Debut Discourse on Success Featured in LibraryBub Selection for January

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Success can be an elusive goal," Holly Burns writes, "with countless people striving to achieve it, however, understanding the principles and practices that underpin success can be transformative. A wealth of literature exists, offering guidance and inspiration for those looking to unlock their full potential." In his debut book Adapt, Raghavan Venugopal shapes his discourse on success in the form of a novel set in 2011. Barbara Bamberger Scott in her Feathered Quill review recognizes his "clear gift for engaging storytelling" shown in "an allegorical tapestry of vibrant and vital connections between work life, family scenarios and inner contemplation". His central character wants to know how to find success as a leader. In his book Disruptive Leadership, Christopher Catranis reveals eight successful approaches to running a business that might seem counterintuitive. A Goodreads reviewer admires its fresh approach and considers it deserving of wide attention. "The value of this book is the frank and warmly humorous manner in which Christopher delivers his principles of enlightenment, success and change…"

Established in 2015, LibraryBub is an industry first. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers.  Novelist Joseph Kanon declares that in a very real way, his life began in his local library. "I grew up in a Pennsylvania coal town where there were no bookstores at all [and] the only available books were paperbacks in wire racks at the drugstore whose covers invariably featured men with guns and women with torn blouses... Nothing else. Except the library, a red brick building on Prospect Street that was like Aladdin's cave to me, filled with treasures. I can still remember the day I got my first card and was allowed to take three books home, grown-up books, not picture books." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
