Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

If you’re wondering where you’ll get your productivity-boosting dose of cute today, BTT is here to help. Cue majestic score and behold: Puppyhood. As for a review, well… After naming it the Booklist Top of the “books we would rather selfishly keep for ourselves than share with reviewers” List and further deciding there wasn’t one [...]

How many pupils do you have? This book trailerite cartoon man has two… in each eye. We better pay attention to what he has to say. Keir’s starred review tells us that the rolly-eye doctor and apparent mythology expert is the cultish headmaster of a school for troubled teens, the backdrop for this “wonderful and [...]

Once in a great while, a book trailer comes along to make you forget all the book trailers that came before it: the ones who let you down; the ones you loved but everyone else said were bad for you; the ones who suggested you watch some really terrible Youtube videos after their own time [...]

We reviewed her, we blogged about her, and yet our search for Bernadette continues. Now it’s time for Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette? to get trailered.

Today’s trailer is for The Other Woman, a starred review from our freshly minted September 1st issue.

And get excited!

Rats! You just flipped back to BTT during a commercial break. …or did you? Surprise! A book trailer after all, for Charles Yu’s first story collection Sorry Please Thank You, where he “explores losers, loners, and lovers in the digital age.” I’ll borrow Booklist reviewer Jonathan Fullmer’s words again to declare this trailer “refreshingly distinctive.”

At first glance, this short promo for Chelsea Cain’s Kill You Twice looks like another book-trailer-slash-workout-video, but.. I don’t think this is what most people mean when they say running makes them “feel like dying.” Since I’ve only borrowed a measly 30 seconds of your time so far, let’s look at this second trailer, which [...]

In the trailer for Laurie Frankel’s Goodbye for Now Sherlock Holmes says “Awesome!,” The Scream screams the first book endorsement in history made by a painting, and… someone get Virginia Woolf away from that glass of water!
