Shelf Awareness for Readers

Shelf Awareness for Readers, our weekly consumer-facing publication featuring adult and children's book reviews, author interviews, backlist recommendations, and fun news items, is being published today. Starred review highlights include Tehrangeles by Porochista Khakpour, a "contemporary whirlwind comedy drama" about an "obscenely wealthy" Iranian American family in Los Angeles that's "pure literary entertainment"; Ambition Monster by Jennifer Romolini, a "laugh-out-loud funny" memoir that is also "sharp and insightful as [Romolini] explores questions of work and its relationship to identity"; and My Life with Sea Turtles by Christine Figgener, both a "love letter to sea turtle conservation" and a memoir that "brims with natural beauty." In our True-Crime Novels feature, we highlight numerous summer reading recommendations that feature podcasters sleuthing out the truth of crimes new and old for their listeners. Plus, rediscover the Fifty Places series by late author and outdoor enthusiast Chris Santella.

Today's issue of Shelf Awareness for Readers is going to more than 690,000 customers of 251 independent bookstores. Stores interested in learning more can contact our partnership program team via e-mail. To see today's issue, click here.
