Nicole Magistro / Read Island The power of imagination and the pleasure of reading take a little girl and her two furry friends on a grand adventure in Nicole Magistro’s Read Island (Read Island/Indie Reader in Store). The cheery rhyming text is perfectly paired with colorful paper-cut collage illustrations by Alice Feagon, making for a splendid read-aloud for young children and their adults. Nicole Magistro is a book reviewer and former bookstore owner who understands how a book can transport readers, little and big, to a magical destination. |
Shauna Robinson / Must Love Books The (not so) glamorous world of publishing is the setting for Must Love Books (Sourcebooks Landmark/Sourcebooks), the debut novel from Virginian Shauna Robinson. Nora’s job as an editorial assistant at Parson’s Press is going nowhere, or worse than nowhere when her salary is cut, forcing her to moonlight for a rival publisher. Nora’s loyalties will be put to the test by a best-selling author and her dream of a perfect job. Must Love Books will be published in January, 2022. |
Eva Jurczyk / The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections First it’s a valuable manuscript that goes missing in Eva Jurczyk’s The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections (Poisoned Pen Press/Sourcebooks), then it’s a librarian. With two mysteries to solve, temporary department head Leisl Weiss finds that the world of rare books is not as safe and gentile as she had thought. Eva Jurczyk is a writer and librarian living in Toronto. The Department of Rare Books, which will be published in January, 2022, is her first novel. |
