Another Indie Favorite Cat Person and Other Stories, by Kristen Roupenian (Gallery/Scout Press, $16) "I was completely enthralled with Kristen Roupenian's `Cat Person' story in the New Yorker and couldn't wait to pick up her collection. Like `Cat Person,' each story pushes boundaries, holding a magnifying glass up to social norms and what our society accepts.The writing is fantastic, and the cadence of each story is strikingly unique.This book will delight fans of Roupenian's viral story and will start many more conversations in its wake." --Courtney Flynn, Trident Booksellers & Caf?, Boston, MA

A desperate escape from the prison where he was born leads

muster to find his way home.This incandescent novel will fulfill the

For Teen Readers The Silence of Bones, by June Hur (Feiwel & Friends, $17.99) "I was struck by the depth of this gripping story. Seol's quest for answers about her past is a fascinating counterpoint

to her investigation into a grisly murder.The meditative quality of

the narration of this historical mystery felt perfectly suited to the

Korean setting and the backdrop of political and religious struggles.

Seol's courage, curiosity, and dedication make her a character I can't

get enough of. Let's hope this is the start of a series." --Tegan Tigani, Queen Anne Book Company, Seattle, WA
