		<description><![CDATA[Dan Chaon&#8217;s new suspense novel, Await Your Reply, has piled up an amazing number of major reviews. And that&#8217;s helped drive up reserves in all the libraries we checked (all have to 100 or more holds each), in the month since we wrote about the first wave of reviews in the Washington Post, People and the Los Angeles Times.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always fun when librarians pick a winner early&#8211;and that&#8217;s the case with David Small&#8217;s graphic memoir of his unhappy childhood, Stitches, which has been getting some major media hits lately. It was a &#8220;Shout &#8216;n&#8217; Share&#8221; pick at Book Expo, which many saw as a &#8220;gateway book&#8221; that could help bring graphic novels into the mainstream.

		<description><![CDATA[Tired of unrestrained, sensational memoirs?  Then consider Margaret Drabble&#8217;s The Pattern in the Carpet: A Personal History With Jigsaws, an unusual tribute to her lifelong fascination with jigsaw puzzles that doubles as a reserved account of her struggle with depression. While libraries we checked have up to 24 holds on modest numbers of copies, the book has sparked a sympathetic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama&#8217;s gotten caught reading by the press fairly consistently since May 2008 - though more often during the campaign than during the first six months of his presidency. Rather handily, the Daily Beast has recapped his reading picks, which shows &#8220;a predilection for presidential profiles, a weakness for explain-it-all bestsellers, and the occasional hankering for literary fiction.&#8221;
