Looking forward to all the new books that come with the new season.
I am so excited about this spring issue. You’ll enjoy finding new mystery and summer reading titles, as well as nonfiction titles including Cooking, Gardening, Environment, Philosophy, Poetry, and more. These pages offer a look at noteworthy nonfiction and fiction titles publishing March-June 2023. These hand-selected titles feature the best of the best from new and familiar voices, based on specific categories and titles.
Check out the recording of the recent Tell Me More: Mystery author webinar, where Darynda Jones and Eriq La Salle talk about their book series. Darynda shares the blockbuster conclusion to her bestselling Sunshine Vicram trilogy—an intensely suspenseful and laugh-outloud funny read. Eriq La Salle describes his writing and how he created the Martyr Maker series. His latest is a white-knuckle thriller, the riveting second book in a series following the NYPD as they hunt down a serial killer.
The importance of books, reading, learning, and traveling to many places through a story is as important today as ever.
Enjoy.
