Here Comes Summer... |
After a week of talking about fall books at BookExpo America (BEA), I am really happy to know that I did not miss summer, my favorite time of year! I am loving the idea of a three-day weekend after a week that was a fabulous blur of books, authors and bookish conversation. I made tons of notes of books I want to read and share with you in the months to come. The show has about 25,000 attendees, and it’s a great opportunity to see colleagues and chat about the business, as much as it is to see what’s new. I had dinner with some friends last night, and as we all had been to different events at the show, it was fun to compare notes. I will catch up with the staff on Tuesday to do the same thing.
On Wednesday, my older son Greg joined me as I wanted him to do some research for me on a new site that we are noodling around with for readers from college age into their 20s. You will be hearing more about this. As we were roaming the aisles between panels, we ran into Patricia Schultz, the author of 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE. Greg is a Schultz groupie who has been checking off his copy of the book that she signed for him in Miami for a while now. Watching them bond and discuss her latest project, which is an update of that book, was really fun. He’s headed to Ottawa this weekend after finding a terrific deal from Continental online for just $128. Why Ottawa? Well, when you’re 20, you go because it’s someplace you have not been!
We turned and there was Kathryn Stockett, the author of THE HELP. Greg introduced himself to her and told her that he blamed her and THE HELP for his midterm grades last fall that were less than stellar. She was quite humored by that and apologized to him. Stockett had been awarded the Indie Booksellers Debut Book of the Year award at lunch earlier in the day. Seeing her walking the show floor, I remembered that authors, like all of us, are readers. There was another fun time Monday night where I found myself talking to Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner at a party. As always, they all kept me laughing. Tess is excited about the TNT show based on her Rizzoli and Isles books, which will begin airing this summer. You can read more about the show here. The results of Karin’s cupcake contest with her readers can be seen here. She has some really imaginative fans. And Lisa and Karin talked about touring together last year. Casual moments like that were as special as the bigger ones that unfolded all week.
The 50th anniversary of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is being celebrated this summer. There was a video setup at BEA asking readers for comments about the book, which Greg and I both did. I was really proud to hear his comments about what the book meant to him while I shared how it works for discussion across generations. I remember my younger son not grasping the depths of racial prejudice. I am looking forward to reading SCOUT, ATTICUS & BOO: A Celebration of Fifty Years of To Kill a Mockingbird by filmmaker Mary McDonagh Murphy, who has interviewed prominent figures on how the book has impacted their lives. At this booth, HarperCollins also had a book that readers could sign that they will get to Harper Lee. Nice moment.
One of the many exciting announcements at BEA was news of the final volume of Jean M. Auel’s worldwide bestselling Earth’s Children series. The sixth book in the series, THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES, is scheduled to be released on March 29, 2011. This series has now been 30 years in the making with THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR coming out in 1980. Since then, the series has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. The books will also be available in eBook format for the first time in advance of THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES. Since I regularly get notes from readers asking about future releases, I am happy to share this news.
The week was not without humor. Greg ironed his shirt, which was a complete comedy routine in our hotel room. He learned that beyond plugging in the iron, it helps to turn it on and allow it to heat up. At one point he told me that PRESSING on the iron helped a lot. Amazing the things you learn outside the classroom. There was a lovely party the other night at the apartment of actor Zach Braff, brother of Joshua Braff, the author of PEEP SHOW, a story about a Hasidic Jew from Long Island who runs a peep show house in Times Square. The humor: I had no idea that Zach Braff was Dr. John Dorian on "Scrubs" or that he wrote, directed and starred in Garden State. Both brothers were really warm and terrific, and I chatted with them about growing up in New Jersey, not far from me. My younger son was VERY impressed with this party event and is incredulous that I was so unclued about Braff.
Speaking of Cory, last Friday night after our newsletter was sent, a CNN segment with Campbell Brown interviewing Greg Mortenson aired, honoring him for his work with his Pennies for Peace program. Cory’s school raised $25,000 for this project since September, mostly in pennies, which was quite an achievement. The student segments for the piece were shot at Cory’s school, and you can see them here. I was really proud to see this segment air.
Readers who have been pining for the last title in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy need to wait no longer as THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST hit stores this week. We have our review here. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it, and in the weeks to come I would love to hear from you with your thoughts about this trilogy, including which was your favorite book. Shoot me your comments at Carol@bookreporter.com when you get a moment. I have my own favorite in the series….more on that in the weeks to come. I do regret we never were able to interview Larsson.
This week we’re featuring Andrew Britton in our Suspense/Thriller spotlight. His latest spy novel, THE EXILE, follows ex-CIA agent Ryan Kealey to the Darfur region of Sudan to investigate the murder of an American relief worker who just happens to have ties to the President of the United States. This is Andrew’s fourth novel, and you can really see the development in his writing and plotting get sharper and sharper. The book won’t be available until June 29th, but we have 20 copies to give away to readers who would like to read and comment on it. Enter here by Friday, June 11th at noon ET. Also, you can visit Andrew’s website here. I am a longtime fan of Andrew’s work, and I look forward to reading it over the weekend.
Today we’re launching not one, but two special features and contests. Our Father’s Day feature includes 12 great dad-perfect titles and a contest where you can win one of five gift bags for dear old dad. These prizes have 12 fiction and nonfiction titles that will give dad a book a month to read all year packed up in a thermal cooler bag.

Speaking of summer, vacation and reading, don't forget to vote in our poll. We're curious about how many books you think are ideal to pack for a trip, and if you "screen" them before packing. You can vote here. Our question to complement the poll is: What is your all-time favorite beach book? You can name up to five here. Also, keep up with our Facebook postings from the week here, and become a fan if you're not already here.
That’s not all this week. We have FIVE author interviews, giving you lots of good reading for the holiday weekend. Here’s are two quick bites from two reviews from Joe Hartlaub this week. “BODILY HARM may well be Robert Dugoni’s most ambitious work. The story is full of twists and turns, including two very significant events that will flummox those who have followed the series from the beginning. It solidly establishes that whether inside the courtroom or out, Sloane and Dugoni, a former litigation expert, are a force to be reckoned with.” And “VICIOUS reads like the book Alfred Hitchcock never filmed. Most of it takes place within a square mile or so in three different places, but seems to be written on a much larger scale. One thing is certain, however: you won’t think about renting a cabin in an idyllic setting without thinking about Kevin O’Brien’s latest thriller and reconsidering your vacation plans, among other things.”
I am in serious need of some sleep and some downtime this weekend. There are NO plans beyond sitting poolside, reading and knitting on the agenda, for which I am grateful. Oh wait, Monday we will be at the town parade, the annual hokey small-town parade, but oh-so-fun event. Please remember to take some time to ponder and honor our fallen war heroes during this holiday weekend. Here’s wishing you all a great week as well…and good reading.
