New releases including one I loved so much I reviewed it for the American Booksellers Association; check out my review of Once More We Saw Stars in this month's Indie Next list! Plus a new Theo Boone with new covers for the older books in the series releasing as well!

I will respect my teachers and their commitment to my education.
Did you let a teacher know how much they mean to you this Teacher Appreciation Week? We love educators here at CHB!

The CHB bookclub is reading Wishtree this month! We will be meeting one week early, on Thursday May 23rd. Can't wait to discuss this one with you guys!

The art of Cajun happiness is not found in this book, but I can tell you, it's just food and family. A meal cooked by my grandmother and shared with my siblings and cousins is how I define happiness. What is your secret to being happy? Is it joie de vivre, dolce far niente, xingfu...? I adore this fun guide to hapiness in cultures around the world!

Some great titles out this week! I'm really looking forward to Furious Hours by Casey Cep about a merder trial in Alabama in the late 1970s but also about teh book Harper Lee was trying to write about said trial. This is going to be a big one, y'all!
