Country People is our top non-event debut this week and it's the GMA Book Club pick for the month. It's a change of pace from North Woods, though one good argue his previous novel also had country people. 11 reviews on Bookmarks, including five raves. One of the raves is from Sarah Crown in The Guardian: "The surface structures in Country People may be sugar-spun, but the novel's foundations are solid, and its roots - the tangled and interconnected web of stories that gave rise to its new stories - are deliciously deep."

All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches is the third book from Ben Rhodes, a speechwriter himself. It came out in May, but is one of the many titles that tie into the current 250th celebrations. From Kirkus: "The book consistently enlivens its source material, complementing the text of speeches with memorable anecdotes and difficult truths about what men, as different as Obama and Reagan, termed America's 'experiment in democracy.'"

Here's the Hollywood Reporter piece from Lexi Carson with Christopher Nolan's response to some of the criticisms about the film, like why the dialogue isn't in ancient Greek. That was a joke.

Alice Olsen's sixth volume of Heartstopper came out Tuesday. It's the final installment, or so we've been told. Here's what she told The New York Times in the By the Book column: "Honestly, I don’t have any plans for spinoffs at the moment. I’ve adored spending time with these characters, but it’s been a pretty long time since I’ve been able to create some new characters and new stories, and I miss it!"
