Monday Fun Day! (11/7/2011 Edition)

We are busy, busy, busy little bees here in the Library Marketing Department, so I'll keep this short and sweet!

- We're delighted and honored to have two books listed among the top ten of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2011: THE MARRIAGE PLOT by Jeffrey Eugenides and ONE DAY I WILL WRITE ABOUT THIS PLACE by Binyavanga Wainaina. We'll explore the full list later this week because we have a whole pile of excellent books that made their way onto that list, but for now let's celebrate! See the full list of books here.

- Last week I joined the lovely ladies of HarperCollins and Random House Books On Tape upstate for NYLA's Mystery Slam! If you missed the book buzz (and the wine!) see our full list of presented titles here.

And if the blah weather is getting you down, now's the time to seek the company of hot beverages, excellent books, and close pals. Cuddle up!
