I've been enjoying the author interviews and book reviews on NPR. I've found its weekly bestseller lists with the top 15 titles (hardback and paperback for both fiction and nonfiction) and the number of weeks they've been on the list to be helpful in tracking down books for customers. I also thought the listing of titles dealing with the memories and romanticism of WWII to be a very appropriate tie in with Memorial Day.
I've been delving into Stop! You're Killing Me! in bits and pieces. Each time I open the site I discover something more. The site lists New Releases monthly all the way through November. These lists include Large Print and Audio. It has an Awards link that explains what each award is and the you can click on that award to see the entire list of winners. In the reviews you're informed if that book is a finalist for a specific award. Perhaps one of the most interesting links on the site is the "Diversity of Series Character". It includes Amish, Disabled & Survivors, and Native Americans--three groups of interest to several of my mystery readers.
