Titles to Watch For NEXT WEEK: August 2-8, 2015

In this day and age, many readers are often already aware of and eagerly anticipating the next book from their favorite (or soon to be favorite) author. They may avidly check an author's website, follow a blog, or subscribe to a publisher's e-Newsletter. What readers may not be aware of is that most new book releases occur on Tuesday.

In previous 'Titles to Watch For' postings, I highlighted titles on Monday which would be coming out the very next day. After taking a break and giving it further consideration, I thought it might be more useful to spotlight titles due to hit shelves the following week.  

•  This will be helpful for collection development too because I will be checking reserves to see if more copies are needed to meet customer demand. :-)

In that vein, here are a few titles coming out next Tuesday:

With The Marriage of Opposites, Alice Hoffman offers a fictional biography of French painter Camille Pissarro, the "father of impressionism"
