Leading the pack in number of holds is The Ask. It was ordered in the lowest quantities, so it also has the highest ratio of holds, averaging [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two novels going on sale next week &#8212; one by Lionel Shriver and the other by Danielle Trussoni &#8212; are getting early media attention from major critics, though there is only moderate library demand so far.  On the other hand, Alan Brantley&#8217;s second Flavia de Luce mystery doesn&#8217;t need media attention; customers are placing holds based on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although February is typically a quiet month for general fiction, some booksellers are talking about Heidi Durrow&#8217;s The Girl Who Fell From the Sky, a debut novel about a biracial girl whose mother jumped to her death after apparently pushing her children off a rooftop. Libraries are showing holds of 1:1 on modest orders.
Durrow&#8217;s novel, which goes on sale next week, won the [...]]]></description>

The tale of an American radio reporter in WWII London, the novel is winning comparisons to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society from booksellers, one of whom touted The Postmistress in PW&#8217;s Galley [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2009 was the year of &#8220;the sudden and splendid blossoming of the short story,&#8221; declared the Guardian, observing that women have picked up three major UK prizes this year. Two of the three have been published in the U.S.
