We’re taking a week-long break from our usual “Bookreporter Talks To” interviews to bring you something different. The American Bookseller Association’s Winter Institute brings hundreds of booksellers from around the country for networking, educating, and introducing upcoming books. ALA’s Midwinter Meeting does the same for librarians. Carol takes a journey to both events and finds authors to share their new novels. Here we’ve got thirteen books you’ll want to keep an eye out for in 2020!
