I can’t believe Day of Dialog and Book Expo are only two weeks away! Day of Dialog is a favorite event each year, and Book Expo is always a good time, too. While Prepub Alert Editor Barbara Hoffert’s galley guide isn’t out until next week, in the meantime check out our editorial team’s picks of some noteworthy Book Expo events to attend. We’ve also been considering the titles to keep an eye on in the upcoming seasons—Media Editor Stephanie Klose selected the top audiobook titles for the summer and fall, and LJ’s genre fiction columnists have you covered with what will be hot summer reads. Elsewhere in the newsletter you’ll find Ashleigh Williams’s new erotica column, Doug Lord’s most recent Books for Dudes, Liz French’s latest What We’re Reading & Watching, and much more. We hope you enjoy all of that, and if you see us at Day of Dialog or Book Expo, be sure to say hello!
