First, please let me apologize for being a bad blogger lately. Things have been a bit crazy around here, but I promise my reasons for being distracted will be revealed soon. And I really hope you find it useful!
Anyway, this post is meant to focus on the absolutely rave reviews that Charles Dubow's Indiscretion has been receiving. We love this book, and so does pretty much everyone else who has read it (even the competition...there may or may not be a tweet from a certain someone over at Penguin about how great it is).
Just take a look at these!
“Dubow’s first novel is a deliciously absorbing page-turner. His captivating characters jump off the page to pull the reader into their story.” - Starred Library Journal
“Dubow proves himself to be an elegant writer with a shrewd sense of how to shape his material for the broadest appeal. Glamourous settings, old money, and steamy sex all combine to make this one a totally addictive read.” - Booklist
“Dubow crafts an epic novel of friendship, betrayal and undying love. It's a beautifully written debut...Dubow’s book is a page turner that skillfully tugs at the heartstrings.” - Starred Kirkus Review
I am so proud of you Annie. You must have had a great mother.
:)

No apologies! With all that you do for librarians and your authors...thoughtful, interesting posts are much better than a few words each day just to post something. This is a FABULOUS book, though and I'm glad you took time to share it with everyone. I can't wait to get it in the patrons' hands.

I was at a midwinter ALA a while back and I saw all the hard work you and your co-workers put into the event and I see that another one is coming up quite soon. You have earned your A plus with everyone here many times over so if you need to pause between posts, please go ahead and give yourself permission :) :) :)

No need to apologize for being busy. When a blogger such as you has a good track record, I can wait for your next thoughtful blog post. Looking forward to a longer post and this mysterious news.
