#ShelfLife - July 15, 2016

This week's selections include several teen reads and a bit of historical fiction from the author of Queen of the South, now adapted as a series drama airing on USA Network.

Bestselling author and Dagger Award winner Arturo Pérez-Reverte delivers an epic historical tale with the romantic spirit of an old black-and-white movie in WHAT WE BECOME. Pérez-Reverte also wrote QUEEN OF THE SOUTH, the novel that inspired a television series of the same name currently airing on USA Network. #ShelfLife #queenofthesouth #librariesofinstagram #ForsythReads

SWING SIDEWAYS by Nanci Turner Steveson isn’t only a good summer read, but also perfect for fans of BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. This debut novel is the story of two girls and the unforgettable summer in which they learn about true friendship and loss. #ShelfLife

Early this summer we heard that publishers were using yellow covers to grab a reader's attention on the bookshelf. Now, we're seeing a trend in black, white, and red covers for teen books like these: THE OUTLIERS by Kimberly McCreight EVERNEATH by Brodi Ashton THE SUMMONING by Kelley Armstrong SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo #redbooks #libraryinmyhand #librariesofinstagram #teenreads #shelflife
