It's the second week out for #4 in the Ernest Cunningham mysteries. Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief is recommended by our buyer Jason and also by fans and reviewers.

Still, even the most seasoned mystery fans will struggle to beat him to the final reveal. This series continues to impress."

There are so many programs going on for Shorewood Reads featuring Happiness Falls that it gets its own paragraph instead of a parenthetical remark next to the title. I'm leading a book club discussion at North Shore Boulangerie on Thursday at 9 am (registration requested) and it all leads up to three author events on April 23 - There's a writing talk at 10 am, a discussion of working with non-speakers at 2 pm, Y, and a traditional converstaion at 6:30 in the evening at the library, on 3920 N Murray. No registration required for the evevning program, which is the one where we'll be selling books.

I am noticing more outdoorsy books on the hardcover and paperback nonfiction lists, so folks are really thinking spring now, despite some reports of not-so-great weather on Thursday. Gardening, birding, walking, regional traveling, and yes, even the rare fishing book!

9. America Is Wild, by Brad Timm, illustrated by Margaux Samson Abadie and Jill De Haan
10. Bud Finds Her Gift, by Robin Wall Kimmerer, illustrated by Naoko Stoop
It's not often that I look up a Wide-Eyed book and it's out of stock at all of Ingram's warehouses, but I've been told that since Baker and Taylor closed their library services, this is not as unusual. Brad Timm's America Is Wild!: A State-By-State Encyclopedia of American Wildlife follows the adult trend of springtime outside interests. School Library Journal wrote: "This richly detailed encyclopedia transports readers across the US, supporting an appreciation for the flora and fauna of the country and enhancing STEM curricula."
