We’re excited that they picked three of our books to appear on the coveted INDIE NEXT LIST this December.

Crush It! Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk

(HarperStudio, $19.99, 9780061914171)

“Refreshingly free of BS jargon (that would stand for Business School, of course!) Crush It! explains exactly why your business should engage in the world of social media, and it tells you how to do it. Vaynerchuk (better known as @GaryVee — if you don’t know what this means you need to read this book) built a $60 million wine business largely using free Internet tools, and his book will convince you that you can too.” –Rich Rennicks, Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe, Asheville, NC

Double Take: A Memoir by Kevin Michael Connolly

(HarperStudio, $19.99, 9780061791536)

“Kevin Connolly was born without legs, but raised to believe he is no different from anyone else. He graduated with a degree in photography and now travels all over the world on a skateboard taking pictures of peoples’ reactions to him. Connolly is a great writer, and Double Take is entertaining, funny, and enthusiastic. I can’t stress enough how entertaining it is.” –Mary Jane DiSanti, Country Bookshelf, Bozeman, MT

Get Cooking: 150 Simple Recipes to Get You Started in the Kitchen by Mollie Katzen (HarperStudio, $24.99 paper, 9780061732430)

Indie Next Notable Pick

Stop into one of their stores and we’re sure they’ll lead you to a book you won’t soon forget.

Working in marketing for publishers for oh so many years now………..I cringed and laughed reading this week’s “Shouts and Murmurs” piece which, upon posting, I will immediately tweet.

The other night I had my first real HarperStudio experience. I call it that because it was experimental and different. I’ve been to author events before, but not in this capacity. With just my laptop, we live streamed. Isabella Rossellini’s event for GREEN PORNO at a local bookstore. It was a great event—Isabella is charming, funny and very knowledgeable about how whales reproduce. We had a good crowd, good films, good questions. And we had viewers tune in to the event on their computers at home to watch live. Don’t worry if you missed it, you can see it here:
