Books of Distinction
New Historical Fiction
Beheld
(Bloomsbury)
by Tarashea Nesbit
paperback
“Nesbit... cleverly recasts pilgrim history in this deeply enjoyable novel... Capturing the alternating voices of the haves... and the have-nots... Nesbit's lush prose adds texture to stories of the colony's women, and her deep immersion in primary sources adds complexity to the historical record.”

New Memoir
Face the Music:
A Memoir

(Doubleday)
by Peter Duchin with Patricia Beard

"There are so many reasons to admire Peter Duchin and his moving memoir. It’s a victorious celebration of life filled with marquee names and stories, radioactive in their resonance. He knows how to live!" 
—Michael Feinstein, singer, pianist
New Kids Nonfiction

New Science Fiction
Termination Shock
(William Morrow)
by Neal Stephenson
hard cover
“With meticulously rendered action scenes, surprising plot twists, relatable, off-kilter characters...   [Stephenson's] books are page-turners. His latest proves no exception... deals brilliantly and innovatively with our era’s most pressing existential matter — while delivering stratospheric gigatons of carefully engineered delight.”
-- Washington Post
New Nonfiction
There and Back: Photographs from the Edge
(Ten Speed Press)
by Jimmy Chin

“Jimmy Chin is one of the most widely traveled and experienced adventure photographers on Earth, and this collection is an absolute tour de force. I read this book in a single sitting and finished feeling inspired to take on the world.”
—Alex Honnold
New Picture Book
It Fell From the Sky
(Simon & Schuster)
by The Fan Brothers
hardcover
(ages 4-8)
"The Fan brothers’ spectacularly detailed graphite work is as sumptuous and painstakingly rendered as always, and they use both shadow and light and limited pops of stunning color to enhance their storytelling in a remarkable way...[t]he story is elegantly told with clear anti-consumerist, anti-greed messaging, and while the spider is a bit alarming-looking, much can be forgiven for its dapper bow tie."
-- Booklist
(starred review)
New Mystery
The Mitford Trial
(Minotaur Books)
by Jessica Fellowes
paperback
"If you like your historical capers served with a side of murder, consider the sleuthing adventures of Louisa Cannon, occasional amateur detective and erstwhile servant to the Mitfords, real-life aristocratic siblings... who all made their mark upon the 20th century... Sparkly."
The Globe and Mail
New Nonfiction
Mantel Pieces: Royal Bodies and Other Writing from the London Review of Books
(Fourth Estate)
by Hilary Mantel
paperback
‘Worth buying for the title pun alone, Mantel Pieces brings together three decades’ worth of Hilary Mantel’s criticism in the London Review of Book… her uncomplicated prose style is no less authorative for being highly readable’
--Sunday Times
New Middle Reader
The Beatryce Prophecy
(Candlewick Press)
by Kate DiCamillo
hardcover
(ages 8-12)
Set “during a time of war” when “terrible things happen everywhere,” ...DiCamillo’s engrossing medieval fable verges on darkness while examining what changes a world... Tenderly illuminated by... Blackall’s atmospheric... art, this compassionate tale rejoices in “the wonder of being known,” the protective powers of understanding one’s identity, and the strength found in the hard head of a beloved goat.
