Coming on July 31st: Harry Potter & the Cursed Child
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth Harry Potter story, and the first to officially be presented on stage. It will receive its world premiere in London's West End on 30th July 2016.
It will be released in book form on July 31, 2016.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.

 From Electric Lit, a very interesting article about "An In-Depth Look at What/How/Why Books Sell".
"9 Quotes on Parting in the Wake of Brexit" from Signature.
Apparently, Saturday was "World UFO Day"; For Reading Addicts bring us "5 Books to ready you for an alien invasion".
One of the many reasons I like Orange is the New Black (this is Joy), is their many book references. I haven't started season 4 yet, but Buzzfeed tells me this is "Every book referenced on season 4 of OITNB".
Aloha and a hui hou,
Brenda and Joy, owners
Shadow and Noble, cats
