What are we recommending this week? The New Guard Vol. VII, a collection of short pieces, poetry, and stories. There's something in this volume for everyone. And there's a special surprise! Julie has a piece in this volume, in the letters section.  This year's theme is "Letters to Aliens." Julie's piece is entitled "Dear Essie" and you can find it in the very front of the book. ​

But don't stop there! This volume is extremely diverse, from the Featured Fiction, to the winners of the Machigonne fiction Contest, and the Knightville Poetry Contest.
