The U.S. Book Show 2024: Artificial Intelligence, Audiobooks, and Movie Deals
|
|
by Terry Ballard

I had been a BookExpo attendee for decades, so I have tried to be a keen observer of trends in evolving events for publishers, booksellers, and, later on, librarians. When the pandemic hit, there was a feeling that it might all be done for good, but Publishers Weekly came through with a substitute conference called the U.S. Book Show—first as a virtual event, then as an in-person conference. In covering it the past couple of years, I have made a number of predictions about where things might be headed. Sadly, much of that was wrong, but my attempts call to mind a quote from Yogi Berra: "It's hard making predictions, especially about the future."

Last Seen in Sea Isle
by Jane Kelly (A Meg Daniels Mystery, #7)
Meg Daniels should know by now that wherever she goes, mystery follows. Her fiancé is taking classes at Stockton University and has befriended Grace Grant, a fellow later-in-life student. Under false pretenses, Grace asks Meg to visit her lavish beachfront house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on the same weekend she’s hosting a reunion of pals from the summer of 1969. Meg discovers that Grace is hoping she’ll track down Guy—last name unknown—who disappeared from Grace’s life on the day of the moon landing.
