Welcome to EarlyWord
We're happy to announce our latest addition -- EarlyWord YA GalleyChat. Please join us the second Tuesday of every month at 4 p.m. Eastern (mark your calendars for Feb. 14. Yes, we heart YA) for a lively discussion of the new galleys grabbing readers' attention. And, don't forget our adult GalleyChat, the first Tuesday of each month (info on how to join each, here).
Let us know what is happening in your library. Email me with information on books that are getting an unexpected number of holds and the titles you enjoy recommending.
Keep on reading,

In USA Today, Jack Murnighan, author of Beowulf on the Beach, shows his readers advisory chops by making the case for the classics as the best beach reading (but, not Proust, actually; Remembrance of Things Past takes too much concentration).
Murnighan will make you want to pack Moby Dick in your beach bag (“one of the funniest books of all time”).

:) It’s a coincidence but I actually read Proust on my last holiday. It’s not bad, his melancholic style fits with the laziness of a holiday. It also depends on the holiday style!
