Staff Picks: Morgan Vega Gomez’s Favorites
Hi! I’m Morgan, and I joined the PRH Publisher Services this year as a senior associate on the Client Operations team. PRHPS provides sales and distribution services to independent client publishers. Before joining PRHPS, I was the Sales and Marketing manager at one of our client publishers, No Starch Press. I grew up and live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. When I’m not working or reading, I’m writing young adult novels, running, kayaking, and rollerblading. I read a broad range of genres, from horror to romance to graphic novels and comics.

Add to BookshelfThe God of the Woods
by Liz Moore
I recently listened to the audiobook while training for my first marathon! This is a beautifully written, mysterious drama set at a summer camp in the ’70s. The story confronts classism, socioeconomic disparity, gender roles, and bias, and will have you analyzing its many flawed characters from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of character-driven stories.

Bunny
by Mona Awad
I’m definitely the target audience for this weird horror following a MFA student and the girls in her fiction writing cohort that call themselves the Bunnies. If you’re a fan of fever-dream narration, dark academia, and movies like The Craft, you might be the target audience for Bunny, too.

The Body Is Not an Apology, Second Edition
by Sonya Renee Taylor
One of my all-time favorite nonfictions. Sonya Renee Taylor defines intersectional feminism, names systems of oppression, and synthesizes social justice movements in a way I hadn’t read before in other texts. Even if you don’t consider yourself a nonfiction reader, this is a must-read!
