SISTERS RED Book Trailer

Posted by Marisa Emralino
Who’s ever heard of the Big Bad Wolf? Well, everybody, actually --- and as much as we love the story of Little Red Riding Hood, it’s probably lost much of its appeal as we’ve gotten older. So if you think this classic fairy tale needs some spicing up, then SISTERS RED by Jackson Pearce has arrived just in time --- today, actually! The novel revolves around two sisters, Scarlett and Rosie March, whose dangerous encounter with some werewolves, or Fenris, has motivated them to search and slay them all.

About the Book

From New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Honor winner Shannon Hale comes an utterly satisfying new novel that asks the question: Can a seemingly normal, happily married Mormon mother-of-four be best friends with Hollywood’s hottest (happily married) heartthrob?

Shannon Hale has created a magical and often hilarious story that explores what might happen when your not-so secret celebrity crush walks right into real life, and changes everything.

I promised more content from my experience a couple of weeks ago at BookExpo America.  Well here it comes.  One of the sessions I attended (moderated by our very own Carol Fitzgerald) was called Hot Book Club Titles: Fall 2010.  Sounds right up our alley, no?  It was 6 industry big wigs talking about their companies upcoming great reads for book groups.  So, welcome to Part 1 of a 6 part series!  The first speaker at the session was Michael Croy, Field Sales Director at Simon & Schuster, and these are the books he presented:

Interview: Tracy White, author of How I Made It to Eighteen

Jun 8, 2010

Tracy White is the new graphic novel author and illustrator of How I Made it to Eighteen. She is also an avid online comic author, whose site can be found at www.traced.com.

How I Made it to Eighteen may touch on some deep, meaningful, and even sometimes sensitive topics for many teenagers, but it is completely accessible to teachers, parents, and students alike. Honest and unashamed, White’s work is engaging and hard to put down. It’s definite a good, thoughtful read. White discussed the work—and the traumatic time that inspired it—with GraphicNovelReporter.

Itching to get your hands on Stephenie Meyer's latest work of fiction?  Well look no further, because starting at noon today, you can read her new novella, THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER, here...

Last week I shared a little bit of what I saw at the Editor's Buzz talk at BookExpo America.  Well, guess what, there's more!  These are the titles the editors from some of the major houses really believe in.  The one's they believe will be the big books of the coming year.  So since I know what to look for, I figure you should be in the loop too!
