It's no wonder Shadow of the Wind created an addictive phenomenon known as "Zafonmania" in its native Spain and throughout Europe when first published in hardback in 2001. Penguin has just published the paperback edition, giving new juice to the mystery/adventure/romance/coming-of-age bombshell.

 

 

 

7 From 75

A few weeks ago, playbackstl.com published "A Book for Every Stocking," a list of 75 pre-holiday-shopping book recommendations from me to you. The downer was that it was just a title-and-author affair, with no corresponding descriptions. So here now-at the start of a new year (happy that, by the way), when maybe you've scored some Xmas cash, or gift certificates, or just made some sort of New Year's resolution for taking more book recs from people you don't know-I'm offering expanded descriptions of seven of what I all but blood-promise will be rewarding reads. All are highly affordable paperbacks, save the last. Hope you connect with at least one.
