January 6, 2023

Happy New Year...and Hello, 2023!

We all had a great break. Christmas week is the week when time does not exist! What day is it? Why did I get out of bed on the 26th at 5:30pm? Why did I eat cheesecake for breakfast? Why am I snacking throughout the day?

We spent a lot of time with family and friends over the holiday, and we hosted five really fun dinners. We finally got time to spend with neighbors who we have not socialized with for the past two years. I read three books, which is much less than I typically would do. Usually I have read books not coming out for months, and now I am maybe a week ahead. It started over the summer when my mom was ill, and I just never caught up. There are even some books from last year that I still did not get to. And I felt a lot of guilt about that. I know, guilt about not reading. But this got me thinking.

When I was in school, there was a lot of “required reading.” I remember grabbing a novel and just reading for fun --- and what a pleasure that was. The best part about graduating from college was an end to required reading!

This is the time of year when I see all kinds of reading resolutions: “Read one of each of these genres, including poetry.” “Set a reading goal.” There have been so many columns about this, many with the same ideas that I have seen in the past that get regurgitated this time of year. I never go into the year with a goal of what to read. I never aspire to have X number of Bookreporter.com Bets On selections.

Somewhere online this week, I saw a really great line that your “to be read” pile should be viewed like a wine cellar. I am not a big wine drinker, but this got me thinking. There are some days when a thriller will work like a great Cabernet with a steak; on another day, fiction, like a Sauvignon blanc with fish or chicken; for nonfiction, perhaps like a Beaujolais with Beef Stroganoff; or for something lighthearted, you might pull some bubbly, like for a brisk celebration. All this to say that there are times when a book calls to you even when your to-be-read pile is teetering --- and that is the one you want to read.

I have called for a non-socializing weekend. There is going to be a fire in the fireplace and reading time. I even got a booster pillow so I can read in the hot tub. The three books above that are coming out next week have sparked my interest, and using my wine theory, they have been plucked from the pile. Something to look forward to!

Featured Review: SAM by Allegra Goodman
January’s “Read with Jenna” Today Show Book Club Pick

SAM by Allegra Goodman (Fiction)
Audiobook available, read by Rebecca Lowman
Sam is seven years old and living in Beverley, Massachusetts. She adores her father, though he isn’t around much, and her mother struggles to make ends meet. Sam doesn’t fit in at school, where the other girls have the right shade of blue jeans and don’t question the rules. All she wants is to climb. Hanging from the highest limbs of the tallest trees, scaling the side of a building, Sam feels free. As a teenager, Sam begins to doubt herself. She yearns to be noticed, even as she wants to disappear. When her climbing coach takes an interest in her, his attention is more complicated than she anticipated. She resents her father’s erratic behavior, but she grieves after he’s gone. And she resists her mother’s attempts to plan for her future, even as that future draws closer. Reviewed by Rebecca Munro.

Five years ago, Geeta’s no-good husband walked out on her, and she has no idea where he is. But in her remote village in India, rumor has it that Geeta killed him. It turns out that being known as a “self-made” widow comes with some perks. No one messes with her, harasses her or tries to control (ahem, marry) her. It’s even been good for business; no one dares to not buy her jewelry. And now other women are asking for her “expertise,” making her an unwitting consultant for husband disposal. With Geeta’s dangerous reputation becoming a double-edged sword, she has to find a way to protect the life she’s built. But what happens next sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything --- not just for Geeta, but for all the women in their village. Reviewed by Norah Piehl.

When a doorman lets slip that Jane isn't the only resident wearing an ankle monitor, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury. As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls, she discovers she hasn’t heard the end of that tattletale neighbor --- whose past isn’t as decorous as her 9-1-1 snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane’s door again? Can her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right? Reviewed by Harvey Freedenberg.

January’s New in Paperback Roundups

January's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes THE MAID, Nita Prose's utterly original debut about a charmingly eccentric hotel maid who discovers a guest murdered in his bed --- and solving this mystery will turn her once orderly world upside down; THE OMEGA FACTOR, a fascinating stand-alone thriller from Steve Berry that revolves around the Ghent Altarpiece, the most violated work of art in the world, and the secrets it holds; Alafair Burke's FIND ME, a twisty mystery about the disappearance of a young woman that leaves her best friend reeling and an NYPD homicide detective digging into her own past; and THE MAGNOLIA PALACE by Fiona Davis, a tantalizing novel about the secrets, betrayal and murder within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions.

Among our nonfiction highlights are RISE, the first-ever memoir from the most decorated female skier of all time, which reveals never-before-told stories of Lindsey Vonn's life in the fast lane, her struggle with depression, and the bold decisions that helped her break down barriers on and off the slopes; CHASING HISTORY, a triumphant memoir from Carl Bernstein, the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and pioneer of investigative journalism, who recalls his beginnings as an audacious teenage newspaper reporter in the nation’s capital --- a winning tale of scrapes, gumshoeing and American bedlam; and LORRAINE HANSBERRY by Charles J. Shields, a moving account of the life of the woman behind "A Raisin in the Sun," the most widely anthologized, read and performed play of the American stage.

THREE-EDGED SWORD by Jeff Lindsay (Thriller)
Audiobook available, read by Jeff Lindsay
Super thief Riley Wolfe can do it all. He is a master of disguise, can scale a wall, and can vanish into thin air (thick air, too). He uses these unique talents to rob the richest. But this time, it’s the most powerful who have him in their grips. It’s not just that the high-up, rogue government agent has abducted the only two people Riley loves: it’s the fact that Riley has to do the man’s dirty work to set them free. It’s something Riley ordinarily would find a modest day’s work, infiltrating a madman’s Soviet missile silo in one of the world’s most remote places, all to find a secret on a tiny flash drive. But he’s never had to race the clock like this. Reviewed by Ray Palen.

HOLLYWOOD: The Oral History by Jeanine Basinger and Sam Wasson (Performing Arts/History)
Audiobook available, read by Timothy Andrés Pabon and Marni Penning
From the archives of the American Film Institute comes a unique picture of what it was like to work in Hollywood from its beginnings to its present day. Gleaned from nearly 3,000 interviews, involving 400 voices from the industry, HOLLYWOOD lets a reader “listen in” on candid remarks from the biggest names in front of the camera (Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Harold Lloyd) to the biggest behind it (Frank Capra, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Jordan Peele), as well as the lesser known individuals who shaped what was heard and seen on screen. The result is like a conversation among the gods and goddesses of film: lively, funny, insightful, historically accurate and, for the first time, authentically honest in its portrait of Hollywood. It’s the insider’s story. Reviewed by Ron Kaplan (www.RonKaplansBaseballBookshelf.com).

A DEATH IN TOKYO by Keigo Higashino (Mystery)

In the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo, an unusual statue of a Japanese mythic beast --- a kirin --- stands guard over the district from the classic Nihonbashi Bridge. In the evening, a man who appears to be very drunk staggers onto the bridge and collapses right under the statue of the winged beast. The patrolman who sees this scene unfold goes to rouse the man, only to discover that the man is dead and was stabbed in the chest. The key to solving the crime is to find out where he was attacked and why he made such a superhuman effort to carry himself to the Nihonbashi Bridge. That same night, a young man named Yashima is injured in a car accident while attempting to flee from the police. Found on him is the wallet of the murdered man. Reviewed by Ray Palen.

Worse, there are rumors...whispers that Hadrian Marlowe is dead, killed in the fighting. But Hadrian survived with the help of the witch, Valka, and together they escaped the net of the enemy having learned a terrible truth: the gods that the Cielcin worship are real and will not rest until the universe is dark and cold. What is more, the Emperor himself is in danger. The Prophet-King has learned to track his movements as he travels along the borders of Imperial space. Now the Cielcin legions are closing in, their swords poised to strike off the head of all mankind. Reviewed by Stephen Hubbard.
