This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, this week as most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles. I will host again next week. Patti Abbott hopes to return to hosting the week after...Amy Nolan in Library Journal provides a starred review of I Bring Sorrow and Other Stories of Transgression today...consider picking it up for yourself and asking for it at all the better libraries...
