Young Adult Titles Featured in LibraryBub Selection for January

admin 0 Comments January 2, 2023

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — In a recent assessment of trends in Young Adult publishing, Toni Fitzgerald writes that “T he most successful and relatable YA authors grasp the essential emotions of being a teen. The writers tackle wildly varied subjects… but at the base of it all, feelings drive YA literature…” Paula Paul’s novel Colors of Truth examines the parallel lives of two teenaged girls in small-town Texas in the 1950s. A Goodreads reviewer writes, “I loved the characters and reading about Caroline’s awakening to the evil in her community and country. Her sense of outrage as she realizes the happenings in the war and sees the racism in her own community propels her to act in ways that she never thought possible.” A self-help guide written by Laya Saul for adolescents, You Don’t Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way is recommended by the Teens Read Too blog “for a young adult looking for a handbook to get through the tough times of adolescence”.

LibraryBub, an industry first, was established in 2015. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Novelist Haruki Murakami explains the role of libraries in his process of researching the fiction he writes. “I’d been trying to write about the war, but it wasn’t easy for me… I went to the library every day, reading books, mostly history books. They have a good collection of books about what happened… Most people go to a place to research before writing the book, but I did the opposite.” He depended on what others had written. “Imagination is the most important asset of mine, so I didn’t spoil my imagination by going there.” Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people’s lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.

“The LibraryBub system is not only unique, but is one of the best forms of advertising.” That’s the experience of Canadian author John Murray. “Where else,” he wonders, “could I have reached hundreds of people whose job it is to buy books?” It is true that we await to see the ultimate result, but the economics is beyond question.”
