Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Library Journal's popular Librarian Shout 'n Share panel once again took center stage on the final day of BookExpo 2018, held May 30–June 1 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. Occupying the Downtown Stage, one of three main venues for special book and author events, the discussion was moderated by LJ Fiction Editor Wilda Williams and featured a mix of first-time and veteran librarian shouters: Stephanie Anderson, assistant director of selection, BookOps, New York and Brooklyn Public Libraries; Gregg Winsor, reference librarian, Johnson County Library, Overland Park, KS; Jennifer Hubert Swan, middle school librarian and director of library services, Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School, NYC; and Shayera Tangri, senior librarian, Porter Ranch Branch Library, CA. As with last year's session, there was surprisingly very little overlap in the discoveries shared by panelists. Home After Dark, author/illustrator David Small's long-awaited follow-up to his 2011 National Book Award finalist Stitches, drew nods from Winsor, Swan, and Williams. Other titles attracting multiple attention included The Real Lolita, Sarah Weinman's investigation of the kidnapping that inspired Vladimir Nabokov's literary masterpiece; Stephen L. Carter's Invisible, which recounts the life of the author's remarkable grandmother, who helped take down 1930s gangster Lucky Luciano; and Sarah McCoy's Marilla of Green Gables, the much anticipated prequel to Lucy Maud Montgomery's Canadian classic, Anne of Green Gables. In 2017, A.J. Finn's The Woman in the Window was the Big Book of the show. No such thriller appeared on the horizon this year, but buzz is building for British screenwriter Alex Michaelides's chilling debut The Silent Patient, which will be released in early 2019 by Macmillan's new Celadon Books imprint. The following list includes all titles presented, in roughly the order mentioned, with bold titles indicating those selected by more than one panelist.
