Recommendations from Under the Radar
August 25th, 2007 by Eisha and Jules
Hi there. Just a quick note to tell you about yet another multi-blog event about books organized by Colleen Mondor, this one entitled “Recommendations from Under the Radar.” As Colleen explains in her post about the event next week and its origin:
“Next week the same group that brought the Summer Blog Blast Tour and recent One Shot World Tour of Australia to life will be posting about books we all individually feel have been overlooked. Some of them might have been award winners in the distant past, and some are even out of print, but all of them are books that each of us have enjoyed and want to tell more people about. We’re calling the event ‘Recommendations From Under the Radar’ (or Radar Books for short) and we really hope you guys will check us out and, more importantly, track down some of these great books as well.”
Colleen has posted a master schedule as well — a schedule for the entire week — at Chasing Ray. You can go here to see it, and we will post the schedule for each day next week here at our blog. And what will 7-Imp’s contribution be? you may wonder.
- On Thursday, August 30th, Jules will highlight Nancy Crocker’s recent YA title, Billie Standish Was Here (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers; June 2007; reviewed back here in May) and will be featuring an interview with her.
- On Friday, August 31st, Eisha will highlight Such a Pretty Face: Short Stories About Beauty (Amulet; May 2007), edited by Ann Angel.
This means that next week here at 7-Imp, we’ll be focusing on these Radar Recommendations. Each day we’ll type up the schedule of Radar Books for the day so that it will be a cinch for you to locate which blogs are talking about what books. And, of course, on Thursday and Friday we’ll also feature our Radar Books — as well as Jules’ interview with the very talented and delightful Ms. Crocker. The following week we’ll get back to our regular reviews and interviews and such (Jules, for one, has a huge stack of books yet to review).
And tomorrow, as usual, we’ll be here with our Kicks list, featuring the seven-kinds-of-awesome Michael Foreman.

I’ve been looking for Such a Pretty Face for eons.
I’m bouncing in my chair…can’t wait! Can’t wait!
Nice image, too, Little Willow.
Thanks, Sara.
LW, I think you’d like it.
