We are starting a new mini video show we lovingly refer to as “New This Week.” Every week we will post a short video about the books that are coming out on Wednesday that we are excited for or just curious about. You might end up hearing about them on the POW (Pick of the Week) or read about them in a review on the site. Make sure to check out our first “New This Week” with Ian giving you the rundown on the books for August 25th 2010.
