We here at the Independent love every piece we run. There are no winners or losers. Having said that, here are August’s winners.
- “5 New Kids’ Books for Kids Who Don’t Like Books.” It seems we’re not the only ones constantly on the hunt for good titles to inspire reluctant readers.
- An interview with author Okey Ndibe. The Nigerian-born writer’s insights into his new novel, Foreign Gods, Inc., drew big numbers last month.
- “11 Books to Read before You Die.” Not everyone agreed with Powell’s rundown of bucket-list reads, but that didn’t stop you from perusing it, anyway.
- Bedtime Stories. Apparently, you’re dying to know what books Jessica Anya Blau, Jennifer Niesslein, and Marion Winik are diving into next. And who can blame you?
- “Baltimore Story Collections.” Judging by the number of tweets and likes, David Taylor’s review of Rafael Alvarez’s Tales from the Holy Land and Clarinda Harriss’ The White Rail appealed to readers far outside of Charm City.
