Thank you Netgalley and Algonquin Books for letting me read and review this book. I haven't read one of the Algonquin Readers before, and I am glad I got the chance. This gives us an inside look at Algonquin’s outstanding Spring/Summer 2021 fiction. "Discover the inspiration behind each book through an original essay by the author. Then enjoy an excerpt from each novel. The books featured in this issue are: Silence Is a Sense by Layla AlAmmar, Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge, A Theater for Dreamers by Polly Samson, Legends of the North Cascades by Jonathan Evison, The Temple House Vanishing by Rachel Donohue, and Hot Stew by Fiona Mozley. I enjoyed getting a look into each of these books and knowing when they will be published.

I enjoyed reading the different essays and excerpts.
I particularly appreciated the diversity in literary pieces, backgrounds and styles.

This is a nice collection that helped me discover the whole anthology available at https://www.algonquin.com/the-algonquin-reader

Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC copy made available, for which I am leaving a voluntary review.

It is such a treat to get these samples of upcoming books. Working in a bookstore, you are inundated with so many great books, it is hard to figure out what to pick up next. This lead me to A Theatre for Dreamers by Polly Samson which I thoroughly enjoyed!

Love when publishers provide these types of sneak peak bundles. Gives readers a chance to see new books and easily discover whether a writing style works for them or not.

What a joy to read authors' essays alongside excerpts from their recently-published books. Thank you for making this collection available.

Algonquin consistently publishes fiction that is of high quality. In this sampler, readers get a peek at six recently released novels. They are Silence is a Sense, Libertie, A Theater for Dreamers, Legends of the North Cascades, and Hot Stew. For each title, the novelist has also written an essay that will add to a reader’s sense of the book. This collection of previews and more is a real treat and will likely inspire readers to add to their summer reading lists. I, myself, especially want to read Libertie and A Theater for Dreamers.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved reading excerpts from one of my favorite publishers. I truly added them all to my reading list. It always is a special touch to read about the author's intention. It truly helps me develop more of a connection to the book and it really enhances my reading experience. Thank you for the opportunity to read your selections. I am always looking for new ways to be introduced to new authors and stories that I might not be exposed to otherwise. I think my favorites are Hot Stew, Legends of the North Cascades, and The Temple House Vanishing!
Thank you Algonquin!

Love having one publication highlighting upcoming books for me

About! An invaluable source for a reader / especially in the busy summer reading months! Thanks for the copy - loved it! One stop shop resource. Perfect!!

I am so appreciative! I can't tell you how much I look forward to each edition of The Algonquin Reader! To get a preview of what will become some of the most unique and intriguing titles in a few months' time is truly a pleasure. This opportunity allows me to catch up with familiar authors and become acquainted with potential new favorites. Thank you!

I always love getting these readers. It's a great way to get excited about the up-and-coming releases. And the forecast is some highly anticipated books for Algonquin that you won't want to miss.

This was so fun to read! It included works by authors of two of my favorite books this year- Libertie and Hot Stew. I'll be picking Legends of the North Cascades up soon, so it was nice to get a taste of Evison's writing!

Thank you to Algonquin, as always, for an enjoyable Reader!

Thanks for creating this preview of soon to be published novels. I found a couple that I have requested and am looking forward to reading. I especially enjoyed the essays by the authors.

Algonquin Books is one of my favorite publishers, so It was wonderful to read excerpts from their most anticipated 2021 releases along with other content from the authors. I am most looking forward to reading Libertie and A Theater for Dreamers. Thank you Algonquin Books and NetGalley.
