You Could Have Discovered Them Here First

With only one season and six episodes in the 'can' Titlepage.tv demonstrated an impressive track record of snagging authors whose books landed, some multiple times, on 2008's Best of lists.

Starting with Publishers Weekly's list, there is Richard Price who appeared in our debut episode, All Over the Map, as well as Aleksandar Hemon and Nam Le who both appeared in Episode 5, Found in Translation. A fourth book that made that list, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle was one of the books recommended by our host, Daniel Maneker.

Richard Price's Lush Life, David Wroblewski's The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and a new entry, Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, episode 4 Inside Out, made it to the Washington Post's Best Books of 2008 list.

The New York Times picked Charles Bock's debut novel Beautiful Children for its best of 2008 list, alongside Price's Lush Life, Le's The Boat, and Hemon's The Lazarus Project. Bock appeared with Price on our first episode.  

If you missed the shows when we first posted them, its not too late to view them now. While you're at it, subscribe to our updates, so we can let you know when we are back with season 2!
