The Pre-Reads are here! I say this every month, but I swear Time is speeding up. I felt it was the last Wednesday of May just a few days ago . . . No bother, I am excited about the future. I’m almost more excited about the 19th century inspired books coming out this month! For those new to 19th Century Modern, every last Wednesday, I dip into my Librarian sources to bring you eight fiction and eight non-fiction titles that are highly reviewed and highly rated that recently debuted. Since these books are hot off the press, I have not read any of them, so I am unable to make a personal suggestion. However, I can tell you this, my library patron demographic is not into Historical Fiction. Mystery and romance trump the circulation rates at my library. Ironic, since those are my least favorite genres! Thus said, this June I am ordering The Daredevil Snared for my library. Such a rarity!! All summaries and review come directly from Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal, Baker and Taylor, Kirkus Review, and Amazon. In the case of non-fiction, some titles are reprints, but still worth placing a purchase request at your local library or bookstore. Books are organized by title (Librarians are very BIG on alphanumeric organization . . .)
