I know it’s still only February, but I can smell spring. Really! I can! Almost every title to recently cross my desk has a spring pub date, and that just makes me happy. The new titles come in all shapes and sizes (as you can see below) and bring the promise of warmer weather and outdoor book clubs (ok, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself…). Point is: loving the new crop of books. And, there’s more where these came from. Our 2012 – 2012 Network authors are signing up now and will begin to appear on the ProsenPeople pages very soon. Until then…three from the shelf:
Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way, Mayim Bialik (March 2012, Touchstone)Promiscuous: “Portnoy’s Complaint” and Our Doomed Pursuit of Happiness, Bernard Avishai (April 2012, Yale University Press)
