drive, & if you're able to kick any support their way I'd love if you did; there's nothing else like Locus, I've been a subscriber for years, & their reviews & reporting & interviews are superb. https://t.co/HeYCc0fntt
