DJ Rosenblum Becomes the G.O.A.T. cover art, book by Abby White.

A few months ago Becky & I got to meet Abby White at a book event. She was kind enough to give us an ARC of her debut novel, now out. It's such a fun read! Cover copy says: "Looking for Alaska + You are so not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah," and that's about right! Check it out: www.abbywhitewrites.com

YouTube video by E Train Talks: All About Books! My Book Review of THE TEACHER OF NOMAD LAND: A WORLD WAR II STORY by Author Daniel Nayeri

THE TEACHER OF NOMAD LAND: A WORLD WAR II STORY by award-winning author Daniel Nayeri is a powerful #MGLit historical fiction novel that shines a light on the often overlooked Iranian front of World War II. A thought-provoking & moving tale. @levinequerido.bsky.social

I've learned to expect a lot from Bologna. But I did NOT expect Arthur Levine to give me (and you!) a sneak peek at our book THE TRUE UGLY DUCKLING: HOW HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN BECAME A SWAN. The art is just magnificent, created by paper sculptor Calvin Nicholls. #bcbf25 @levinequerido.bsky.social

It’s your first look at Shibu, a curious cat with an expressive tail….

A dark blue Q&A graphic showing two text bubbles: one question bubble from We Need Diverse Books and one answer bubble from Loyalty Books in response. WNDB’s question says, “Which book(s) have you hand-sold the most this year?” Loyalty Books response as follows: “There’s a wonderful contemporary middle grade book by Anna Lapera called ‘Mani Semilla Finds Her Quetzal Voice,’ published by Levine Querido, that’s one of my favorite kids books of the year! Mani (like the author) is Chinese-Filipino-American-Guatemalan, and is a curious, hilarious, big hearted protagonist who is finding her voice as an activist and feminist. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting the author for a few events and it’s been amazing to see how this book resonates with both kids and adults.”

Q: Which book(s) have you hand-sold the most this year?
