New Blog for Readers Launched
|
Members of our staff love to share their excitement about what's new in the world of books. So this summer, we've launched a reader's advisory blog called Reading on Our Radar.
We plan to use this blog as another way to keep you abreast of both the hottest new titles and books that fall below the radar but are well worth reading. In addition, we'll share back stories about authors, the world of publishing, award nominees and winners, and anything we find of interest to book lovers. Click here or look on the Finding a Good Book page on our website.
