If you love books as much as I do, then you’d agree with me that this week has been a rather roller coaster-y ride. From celebrating new National Book Awardees to breaking up with books, we’ve got your literary fix covered:
- Grace Lichtenstein’s post gives us a quick roundup of this year’s National Book Awards. See who bagged the fiction and nonfiction titles, together with other recognized citations.
- John Warner may seem to have it all together, but when it comes to ending relationships (with books, at least), he is just as messed up as the rest of us.
- Linda Morris writes about the new shift that Australian children’s book critics and experts are having regarding which kinds of reads are the best for our young ones.
- Leanne Italie’s post dishes out the best coffeetable titles out there. Whether it’s for yourself or a gift for someone else, you can find the best ones in this list – from fashion to art and travel.
- Leslie Kaufman’s article shares historian David McCullough’s ideas on writing a book about the impact of aviation to the world’s societies and cultures through the early years of flights.
- Finally, we blow off some steam and find peace (and closure, hopefully!) as we talk about ending relationships and starting new ones. Our discussion continues in this week’s offering, “Falling in Love, Breaking Up, and Moving On.”
