hot books for fall

Two or three times a year, Katie and I (Hi! It's Holley here!) host a presentation of new books to be published about which we and/or publishers are excited.  Our last book preview program was earlier this month and, due to popular demand, we're sharing it with everyone!  Keep in mind, most of these books have not yet been published and may not yet be available to order.  I have included links to the PLJC's catalog, where available!
