| Hello Indiana, | This week brings 39 exciting new titles, including a journey of self-discovery and a dazzling story of an unlikely pair. | In Evelyn in Transit by David Guterson, "Guterson delivers a soulful and gentle meditation on the meaning of life and the lengths some of us will go to find purpose. What Evelyn ends up choosing for her young son is practically beside the point. Her charming large heartedness and open mind win the reader over anyway... reflective yet laugh-out-loud funny." (Booklist, starred review) | And a dazzling story of ambition and friendship, When We Were Brilliant by Lynn Cullen follows a blond bombshell and a determined photographer whose bold deal changes their lives. | You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and logged in members will find descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section. | For more soon to publish books including paperbacks, check out BookBrowse's "What's New" section.
