A Week for the Books... |
 |
Last night I had the pleasure of attending a reading that Gregg Hurwitz did for his new book, TRUST NO ONE. I loved this book when I read a very early galley over the Christmas holiday and am glad we now can share it with you as it came out this week. Gregg told two wonderful back stories on things that influenced the book. He is a self-confessed insomniac, and the opener, which is dramatic and powerful (you can read it here), came to him one night when he was lying in bed and started thinking, “What is the worst thing that could happen at this time of night?” And from there he conceived the book’s opening scene that takes place at 2:18AM. He also was not allowed to watch television as a child except for Red Sox games and Hitchcock movies. Hitchcock very much influenced his writing as he liked the kind of a story where the character gets plunged in somewhere and from there it becomes a series of what ifs. Gregg is a terrific presenter, so if you ever get the opportunity to see him at a book reading or signing, go.
Remember last week when I reminded you that even in the rain you can read. I was thus amused to hear that Lucas Glover, the winner of the US Open, is a very avid reader, who read four books during his time on Long Island for the golf championship. Seems there was lots of time for reading during the rain delays. According to our local paper, he is as much a fan of Clive Cussler and Daniel Silva as he is of A.W.Tillinghast and Ronald Ross. He recommends THE LOST CITY OF Z by David Grann.
Obviously this reading/golf tie-in had an impact on my son, Cory. This week he went out to play in the junior golf league in our town, and besides clubs and his golf towel he had a book in his bag. When my husband questioned him about this, he said, “I had it in case things got slow. And there were a few times I almost pulled it out.” I was amused. You can see a picture of him with me the night of his graduation here. He had a haircut last weekend, thus ensuring that he was not immortalized at middle school graduation as a cross between a sheepdog, Ringo, and a child studying the Talmud.
THE FIXER UPPER by Mary Kay Andrews is in stores this week. I have been a fan of Andrews since her first book SAVANNAH BLUES, and this one was just such fun. I dare you to read these books and not want to click onto HGTV or redecorate once you are done. I sat in my office thinking “what if” as I was reading this and came up with an idea to knit a window treatment for the huge window that overlooks the street. This is one of those projects that will, um, take a while, so I will set a goal to have it done before Andrews’s NEXT book comes out. If an author can do a book a year, I can conquer one big project like this in a year too. Our reviewer Lourdes Orive, who is a huge Mary Kay fan, wrote me a gleeful note once she finished it. Her review includes this: “Perfect for a long weekend on the beach, THE FIXER UPPER is as satisfying as a cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day.” I concur with her.
Yesterday we received an email from Marjane Satrapi, the author of PERSEPOLIS, whose memoir is set in Iran and tells the story of Satrapi's early childhood there around the time of the Iranian revolution. As our review on Bookreporter.com says, "Those were particularly turbulent years for Satrapi's native country of Iran, encompassing the overthrow of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi (the Shah of Iran), the installation of the Islamic Republic, and the war with Iraq. The story is told entirely through the eyes of Satrapi, the child, and how these events affected her parents, her relatives, her friends, and herself." Thus this email from her is from the heart from one who understands the crisis that Iran is facing now all too well. Take a look here for details, and if you feel so moved, here is the petition to sign.
Some of you have written me asking about how you can search for titles on our Word of Mouth page since you would like to see what others are saying about books you may have read --- or want to read. You can do this using Bookreporter.com’s Search feature. In addition to the reviews and interviews we may have for a particular book, any discussion topics about the title posted in our Word of Mouth feature will appear in the search results as well.
We are launching a new Suspense/Thriller feature for UNDONE by Karin Slaughter. Over the years Karin has become one of my favorite authors. I had a really hectic week this week, but still kept picking up UNDONE whenever there was a moment. Fans of hers will be happy to see that Sara Linton, last seen in FAITHLESS, and Will Trent and Faith Mitchell, last seen in FRACTURED, all are in this book. For those who never have read Karin before, there’s enough back story about the characters to get you on the page quickly. I will not steal any thunder from the prologue, but if you read it here you will see why I wanted to keep reading. Right from the start, Karin’s portrayal of character, setting and plot are so keen that you will be settled in for more. We have 10 copies of UNDONE to give away to readers who would like to preview the book and comment about it. If you are interested, please fill out this form by Friday, July 3rd.
Reminder that the contest for this week’s Beach Bag of Books title, MERCURY IN RETROGRADE, is open until next Wednesday. Click on over to read more about this great romp of a beach read about three single women who live in the same apartment building.
The sad stories of the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson yesterday and the media coverage of them had me reliving memories of "Charlie’s Angels," the Jackson 5 and Thriller’s release from my growing up. I always thought both of them were a lot younger than they were. For the record, I never could make my hair look like Farrah’s and I cannot moonwalk. And for my boys, this is their Elvis moment.
Please note that next week’s newsletter will come to you on Thursday as we are taking Friday off to celebrate the holiday. Here’s to some sunshine this weekend so I can finish UNDONE outside and then peruse my shelves for something else to unwind with. Have a great week...read on....

Kate Burkholder, who grew up in the Amish community of Painters Mill, Ohio, before abandoning their way of life for the outside world and the study of law enforcement, has recently been appointed Chief of Police in her former hometown.

When the serial killer whose spree 16 years before was dubbed The Slaughterhouse Murders returns with spectacular violence, Kate is determined to catch him. But she is also desperate to keep a secret from her past: the reason she fled the Amish world is that she was the young girl the killer attacked before disappearing --- and she killed him in self defense. No one knows, except the father and brother who helped bury the body. So who is behind the current murders? And what is the connection to Kate's past?
