May 2009
May’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY, a unique collaboration between the late Mary Ann Shaffer and her niece, Annie Barrows, that illustrates the power of resilience, romance --- and reading; TESTIMONY by Anita Shreve, an absorbing tale of stunned parents, lost children and the night that changed their lives; THE BOOK OF LIES, in which Brad Meltzer intertwines two vastly disparate crimes: the Biblical account of mankind's "first murder" and the real-life tragedy that inspired the creation of a legendary comic book superhero; RULES OF DECEPTION, the latest espionage thriller from Christopher Reich that finds a man the subject of an international manhunt and the target of a master assassin after his wife's death; and Lisa Gardner’s SAY GOODBYE, which marks the return of FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy (last seen in 2006’s GONE), this time in a starring role.
Among our nonfiction highlights are THE DOWNHILL LIE, celebrated author Carl Hiaasen’s hilarious confessional about returning to the golf course after a 32-year absence; AUDITION, in which famed television journalist Barbara Walters describes her extraordinary public and private journey; THE FIRST 30 DAYS, Ariane de Bonvoisin’s guidebook that reveals the nine principles of change that will revolutionize how you face transition times; and HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD by Charla Krupp, which details “Fast and Effortless Ways to Look 10 Years Younger, 10 Pounds Lighter, 10 Times Better.”
