Bookworks Presents Today's Shelf Awareness for Readers by BWW News Desk
- October 17, 2014 One of the harder things for booksellers to admit is the number of acclaimed authors they haven't read. Sure, you can't read everything, but a book like Joseph O'Neill's Netherland (Vintage, $15.95), winner of the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award, certainly blips on the radar. Last week, I enjoyed lunch at Ravenna Third Place Books in Seattle while O'Neill spoke to a small crowd of us readers about his new novel, The Dog (Pantheon, $25.95). Following the often comic adventures of an American called only by his initial, X, in the startling metropolis of Dubai, O'Neill's fourth novel landed on the longlist for the 2014 Man Booker Prize. It was about time I became acquainted with his work.

- October 17, 2014 An intra-galactic war is set to destroy the earth unless five human scientists and an alien scientist can put a stop to it in Mohamed Moshrif's new science fiction novel 'Legends: Nomory' (published by Lulu).
In the year 2032, a Land Cruiser zips across the Egyptian desert, carrying Dr. Sarah Michael, the top Egyptologist, and four students. After months of searching, they finally discover an ancient tomb that holds the answers they seek. Once inside, the group becomes trapped with nothing but a mysterious hologram to guide them.
On the faraway planet of Nomory, chief scientist Monar shares the story he's been programmed to keep secret for centuries. Through Monar's hologram, the group learns of the intra-galactic war and the legends that saved the world. As Monar's story comes to a close, the group realizes the true reason for his tale: Monar is preparing them for war.
The fate of Earth rests in the hands of five human scientists in this action-packed science-fiction thriller. Moshrif advises readers to be on the lookout for the next installment in the series, which is due to be released in the near future.
'I want readers to immerse themselves into the world I am trying to create,' Moshrif writes. 'I want them to fight with their feelings and hopes for Monar and his team.'
