In addition to your contributions, we are loving the comments that have been shared with donations about how you enjoy this newsletter and Bookreporter.com. Here are a couple of messages we received recently: Nicholas: "You've steered ME towards a whole lot of good books over recent years.

Our “Bookreporter Talks To” podcast is live and available wherever you listen to podcasts.   Bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank passed away Monday at the age of 67 after a brief illness. Her last book, QUEEN BEE, released earlier this year.    Carol finished reading three books on her vacation, and all will be Bets On picks: We’re Back! Happy September!We’re back from our week off with a big update for you as a lot happened while we were away. I confess that I have had a lot more relaxing vacations. Work projects crept into last week, and I found myself at my desk at the house a bit more than I planned. That said, there’s lots of news to share. First, our “Bookreporter Talks To” podcast is live and available wherever you listen to podcasts. Many of you have told us that you listen to podcasts on Apple Podcasts, so here is the link to listen to it there. First up is my interview with Mary Beth Keane about her bestselling novel and Bookreporter Bets On selection, ASK AGAIN, YES. Our plan is to take the videos that we have done and create podcasts from them by stripping out the audio. And for a bonus, whenever possible, the podcast will include an excerpt from the audiobook to give you an opportunity to sample a featured book. If you like what you hear, please review us and rate us wherever you listen to podcasts, especially on iTunes, as that will help us grow our audience. And you can see the “winning” podcast logo art above, selected after readers voted a few weeks ago. Thanks to all of you who voted; we appreciated your input. We are working on plans for more podcasts in the future beyond our "Bookreporter Talks To" series; if you have ideas of what you would like to hear, we are all ears (pun intended). Remember that support from our readers has helped us bring these videos and podcasts to you! Next week, we will be sharing a new video and podcast! While I did not hit my usual “book a day” stride on this vacation, as I did a lot less pool floating than planned, I did get some great reading done and finished three books, all of which will be Bets On selections. First, I finished reading THE DESERTER by Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille, which releases on October 22nd. I am normally a very quick reader, but I found myself slowing down to make sure I did not miss anything as I read. There were details about Venezuela that were new to me, and they were as compelling as the storyline. Also, both of the protagonists, Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor, have very strong backstories, and I wanted to ensure that I grasped those details, especially as they are slated to appear in future books. When my husband read it, he said he was looking at Google Earth to see more about the terrain and locations. The characters, plotting and pacing all are strong. I am looking forward to our readers weighing in on it, whether or not you previously have read Nelson’s work. Nelson and Alex are a very strong team! Next, I read SAINT X by Alexis Schaitkin, which will be in stores on February 18th. It opens on a holiday trip in the Caribbean, where the Richardsons, a wealthy New York family, are vacationing with their daughters, who are 18 and 7. The oldest daughter, Alison, heads out each night to party with the locals, including some of the help from the hotel. Then one night, she does not come home. A hunt for her ensues, and all signs point to her last being seen with two of the hotel workers that night at a local club. But later, the timing is found not to jive with when she went missing. Her body is found, but what happened is still a mystery. Flash forward a couple of decades, and the younger sister, Claire, is in a taxi in New York City. When she glances at the taxi driver's license, she recognizes his name --- he’s one of the two men who was with her sister that night. She stalks him and then befriends him, with a goal to find out just what happened that night. It is so, so well done. The storyline is unique, and I love the cover. I closed out the week reading LONG BRIGHT RIVER by Liz Moore, which will be in stores on January 7th. In it, Mickey is a police officer who patrols the streets of Philadelphia, always on the watch for her sister, Kacey, who has an opioid habit and has been missing for a while. Mickey is used to using Narcan to bring someone on a drug trip that went wrong back to life; it's all too familiar on her beat. She’s seen her sister almost die more than once. And she’s also seen her on the street waiting to turn tricks for johns who cruise the neighborhood. Her past haunts her, but her love for her son drives her to stay safe and sane no matter what surrounds her. But then she starts to realize that things she believes in may not be true, and this well-plotted tale whips readers back and forth in many directions. I was drawn in from the first page, but as the story unfolded, I was even more riveted. And as the mark of a really good book, there was a lot that surprised me. I still have a huge pile of reading that I want to enjoy, so I am hoping that there is time for reading during the weekends to come. Labor Day was early, so I am looking for a few more summer weekends of sitting in the pool, or by the pool reading. Last week, my car went in for service for a few days. Annoyingly, I was listening to the last disc of THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE by Katherine Center, narrated by Therese Plummer, when it went into the shop. As soon as I got it back, I did errands to finish the book. It has a great narration and a really well-told story. I now am listening to A BETTER MAN by Louise Penny, which is narrated by Robert Bathurst. I have not read an Inspector Gamache story in a while, but this is reminding me that I have missed him and the people of the village of Three Pines. On Tuesday, we got the very sad news that bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank died at the age of 67 after a brief illness, and it stunned us. Dottie, as we all knew her, was fun personified. She was generous and kind, and if you were with her for even five minutes, you got the feeling that you were her best friend. I have so many personal memories of parties and events where we would dish and tell stories. She inhaled life and celebrated it every day. There are so many memories I have of her, and though I am so sad, I think she would love that, thinking back on some of them, I am smiling. Like her standing on the altar speaking at the Morristown Festival of Books and announcing that "she thinks she will be struck down for standing here to speak to y'all." And for noting that “she thought her crowd that day was bigger than the one they would be getting on Sunday." My last "conversation" with her was in a Facebook Messenger chat where she was giving me the correct phonetic way to pronounce her name. I had found a video where she clearly said "Dah-row-thee-a." She told me if I ever needed it again, I should call her, and she passed along her cell phone number. Last night, there was a brilliant celebration of her life, and one story about her was better than the next. Our thoughts go out to her family, who she loved deeply. In one of her last notes to me, she was racing off to play with her grandson, her precious Teddy, who she called Teddy Spaghetti. Longtime readers know that Dottie got started writing after her mother passed away, and she wanted to buy her family home. Her husband, Peter, was less anxious to do this, so she decided to write a book and buy the house with that money. Like everything else she did, she just sat down and got it done. And the book debuted on the New York Times list at #9, and 20 books later, this year QUEEN BEE hit the list at #2, behind “that Crawdads book.” When I saw Peter last night, I said to him, "I am glad you did not buy her that house, and there are millions of readers who feel the same way." Because if he had, she may never have written. He smiled when I said that and nodded his head. There was a lot of toasting of her life this week, as we all knew how Dottie loved a cocktail; it was a life well-lived and completely full of love. It’s kind of fitting that her last book was called QUEEN BEE, as to many of us, that is who she was. This was a tough loss. Now to this week’s update… After raving about it for months, I’m happy to share that William Kent Krueger’s new stand-alone novel, THIS TENDER LAND, is now available. Fans of WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, BEFORE WE WERE YOURS and ORPHAN TRAIN will want to sink their teeth into this wonderful, atmospheric tale about four orphans on a life-changing odyssey during the Great Depression. Earlier this year, we ran a contest on ReadingGroupGuides.com that gave 10 book groups the chance to win copies of the book and share their comments on it. You can check out their excellent feedback here; I am beyond thrilled that they all thought so highly of the novel as I did. Our Fiction Author Spotlight of THIS TENDER LAND --- a #1 Indie Next pick for September and an upcoming Bets On selection --- wraps up this week with our review and interview. Reviewer Joe Hartlaub has much praise for the book: “A reading of THIS TENDER LAND flows like the Mississippi River, which runs through the novel in a quiet backdrop. Although it takes place in a bygone era, the themes are contemporary, as occurs with the best of historical fiction, of which this book should certainly be included. You will not be disappointed with the story and will read it effortlessly from start to finish in a single sitting.” Joe also had the opportunity to ask Kent a number of questions about the book; click here for Kent’s very insightful responses. Also, be sure to take a look at the discussion guide on ReadingGroupGuides.com here, and find out why I’m betting you’ll love THIS TENDER LAND in next week’s newsletter. Why would four women confess to the same murder? That’s the intriguing question at the heart of Gina LaManna’s new novel, PRETTY GUILTY WOMEN, which is our latest Suspense/Thriller Author Spotlight title and is now in stores. Rebecca Munro has our review and says, "It may sound odd to describe a murder mystery as 'fun,' yet that’s exactly what PRETTY GUILTY WOMEN is. LaManna’s characters are unique and fully fleshed out, and although they are dealing with some major issues --- infidelity, domestic abuse, fertility, dysfunctional everything --- they are written with humor and love." As I noted in the last newsletter, I enjoyed this book --- a perfect float-in-the-pool read --- so I was happy to ask Gina some questions about it, including her inspiration for this unique storyline, the development of her characters, and the important issues that she addresses. Click here to read the interview. Other books we’re reviewing this week include the aforementioned A BETTER MAN by Louise Penny, in which catastrophic spring flooding, blistering attacks in the media and a mysterious disappearance greet Chief Inspector Armand Gamache as he returns to the Sûreté du Québec; VENDETTA IN DEATH, the latest installment in J. D. Robb’s In Death series, in which Lieutenant Eve Dallas must keep the predator from becoming the prey; and THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, Christy Lefteri’s much-talked-about second novel that puts human faces on the Syrian war with the immigrant story of a beekeeper, his wife and the triumph of spirit when the world becomes unrecognizable. The latter will be a Bets On pick; don’t miss my commentary in next week’s newsletter, along with an interview that I did with Christy at Book Expo. This week, we kick off our Nonfiction Author Spotlight of MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE: A Memoir of Race, Gender, and Parenting in America. In America, Mother = White. That's what Nefertiti Austin, a single African American woman, discovered when she decided she wanted to adopt a Black baby boy out of the foster care system. Eager to finally join the motherhood ranks, Nefertiti was shocked when people started asking her why she wanted to adopt a "crack baby" or said that she would never be able to raise a Black son on her own. MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE is the story of Nefertiti's fight to create the family she always knew she was meant to have. I started reading it, and there is a lot to think about and discuss in it. I appreciate books that make me think about topics that are not on my radar but contain important ideas to consider. Although it doesn’t release until September 24th, we’re giving 35 readers the chance to win a copy of MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE and give us their feedback on it. To enter, please fill out this form by Thursday, September 19th at noon ET. We will have our review of the book and our interview with the author in the September 27th newsletter. Our Fall Preview feature is back for a ninth year! On select days in September and October, we will spotlight a different title and offer a 24-hour contest to win five copies of the book. We also will be sending a special newsletter to announce each day's title. If you have not done so already, you can sign up here to receive the Fall Preview newsletter. We kick off this year’s contests by giving away the aforementioned THIS TENDER LAND and THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, along with YALE NEEDS WOMEN: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant by Anne Gardiner Perkins. The first contest will go live on Tuesday, September 10th at noon ET. Our latest Paperback Spotlight title is David R. Gillham’s 2018 novel, ANNELIES, which released in paperback this week. The year is 1945, and Anne Frank is 16 years old. Having survived the concentration camps, but lost her mother and sister, she reunites with her father, Pim, in newly liberated Amsterdam. But it’s not as easy to fit the pieces of their life back together. Anne is adrift, haunted by the ghosts of the horrors they experienced, while Pim is fixated on returning to normalcy. Her beloved diary has been lost, and her dreams of becoming a writer seem distant and pointless now. As Anne struggles to overcome the brutality of memory and build a new life for herself, she grapples with heartbreak, grief and ultimately the freedom of forgiveness. As there is lots to talk about here, we’ve added the discussion guide for it on ReadingGroupGuides.com. Tom, our Editorial Director, outdid himself this short post-vacation week, and so we also bring you the following... ANNELIES is just one of the books in this month’s New in Paperback roundups.

Nancy does terrific event coverage, and we appreciate her sharing this with us! News & Pop Culture: Here are some of September’s recently announced book club picks:
Reader Mail: Susan wrote: “Happy 23rd Anniversary to Bookreporter.com. I so look forward to reading your newsletter every week and have recommended it to all my book club members!! Here’s to another 23 years of fabulous book reviews, recommendations, recipes and so much more.” Thank you, Susan; we appreciate it! Pat wrote, “I thank you and Bookreporter.com again. I won THE ISLANDERS by Meg Mitchell Moore, and it was a great read.” Tessa won our Word of Mouth contest (SOMEONE WE KNOW by Shari Lapena and THE TURN OF THE KEY by Ruth Ware) and said this: “How exciting! It's been ages since I won, though I contribute reviews regularly. Couldn't come at a better time, as we're headed for a 'vacation in a woodland cottage' in September. Now, just to decide which one to read first...” Jean also won and said, “I only enter Word of Mouth when the prizes are books I'd like to read. These two are much anticipated, and I look forward to receiving them.” Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan, WI: Dominique Raccah from Sourcebooks gave this a huge shout-out. There are more than 70 gardens based on children’s books. "The Great Hack”: I watched this Netflix documentary about Cambridge Analytica. It's really daunting how they used data that was mined, and then lied about it. “Younger”: The season finale was terrific. “This Is Us”: Here’s the trailer for the new season, which kicks off on September 24th. Though vacation was a lot less relaxing than I had planned, I did get to nine yoga classes, which was really fun. I also did not weed the garden. I have given up; the weeds won. Three moonflowers bloomed, and the little geraniums flourished. There are times when it is just about the little things. I realized that I have yet to hang in the hammock, which just may happen this weekend. But that also means I need to bring the hammock up from the basement. I found some great Blackberry Ice Cream at Whole Foods, I went to the peach farm twice and froze lots of peaches, and tomatoes and corn were at their finest. Greg is working on his car this weekend, and I am sure Tom is going to play golf. I am going to prep for a number of interviews coming up in the next few months. We have some authors lined up for our videos/podcasts, and I am going to be doing three sets of interviews (I cannot share who I will be interviewing yet) at the Morristown Festival of Books on Saturday, October 12th, and I hope to see many of you there. Also, I will be talking about book club titles at the White Plains Public Library on Sunday, October 20th at 1:30, and I will be interviewing Fiona Davis at the Hillsborough Library on Saturday, November 2nd at 11:00. Read on, and have a great week. P.S. For those of you who are doing online shopping, if you use the store links below, Bookreporter.com gets a small affiliate fee on your purchases.
