No need to wait for the latest summer releases when you have this list of best backlist books to check out.
This is the second part of our discussion today.
My well-read co-host, Larry Hoffer, is back to talk about our favorite older books and why these should be in your stack this year too.
Not familiar with the term backlist or frontlist books? The book industry groups published books into two types- frontlist (titles that have sold in the current year) and backlist (titles that are older than a year).
We have resurrected some of our top recommendations in this two-part series that can keep you company while you wait for your library holds to come in. Today we discuss our favorites that are two years or more older.
This list of older books have brought us great joy over our reading years and we can’t wait to tell you why these will make the perfect addition to your reading life too.
