We are back from ALA Annual and we have a lot of great book recommendations! On Friday, August 2, we jumped under a brand new tiki hut for our monthly Facebook Live video. Since August is "Read a Romance Month," we decided to present a wide array of titles and genres that all fall under the category of books we are LOVING! Below is a list of the titles we discussed.
If you couldn't join us, you can still watch the archived video above via Facebook, or on Youtube.
We started off our chat with Associate Publisher Tara Parsons, a special guest from the newly launched HarperVia imprint. HarperVia will publish books from around the world, mostly in translation. Find out more about our new imprint by reading a special article from Shelf Awareness. Tara brought four upcoming titles from HarperVia to the tiki hut:
It Would Be Night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo
The German House by Annette Hess
The End of the Ocean by Maja Lunde
Lost in the Spanish Quarter by Heddi Goodrich
