Heavy Thrusting Swords aren’t a weapon class that many Elden Ring players talk about. The lunges, stabs, and thrusts of the weapon are much slower than the lighter variant of the swords, and there aren’t many unique weapons that stand out in the class. Shadow of the Erdtree adds a flashy new Heavy Thrusting Sword to the roster with the Sword Lance.

Welcome to Today in Books, where we report on literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. You’re expecting this to be a story about the latest TikTok romantasy hit, aren’t you? The clock app may be hogging headlines with stories about dragon riders who do it, but it’s Freida McFadden’s thrillers that are dominating bestseller lists. McFadden, a physician who writes under a pseudonym to protect her relationship with her patients, self-published for a decade before signing a deal with Sourcebooks’s Poisoned Pen Press. Her 23 (!) books have sold more than 6 million copies, making her the fastest-selling thriller writer in the U.S., outpacing heavy hitters James Patterson, David Baldacci, and John Grisham, who all show up beneath her on current sales charts. The New York Times‘s Alexandra Alter details McFadden’s rise in a new profile, which also hints at fascinating tidbits about Sourcebooks’s strategy. Now, my kingdom for a piece about the enduring appeal of the self-pub-to-traditional-deal pipeline.

The Silence in Between by Josie Ferguson review – love in a fractured city

The late Tom Clancy was the undisputed master of the techno-thriller. For decades, he charmed readers with his intricate plots and deep understanding of military technology and espionage. His passion for all things martial shines through in his work, particularly in his description of geopolitical conflicts and the nuances of intelligence operations. His books can get quite farfetched, and sometimes the descriptions are overbearing, but he certainly knew how to spin a yarn.

The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

If you’re a TikTok user, chances are you’ve stumbled upon the wonderful world of BookTok; a corner of the internet where creators share their book recommendations, dreamcast, and more. Fashion Is Going Literary



One author who dominates BookTok is Freida McFadden, a thriller author who also works as a physician and specializes in brain injury. Readers who prefer gripping, unputdownable fiction books often turn to McFadden for their thriller fix, and it’s easy to see why. With an extensive catalog of books that include plenty of shocking twists and too-close-to-home horrors, McFadden has earned her title of BookTok royalty. 



“[BookTok has] been amazing,” she told shereads in a September 2023 interview. “I wish I could say I was instrumental in making this happen, but it was all luck—writing a book that resonated with the right people. As for me, I sort of know how to use TikTok.  I know how to log in.”Girl Bosses Walked So Ambition Monsters Could Realize 'Everything Is Bullshit'

Goodreads has temporarily disabled rating and reviewing Hillbilly Elegy, the memoir of republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance. As first reported by 404 Media, users who try are met with a popup letting them know they can’t. “This book has temporary limitations on submitting ratings and reviews,” the popup says. “This may be because we’ve detected unusual behavior that doesn’t follow our review guidelines.”

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s midyear check-in time, and in all corners of the bookish internet, we’re taking a look back at the first half of 2024 in new releases. The “Best Books of the Year So Far” lists are piling up — in fact, they started about a month before the halfway point of the year. This is a great way to get an overview of the very buzziest titles, but that only scratches the surface of the incredible books in a wide range of formats and genres that have come out this year. That’s why it can be more useful to seek out round up lists of the genres, formats, and topics you’re most interested in as a reader, like the best queer books of the year so far.

The Best Historical Fiction of 2024 So Far, According to Goodreads

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “Ace Atkins’s killing honesty sets a new standard for Southern crime fiction.”. “As in his spy novels, Kanon demonstrates a mastery of closed-in drama. Such is the jabbing understatement of the dialogue—what’s withheld matters more than what’s said—that it holds you in suspense as much as any action scene. The contrast between his impeccable control and the nightmarish chaos of this time and place gives things a powerful edge. Kanon goes to China with stirring results.”
