Library Bees, an Annoyed Librarian, and Another Obama/Biden Mystery

Post author By Katie McLain
Post date March 6, 2019

Welcome to Check Your Shelf! This is your guide to help librarians like you up your game when it comes to doing your job (& rocking it).

“Check Your Shelf” is sponsored by Hanover Square Press and The Lady from the Black Lagoon by Mallory O’Meara.

The Lady from the Black Lagoon uncovers the life and work of Milicent Patrick – one of Disney’s first female animators and the only woman to create one of Hollywood’s classic movie monsters—the Creature from the Black Lagoon. For someone who should have been hailed as a pioneer in the genre there was little information about Milicent available. Patrick’s contribution had been claimed by a jealous male colleague, her career had been cut short and she soon after had disappeared from film history. The Lady from the Black Lagoon restores Patrick to her place in film history while calling out a Hollywood culture where little seems to have changed since.

Unusual Suspects

The Past Is Coming To Get You

Post author By Jamie Canaves
Post date March 5, 2019

Hello mystery fans! This week I have a great historical mystery from a series I adore, a character driven procedural set in Canada, and a small-town murder mystery for you.

Sponsored by The Line Between by Tosca Lee

In this frighteningly believable thriller from New York Times bestseller Tosca Lee, an extinct disease re-emerges from the melting Alaskan permafrost to cause madness in its victims. For recent apocalyptic cult escapee Wynter Roth, it’s the end she’d always been told was coming. Filled with action, conspiracy, romance, and questions of whom—and what—to believe, The Line Between is a high-octane story of survival and love in a world on the brink of madness. “The perfect blend of spellbinding and heart stopping.” -NYT bestselling author Nicole Baart

Such A Great Historical Mystery Series! (TW suicide/ addiction/ PTSD)

Smoke and Ashes cover image Smoke and Ashes (Sam Wyndham, #3) by Abir Mukherjee: I adore this series and this is the best one yet! The series follows a Scotland Yard detective, Sam Wyndham, who left Scotland for Calcutta hoping to flee his PTSD from the war, his wife’s death, and his opium addiction. I adore this series in part because even though we get the addicted detective trope it feels different than others, and the setting of British ruled Calcutta offers so much history to explore. This time around Wyndham has found himself in two difficult spots: while fleeing an opium den during a raid he stumbled across a dead man whose body later disappears; it’s now 1921 and the British are trying to stop the surge of Indians protesting for independence, led by Mahatma Gandhi, and Prince Edward is visiting so Wyndham is asked to help strategize against the movement. When a woman is murdered similarly to the first body Wyndham encountered, he knows he has a killer he has to stop, but he can’t say anything without revealing his addiction. Quite a pickle he’s put himself in! The book navigates brilliantly between focusing on the unrest, the mystery, and Wyndham’s personal struggles. I really like Wyndham’s character as he seems caught between being British and understanding the horrible treatment of Indians, and I love Sergeant Banerjee, his now roommate and one of the only Indians in the CID. I can’t recommend this series enough!

Character Driven Canadian Procedural (TW alcoholism/ child abuse/ past suicide briefly mentioned with detail/ sexual assault/ pedophile)

the birds that stay cover image The Birds That Stay (A Russell and Leduc Mystery, #1) by Ann Lambert: Look at me starting at the beginning of a series! Okay, I don’t really get props since it’s the first one just released. This one did a really nice job of mixing a procedural with a character driven novel and exploring Canadian history. When an older woman is murdered in a small village north of Montreal the reader follows a few unrelated characters, with the focus on a detective and an almost sixty-year-old woman. Chief Inspector for Homicide Roméo Leduc, a divorcé with a daughter who has dropped out of college to move to another country with her boyfriend, takes the puzzling murder case which he looks into as either a robbery or possible hate crime. Also divorced is Marie Russell, a marine biologist and author, who is currently caring for her mother who has entered a stage of dementia that needs more intense care. This was a really good read for fans of watching everything come together while exploring characters’ lives, and readers who love the-past-is-coming-to-get-you mysteries. Also a great pick for fans of Lisa Jewell and Fiona Barton.

Small-Town Murder Mystery (TW attempted homophobic attack/ addiction/ pedophile/ talk of suicide)

Orient cover image Orient by Christopher Bollen: This was a great mystery perfect for literary fans. Set in an isolated town in Long Island there’s a culture clash amongst the residents, between the locals and the new residents coming from New York and new money. There’s a war with a nearby research facility that’s surrounded by plenty of rumors. And one of the residents has brought a nineteen-year-old gay man home with him to help around the house. When the town caretaker is found dead the already heightened emotions get cranked up even higher, with many pointing a finger at the newest “resident.” A town filled with new and old rich, secrets, affairs, conservatives and liberals, and a push for a historic village, it’s only a matter of time before this small-town is no longer safe to be in…

What's Up in YA

🖤 A YA-Based Disney Villains Series Is Coming Soon!

Post author By Kelly Jensen
Post date March 5, 2019

There’s so much news to catch up on, YA fans!

“What’s Up in YA?” is sponsored by Wednesday Books.

An all new paranormal fantasy series from #1 bestselling authors P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast ignites a world of earth-shattering action and romance where a group of teens question their supernatural abilities. Nothing is what it seems as nature’s power takes control. The wind can change everything and everyone.

The world of YA is never dull, is it? Let’s run down the happenings in this little corner of the book world.

This Time Magazine profile of Laurie Halse Anderson over her incredible 20 year career is a must-read.
A peek at The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind adaptation.

Last, but certainly not least, we’re getting an adaptation of Adam Silvera’s They Both Die At The End.

Watch This…

This is usually the part of a newsletter where I share my recent book mail, but my current book mail is in a state of chaos. Part of the reason it’s in chaos is because I’ve been spending my reading time marathoning a show on Hulu that I want to highlight.

I’m positive I had Anna’s tank top in 2000. The braces, too.

If you’ve got Hulu (or a password for someone else’s), you’ve got to check out Pen15. Set in 2000, the series follows two middle school girls — one white, one half Japanese-American — as they navigate the awkwardness of growing up. It definitely hits on the nostalgia factor, but what made this stand out was that it takes on some big, heavy issues of being a middle schooler in a way that doesn’t shy away from reality. There is an episode about first menstruation, as well as an episode about the first time Maya discovers masturbation (and ultimately finds comfort from Anna about it being normal). The ups and downs of friendship, of fitting in, of living with parents who are going through a divorce, and growing up as a girl of color are all approached with humor and heart in equal measure.

Despite the setting, it rings true to what it is to be a middle schooler navigating what it is to be who you are in a world that, well, doesn’t especially encourage that if it means standing out. It’s also hilarious and cringeworthy to see the realities of middle school — Anna just towers over the boys around her.

Anna and Maya are in their early 30s, but they do a pretty solid job of appearing to be in their early teens.

Grab yourself a snack, put down your book for a bit, and snuggle in with this little gem.

Audiobooks

Audiobook Sales Continue to Rise!

Post author By Vanessa Diaz
Post date March 5, 2019

Hola Audiophiles,

Thanks for joining me for another week of audio love! I don’t know about you, but I am setting a personal record for audiobook consumption. Between the bookstore’s book club, reading for Indies Introduce, and all the podcasting/booktubing stuff for the Riot, my required reading has really ticked up a couple of notches in the last few months. I’m constantly working on lots of titles at once and would never be able to do it all without the my Libby and Libro apps!

Let’s put some of that listening to use then, shall we? Let’s audio.

Latest Listens

One of my recent faves is To Night Owl from Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Wollitzer, an amazing middle grade epistolary novel about two girls who discover than their dads have been dating in secret. They plan a reverse parent trap to keep them apart when they’re shipped off to the same camp for the summer – what could possibly go wrong?!

If you tuned in to last week’s All the Books, you already heard me rave about this super sweet and hilarious book. As I mentioned then, I have just one complaint about the audio: I couldn’t quite handle the reading of the subject lines of the girls’ emails. Once it went from “ re: you don’t know me” to “re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: you don’t know me” and beyond, The narrators themselves are really quite excellent, but if I had to hear “ree” one more time, I was going to start cussing at my car speakers in Spanish.

Listens on Deck

I’m part of the way through Yangsze Choo’s The Night Tiger which is beautiful and mysterious from page one! The author narrates this one and her voice is just so soothing and melodic that I’d listen to her read the ingredient list on a back of a cereal box. I will of course take her engaging novel set in Malaysia instead; it’s about a young woman working as a dancehall girl to pay off her mother’s Mahjong debts and a house boy on a mission to fulfill his master’s dying wish. The two are brought together by a severed finger as sometimes happens. Throw in a string of unexplained murders and whispers of a tumor about men turning into tigers and I am in for that ride. So excited to finish it!

Some of the other audiobooks I’m working on and loving include Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson and Internment by Samira Ahmed. Get both of these now!! They’re such important and emotional listes that are wrecking me gorgeously. The rest I can’t talk about yet… guess you’ll just need to tune in to the Read Harder podcast.

From the Internets

Audiopreneurship – Forbes recommends ten audiobooks every entrepreneur should listen to. I’ll admit I’m terrible at reading business books but really appreciate this list! It’s got some of the category classics but also Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken; now that’ll give you some perspective for sure.

Still I Rise – Forbes had a lot of info for me this week, apparently! This piece states that according to the Association of American Publishers, e-book sales are falling but audiobook sales continue to rise. We’re talking double-digit growth!

Over at the Riot

On last week’s episode of the Book Riot podcast (Episode #301: Bibliographic Rigor), Jeff and Rebecca talked about the news that HMH will begin producing its own audiobooks. I thought about that conversation when I came across the Forbes article about e-books vs. audiobooks; audio, amirite?!?

Women Doing the Thing – I’m bringing back some older posts in honor of Women’s History Month! No time like the present to acquaint thy ear holes with some fabulous women:

That’s all I got today! Shoot me an email at vanessa@riotnewmedia.com with audiobook feedback & questions or find me on Twitter and the gram @buenosdiazsd. Sign up for the In The Club newsletter, peep the Read Harder podcast, and watch me booktube every Friday too!

Stay bad & bookish, my friends.
