14 December 2015
A weekly series, published each Monday, sharing a selected list of new nonfiction titles to be published during the week. List originally published at The Reader's Advisor Online. Text in bold is commentary.
Berry, Jo – PewDiePie: The Ultimate Unofficial Fan Guide to The World’s Biggest YouTuber. Okay, I keep seeing this name "PewDiePie," so I went and watched a couple of his YouTube videos. This guy has the most subscribed-to YouTube channel? Here's something I've just been waiting to get old enough to say: those crazy kids these days. I don't get it.
Hidalgo, Pablo – Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary. If you're a big Star Wars fan you're probably having a great week. If you liked Star Wars okay but largely lost interest once a. Han Solo ceased to be a major part of the story line, and b. Han Solo got old, you probably won't by this week's bumper crop of Star Wars books.
Maxwell, John -JumpStart Your Thinking. Maxwell is an inspirational and leadership writer whose endorsements include blurbs from Ben Carson and Elizabeth Dole.
Szostak, Phil – The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
So. Short list this week--everything's slowing down for the holidays. Anything look good there?
