Readings Monthly

In the July Readings Monthly, we have a BookPeople conference wrap-up from our head book buyer and ‘Dear Reader’ columnist, Alison Huber, who has also been reflecting (even more than usual!) on our local publishing and bookselling ecosystem. It’s compelling reading for anyone keen on a behind-the-scenes insight into life in the book world. We also have knock-out debut novels (including one by Brandon Jack) and a review that might make you cry – imagine what the book itself may do!

Along with another bumper month of fiction and nonfiction, July is notable for its excellent crop of fresh crime novels. Our Kids and YA reviewers were similarly delighted – there’s something for everyone in July!
