Night Swim
By Jessica Keener
Kindle Edition, Published 1/10/12

Sixteen-year-old Sarah Kunitz lives in a posh, suburban world of 1970 Boston.

Kindle Daily Deal: The Keeper of Lost Causes (8/26/12)

The Keeper of Lost Causes: A Department Q Novel
By Jussi Adler-Olsen
Kindle Edition, Published 8/23/12

The #1 international bestseller from Jussi Adler-Olsen, author of The Absent One.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Copenhagen’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl—who didn’t draw his weapon—blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of Copenhagen’s coldest cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead … yet.

A Face in the Crowd
By Stephen King
Kindle Single, Published 8/21/12

Editorial Review:

Stephen King has teamed up again with novelist Stewart O’Nan to write a piece of fiction that merges two of his greatest obsessions: baseball and ghost stories. In A Face in the Crowd, Dean Evers is an old widower who’s taken to watching baseball on lonely nights to distract himself from the sudden absence of his wife, and the scene of her stroke replaying in his mind. These evenings are like solitary confinement for Evers, the worst of punishments in his eyes: “a beating had to stop, but a thought could go on and on.” The games are supposed to be a diversion from this mania, but they prove to be just the opposite.

In an eerie twist, Evers is forced to face just what he’s been
trying to avoid in the wake of his wife’s death: his past. As Evers watches the game each night, a rotating cast of characters appears in the seat behind home plate–people Evers recognizes, people he
thought he’d never see again. A Face in the Crowd is a modern-day A Christmas Carol, and Dean Evers is the perfect Ebenezer Scrooge, sour yet increasingly disturbed as he’s taken on a tour of his shames and regrets. This tour begins in the plain light of realism, but ends in the surreal, taking Evers to the last place he–or the reader–expects. –-Simone Gorrindo

A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations: Two Novels
By Charles Dickens
Oprah Book Club® Selection, December 2010

Editorial Review:

About the Author
One of the grand masters of Victorian literature, Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation, but also the horror of the infamous debtors’ prison and the evils of child labor.

Freedom: A Novel
By Jonathan Franzen
Oprah Book Club® Selection, September 2010

Editorial Review:

Amazon Best of the Month, August 2010: “The awful thing about life is this:” says Octave to the Marquis in Renoir’s Rules of the Game. “Everyone has his reasons.” That could be a motto for novelists as well, few more so than Jonathan Franzen, who seems less concerned with creating merely likeable characters than ones who are fully alive, in all their self-justifying complexity. Freedom is his fourth novel, and, yes, his first in nine years since The Corrections. Happy to say, it’s very much a match for that great book, a wrenching, funny, and forgiving portrait of a Midwestern family (from St. Paul this time, rather than the fictional St. Jude).

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (P.S.)
By David Wroblewski
Oprah Book Club® Selection, September 2008

Editorial Review:

Amazon Best of the Month, June 2008: It’s gutsy for a debut novelist to offer a modern take on Hamlet set in rural Wisconsin–particularly one in which the young hero, born mute, communicates with people, dogs, and the occasional ghost through his own mix of sign and body language. But David Wroblewski’s extraordinary way with language in The Story of Edgar Sawtelle immerses readers in a living, breathing world that is both fantastic and utterly believable. In selecting for temperament and a special intelligence, Edgar’s grandfather started a line of unusual dogs–the Sawtelles–and his sons carried on his work. Continue reading »
