Every season brings the promise of new books. Some are new books in much loved series (e.g., Immortal Reign, Book 6 in Morgan Rhodes's Falling Kingdom series; Julia Unbound, the conclusion to Catherine Egan's Witch's Child trilogy; and The Defiant, the sequel to Lesley Livingston's The Valiant); some are new genres from familiar authors (e.g., picture books from Caroline Pignat and Deborah Kerbel, and a graphic novel from Dave Whamond); some are debut titles (e.g., The Strange and Deadly Portraits of Bryony Gray); and some are simply new titles from authors whose work I've admired for many years (e.g., Sadia by Colleen Nelson, Don't Tell the Enemy by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch and Good Night, Good Night by Dennis Lee). All hold the promise of taking readers to new and exciting places and times to be touched, frightened, amused, entertained, excited, romanced and educated. Happy reading!
