You're listening to All The More Books, a weekly show about everything books.

I'm your host, Liberty Hardy.

And today is Friday, February 13th, 2026.

And for this week's episode, I'm going to talk about several books that are in my orbit right now. So, hello, it's Friday the 13th. But it's not an unlucky Friday the 13th. It's lucky because we're going to discuss books. And by we, I mean me, because I guess it's a one-sided conversation. But I'm going to tell you about a ton of books.

But first, before I do that, I'm going to tell you about a few book-related things.

One being, that Book Riot is hiring a digital content specialist.

So if you love books, which I know that you do because you're listening to this podcast,

and if you know the ins and outs of social media strategy, especially social

video, which I don't know if you do, you should consider joining the team. We are committed

to building an inclusive workforce and strongly encourage applications from women, individuals

with disabilities, and people of color. You can find out more details and apply by February 15th,

2026, by visiting

riotnewmedia.com slash careers. That's riotnewmedia.com slash careers. And if you want to hear more

about new books, a few of which I will be mentioning after this, you can check it out in the new

release index. It's all in one convenient place.

It's Book Riot's curated database of new books organized by genre and release date.

The new release index is now included with your All Access membership, if you sign up for that.

So member perks just got even cooler. And if you're not an all-access member yet, you can head to

the link in the show notes at bookriot.com slash all the books and sign up today. And now we're

going to hear from a sponsor. Was the sphinx 10,000 years old? Were there serial killers in

ancient Greece and Rome? What were the lives of transgender, intersex, and non-binary people like in the ancient world?

We're Jen and Jenny from Ancient History Fan Girl.
