Booklist Review of the Day |
Earth’s Wild Music
by Kathleen Dean Moore
With nature in peril, nature writers, Moore avers, must “bear witness, beat the warning drum . . . blow the whistle, call all-hands-on-deck,” and she does so with authority and conviction in her newest, gracefully structured gathering of 32 essays “drawn from a lifetime of loving the world.”

Top of the List Listen-Alikes: Clap When You Land
by Heather Booth
Elizabeth Acevedo and Melania-Luisa Marte’s performance on Acevedo’s verse novel, Clap When You Land, is particularly notable for its seamless dual narration, and in its skill in evoking poetry’s rhythm and emotion. As two sisters, one in the Dominican Republic and one in New York, learn of each other’s existence after the tragic death of their father, they struggle to make sense of their past, their future, themselves, and their relationship. Each of these titles is recommended as a listen-alike that connects with various pieces of the performance.
