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 Mars on Earth, a travel memoir by American Mark Johnson, describing his expatriation to Chile; Lost in Austin, British journalist Alex Hannaford's evaluation of the famously "weird" Texas capital; The Bible: A Global History, Bruce Gordon's account of literacy, bookmaking, and power; Mindless by Robert Skidelsky, a reflection on AI and its implications for humanity's future; and Pick the Lock by A.S. King, a sensitive look at the emotional reality of domestic abuse. In The Writer's Life, artist Maira Kalman highlights the nuance that separates remorse from regret in discussing her new book, Still Life with Remorse, a collection of personal anecdotes and arresting illustrations. Plus, rediscover How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell, son and subject of Norman Rockwell.
