MUSIC/PODCASTS
The Practice of Love by Jenny Hval
You might know Hval from her vampire- and menstruation-inspired Blood Bitch, but her new album—all about love—is completely different. Find our review here, and listen to the album September 13.
Birth of Violence by Chelsea Wolfe
Wolfe’s sixth full-length album features all the haunting vocals we’ve come to expect from the singer-songwriter, but with more of a folk twist. Out September 13, and find our forthcoming review on BUST.com.

BOOKS
She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey
In 2017, journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the story that Harvey Weinstein had been sexually harassing and abusing women for decades. In She Said, they share the process of breaking the story—and the movement it signaled. Out September 17.
Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson
Woodson’s books never disappoint. Red in the Bone, according to our reviewer, “is a beautifully written examination not just of the bonds of family, and also of how alone one can feel within it.” Out September 17, and find our review in the September/October print edition of BUST.
