You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host Liberty Hardy, and I'm little in the middle, but I've got much backlist.

Today is July 5, 2024, and for this week episode, I'm going to talk about a couple of great

backlist titles related to the week's new releases.

So hello, happy July!

I feel like June didn't even happen. Where did it go? I don't know perhaps behind the couch.

I hope everyone had a lovely first half of their year. Here we go with the second half. It's all exciting. There's

lots of great books coming. This is the episode for July 5th, which means that my favorite book

of the summer, The God of of the woods came out this week

is by Liz Moore and oh my goodness you will love it pick it up right now that's all I could say that's it that's the whole

episode just read lose more goodbye

just kidding I'm gonna tell you about a couple of great backless titles of course but first we're gonna hear from a sponsor

Abba ensue as you probably thought they would.

So Polly Johanson lets her best friend convince her to audition for Sperio Amig, a show on Swedish television

where Swedish Americans compete to win a reunion with their Swedish relatives.

Soon Polly's vying with seven other Americans in increasingly absurd challenges and learning a lot about herself along the way

A fish out of water tail filled with warmth optimism and wit

Big in Sweden by Sally Franson optimism and
