Copyrighted \u00a9 2024 by Gail Tsukiyama. From the Publisher A s usual, we present a bounty of recommen- dations in this issue, but I\u2019m focused on the musical entries. See \u201cBroadway Musicals\u201d by Donna Seaman (p.4) and \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d by Kelly Ferreira (p.24). Years ago, I was a professional French Horn player, and now, motivated by these reading recommendations and life in general, I have a desire to dust off my horn and get back to my roots.<\/p>\n<p>Classical music has influenced me since I was about 13! And my interest in KPop Demon Hunters? Simple. My daughter is obsessed! I hope you enjoy this issue of Booklist Reader as well and even find inspiration here to get back to your roots. \u2014George Kendall gkendall@ala.org About Booklist Booklist is a book-review magazine that has been pub- lished by the American Library Association for more than 100 years and is widely viewed as offering the most reliable reviews to help libraries decide what to buy and to help library patrons and students decide what to read, view, or listen to.<\/p>\n<p>Rights &#038; Permissions Libraries that subscribe to Booklist may post a link to Booklist Reader on their websites, in patron-facing newsletters, and other library-marketing materials.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
