May 2005

May's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes HISSY FIT by Mary Kay Andrews, about an interior decorator who catches her fiancée in a compromising position with her maid of honor the night before their wedding; THE QUEEN OF THE BIG TIME, Adriana Trigiani's heartfelt story of the limits and power of love; and THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB by Karen Joy Fowler, which spent 17 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Among our nonfiction selections are DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DENIM, the enormously popular book of essays from celebrated humorist David Sedaris; BIG RUSS AND ME, Tim Russert's warm and engaging tribute to his father; and HOMESICK, in which Jenny Lauren, the niece of fashion icon Ralph Lauren, bravely recounts her battle with anorexia and bulimia.
