Back when I was a Librarian, we lived and breathed by the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller List. It was my responsibility to print or photocopy the list every week and update our bestseller's display. (Also to purchase extra copies of particularly popular bestsellers.)
I haven't looked at the list in YEARS. Some of these surprise me:
A new translation of The Iliad made the list?!
Ken Follett is still alive?? (I looked him up, he's only 74.)
Danielle Steel is still alive?? ( I just looked her up, she's only 76 and has been married five(!) times. To be fair, I also looked up Ken Follett, he's only been married twice.)
I see some Christmas-themed books on the list!
I see a Disney manga! (“The Battle for Pumpkin King”)

TO ORDER GO TO: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/talking-back-by-rebecca-lbahy/ Please share/please repost [PROMO]#flpauthor #preorder #AwesomeCoverArt #poetry RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY
Rebecca L’Bahy is a poet, writer, and teacher originally from the metro-Boston area. Her poetry has been published in various literary journals including Leon Literary Review, Mom, Egg Review, and Halfway Down the Stairs. She holds degrees from Oberlin College (B.A. history) and Emerson College (MFA). Among her many jobs she has been an office assistant, paralegal, union organizer, reporter, bookseller, shoe model, gymnastics coach, and home daycare provider. Currently, she teaches in a public elementary school and occasionally facilitates creative writing workshops in-person and on-line. The proud mother of three daughters, L’Bahy is married and lives in Worcester County Massachusetts. Talking Back is her debut chapbook. You can learn more about her work at RebeccaLbahy.com or following her on twitter @LaBlahMs.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Talking Back by Rebecca L’Bahy
In Rebecca L’Bahy’s capable hands, interrogating domesticity and “talking back” to its critics proves to be a delightful poetic enterprise. With memorable detail and accomplished diction and syntax, L’Bahy explores the emotionally complex business of parenting-while-working, of being the child of an aging parent as well as the parent of a young child, of vividly recalling her past as she lives dynamically in the present. The art of making poetry and the business of daily life complement and inform one another in this captivating collection. I couldn’t put it down.
–Martha Collins
Talking Back marks the debut of a poet whose intensely wry, probing, and fearless work registers every nuance on the spectrum between rage and praise. In one poem, the rooster on the cornflakes box stares at her “from his one eye / like he wishes he could fly / off his cardboard world to someplace good.” In another, as she orders a tuna sandwich, she envisions the death of the fish, the men “stabbing with picks, going for the eyes, / stabbing the eyes behind my eyes.” Passionately diagnostic, rich in sonic and imaginative verve, attentive both to life’s gravities and its graces, these are poems that know in a world so desperate for saving even a simple, humble poem needs to become “a hero, / to hunt down the most powerful image.” Rebecca Lbahy’s poems never fail in that pursuit.
–Daniel Tobin
Rebecca L’Bahy’s poems are like a very good dark rye: welcoming, solid, made of real ingredients, nutritious. She writes out of her life as a suburban mother, a working woman, a Jew, a family member, someone engaged with the world around her. I can’t think of better poems about commuting and her poems about mothering are honest and moving.

By Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Faith Hicks, Brooke A. Allen, Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Carolyn Nowak, Various, Carey Pietsch, Maarta Laiho, Aubrey Aiese, Brittney Williams, Aimee Fleck, Rebecca Tobin, Felicia Choo, T. Zysk, Kat Leyh, and probably other people, but those are just the names I saw on Goodreads from Volumes 1-6.
I love, love, love this series. I haven’t read a lot of graphic novels/comic books, so this is a relatively new format for me. I like the friendships in this series, the supernatural elements, the camp leaders and counselors, and the way the story is progressing to show more of a mystery and the characters’ histories, both separately and together.
I got the first six volumes from the public library and will definitely be reading more of them as they become available.
WHY WOULD A HUFFLEPUFF READ THIS?
Not all five of the main characters are Hufflepuffs themselves, but as a unit, they embody some ideals, such as loyalty, teamwork, and friendship. For example, in Volume 5, April uses a camp motto, “Friendship to the max,” to get the others to do what she wants. She honestly thinks it’s the best thing to do, but it messes up everyone else’s plans. Once she realizes her mistake, she does her best to make it up to them.
