Other Indie FavoritesSoil: A Novel, by Jamie Kornegay (Simon & Schuster, $26) “In his debut novel, Kornegay has confidently announced himself as a writer to watch. Centered around Jay Mize, an idealistic farmer whose luck just keeps breaking bad, the story kicks into high gear when Jay discovers a corpse on his failing farm. Fearing he is being framed by his less progressive neighbors, Jay hides the discovery rather than reporting it. Kornegay expertly heightens the tension, tightening the screws on the increasingly paranoid Jay in a way that makes it impossible for the reader to put the book down. With Soil, Kornegay joins Wiley Cash and Tom Franklin as a strong voice in the world of Southern gothic fiction.” —Josh Christie, Sherman’s Books and Stationery, Bar Harbor, ME

Welcome to Braggsville: A Novel, by T. Geronimo Johnson (William Morrow, $25.99) “In Welcome to Braggsville, Johnson explores cultural, social, and regional diversity in a world increasingly driven by social media. His satirical and ironic style portrays a UC Berkeley—‘Berzerkeley’—student from Georgia who, along with his friends, goes back to his hometown to challenge an annual Southern tradition and inadvertently sets off a chain of events resulting in tragic consequences. Johnson’s creative language play envelops the reader in the Deep South with the impact of a razor-sharp Lynyrd Skynyrd riff.” —Jann Griffiths, BookSmart, Morgan Hill, CA

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Black-Eyed Blond: A Philip Marlowe Novel, by Benjamin Black (Picador, $16)“In well-written noir, each sentence feels like a story unto itself and strung together those sentences form a book that feels somehow ‘more’ than any other out there. The Black-Eyed Blonde is such a book. Black manages to mimic the style of one of the best-known authors of the 20th century while still keeping a distinct voice. Raymond Chandler fans will be happy to see Philip Marlowe back roaming the mean streets of L.A. There’s a sultry femme fatale, a sinister philanthropist, and plenty of punches thrown, pistols whipped, and suits ruined.” —Lauren Peugh, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, AZ

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
Another Indie Favorite for Ages 9 to 12 The Imaginary, by A.F. Harrold, Emily Gravett (Illus.) (Bloomsbury Children’s Books, $16.99) “Amanda and her imaginary friend, Rudger, spend their days exploring the Amazon in hot-air balloons, bouncing on the surface of alien planets in space suits, and chasing strange, cat-like creatures. Their adventures are limited only by the immense imagination of Amanda, but when the sinister Mr. Bunting, an old man who eats imaginary friends, shows up and is intent on consuming Rudger, the two friends race against him and the constraints of adult imagination.” —Linda Sherman-Nurick, Cellar Door Books, Riverside, CA
Another Indie Favorite for Teen Readers My Heart and Other Black Holes, by Jasmine Warga (Balzer + Bray, $17.99) “Aysel is sure she wants to die; she just doesn’t know if she can do it alone. When she stumbles upon FrozenRobot’s listing for a suicide partner online, she’s sure that she’s found the person she needs. But Aysel never expects that there might be other things holding her back. Sometimes sorrowful, sometimes funny, and always honest, this novel tackles the difficult topic of suicide with tact, while acknowledging that life can be messy, sad, and happy all at once.” —Sara Grochowski, Brilliant Books, Traverse City, MI

Another Indie Favorite Families, Families, Families! by Suzanne Lang (Random House Books for Young Readers, $16.99) “Some books have that special something—something that engages children, opens their minds, and encourages acceptance. Families, Families, Families! is one of those books. Many children will see their own unique family on its pages, while others will see other families they know. Families, Families, Families! celebrates the beauty and diversity of everyone’s most precious love—their family. It belongs on every child’s bookshelf!” —Kirsten Hess, Let’s Play Books!, Emmaus, PA
