I managed to get a few words with John and Joe from New York. Booksellers are going crazy about so many books! I pictured four here to whet your appetite for the fall. Yes, the fall! But it will be here before you know it.
Hillary Jordon is the author of Mudbound which was well-received critically and by our Lemuria readers. When She Woke is described as a futuristic novel with a Scarlet Letter theme. A powerful book with a knockout cover.

Ann Patchett? I know many of you have waited for this one!
Also look for Midnight Rising on John Brown’s Raid this fall. I can say that I will read anything by Tony Horwitz. He is one of the most engaging and well-respected journalists today. I loved his last book A Voyage Long and Strange.
The Language of Flowers is a debut novel with two unusual themes: adoption and the language of flowers.
I think the book expo has already wrapped up. John and Joe are off on their yearly tour of New York bookstores, the Strand being the first one on their list.
The rare book room at The Strand
Yummy books!
