We’ve decided to expand the BRAVE and BRASS BOOKS blog to include a wider range of teen book related topics, not just reviews. One of our recent ideas is to implement a weekly service that lists titles recently released in hardcover and paperback, reprints included, titled New to the Scene. Our research will be derived from weekly trips to bookstores and montly visits to publisher websites. Our efforts will strive to generate a comphrensive Teen Fiction list with selected nonfiction titles. Because this is the first entry for New to the Scene, this post will include “new” titles released within the past few weeks.
