An Extra Hour: How to Spend Those 25 Hours? Let Me Count the Ways!

I am so looking forward to having an extra hour this weekend. I have a stack of books that I have been longing to read, and of course I have the absurdly misguided assumption that given the extra hour I will be able to work my way through them. I am delusional, I know; it’s more like I will spend the extra hour sorting and re-sorting what I want to read next. Do you do that, too? I always am reading books for work with various missions --- whether it be for something we are planning to feature or something we are featuring now or something people are telling me I HAVE to read NOW. I make piles, rearrange and prioritize them. This is not to say that reading is a chore, but I usually have some kind of a motive when I am reading, and sometimes there are titles that I eagerly anticipate that just must wait their turn.

With new books coming all the time, I never get a moment to “read backwards,” meaning that if a book has been out a while, there’s no going back. I hear a cry of “onward” in my head, and I look longingly at the books I have missed and realize that someday I am going to have some amazing twilight years of entertainment.

I had a realization today about books. Evolutions in music have led to so many formats; I think there has been a new one every decade for the last 40 years if you really think about it. I KNOW I have much of the same music on albums ('70s and earlier), cassette tapes ('80s), CDs ('90s) and now housed quite conveniently in one iPod ('00s). I cannot picture replacing the books on my bookshelves the same way converting everything to eBooks. For the moment, I do not even want an eReader. I still picture myself rocking away in a chair in my twilight years...books in hand...working through the books I “missed.”

Fall is the biggest season for publishing, and thus MANY BIG books hit the stores between September and December jockeying for dates to make sure they all get attention. You can vote on what big books you're excited about in our latest poll. We’re spotlighting some of those titles this week, including MOONLIGHT MILE by Dennis Lehane, which marks the return of Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, the Boston private investigators who helped make Lehane a household name. I got to talk with Dennis a few months ago and asked him why he decided to bring Patrick and Angie back now, and he said he was driving along one day and started hearing their voices again. And then he went home and started banging out the manuscript. You can watch a great video interview with Dennis here about his inspiration. Joe Hartlaub has our review this week and says, “Lehane shows no rust at all in MOONLIGHT MILE. Its ending is surprising and of great consequence, and will leave his readers wondering what will come next.” One note from me: Dennis became a dad recently, and his knowing that special love for his child, in this case his daughter, infuses these pages.

Joe also has our review of Jeffery Deaver’s EDGE this week, and says, “If you’re not swallowing your hand every 10 pages or so, then either you don’t have a pulse or you’re not paying attention.” We also have an interview with Jeffery, who was tapped by Ian Fleming’s estate to write the latest James Bond novel. One of my favorite headlines of the week was in USA Today, where they said, “Meet Deaver. Jeffery Deaver.” That project, of course, is shrouded in secrecy, but there are some clues as to what to expect that you can see in a video here. We share a lot of author videos we find on our Facebook page and in our weekly update blog. We also have started a Twitter page you can follow here.

We kept Joe extra busy this week, and so he has a third review, this time of INDULGENCE IN DEATH by J.D. Robb, the nom de plume of Nora Roberts. Joe says, “There is a cat-and-mouse game being played here, and everyone wants to be the cat.” Hard to believe this is the 31st book under her J.D. Robb alter ego. Wow.

On the nonfiction side, Simon Winchester’s ATLANTIC: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories is reviewed by Ray Palen. I caught some of Simon’s talk at the New England Independent Booksellers Conference in Providence last month, and I was instantly intrigued by the stories he shared from his research. Although the Pacific is the bigger and often thought of as the “cooler” ocean, with great surf stories and the dramatic coastline on the western United States, it’s the Atlantic that was the stage for so many important events throughout history. Ray says, “In the hands of a writer with his gifts and talent for phraseology, what could have been an antiseptic textbook type of read is instead an exciting and enthralling literary experience that will appeal to anyone who is interested in history and engaging storytelling.

One more nonfiction highlight this week is Barbara Bamberger Scott’s review of MY READING LIFE by Pat Conroy. Pat has become one of the most beloved American novelists over the years, thanks to THE PRINCE OF TIDES, THE GREAT SANTINI, SOUTH OF BROAD and many, many more. With MY READING LIFE, he reveals his influences and inspirations for his writing, recalling a lot of memories from reading with his parents, school assignments and wandering the library. I always love reading and hearing about what makes authors tick. Barbara says, “Through his reading choices over a lifetime of enjoying and producing literature, this new book reveals the private Conroy...”

Pat Conroy will also be one of hundreds of authors featured at this month’s Miami Book Fair International, happening November 14th-21st. I’ve been mentioning this event for a few weeks now, as it’s one of my favorites and one of the biggest book events of the year. The programming schedule was just announced, and I have been reviewing the lineup trying to decide what events I am going to see. There are hundreds of authors appearing there, ranging from George W. Bush to Jay-Z; you can click here to see the full list. If you live in the area, I encourage you to attend or even volunteer. If you’re looking for a warm-weather vacation with thousands of booklovers, then this is your paradise! The Fair has put together some travel and lodging information here. If you are going to be in town for this event, let me know and we can try to meet up. Drop me a line at Carol@bookreporter.com.

Jonathan Franzen is another author scheduled to appear at the Miami Book Fair. As you all know by now, his bestseller FREEDOM was the most recent Oprah pick, and likely the last she will make before she changes networks. Oprah will interview Franzen on her November 29th show. This should be interesting, considering their history. Get more information about the show and submit a question here.

The holidays are coming…the holidays are coming. We’re planning something special for our Holiday Cheer Contests on Bookreporter.com --- featured books and contests where on select days you may win bonus surprises. I know I am dating myself here, but remember those game shows with things like the Daily Double where suddenly a special prize was awarded at random? Well, that is what we are planning. These contests will not just happen once a week, but rather several times a week. Want to be sure you are aware of the contest on a particular day? Then click here now and sign up for special newsletter alerts about these contests. We’ll also have our What to Give/What to Get guide going up next Friday, and on the 19th we will start sharing a third year of author holiday blogs on Bookreporter.com.

Last weekend I read a book that is coming on January 4th that I want you to have on your radar now called LEFT NEGLECTED by Lisa Genova, who many of you will remember as the author of STILL ALICE, a favorite book of mine from two years ago and a Bets On Pick. In it, Sarah Nickerson had a busy life --- a husband, three kids (one a baby), a high-powered job and a long commute where she always tried to fit in one more thing. Well, she’s flying down the Mass Pike one morning trying to make a call when she looks up and sees a string of red lights in front of her --- stopped traffic. She cannot stop and rolls her car. When she awakens, she realizes she does not recognize the entire left side of her body; something called left neglect, hence the title of the book. Once again Genova has brought readers a compelling story, and I dare you to pick up your BlackBerry while driving once you finish it. Mine’s been buried in my handbag as soon as I turn on the ignition since I started reading it! LEFT NEGLECTED will be a January Bets On pick, the first time I am “repeating an author.”

Also this week I read a wonderful YA book called BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY by Ruta Sepetys, which will be in stores in March. It’s the story of a little-spoken-about series of events that happened in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia where Stalin exiled people from those countries to Siberia during World War II. The war ended, but they stayed prisoners for 15 years! More than 20 million people were killed during these years, 14.5 million of whom were starved to death. The book is brilliant, and I was enveloped in the story from the first page. I had the pleasure of meeting Ruta this week, where she talked about her research and the story of her own family that led her to write the book. This too will be a future Bets On pick.

This week we have some excellent reader comments from the winners of our contest for Liz Murray's BREAKING NIGHT: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard that you can read here.


Oh and for total humor…just after I hit send on the newsletter last week, Cory wandered into my office and told me he was going to a Halloween party and that he had a costume. Next thing I knew, he had on shorts, a turtleneck and sandals to create the character Aang from Avatar, and his body was painted in highlighter in a blue-green color (which I immediately hoped was not PERMANENT!). He also went trick-or-treating. Which shows that, with kids, you just never know!

Have a great week…spend that extra hour well. How many words can YOU read in an hour?

An Interview with Jeffery Deaver, Author of EDGE

Bestselling author Jeffery Deaver is back with his latest spine-tingling thriller, EDGE, which follows a senior federal protection officer as he tries to protect a Washington, D.C. police detective and his family from a ruthless “lifter” --- and find out why he has been ordered to extract information from them in the first place. In this interview, Deaver gives readers the scoop on his most recent novel, elaborating on why he chose D.C. as a setting and how the book compares to some of his other titles. He also reflects on the differences between writing stand-alones and series (and explains why he tends to stick to the latter), talks about his love of surprise endings, and sheds light on his plans for the future --- which includes the highly anticipated release of a novel about James Bond.

EDGE by Jeffery Deaver (Thriller)
Shock ripples through Washington, D.C.’s secret agency when police detective Ryan Kessler becomes the target of a ruthless “lifter” --- someone who obtains information by any means necessary. Now a protection officer called Corte must try to save him --- and find out why Henry Loving is after Kessler in the first place. But for Corte, this assignment is more than a job --- it’s a matter of revenge: a choice between protecting his charges and exacting vengeance. Reviewed by Joe Hartlaub.

In MY READING LIFE, Conroy revisits a life of passionate reading, including everything from anecdotes about his school days to accounts of darker times --- and even lists of the books that have helped him through his life.

But once the first daring mariners navigated to far shores, the Atlantic evolved in the world’s growing consciousness of itself, linking the Americas in the West to Europe and Africa in the East.

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…

Books into Movies/Books into Movies on DVD for November

If last month’s stellar lineup of book-based blockbusters left you longing for more, then you’re in luck. November promises more big hits inspired by even bigger bestsellers, and Bookreporter.com’s Books into Movies roundup is spotlighting five must-see movies that you definitely won’t want to miss.

A suspenseful adaptation of an ex-undercover agent’s autobiography, Fair Game promises to keep theater-goers on their toes. For those of you with willful youngsters, there’s Tangled, Disney’s 3-D take on “Rapunzel,” the beloved fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. And let’s not forget The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the third and final adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, and Love & Other Drugs, a comedic exposé of pharmaceutical big-shots derived from the real-life experiences of one-time Pfizer rep Jamie Reidy.

The real story of the month, though, is Harry Potter, who is returning to the big screens once again in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, the first of two full-length features based on the seventh installment of J.K. Rowling’s spellbinding series. By splitting the final film into two, Warner Brothers is hoping to give fans more of what they want…and keep them hanging by a thread until the release of the much-anticipated finale.

But if throngs of costumed Harry Potter lovers are keeping you at home, then you can always take a look at our Books into Movies on DVD feature. This month, we’re spotlighting Charlie St. Cloud, the romantic drama starring Zac Efron that swept both film fans and booklovers off their feet in July.
