Two Bookish Days

Last Friday and Saturday brought on a whirlwind 24 hours. Lisa Hickman and I headed into the city on Friday later than we had planned as “work got in the way!” We got caught in horrendous traffic --- as in WHY were the express lanes on Route 78 closed on a Friday afternoon, WHY was the traffic on the helix completely insane, WHY were there cars in the bus lane when the sign clearly said they were not supposed to be there, and WHY was I not allowed to park at the garage where I prepaid?

That was how we got to Douglas Brunt’s book party 20 minutes before it was supposed to end. That said, we got to catch up with Doug, who, as always, was terrific and generous with his time. He graciously signed his book, THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF RUDOLF DIESEL, for Lisa to give as a gift, and she swore that she would buy another as he handed her a personally inscribed one. She is scrupulously honest; on the escalator leaving the party, she bought three more. I am looking forward to an interview with Doug in the next few weeks. Lisa is listening to the book; like my husband, she was raving about it.

On Saturday, we were up early to hit the Morristown Festival of Books. And from there, we did not stop. The first panel I moderated was with Adrienne Brodeur and Andre Dubus III. You can see the beautiful altar that we were sitting on for our panel in the photo above. Adrienne and Andre were a perfect pairing to discuss complicated families.

From there, we were whisked over to another church for a conversation with Megan Abbott. As always, she was wonderful to talk to about her writing and channeling the dark side, which she said comes easily as she is “a very anxious person.” As William Landay was sick and had to miss this panel, we pivoted from Megan’s book to her screenwriting, where she shared a wonderful overview of life as a showrunner when she worked on “Dare Me”. Then we grabbed a great lunch at Azure with other authors and panelists; the food was fabulous.

We then zipped back to the second church so I could host a great panel with Claire Jiménez, Jean Kwok and Thirty Umrigar. I had not met Claire before, and she was lovely. Thrity and I had only conversed on Zoom interviews, so it was fun to meet her in person. On the flip side of this, Jean was one of my first “Bookreporter Talks To” interviews back in 2019. Jean and Thrity’s books were both newly on sale, and Claire is a debut novelist, so it was lovely to be able to share them with the audience. You can see me with Jean, Thrity and Claire in the photos above.

Lisa and I stayed on to watch the last panel, which was with Mary Beth Keane and Laura Spence-Ash. The moderator, Carol Van Den Hende, said that she has attended some of our “Bookaccino Live” evening programs, which was so nice to hear. This panel was terrific and made me want to read THE HALF MOON and BEYOND THAT, THE SEA, both of which have been sitting on my bookshelves. Throughout the day, people came up to introduce themselves as readers of ours, which was really lovely. Calendars are marked for this program in 2024 on October 18th and 19th.

I am happy to announce that our first-ever LIVE “Bookreporter Talks To” interview will take place this Wednesday, October 18th at 1pm ET.

Our guest will be William Kent Krueger, who will be talking about his latest novel, THE RIVER WE REMEMBER, and answering questions from those who won a copy of the book in a contest we ran over the summer. We have a number of readers who will be asking their question on camera, and I’ll be asking questions on behalf of our camera-shy readers.

We also thought it would be fun to open this up to a wider group so they can listen in on the interview. So if you’d like to attend, you can sign up by clicking here. Kent is super excited about this event, as we all are, and we hope to see many of you there!

October’s “Bookaccino Live” Book Preview Event
On Wednesday, we hosted this month’s “Bookaccino Live” book preview event. I talked about 27 books releasing between now and October 31st, along with 20 from November and December, that I wanted to get on your radar. We will share the link to the video in next Friday's newsletter. In the meantime, you can see a list of all the titles that I talked about here.

The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. As they work to discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and contradictions of modern Germany. Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event --- unless they can unravel the mystery in time to stop it.

BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN by Jessica Knoll
and THE MUSEUM OF FAILURES by Thrity Umrigar

BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN by Jessica Knoll (Psychological Thriller)
Jessica Knoll’s BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN brilliantly looks at an unnamed serial killer who we will recognize as the man who murdered two young women and seriously hurt two more in a horrific crime spree at a sorority house in Tallahassee in 1978. I remember this real-life incident so well, as I was in college at the time and thought how completely terrifying that situation had to be. This was the same person who had been on the prowl in the Seattle area before making his way to Colorado, where he killed and then escaped from prison twice. Along the way, at least 20 women were murdered, but the number could have totaled as many as 100.

DOPPELGANGER: A Trip into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein (Memoir)
Audiobook available, read by Naomi Klein
Not long ago, celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo? In DOPPELGANGER, Klein turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical and political crises. Reviewed by Norah Piehl.

Audiobook available, read by Sharmila Devar
In HITCHCOCK’S BLONDES, Laurence Leamer offers an intimate journey into the lives of eight legendary actresses whose stories helped chart the course of Alfred Hitchcock’s career --- from his early days in the British film industry, to his triumphant American debut, to his Hollywood heyday and beyond. Through the stories of June Howard-Tripp, Madeleine Carroll, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Janet Leigh, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint and Tippi Hedren --- who starred in 14 of Hitchcock’s most notable films and who bore the brunt of his fondness and sometimes fixation --- we can finally start to see the enigmatic man himself. After all, “his” blondes (as he thought of them) knew the truths of his art, his obsessions and desires, as well as anyone. Reviewed by Barbara Bamberger Scott.

Once Kirk and Mandy’s suspicions are confirmed, they make a list of suspects. Clues begin to connect the recent murder to the decades-old mysterious death of a beautiful 16-year-old Romany exchange student who perished when a treehouse she was sleeping in caught fire. The girl, Vadima Lupescu, had done “odd” things among her American peers that stirred up prejudices and suspicions, leading to her brutal death --- and cover-up. As Kirk and Mandy investigate the bizarre rumors --- that Vadima had “gypsy powers” and put curses on those around her --- they discover a cauldron of dark secrets. Reviewed by L.

On a beach in a run-down seaside town on the Yorkshire coastline, 16-year-old Joan Wilson is set on fire by three other schoolgirls. Nearly a decade after the horrifying murder, journalist Alec Z. Carelli has written the definitive account of the crime, drawn from hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, painstaking historical research and, most notably, correspondence with the killers themselves.

DEATH AND THE SISTERS: A Mary Shelley Mystery by Heather Redmond (Historical Mystery)
Audiobook available, read by Siobhan Waring
London, 1814: Mary Godwin and her stepsister, Jane Clairmont, possess quick minds bolstered by an unconventional upbringing. Though quieter and more reserved than the boisterous Jane, Mary’s imagination is keen, and she longs for real-world adventures. One evening, an opportunity arrives in the form of a dinner guest. At 21, Percy Bysshe Shelley is already a renowned poet and radical. When Mary comes downstairs in search of a book after the party has broken up, she finds instead a man face down on the floor --- with a knife in his back. The dead man, it seems, was a former classmate of Shelley’s, and lately had become a personal and professional rival. Mary, Jane and Shelley are all drawn to learn the truth behind the tragedy, especially as each discovery seems to hint at a tangled web that includes many in Shelley’s closest circle.
