In the column to the right, I’ve added a page to record the new books added to the shelves of Roseledge Books during this summer. The first “installment” of this ongoing saga is listed below because I don’t know how blog readers typically read blogs (unlike newspaper readers or book readers about which I can at least make good guesses), and I worried that someone interested in the book content of the posts might miss the excitement of a new book page.
I love to try and figure out why any one book is included in a list or array of books. I thought you might have fun with it, too. The following are the new books of the season, so far. I’d love to hear your suggestions of other titles I should have. Please remember that Roseledge Books has only new paperback books.
