| February 5, 2018 |  Midwinter Reads Stephanie Klose, Media Editor Those of you heading to Denver for ALA Midwinter would do well to bookmark Barbara Hoffert's Galley Guide—and bring a spare totebag! The LJ editors select the spring titles they're most eagerly anticipating, with plenty of memoirs, short stories, and historical fiction making the cut. Rob Kemp considers musical acts known for tight harmonies, including the Bee Gees, the Byrds, and Boyz II Men. Samuel Parker shares his thoughts about writing gritty Christian fiction, while five librarians choose their favorite romantic reads for Valentine's Day. And fans of illustrated bears are in luck; among recent graphic novel reviews are both Pamela Ribon's My Boyfriend Is a Bear and Jody Leheup and Sebastian Girner's Shirtless Bear-Fighter Vol. 1. |
