So many books* celebrated their birthdays yesterday!
(*that I highly recommend)
Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich - The debut novel that everyone will take to the beach this summer! A rollicking, sexy, heartfelt romantic comedy about a grieving widow who starts out wanting to get in shape and winds up finding love. Warning: Dreamboat status male protagonist.
The Curiosity by Stephen Kiernan - Michael Crichton meets The Time Traveler’s Wife in
this powerful debut novel in which a man, frozen in the Arctic ice for more than a century, wakes up to the present day, has to cope with the vast changes —and falls in love with the beautiful scientist who found him.
Lost Girls by Robert Kolker - A literary account of the lives and presumed serial killings of five “Craigslist” prostitutes, whose bodies were found on the same Long Island beach in 2010. Based on the New York Magazine cover story.
Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda – a huge in-house fave! A riveting literary mystery set against the rough-hewn backdrop of the New York waterfront (one part Richard Price, one part The Lovely Bones) in which the disappearance of a teenaged girl sends shock waves through her community. Part of Dennis Lehane's line of books.
