Don’t Bury the ‘Hachette’: Check Out these Newly Added eBooks!

                    

You probably know that on May 8th, thousands of popular front-list eBook titles from Hachette Book Group were added to Content Reserve.  Featured Hachette authors include David Sedaris, James Patterson, Malcolm Gladwell and the list goes on. Just one week later, we have more good news – additional Hachette titles are now available! Newly added content includes:

 

"Art Girls Are Easy" by Julie Klausner  – This newly released YA comedy chronicles the life of prodigious art student Indigo Hamlisch and the crazy events during her last summer at Silver Springs, an all-girls Performing Arts Academy.  Listed as a mature and edgy YA read for all readers looking for a little inspiration, Art Girls will please all of your patrons.

 

"We Are Anonymous" by Parmy Olson – If you're more interested in an exposé on high-level hacking than the travails of a gifted teenybopper, this is the book for you.  Parmy Olsen takes a respite from her gig at Forbes to present an account of the intricate scheme pulled off by hacker groups Anonymous and LulzSec, and their ultimate downfall.  With glowing reviews the world around, Olsen will keep you on the edge of your seat.

 

"Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" by  Maria Semple– Looking for intrigue that's a little less intense? Look no further than this novel, which follows the search of a 15-year-old girl for her mother, Bernadette, who has suddenly vanished. This inventive and endearing book will appeal to a wide variety of your readers.

 

Bernadette, a humorous literature title, is set in Washington, which could be why it was recently named the feature title for a program called Spokane is Reading, sponsored largely by OverDrive partners Spokane County Library and Spokane Public Library. Debra Park, Adult Collection Development Librarian at SCLD was thrilled to hear about its availability as an eBook.

"SCLD just added copies of the EPUB now available from OverDrive in anticipation of Maria Semple speaking at our October 'Spokane is Reading' activities. Providing digital copies greatly extends the opportunities for library members through the county to read before meeting the author." – Debra Park

Bee may have trouble finding Bernadette in the novel, but you'll have no trouble finding these titles and many more in Content Reserve. We are creating a cart of these titles and will put it into your Content Reserve account in the next two days. For additional customized shopping carts, contact us today at collectionteam@overdrive.com.

U.S. and Canadian standalone library systems, schools, colleges and members of consortia that have an OverDrive Advantage account are eligible to add Hachette eBook titles to their digital collections.
