 Museum Lectures and Audio Guides | Your Home Librarian By LJ Reviews Museum exhibitions mean great art gathered in one location, but they also often translate into long lines, hard-to-get tickets, and, unless the exhibition is nearby, travel expenses. Added to these impediments, unless one is constantly on the lookout, shows can be overlooked, only discovered after they close. |

| Starred Reviews STARRED REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Vauhini Vara's debut novel, The Immortal King Rao, is one of this week's starred SFF titles. "Highly recommended for readers of climate fiction, social engineering sf, and dystopian catastrophe novels." Drunk on All Your Strange New Words, by Eddie Robson, is another starred SFF selection. "Fans of John Scalzi’s Lock In and Brandon Sanderson’s Legion will be enthralled with this deft blend of murder mystery and science fiction. In the end, the motives for the crime are all too human, while the means, methods, and opportunities are all firmly part of this futuristic setting." In fiction, Mandy Robotham's starred fifth novel, The Resistance Girl, "explores the story of ordinary citizens and Resistance fighters in Norway during World War II.... Robotham brings a lesser-known chapter of World War II to life with heart-pounding close calls and heartbreaking captures." And in political science, Putin’s Trolls: On the Frontlines of Russia’s Information War Against the World, a debut book from Finnish journalist Jessikka Aro, is "very timely for anyone who uses social media or who follows American, Russian and worldwide politics."
