WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA

The Phantom TreeNicola Cornick's The Phantom Tree is one of two starred fiction titles this week. "Highly recommended for readers of time travel fiction and those looking for a fix between Outlander installments." Playing Changes: Jazz for the New Century, by Nate Chinen, is this week's starred nonfiction title. "A very attractive volume that will appeal not just to jazz lovers but all interested in the current music scene." In graphic novels, Rome West is one of two starred titles. This alternate history by Justin Giampaoli and Brian Wood, with illustrations by Andrea Mutti and others, proposes "how the course of America’s history would have been altered had a Roman legion landed on the shores of the New World centuries before Columbus.... For anyone who enjoys period comics that envelop readers in a bygone era and worlds that could have been, this is well worth the price of admission." An in e-originals, Fiona McArthur's Holly’s Heart, book four in the "Outback Brides" series, is a good pick "for fans of second chance romances, strong female friendships, and tight family bonds.... This novella-length tale from McArthur (Mothers’ Day) is solid in its storytelling."
