SIT: 28 Days to a Rock-Solid Daily Meditation Habit
by Bodhipaksa
Wisdom Publications, February 2026

It’s widely known that there are many benefits to meditation, particularly if undertaken regularly, but making it a daily habit can be a challenge for many people. Why? Because it takes more than willpower.

Here, longtime meditation teacher and Buddhist blogger Bodhipaksa presents a collection of strategies and tools to help build a rock-solid daily meditation practice into your life. The book is divided into twenty-eight chapters, one for each day.

Each chapter starts with a Practice Reminder, just a few words reminding readers of the importance of practicing meditation rather than merely reading about it. There’s also a link to a web page of guided meditations.

Following that is a Today section, a brief summary of the day’s reading.

Then there’s a Strategies section, which offers suggestions to help readers build the habit of meditating daily. Strategies can be as simple as setting reminders or using a meditation timer, or more involved tools such as changing any belief that you lack what it takes to meditate daily.

That’s followed by a Going Deeper section, with a deeper exploration of some of the Buddhist teachings underpinning our practice, often referring to the suttas, or scriptures, of early Buddhism.

Next is a Reflection section, which encourages readers to keep a journal to make the content of the Going Deeper section more experiential.

Each chapter ends with a Last Words section, quickly summarizing the Going Deeper section.

To help you get started, Bodhpaksa has recorded eighteen meditations for you to listen to and provided a 28-day calendar to help track your deepening meditation habit. Simply scan the QR code in the book for access.

When Judith Rice fled her childhood home, she thought she’d severed her abusive mother’s hold on her. She didn’t have a plan or destination, just a desperate need to escape. Drawn to the forests of southern Georgia, Jude finds shelter in a house as haunted by its violent history as she is by her own.

Jude embraces the eccentricities of the dilapidated house, soothing its ghosts and haints, honoring its blood-soaked land. And over the next thirteen years, Jude blossoms from her bitter beginnings into a wisewoman, a healer.

But her hard-won peace is threatened when an enigmatic woman shows up on her doorstep. The woman is beautiful but unsettling, captivating but uncanny. Ensnared by her desire for this stranger, Jude is caught off guard by brutal urges suddenly simmering beneath her skin. As the woman stirs up memories of her escape years ago, Jude must confront the calls of violence rooted in her bloodline.

Haunting and thought-provoking, On Sunday She Picked Flowers explores retribution, family trauma, and the power of building oneself back up after breaking down.

RACEBOOK de Tochi Onyebuchi

From the author of Hugo and NAACP Image Award finalist Riot Baby, an original memoir in essays that interrogates how identities are shaped and informed in online spaces and how the relationship between race and the Internet has changed in his three decades online.

RACEBOOK: A Personal History of the Internet
by Tochi Onyebuchi
Roxane Gay Books/Grove Atlantic, October 2025

When Tochi Onyebuchi realized that his acclaimed science fiction and fantasy storytelling career had been centrally preoccupied with race, it prompted him to consider his responsibilities as a Black writer in the Internet age. Excavating the Internet of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Racebook explores how the writer and public intellectual Onyebuchi is today, was formed in that crucible.

Beginning with the current moment when everything, including personal identity, is a matter of dispute, and tracing his online persona in reverse chronological order back to Web 1.0’s promises of greater equality and a bright digital future, Onyebuchi deftly examines the evolution of internet culture and the ways that culture has shifted in the ensuing decades. From the ever-changing nature of personal writing and free expression, to gaming, manga, fandom, and virtual reality—Onyebuchi examines the internet alongside works of literature both classic and new, and asks if our vision for what is possible has really broadened. And given the inequities Black people are still subject to, on and off the page, does the Internet only amplify our failures of imagination?

A new, compelling investigation of race through the lens of the modern Internet age, and a profound intellectual journey in pursuit of community online, Onyebuchi argues for a liberation of the individual behind the code, ultimately asking “Is this a race book or is it not? Is it either-or? Can it be both-and? Can I?”

“Poetic and insightful . . . This is a must-read.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Racebook’s essays are filled with nostalgic gaming references, musings on the current state of the internet, social media follies, and a surprising amount of German. Onyebuchi uses his fascinating life story as the backbone for this book, and readers learn as much about his background as they do about how the internet has changed and grown. Recommended for readers who want to examine the internet as it was, is, and will be, and how one person’s unique perspective can elucidate universal truths.”—Booklist, starred review

“Wide-ranging . . . A trenchant essay collection about race and identity online . . . Onyebuchi’s cultural vocabulary is impressive, weaving together references to, among others, Graham Greene, Nas, and Walter Mosley . . . this is a lively and astute read.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A riotous history of the internet from a nostalgic fan and passionate critic. Tochi Onyebuchi knows that when you enter a world that turns friends into followers, and authenticity into performance, speaking the truth is the only way out. He does it beautifully in this memoir-in-essays, which looks at the pressure of data capitalism on our inner lives and future identities.”—Laila Lalami, author of The Dream Hotel

“A love letter to the broken internet: Onyebuchi’s prose glitters and his insights cut in this smart tour through the key junctures at which the internet’s terrible promise and peril revealed themselves.”—Cory Doctorow, author of Enshittification and Red Team Blues

Tochi Onyebuchi is the Hugo and NAACP Image Award finalist and author of Goliath, Riot Baby, the Beasts Made of Night series, and the War Girls series. He was the writer on Marvel Comics’ “Captain America: Symbol of Truth” series (2022-2023) and the Black Panther Legends run (2021-2022).

FOR EVERY PERSON YOU KILL de Sahar Delijani

The highly anticipated follow-up to Sahar Delijani’s internationally bestselling debut, Children of the Jacaranda Tree, which was inspired by her parents’ political persecution and subsequent imprisonment in post-revolutionary Iran. Now, in her sophomore novel, FOR EVERY PERSON YOU KILL, Sahar turns her attention to life after prison, examining the intergenerational legacy of trauma born of incarceration.

Set between the violent aftermath of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the recent Woman Life Freedom uprising in 2022, this novel also explores both the power and the limits of storytelling to grapple with that trauma: what happens when we metabolize our personal suffering through writing? What does it mean when that intimate story becomes part of a larger collective memory? And does the act of telling that story hold the power to stop history from repeating itself?

Tehran, 1980s. The daughter of political dissidents, Neda is born inside the walls of the notorious Evin Prison. She doesn’t meet her parents again until they are released when she is four years old, but their estrangement doesn’t end with their long-awaited embrace. Neda feels shy and awkward around Azar and Ismael, who in turn wrestle with how to be parents as they process the brutality they have been subjected to and struggle to rebuild their shattered lives…

Manhattan, 2022. Neda, now in her forties, and on her way to a reading for her second novel, grapples with the weight of her literary success. As a renewed wave of violent crackdowns on protesters fighting the same regime that once persecuted her family takes hold of the country of her birth, Neda struggles to prepare herself mentally and emotionally to face an audience. She is so weary of walking the tightrope between public and private, spokeswoman and survivor, and increasingly aware that she has made a career of writing about the trauma of others without fully examining her own…

As warm-blooded and intimate as it is politically engaged, FOR EVERY PERSON YOU KILL is a work of autobiographical literary fiction for readers of Homeland Elegies and In the Shadow of the Banyan. It joins the canon of literature about the act of writing literature, alongside such works as the Neapolitan Novels and The Book of Goose.

Sahar Delijani is the author of Children of the Jacaranda Tree an autobiographical novel which has been translated into 30 languages and published in more than 75 countries. It was a Women’s National Book Association’s Great Group selection, an Indie Next Pick, a CBS Local Best Book Club Pick, a finalist for Italy’s Elle Gran Premio, one of Vogue India’s Top 10 Big Reads, and a candidate for France’s Prix des Lecteurs Sélection by Le Livre de Poche.
