Apologies for once again being too swamped to be able to offer a book review, but here is the list of this week’s notable new releases.
In book news, the forced birth Supreme Court decision has spurred sales across the publishing industry, according to Publishers Weekly:
In the eight weeks between the leaking of a 98-page draft opinion against Roe v. Wade and the gutting of the constitutional right to an abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court last week, publishers revisited backlists, adjusted pub dates, rushed paperback editions, and ordered second printings of titles concerning reproductive rights. Booksellers, too, mobilized with shelf displays and fundraisers, taking to the streets and social media to demand justice and solidarity. Although books about abortion and healthcare did not land on bestseller lists between the May 2 leak and the June 24 ruling, publishers reported brisk sales and a rise in media attention for both frontlist and backlist titles.
In another article, Publisher’s Weekly looks at how religious publishing houses are themselves gearing up on the other side.
