Booksellers Recommend Under-the-Radar Favorite Books (1.11) May 31, 2021

Show notes

There are few people who can give book recommendations as well as booksellers. In this week's episode of Misshelved, to tide us over between season one and season two, the independent booksellers from season one recommend some of their favorite under-the-radar backlist books.
If you find a book you are interested in on this list, we highly encourage you to buy it from the bookstore of the independent bookseller recommending it—or, if not, at least buying it through your local independent bookstore! Keep your hard-earned money in the communities that will support and uplift your love of reading.
