A Starred Booklist Online Review for Ann Patchett’s COMMONWEALTH!

July 18, 2016

In a starred online review, Booklist calls Commonwealth "a sharply funny, chilling, entrancing, and profoundly affecting look into one family’s 'commonwealth,' its shared affinities, conflicts, loss, and love." To read the full review, please visit: http://booklistonline.com/Commonwealth-Ann-Patchett/pid=8182219

This stunning work by the award winning author of Bel Canto and State of Wonder follows two families irrevocably drawn together by a chance encounter and the resulting documentation of their strange family saga. Commonwealth goes on sale September 13th, so there is still time to nominate it for a LibraryReads pick! The deadline is this Wednesday, July 20th, so head on over to Edelweiss now to leave your review and nominate it for the September list!

Orange Prize Shortlist

April 17, 2012

Guess what? Tres exciting news! Back in March we were thrilled because the Orange Prize longlist came out, and The Song of Achilles and State of Wonder were both on it (woot!). Welllll….THEY BOTH MADE THE SHORTLIST TOO! :::Pause for effect:::

Congratulations to two stellar books by two stellar women! If you haven't read them, please add them to your wish list. Summer reading? Mother's/Father's Day? Random Wednesday evening? There are plenty of occassions for a present from a loved one (hint, hint kids) or from yourself.

In other news, we are all currently in Houston, booth unpacked and looking fab, awaiting this evening and the opening hours of TLA. Stop by Booth 1613 and say hi if you are around. Would love to see you!
