Picked for successEvery week or so, Barbara Hoffert, editor at Library Journal, goes out on a limb, and predicts the most-likely-to-succeed in her pre-publication alert.
This week, she is laying bets on:
• Rashad Harrison. Our Man in the Dark
A debut novel about a Civil Rights worker who becomes an FBI informant during the months before the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Delphine de Vigan. Underground Time
Mathilde is isolated and intimidated by a bullying boss. Paramedic Thibault fights traffic to attend to disasters. What happens when these two battered souls encounter each other in the crowded city?
• Jana Harris. Horses Never Lie About Love: A True Story
"Memoir" of a damaged but magnetic feral mare named True Colors, who has changed the lives of all the people she has met.
• Emma Pearse. Sophie: The Incredible True Story of the Castaway Dog
Sophie Tucker, a three-year-old Aussie blue-heeler, falls overboard in the shark-infested waters of the Great Barrier Reef. She swims to a nature reserve, and lives off the land until rescued. Pearse, an Australian journo living in New York City, recreates her story from various perspectives.
