Foreword Reviews is pleased to share a new installment to Petit Foreword, our series of bite-sized interviews with indie authors! This week we were joined by Mike Rothschild, author of "Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories."
Among the myriad ways we can do the earth a favor, adopting a more enlightened approach to what we put on our bodies can be both fulfilling
Practicing eco-friendly fashion can be a daunting task if you don't know where to start! What brands should you buy? How often should you thrift instead? Well, not all of the questions can be answered at once, but we can help you get started with this - our newest edition of #ForewordThisWeek !!
"Among the myriad ways we can do the earth a favor, adopting a more enlightened approach to what we put on our bodies can be both fulfilling and fun. And if the movement catches on, remarkable progress can be made in lessening waste, moving the fashion industry away from fossil-fuel based fabrics and microplastics and improving the lives of garment workers.
Sophie Benson is with us today to talk about how you can make your wardrobe sustainable without sacrificing style. A former fashion consultant, she’s the new author of Sustainable Wardrobe, which makes her the perfect guide to changing our clothing habits for the betterment of our planet.
If not now, when?
Allison Janicki gave SW a glowing review in Foreword’s September/October issue, and with the help of the conscientious people at White Lion Publishing, we got the author and the reviewer together for a chat."

Hey you over there! Do you want to see our favorite books from last week? Well, you're in luck. We happened to put this Book of the Day Roundup together JUST for you!

REVIEWER RACHEL JAGARESKI INTERVIEWS FLORIAN SCHÄFER AND JANIN PISAREK, AUTHORS OF HAUSGEISTER!
"All religions have trouble playing nice in the playground of life, but Christianity may deserve the biggest-bully-of-all title. See: the crusades, the inquisitions, and even the Holocaust, which only gained its foothold in Nazi Germany after centuries of antisemitism in Europe.
But today we’re going to look at an especially vulnerable target of Christian wrath: the wichtel, moosweibchen, draks, geldmannlein, kobolds, poltergeists, and other supernatural beings that used to inhabit the homes and wooded regions of Northern Europe. This time, the church chose to demonize the creatures as a means to combatting superstition overall.
Florian Schäfer and Janin Pisarek, are scholars of the house spirits of the German-speaking world—bet you didn’t know that major was available when you went to college—and their years of study led to the fascinating Hausgeister!, which earned a great review by Rachel Jagareski in the pages of Foreword.
Their conversation reveals that there wasn’t much to fear in these creatures. In fact, Rachel gets Florian and Janin to admit which spirit they’d invite into their own home.
Enjoy."

Check back with us every week for these great interviews with indie authors.

It's hard to be surprised by headlines now-a-days.
Although, amidst an unprecedented assault on libraries & literature, this recent news from Montana seems alarming.
The Montana State Library Commission voted to withdraw from the American Library Association due to comments made by the incoming president, Emily Drabinski, who described herself as a "Marxist lesbian" in a now-deleted Tweet. The commission argued that their duty to the Constitution prevented them from associating with a Marxist-led organization.
In a release, the American Library Association offered a matter-of-fact response to the Montana state library commission's decision to withdraw. "ALA presidents are elected by its membership to serve a term of one year and make decisions facing the membership in concert with a 15-member elected executive board and a 131-member elected council," the statement notes. However, they did not go as far as to defend Drabinski, an accomplished and highly respected librarian who has since been targeted by right-wing political forces.
The Montana Library Association expressed deep regret over the commission's decision, highlighting the loss of essential training and resources for library professionals in the state. They called for reconsideration, emphasizing the importance of serving the public good and the long-term interests of all Montanans.
We are over-the-moon with the outcome of the premiere installment of our new Library Insights Summit! It couldn't have been done without all of our incredible partner, patrons, panelists and the American Library Association (ALA).
In fact, we had such a good time - we might just do it again! (Spoiler Alert: We will)
"The program featured presentations from distinguished library and publishing professionals including keynotes by former ALA president Sari Feldman and New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo. Nearly one hundred book industry representatives and librarians were in attendance."

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, our countries "second Independence Day" - as the Smithsonian Museum puts it. Although it has long celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event is only just coming to the forefront of most American's eyes. The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times.
