Chauffeured While Reading!
|
|
One of my favorite things about reading for a living is watching authors who I discovered as debut writers mature. One I have had my eye on was Michele Martinez, whose latest book COVER-UP will be in stores on March 13th. Michele's work gets better with each book (this is her third) and I truly love her style, as well as her characters. I see a huge future for her. We will have a feature about her starting next week.
An author who I found a bit later, but still was reading before many people knew her, is Lisa Gardner. I spent last weekend reading her new one, HIDE, which is in stores Tuesday. It's a really terrific read where she brings back some of her characters from ALONE. She's another author I am glad I discovered when I did.
Oprah made her first book club pick of 2007 today and it's THE MEASURE OF A MAN: A Spiritual Autobiography by Sidney Poitier. While we seem to be awash in celebrity memoirs, Poitier has a distinctly altruistic take on writing about his life. "I have no wish to play the pontificating fool, pretending that I've suddenly come up with the answers to all life's questions." He says, "Quite the contrary, I began this book as an exploration, an exercise in self-questing. In other words, I wanted to find out, as I looked back at a long and complicated life, with many twists and turns, how well I've done at measuring up to the values I myself have set." I have heard that Poitier is a great person and I look forward to hearing what readers have to say about this one.
This week we have an interview with Frank Turner Hollon, whose book BLOOD AND CIRCUMSTANCE was highly recommended by Joe Hartlaub. I had read Hollon's THE POINT OF FRACTURE last year and enjoyed it, and thus I am really excited about sharing this one with you. The books are very different, but both are very well done. We also have an interview with Gayle Brandeis, whose book SELF STORAGE is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Alexis Burling's interview and review will give you a good taste of it.
We have advance reader comments for our featured Mystery Mayhem author Deanna Raybourn. The verdict on her page-turner SILENT IN THE GRAVE (which I loved, by the way) --- most of our readers couldn't put it down either and loved Deanna's distinct blend of history and thrills. Every reader I have shared this book with really enjoyed it and I already am looking forward to her next one. Confession here. I usually do not love historical thrillers, but this one was a hands down winner, which makes me very glad I read it.
January's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes THE TEMPLAR LEGACY by Steve Berry, a mix of modern-day thrills and ancient religious mysteries that fans of THE DA VINCI CODE will devour; DEATH DANCE, Linda Fairstein's eighth Alexandra Cooper novel, in which the Assistant DA investigates the disappearance of a world-famous dancer; THE JURY MASTER, a legal thriller from Robert Dugoni that introduces readers to attorney David Sloane, who teams up with a former CIA agent to try to solve a murder purposely cast as a suicide; SAVANNAH BREEZE by Mary Kay Andrews, the eagerly awaited sequel to 2002's SAVANNAH BLUES featuring Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk; and LOVE AND OTHER IMPOSSIBLE PURSUITS, Ayelet Waldman's insightful psychological portrait of a woman grieving over the death of her newborn daughter and unable to connect with her stepson.
Among our nonfiction highlights are EAT, PRAY, LOVE, Elizabeth Gilbert's deeply personal chronicle of the year she spent living in three different countries in order to better understand herself and her ultimate place in the universe; THE DEAD BEAT, Marilyn Johnson's diverting look at the world of those who write about the dead for a living; and AT CANAAN'S EDGE, the concluding volume in Taylor Branch's history of the Civil Rights Movement and a powerful rendering of Martin Luther King's final years. See the feature here.
The American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and largest library association in the world, has announced its 2007 awards, honoring the best children's and young adult books published in 2006. We have all the winners, as well as more information about the awards, listed on Teenreads.com and Kidsreads.com.
We have the winners and honorees of the John Newbery Medal, Randolph Caldecott Medal, Michael L. Printz Award, Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award, Coretta Scott King Award, the Alex Awards, the Margaret A. Edwards Award, the Theodor Seuss Geisel Beginning Reader Award and the Schneider Family Book Award. My personal favorite is the Alex Awards as they were created to recognize that many teens enjoy and often prefer books written for adults, and to assist librarians (and teachers and parents) in recommending adult books that appeal to teens. Considering my younger son just finished a book report on THE FIRM by John Grisham, I think I can speak from experience when I say that there are adult books that are good reading for teens. I confess I do not want him to skip YA books though, since I think some very sharp writing is coming out of this genre.
Both of my boys have birthdays this week and thus I am in a chocolate marble cake with chocolate frosting swirl kind of mood. This weekend will be more celebrating and Monday my older son takes his driving test. I figure for the first month he can drive to the end of the block and back. We'll use the same theory I adopted when I first let him ride his bike in the street. He told me he thought he could head to PA and do a road trip in February. I am thinking February 2020. Of course, when I was 17 I was driving to New York, the beach and Washington, DC, but I think there were fewer people driving and they were more sane. Or so I amuse myself thinking. I do like how much reading and knitting I have been getting done since he has been learning to drive. Since he is willing to drive everywhere and anywhere it's been like having a personal chauffeur.
Cold weekend ahead thus the fire in the fireplace will be accompanied by the new Lee Child book, which I am very much enjoying, called BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE. It will be out in May. I love the menu at Tabla, a restaurant that has Indian-fused American cuisine here in the city. Thus I am very excited about cooking from ONE SPICE TWO SPICE, the cookbook created by the restaurant's chef, Floyd Cardoz. I have been marking up a menu I want to try all week. Last week when I ate at Tabla I was trying things with the * marking that they were in the book so I had a reference point on making them. Should be fun. Have a great week. Stay warm.

Bookreporter.com Talks to Frank Turner Hollon, Author of BLOOD AND CIRCUMSTANCE
|
|
Frank Turner Hollon has written numerous short stories and is the author of THE GOD FILE, THE PAINS OF APRIL, LIFE IS A STRANGE PLACE, A THIN DIFFERENCE and THE POINT OF FRACTURE. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Joe Hartlaub, Hollon discusses how the "lost art of one-on-one conversation" drove the plot of his latest novel, BLOOD AND CIRCUMSTANCE, and explains how his experiences practicing law allowed him to accurately portray both legal and psychological matters in his writing. He also describes his meticulous writing process, reveals the motivation behind his foray into the world of children's literature, and shares details about the possibility of a movie adaptation of his previous work.
BLOOD AND CIRCUMSTANCE by Frank Turner Hollon (Thriller)
Joel Stabler takes the life of his beloved brother Danny in what appears to be a mercy killing. When Joel's lawyers assign a psychologist to determine his sanity at the time of the shooting, the full story of his brothers' past --- and long family history of mental illness --- begins to unfold.

Bookreporter.com Talks to Gayle Brandeis, Author of SELF STORAGE
|
 |
Gayle Brandeis is the acclaimed and award-winning author of several novels, essays, and volumes of poetry, such as THE BOOK OF DEAD BIRDS and FRUITFLESH. The idea for her latest work of fiction, SELF STORAGE, arose from both a personal loss and a conversation with a stranger on an airplane. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Alexis Burling, Brandeis describes how she stumbled upon the unusual plot and elaborates on its themes of self discovery and cultural difference. She also discusses how the work of Walt Whitman has impacted both her writing and her personal life, touches upon how people define themselves through their physical appearances and addresses the controversial topic of the war in the Middle East.
SELF STORAGE by Gayle Brandeis (Fiction)
Set during the year following the September 11th attacks, SELF STORAGE explores the raw insecurities of a changed society. Gayle Brandeis takes a peek into the souls of a woman and a community --- and reveals that it is not our differences that drive us apart but our willful concealment of the qualities that connect us.

More about IN THE COUNTRY OF MEN:
Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman's days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood: outings to the ruins surrounding Tripoli, games with friends played under the burning sun, exotic gifts from his father's constant business trips abroad. But his nights have come to revolve around his mother's increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie?
IN THE COUNTRY OF MEN is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.

More About GOSPEL TRUTHS:
They have been drawn into a plot more insidious than anything they could have imagined --- a battle to control one of religion's greatest secrets. For English detective Nigel Lyman, it begins with the suspicious suicide of a corrupt Italian banker in London. For French-born Mariane Soury-Fontaine, it starts with the mysterious disappearance of her lover. And for American mathematician Joseph Koster, the search leads through France's soaring cathedrals to the baffling labyrinths that masons once carefully inscribed in their floors.
These strangers are about to crack a code that dozens have died for, a puzzle whose power reaches back to the birth of the Christian faith, through the echoing halls of the Vatican, and to the dark, corrupt realms of organized crime. Now staying alive is the ultimate challenge. Because the next revelation is the most forbidden of all...
