Time Marches On: 28 Great New Reads

“Can spring be far behind?” If this (hopefully rhetorical) question from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind” has gotten you through a winter or 12, we feel your pain. There’s a glimpse of hope around the corner that maybe these cold blustery days are almost behind us, but just as importantly, there are lots of new books to read! Keep winter at bay with these fresh recommendations, hand-picked by our booksellers. Check out the list at Parnassus Books’s web site.

Ann Patchett — who in addition to being one of our favorite authors owns Parnassus Books — selected our current Book of the Month, Louise Erdrich’s The Night Watchman, as her recommendation on the list.
