Booklist's Annual Mystery and Thriller Spotlight is Now LIVE!

The May 1 issue of Booklist is always one of the best of the year. It's focused on Crime Fiction and this year it also has a spotlight on True Crime.

I do have two big name reviews in this issue, but I will post them on Monday. Today I want to point you to all of the amazing RA resources that are included in this issue and all focused on titles that have some of the most checkouts at your library.

However, before I get to those details, please remember that every issue of Booklist is a spotlight on something. That spotlight means there are lists of the top books in those categories, for all ages of readers-- including audio-- all available right at your fingertips. That is not even considering that there are extra reviews of upcoming books for said spotlight in that issue as well.

And, to make this RA rich information even more accesible, Booklist now has a print magazine-- Booklist Reader. It is similar to Book Page in terms of how you distribute it to your patrons, but made by librarians for librarians, sharing their most useful RA material with your patrons, directly.

Back to the spotlight articles and lists though. They are always available for free-- both the current and backlist lists. So they are a literal treasure trove of vetted best titles in the categories that you, the library worker, most care about. Every title is annotated as well, so you have information about the book to share with its best reader immediately.

Here are the lists and articles for this current spotlight with 2 years of backlist access include by me to help you add to your collections and help readers:
