Happy Tuesday! As soon as I saw the cover of Let's Have A Tree Party! by David Martin I knew that I had to get a copy in my hands. John Manders illustrations are similar to those in some of my favorite books, such as You Will Be My Friend! by Peter Brown and I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. I am also very excited to read Gail Carson Levine's Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It: False Apology Poems. Booklist finds that, "Levine includes [William Carlos] Williams' poem and encourages readers to write their own false-apology verses, in your own cruel ways. But, she warns, You have to be mean and grouchy." I am sure any fan of snark, wit and silly poems will enjoy this book!

New Title Tuesday
There are quite a few fantastic books being released this week, including the five listed below. We have heard a lot of advanced praise for King Peggy, the memoir from Peggielene Bartels who is the first female King of Otuham, a fishing village in Ghana. She was recently interviewed on NPR where she described how she splits her time between her village in Ghana and her American life in Washington D.C.

The Detour by Andromeda Romano-Lax.
“A gently haunting work of subtle and surprising wisdom.”—Booklist
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt is a 2011 Staff Favorite at Eagle Harbor Books. Janis recommends this book: "Fueled by alcohol and mixed with eccentric and rambunctious personalities, it is a delightful tale, and a must-read to the end."
All There Is by Dave Isay. This book is perfect for your Valentine's Day sweetie. This touching collection includes an array of love & marriage stories collected through the oral history project, StoryCorps.
Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo has received spectacular reviews from the New York Times, the Seattle Times, & USA Today.

New Title Tuesday
It is, by far, the most fun to receive & sell books on a Tuesday. This is the day when publishers release new hardcover and paperback titles. It is also the day when I get to see which new books I want to snatch up and hide away in my cubbie. This week we have some awesome new titles hitting our shelves, including the most recent suspense novel by Seattle author Matt Ruff (who will be visiting our store on February 19th!).
(for anyone obsessed with The Hunger Games -- ridiculously funny!)
