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 Baking in the American South, in which food writer Anne Byrn provides hundreds of recipes, alongside mouthwatering photos by Allen Rinne, that answer the question, "What makes Southern baking so special?"; The Full Moon Coffee Shop, where feline proprietors prepare "just the right" dishes for their directionless clientele; and, for teen readers, Tigest Girma's Immortal Dark, "a fabulously bloody and intricate reimagining of the vampire myth" that pivots on a treacherous ancient agreement. In The Writer's Life, Jacqueline Woodson takes a look back at her celebrated memoir Brown Girl Dreaming and the role it played in helping her understand the historical context she was born into. Plus, rediscover the late science writer Steve Silberman, whose bestselling book NeuroTribes helped broaden the public's understanding of autism and those diagnosed with it.
