LJ’s Best Fall 2018 & Winter 2019 Debuts
Library Journal‘s best debuts of Fall 2018 & Winter 2019 include these 7 Macmillan titles:
A BORROWING OF BONES by Paula Munier
Both traumatized by war, retired soldier Mercy Carr and her bomb-sniffing Belgian Malinois Elvis are running in the Vermont woods when Elvis discovers an abandoned baby, which brings in state game warden Troy Warner and his search-and-rescue Newfoundland. An LJ Mystery Debut of the Month; read for “the believable dogs, the touches of humor, the independent, determined Mercy, and well-crafted characters.” (LJ 9/1/18)
HEARTS OF THE MISSING by Carol Potenza
Pueblo police sergeant Nicky Matthews investigates the suicide of a young woman linked to missing Fire-Sky tribal members who need intervention or their spirits will be condemned to wander. Winner of the Tony Hillerman Prize; “this action-packed mystery…vividly evokes the beauty of the New Mexico landscape and its indigenous peoples.” (LJ 8/18)
WOMAN WORLD by Aminder Dhaliwal
Originally serialized through Disney animation director Dhaliwal’s Instagram account, this graciously illustrated graphic novel imagines a world where men have died out owing to a genetic defect and women are rebuilding society. Mostly black-and-white artwork (so the color bits really mean something); “it’ll be hard to find a funnier, more moving or original debut this year.” (LJ 9/1/18) readmoreremove

Happy #BookBday, Tatjana Soli!
Happy #BookBday to THE REMOVES by Tatjana Soli!
The New York Times bestselling author’s expansive and transfixing new novel “is an epic, enthralling look at the American West in the mid-1800s”* and tells the intertwining stories of fifteen-year-old Anne Cummins, frontierswoman Libbie Custer, and Libbie’s husband, the Civil War hero George Armstrong Custer. “With visceral, vibrant language, Soli paints a stark portrait of the violence, hardship, and struggles that characterized the American West.” — *Booklist, starred review

And at the LibraryReads Librarian author lunch, Suketu Mehta talked about his own experiences and research for his new book, THIS LAND IS THEIR LAND: An Impassioned Argument About Immigrations and Its Discontents (Spring 2019): “Fear of migrants is doing incalculably more damage than the migrants themselves ever could. All evidence shows that immigrants enrich the countries that they move to.”
“I was angry at the staggering hypocrisy of the rich nations who, having stolen the future of the poor nations, were now demanding that they stay home.” – @suketumehta on *This Land is Their Land* #bookexpo2018 @LibraryReads99 @MacmillanLib @fsgbooks pic.twitter.com/BXouDGwPfJ
