Ask a bookseller

Every week, The Thread checks in with booksellers around the country about their favorite books of the moment.

Ask a Bookseller: 'The Poetics of Wrongness'
Evelyn Bauer of Papercuts Bookshop recommends “The Poetics of Wrongness” by poet Rachel Zucker. She challenges outdated paradigms of motherhood, feminism and poetics.
Ask a Bookseller: 'Here Goes Nothing'
"Here Goes Nothing" by Steve Toltz has whispers of the 1990 film "Ghost" and the NBC comedy "The Good Place," rolled up in an original and humorous tale.
Yani Rodriguez of Copperfish Books in Punta Gordo, Fla., was quick to share her staff pick with Ask a Bookseller. She loves the historical fiction novel “River, Sing Me Home,” by Eleanor Shearer.
