I REGRET ALMOST EVERYTHING is a memoir by the legendary proprietor of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern and Morandi. Keith McNally takes us from his gritty London childhood in the ’50s to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where he founded the era-defining establishments the Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg and Nell’s. Eloquent and opinionated, McNally writes about the angst of being a child actor, his lack of insights from traveling overland to Kathmandu at 19, the instability of his two marriages and family relationships, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety.

When Jennifer Hope Choi first stumbled upon the “curse” known as yeokmasal --- an allegedly inheritable affliction causing one to roam farther and farther from home --- she immediately consulted her mother. “Oh yeah,” Umma quipped. “I have that.” Technically this wasn’t a revelation. Since 2007, the no-nonsense open-heart surgery nurse had moved suddenly from the Golden State to the Last Frontier, shuttling over the next decade through seven states. For much of her adulthood, Choi had fancied herself nothing like her immigrant mother --- until life in Brooklyn imploded, spurring her to relocate to South Carolina and reckon with startling truths. This probing memoir follows Choi through her many former homes, from a crumbling Chinatown tenement to a haunted museum in Georgia.

“Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil,” Andy Warhol confessed, “of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them.” Obsessed with celebrity, the silver-wigged artistic icon created an ever-evolving entourage of stunning women he dubbed his “Superstars” --- Baby Jane Holzer, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Ultra Violet, Viva, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, International Velvet, Mary Woronov and Candy Darling. He gave several of them new names and manipulated their beauty and talent for his art and social status with no regard for their safety, their dignity or their lives. In WARHOL’S MUSES, Laurence Leamer shines a spotlight on the complex women who inspired and starred in Warhol’s legendary underground films.

I did the homework, so you don’t have to do as much. I talked to lots of experts, and lots of dads, and lots of experts who are also dads. I read everything I could. Then I wrote and rewrote this book, filled with steps you can take to become a better dad. Start with a hug. Talk to them before they can speak. Then talk about everything. Read to your kids. Then flip things around. Let them read to you. Tell your kids your story. Help them discover who they are. Deep down inside. Have your kids’ backs. One day, they’ll have yours. Every day, just show up.

On February 3, 1889, just two days shy of her 41st birthday, Myra Maybelle Shirley --- better known at that point by her outlaw sobriquet “Belle Starr” --- was blown from her horse saddle and killed by a pair of shotgun blasts, delivered by an unseen assailant, only a few miles away from her home in the Indian Territory of present-day Oklahoma. Thus ended the life of one of the most colorful, authentic and dangerous women in the history of the American West. In QUEEN OF ALL MAYHEM, Dane Huckelbridge probes a life rich in contradictions and intrigue. Why did a woman who had considerable advantages in life --- a good family, a decent education, solid marriage prospects, a clear path to financial security --- choose to pursue a life of crime?

Timothy M. Gay writes that Rory McIlroy is “golf’s ageless Opie Taylor,” a freckled superstar whose boyish charm transcends national boundaries and enlivens the game. His seemingly effortless swing is so powerful that Tiger Woods is teaching his own son to mimic Rory’s action. But a charismatic persona and a pretty swing don’t necessarily translate into winning major championships. Over the past decade, Rory has had his heart ripped out as he’s failed to win another major and fallen short of achieving the career Grand Slam. (That all changed when, following the writing of this book, Rory won the Masters for his fifth major and the career Grand Slam.) RORY LAND tells the up-and-down saga of a compassionate and kindhearted superstar living in a world where “money has no conscience.”
