Just in case you want to stock up on books for Easter vacation, the ABA announced these favorites, voted on by independent booksellers/bookstores. (Full article here)
With links to Amazon, the winners are:
- Adult Fiction: Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot: A Novel
.Gotta be great. Eugenides doesn't write anything less than great, right? And this is about a love triangle in the 1980s, part erotic, part classic.
- Adult Nonfiction: Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef
by Gabrielle Hamilton. A memoir about an acclaimed chef.
- Adult Debut of the Year: The Tiger's Wife: A Novel
by Tea Obreht. The author is ridiculously young and talented, and the book sounds so intriguing, a mix of mythical history and brutal reality, my favorite combination.
- Young Adult: Between Shades of Gray
by Ruta Sepetys, about a 15-year-old girl sent to Siberia during WW2.
