I'm starting to wonder if the Christmas season isn't a great time to release a new book.
I found only 14 new releases this week, a far cry from the 60+ I was finding back in September and October. I'm not terribly excited about any of this week's new books, either. It's so disappointing that I didn't even bother with a New Releases powerpoint this week.
I also see several bad, boring, nothing-special covers. From a school librarian's perspective, I avoid bad covers unless I know the book is awesome enough to overcome a boring front cover. My students just do not check them out unless I talk up the book A LOT.
Anyway, here are this week's new releases. Maybe next week will be better?
