October 29, 2010

Well, the wind is whipping outside today, and I am humored by the folks on our block who have landscapers blowing their leaves, which is an exercise in futility. The way I see it, the leaves have been whipped up and down the street all day, and I am fairly sure at this point that no one has a leaf-free lawn. I have this handy-dandy little weather forecaster on my desk, and I see no temperatures to be above 60 for the next five days, thus my theory holds true. No matter how warm the fall is in the Northeast, by Halloween the temperatures plunge and the heat goes on. This is the first Halloween in almost 20 years that no one here at the house is dressing up for the holiday. I have not even pulled out the large lighted pumpkins that usually fete the place; will have to get something up by Sunday lest the trick-or-treaters be disappointed! While no one is dressing up here, there are requests for the black bean chili (I do not like red kidney beans) that I make each Halloween. Nice to know SOME tradition remains.

In my jet-lagged post-San Francisco haze last week, I managed to overlook a tribute to Belva Plain, who passed away at the age of 95. Suzanne, one of our readers, wrote last Saturday morning to remind me of this and very rightly chastised me for not mentioning this to you. My shelves hold copies of six Belva Plain books, but not EVERGREEN, which many tout as her signature best. I’m wondering if that was one I passed along in the years I rarely kept books, or if it was one I read in the years when I spent hours at the library. When I read the piece on her passing, I noted that she passed away in a town very near my house. Made me regret never having written her a note to tell her how much her books had meant to me. These days we communicate with writers easily via email and websites and all kinds of social networking, while she was from a time when that was not possible. I do regret I never slipped a snail mail note to thank her for all the hours of pleasure she gave me through the years. I heard from Selma, another reader, asking me if it was true there would be a new Plain book in February. I did some research and learned that HEARTWOOD will be released on February 8th, and it will be a sequel to EVERGREEN. It was interesting to see this week that EVERGREEN popped up as one of the top-selling titles on Kindle.

I spent a fun Tuesday night in Greenwich Village doing a literary walking tour of historical spots in the lives of famous female authors to celebrate the publication of THE HEROINE’S BOOKSHELF: Life Lessons, from Jane Austen to Laura Ingalls Wilder by Erin Blakemore (pictured with me above). Erin and Jessica Siegel, a Glamour magazine columnist, were the guides for more than 100 of us that evening as we wandered these narrow streets picturing that part of the city in an earlier age. It was a lovely night. The book is an exploration of classic heroines and their authors. There is a lot that women today can think about --- and talk about --- after reading about these women. Book clubs, are you listening?

This week, I also want to share with you this great profile on editor Pamela Dorman. You may not recognize her name, but chances are good that you’ve read at least one of the bestsellers she’s edited over the years, a list that includes Sue Monk Kidd’s THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES, BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY by Helen Fielding and, most recently, SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT by Beth Hoffman. SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT was my first Bets On pick for the year and was released in paperback earlier this week. You can read the article from The Journal News (Westchester, NY) here. Behind the books you read are the editors who buy the manuscripts and work with the authors to shape them; they are their first cheerleaders. Thus it’s fun to share a look at one editor with you here.

SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT was my first Bets On pick of 2010, and Susan Casey’s THE WAVE: In Pursuit of Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean is my latest. While it was published about a month ago, it’s been one that I keep talking about, thus I decided it has to be a Bets On. It’s about surfers who chase the biggest waves all over the world, but also the science behind waves. Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot and have a newfound respect for these surfers who think nothing of charging into a wave just for the thrill of it. Sarah Rachel Egelman has our review this week and says, “While the waves are the star of the book, those in pursuit of them are equally fascinating. Most interesting (to readers and obviously to Casey as well) are the big-wave surfers who risk life and limb to make contact with the pure wave energy of the earth's oceans. Their stories are fun to read and often jaw-dropping.” You can also watch a BookTV segment with Susan and one of surfing’s legendary watermen, Laird Hamilton, talking about THE WAVE here. The clip is about an hour long and a little slow to load, but worth it.

We also have an interview with Tatiana de Rosnay, author of the international bestseller SARAH’S KEY. Although it’s been out since 2007, we were still proud to feature it in our One to Watch Author Spotlight, and the timing couldn’t be better as it was one of the Top 10 Discussion Books as voted upon by readers in the ReadingGroupGuides.com 10th Anniversary Contest. This is one of those of books that everyone seems to love. We also featured Tatiana’s latest, A SECRET KEPT, earlier this fall.

This week, we also have a review of THE TRUE MEMOIRS OF LITTLE K by Adrienne Sharp, a historical novel about a former top dancer in the Russian ballet who’s reflecting on her life. Adrienne herself was a trained ballet dancer, so there’s a lot of realism here, as well as rich detail about Russian history. Kathy Weissman, our reviewer, has been practicing ballet for years and recently was fitted for her first pointe shoes, thus I was thrilled to see her review: “The setting, for a balletomane, is iconic: the wondrous era in which many of today’s classics --- from Swan Lake to Le Corsaire, Don Quixote to Nutcracker --- were created and feats like the Black Swan’s 32 fouettés first accomplished (Kschessinska learned how to do them from the Italian ballerinas who dominated the Russian dance scene at the time). Storied choreographers, composers and impresarios like Petipa, Tchaikovsky and Diaghilev people the pages of this novel, and backstage politicking abounds.”

I have been reading Lisa Scottoline’s latest addictive collection of essays, MY NEST ISN’T EMPTY, IT JUST HAS MORE CLOSET SPACE: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman since last night. I say addictive since, like peanut M&Ms, I keep saying “just one more.” And then six essays later, I think, I really need to write, but just one more! Most of you probably know Lisa as the bestselling author of suspense/thriller titles like LOOK AGAIN, THINK TWICE and LADY KILLER, but she really shows another side of herself with her nonfiction works. Her collection from last year, WHY MY THIRD HUSBAND WILL BE A DOG, had me laughing at every page. For her latest, her daughter, Francesca Scottoline Serritella, joins her as a co-writer. I have seen Lisa and Francesca together in person, and this book really captures their personalities. When Lisa talks in the book about her conversations with Francesca, I remember how a couple of years ago she was on a panel and her cell phone rang; Paul Levine answered it while she continued her panel conversation, and it was Francesca calling from school! Carole Turner has our review and says, “Readers of MY NEST ISN'T EMPTY, IT JUST HAS MORE CLOSET SPACE (great title, by the way) will be snickering, laughing out loud, and cheering on this unique mother/daughter writing team with "You go, girls!".”

We’re moving into the final week of our Sneak Peek feature for BURIED SECRETS by Joseph Finder. As I mentioned last week, I really enjoyed this one and think Finder has got something special with his “private spy” Nick Heller. The book won’t be in stores until June, but we have 50 specially formatted advance reader editions for those who want to answer some questions and preview the book. We ask that you only enter if you will be able to read and answer some questions by Tuesday, November 23rd. Enter here by Thursday, November 4th at noon ET to preview BURIED SECRETS. Just to remind you that we post all our contests throughout the week on our Facebook page. If you’re not on Facebook, you can still keep track of our posts here.

In other big book news, LIFE by Keith Richards, the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist, came out this week, and from all accounts it does not disappoint! We don’t have a review here on Bookreporter.com, but you can read Jesse Kornbluth’s excellent review on HeadButler.com here. Sure, there are all the tales of the rock and roll life in these pages, and about the writing of some of rock’s most famous songs, and his life of excess, but what some people may be surprised to read is Keith’s love of books. He talks at length about his love of reading and the influence it’s had on his life. If his gig in the Stones didn’t work out, Keith strongly considered becoming a librarian. I really want to read this one!

This week we’re launching a Romantic Suspense Author Spotlight for Kylie Brant’s DEADLY INTENT, the fourth book in her Mindhunters series. We’ve featured the past books --- WAKING NIGHTMARE, WAKING EVIL and WAKING THE DEAD --- here before, so we’re glad to keep the trend going. Forensic linguist Macy Reid and her team are back and on the trail of an abducted teen, which forces Macy to confront her own troubled past. We have 20 finished copies for readers who would like to read the book and comment on it. Enter here by Friday, November 5th at noon ET.

Our latest Young Adult Books You Won’t Want to Miss feature is up this week, and we also have the nominees for the Books for a Better Life Awards here. I was at the reception for this last night, and as I was on the nominating committee, it was really nice to see all the books on display. The awards will be given on March 7th. An event you may want to get on your calendar is the special web event with Michael J. Sandel, author of JUSTICE: What’s the Right Thing to Do? Michael teaches a class by the same name at Harvard, which has become so popular that the school has started webcasting the class to alumni. This special event will allow all participants to interact with Michael in real time, ask questions and debate some moral and philosophical questions. The event is scheduled for Sunday, November 7th, and you can register here. You can learn more about the class here, and read our review of JUSTICE here. I’ve already signed up to call in!

Due to the Cablevision/Fox argument about carriage, we are not seeing the World Series at our house, which means it’s a good thing the Yankees are not in the Series! Since I don’t have a team I follow in the fight here, I am cheering for the Giants. Why? Well, as always, it’s about a book. This time it’s my friend Dan Fost’s book, GIANTS PAST & PRESENT. I used to babysit for Dan, and thus I am really excited about this book about the team’s history and players. Back in April when I was in L.A., I got to catch up with Dan and it was great to reminisce. I missed him on my most recent trip, but I’m sure he’s been having quite a time with the Giants in the playoffs and now the Series.

This weekend or early next week, I hope to get to the movie theater to catch The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the third film version of Stieg Larsson’s huge Millennium series. I’ve really enjoyed the first two and how faithful they’ve been to the books, though some of the details were transposed in one book or another. The movies were shot in Sweden and have English subtitles, but you hardly notice as everything is done so well. Noomi Rapace, who plays Lisbeth Salander, really brings that character to life. Check out the official trailer here.

This weekend, "The Walking Dead" will be airing on AMC, which is based on the comic book/graphic novel series. I find some really interesting people in my travels, and thus I think you might enjoy this interview that we just posted on GraphicNovelReporter.com with Christina Blanch, who teaches THE WALKING DEAD as part of her anthropology curriculum at Ball State University. John Hogan and I met Christina at Comic-Con in San Diego last summer, and it was a real treat to follow up and bring you this piece. You can check out some more about the graphic novel here and the GraphicNovelReporter.com review here.

I steer clear of politics on these pages, but I want to remind you to get out on Tuesday and exercise your right to vote. It always pains me how few people actually take advantage of this privilege. On that note, have a great week, enjoy Halloween, and try to read some pages in between answering the door with the trick-or-treaters!

Tatiana de Rosnay is a Bookreporter.com favorite and the author of A SECRET KEPT and SARAH’S KEY, the international bestseller about a 10-year-old girl who was brutally abducted by the French police during the 1942 Vel’ d’Hiv roundup and the daring Parisian journalist who rediscovers her story 60 years later. In this interview, de Rosnay discusses the events that inspired her US debut novel, elaborating on how places and houses hold memories and the importance of breaking the silence surrounding historical taboos. She also explains why her book is different from other works of fiction on similar subjects, talks about what it was like to return to her native tongue after years of writing in French, and reveals how she likes to spend her time --- when she isn’t thinking about ideas for her next bestseller.

SARAH’S KEY by Tatiana de Rosnay (Fiction)
Two gripping stories intersect over time, sharing one incredible connection. One is of a 10-year-old girl named Sarah in occupied Paris in 1942 --- taken from her apartment with her parents by the French police during a raid of Jewish homes during a black period of French history known as Vel’ d’Hiv’. The other is of an American journalist living in Paris in 2002 who begins to investigate the roundup and stumbles upon a decades-old web of deceit that connects her to young Sarah.

More about DEADLY INTENT:
No one knows the patterns and nuances of communication like forensic linguist Macy Reid. She is also an expert on kidnapping, having experienced firsthand the stark terror of being abducted when she was a child. So she is the perfect investigator to be called in when a Denver tycoon's 11-year-old daughter is abducted --- for the second time. The biggest stumbling block for Macy may be a member of her own team: Kellan Burke, the wisecracking, rule-breaking investigator who relishes getting under Macy's skin. Their styles couldn't be more different; the attraction between them, more explosive. And when it becomes apparent that Macy can't solve this case without confronting the demons from her past, Kell is just the man to take her there --- and back.

More about THE CRUELEST CUT:
When a killer plays mind games with a cop, there are no rules.

The first victim is attacked in her home. Tied to her bed. Forced to watch every unspeakable act of cruelty --- but unable to scream. The second murder is even more twisted. Signed, sealed and delivered with a message for the police, stuffed in the victim’s throat. A fractured nursery rhyme that ends with a warning: “There will be more.” For detective Jack Murphy, it’s more than a threat. It’s a personal invitation to play. And no one plays rougher than Jack. Especially when the killer’s pawns are the people he loves…
 

THE WAVE: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean by Susan Casey (On Sale Now): I read THE WAVE by Susan Casey about a month ago when it first came out, and thus I am a tad late selecting it as a Bets On. I was not thinking about it for this distinction, but then I realized that I consistently am bringing this book up in conversation when I talk about what I am reading with booksellers, librarians, friends, and okay, just about everyone I come in contact with. What’s been interesting is how this book about waves and where they come from and big wave surfing has led to passionate conversations with folks I never thought would love it, as in people like me who are not going to be jumping on a surfboard any time soon.
