On a trip to the bookstore this summer, I saw three new releases that caught my attention and I decided to reserve the titles from the library and see how I found them. All three were new-to-me authors and I had no idea what genres they would cover. My only clues about each book was from doing a Page 112 tag where I read a single page to see how I liked the writing.

The three new titles are:

• Meet Me at the Museum /Anne Youngson
• The Emperor of Shoes /Spencer Wise
• The Mandela Plot /Kenneth Bonert

What about you? What book have you read without knowing anything about the author or what themes the story would explore. What was your experience like – did you find some new favorites?
