100+ Starred Reviews (in 3 years)
Team LQ at LQHQ in Hoboken, NJ.
Today we celebrate a milestone: +100 starred reviews in 3 years!
If you want to get technical, we have 102 starred reviews. Two new stars arrived in the time we started this post. From our launch in August 2020, we’ve maintained a list of our starred review titles. Since then, our list has grown to almost 80 titles and over half of those books have garnered starred reviews. Find them sorted by year: 2020, 2021, and 2022 (so far).
Three years is a relatively short time in publishing years, and that’s why this is so meaningful. Thank you to the artists, writers, and translators we get to work with. Thank you to the trade journals. And Thanks to our distribution partner Chronicle Books and the entire LQ family.
