SUMMARY:Eugene Linden reads from his debut novel Deep Past
DESCRIPTION:A routine dig in Kazakhstan takes a radical turn for thirty-two-year-old anthropologist Claire Knowland when a stranger turns up at the site with a bizarre find from a remote section of the desolate Kazakh Steppe. Her initial skepticism of this mysterious discovery gives way to a realization that the find will shake the very foundations of our understanding of evolution and intelligence. Corrupt politics of Kazakhstan force Claire to take reckless chances with the discovery.  Among the allies she gathers in her fight to save herself and bring the discovery to light is Sergei Anachev\, a brilliant but enigmatic Russian geologist who becomes her unlikely protector even as he deals with his own unknown crisis. Ultimately\, Claire finds herself fighting not just for the discovery and her academic reputation\, but for her very life as great power conflict engulfs the unstable region and an unscrupulous oligarch attempts to take advantage of the chaos. Drawing on Eugene Linden’s celebrated non-fiction investigations into what makes humans different from other species\, this international thriller mixes fact and the fantastical\, the realities of academic politics\, and high stakes geopolitics—engaging the reader every step of the way.

SUMMARY:Sande Boritz Berger reads from her new book Split-Level
DESCRIPTION:In Split-Level\, set as the nation recoils from Nixon\, Alex Pearl is about to commit the first major transgression of her life. But why shouldn’t she remain an officially contented\, soon-to-turn-thirty wife? She’s got a lovely home in an upscale Jersey suburb\, two precocious daughters\, and a charming husband\, Donny. But Alex can no longer deny she craves more—some infusion of passion into the cul-de-sac world she inhabits. \nAfter she receives a phone call from her babysitter’s mother reporting that Donny took the teen for a midnight ride\, promising he’d teach her how to drive\, Alex insists they attend Marriage Mountain\, the quintessential 1970s “healing couples sanctuary.” Donny accedes—but soon becomes obsessed with the manifesto A Different Proposition and its vision of how multiple couples can live together in spouse-swapping bliss. At first Alex scoffs\, but soon she gives Donny much more than he bargained for. After he targets the perfect couple to collude in his fantasy\, Alex discovers her desire for love escalating to new heights—along with a willingness to risk everything. Split-Level evokes a pivotal moment in the story of American matrimony\, a time when it seemed as if an open marriage might open hearts as wel

SUMMARY:Kate White launches her new Bailey Weggins Mystery Such a Perfect Wife
DESCRIPTION:On a sunny morning in late September\, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog along the rural roads near her home in Lake George\, New York.  It’s her usual a.m. routine\, her “me time” after dropping the kids off at school…except on this day she never returns.

SUMMARY:Emma Otheguy launches her new YA book Silver Meadows Summer
DESCRIPTION:Eleven-year-old Carolina’s summer–and life as she knows it–is upended when Papi loses his job\, and she and her family must move from Puerto Rico to her Tía Cuca and Uncle Porter’s house in upstate New York.

Will it work?

SUMMARY:Sarah Rose launches her new book D-Day Girls
DESCRIPTION:In D-Day Girls\, Sarah Rose draws on recently de­classified files\, diaries\, and oral histories to tell the thrilling story of three of these remarkable women. There’s Andrée Borrel\, a scrappy and streetwise Parisian who blew up power lines with the Gestapo hot on her heels; Odette Sansom\, an unhappily married suburban mother who saw the SOE as her ticket out of domestic life and into a meaningful adventure; and Lise de Baissac\, a fiercely independent member of French colonial high society and the SOE’s unflap­pable “queen.” Together\, they destroyed train lines\, ambushed Nazis\, plotted prison breaks\, and gathered crucial intelligence—laying the groundwork for the D-Day invasion that proved to be the turning point in the war.\nRigorously researched and written with razor-sharp wit\, D-Day Girls is an inspiring story for our own moment of resistance: a reminder of what courage—and the energy of politically animated women—can accomplish when the stakes seem incalculably high.

SUMMARY:Susannah Marren in conversation with Jamie Brenner about Susannah's new book A Palm Beach Wife
DESCRIPTION:For readers of Elin Hilderbrand\, Susannah Marren’s A Palm Beach Wife is a delicious and irresistible novel set among the high society galas and gossip of Palm Beach. \n\n\n\n\n\nAmid the glamour and galas and parties of Palm Beach\, Faith knows that image often counts as much if not more than reality. She glides effortlessly among the highest of the high society so perfectly that you would never suspect she wasn’t born to this. But it wasn’t always so; though she hides it well\, Faith has fought hard for the wonderful life she has\, for her loving\, successful husband\, for her daughter’s future. \nIn this town of secrets and gossip and rumors\, Faith has kept a desperate grip on everything she holds so dear\, built from so little. And yet even she—the only one who knows just how far she has to fall—never suspects from which direction\, or how many directions all at once\, betrayal will come.

SUMMARY:Dr. Adrienne L. Simone\, Dr. Jaqueline Worth\, and Danielle Claro celebrate the launch of their New Rules of Pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Picture this: a calm\, chill pregnancy book with the magical soothing powers of a yoga class. That’s the approach of The New Rules of Pregnancy. Here the experts guide you\, the modern pregnant woman\, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest\, compassionate\, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby’s development\, it’s all about you\, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent\, busy reader (who\, somewhere inside\, is shouting\, “Just tell me what to do!”). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered—from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues (“What makes it postpartum depression?”). The book also covers that critical “fourth trimester”—“Nursing” and “How to Feel Like Yourself Again”—because once the baby is born\, self-care typically goes out the window\, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth—two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest\, calmest\, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book’s voice—motivating\, supportive\, real—comes from Danielle Claro\, coauthor of The New Health Rules.\n\n“As caring as the physicians who wrote it\, The New Rules of Pregnancy contains all you need to know about the amazing sci-fi adventure that is having a baby. Wise\, beautiful\, and needed.”—Amy Poehler “A mindful\, intelligent guide—supportive\, concise\, and full of actionable advice. This is the pregnancy book I would give to my daughter.”—Frank Lipman\, MD

SUMMARY:Mary Norris in conversation with Benjamin Dreyer about her new book Greek to Me
DESCRIPTION:In her New York Times bestseller Between You & Me\, Mary Norris delighted readers with her irreverent tales of pencils and punctuation in The New Yorker’s celebrated copy department. In Greek to Me\, she delivers another wise and funny paean to the art of self-expression\, this time filtered through her greatest passion: all things Greek.Greek to Me is a charming account of Norris’s lifelong love affair with words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. Along the way\, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in Greece\, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon\, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite\, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris’s memorable encounters with Greek words\, Greek gods\, Greek wine—and more than a few Greek men—Greek to Me is the Comma Queen’s fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own. \nBenjamin Dreyer is the author of Dreyer’s English.

SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman reads from her new book Good Riddance
DESCRIPTION:The delightful new romantic comedy from Elinor Lipman\, in which one woman’s trash becomes another woman’s treasure\, with deliriously entertaining results.  Daphne Maritch doesn’t quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother\, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of ’68 had dedicated its yearbook\, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion\, scribbling notes and observations after each one—not always charitably—and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. \nIn a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not\, Daphne concluded\, “spark joy”)\, she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it’s found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker\, the yearbook’s mysteries—not to mention her own family’s—take on a whole new urgency\, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd.

SUMMARY:Victoria Shorr reads from her new book Midnight
DESCRIPTION:Exquisite and nuanced in its storytelling\, Midnight crafts intimate\, humanizing portraits of Jane Austen\, Mary Shelley\, and Joan of Arc that ask us to behold the women behind the icons. \nMidnight is a study in the courage of three women—Jane Austen\, Mary Shelley\, and Joan of Arc. Jane Austen was poor in 1802\, unmarried and homeless. She had outlines\, ideas\, and first drafts of her future novels but no place to sit and write them. It is at this bleak moment that she receives an offer of marriage from a rich man. Midnight takes us to the hour of her decision between financial security and her writing life. \nWhen sixteen-year-old Mary Godwin elopes to France with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley\, she scoffs at the cost—life as an outcast. Together they travel through Europe\, reading and writing\, but Midnight finds her alone\, eight years later\, pacing a terrace overlooking the Italian shore\, watching for Shelley to sail home over stormy seas in a shaky boat. \nJoan of Arc\, imprisoned in chains\, kept her faith for a long year. Be brave\, daughter of God\, her saints had whispered\, you will be saved—and she believes it\, until she is taken to be burned at the stake. Midnight is the story of Joan’s final days\, between her terrified recantation and her heroic return to the stake.

SUMMARY:Leonard Marcus launches his new book celebrating Children's Book Week Posters
DESCRIPTION:For families\, art lovers\, and history buffs alike\, Leonard S. Marcus’s visual history tour of 100 years of children’s book illustration gathers in one glorious volume the posters of the annual Children’s Book Week! \nFeaturing work from early luminaries such as N. C. Wyeth and Marcia Brown to more contemporary illustrators like David Wiesner\, Mary GrandPré\, Christian Robinson\, and Jillian Tamaki\, this beautiful collection showcases the conceptual and iconic images that have defined children’s books for generations of young readers. \nWhile the posters within these pages are linked in their resounding advocacy for young people’s literacy\, they are distinguished by the styles and mediums of their creators and by the historical\, social\, and cultural influences of their times. Renowned historian Leonard S. Marcus traces these developments in the children’s book field with incisive descriptions to accompany each poster.

Sensing a way to make change\, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic\, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister’s son—cruel\, dangerous\, and achingly beautiful—and the way forward becomes less clear. \nCaught between his purpose and his heart\, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good \n

DESCRIPTION:VENUE CHANGE \nDue to size considerations this event will now be held at The Ukrainian Institute of America which is located at 2 East 79th Street \n\n\n\n\nIvan is a tightly wound philosophy professor whose reverence for logic and order governs not only his academic interests\, but also his closest relationships. His wife\, Prue\, is quite the opposite: a pioneer in the emerging field of biolinguistics\, she is bold and vibrant\, full of life and feeling. Thus far\, they have managed to weather their differences. But lately\, an odd distance has settled in between them. Might it have something to do with the arrival of the college’s dashing but insufferable new writer-in-residence\, whose novel Prue always seems to be reading?\nInto this delicate moment barrels Ivan’s unstable father-in-law\, Frank\, in town to hear Prue deliver a lecture on birdsong that is set to cement her tenure application. But the talk doesn’t go as planned\, unleashing a series of crises that force Ivan to finally confront the problems in his marriage\, and to begin to fight – at last – for what he holds dear. \nA dazzlingly insightful and entertaining novel about the limitations of language\, the fragility of love\, and the ways we misunderstand each other and ourselves\, The Study of Animal Languages marks the debut of a brilliant new voice in fiction.

SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro reads from her new book Inheritance
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2016\, through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis\, Dani Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. She woke up one morning and her entire history–the life she had lived–crumbled beneath her. \nInheritance is a book about secrets–secrets within families\, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman’s urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity\, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years\, years she had spent writing brilliantly\, and compulsively\, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in–a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover.

As Raquel’s complex\, conflicted relationship with her client begins to gradually endanger herself\, she must decide whether to face the recurrent dangers or allow her life and the lives of those she loves to be threatened.

SUMMARY:Louise Penny will be here signing copies of her new book Kingdom of the Blind from 5-7pm.
DESCRIPTION:When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse\, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension\, and frankly curious\, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers\, the bookseller from Three Pines\, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman.The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if\, Gamache begins to ask himself\, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found\, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing. But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing. The investigation into what happened six months ago—the events that led to his suspension—has dragged on\, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip through his hands\, in order to bring down the cartels\, have been retrieved\, there is one devastating exception. Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets\, Gamache races for answers. As he uses increasingly audacious\, even desperate\, measures to retrieve the drug\, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there. \n\nPlease note that this will be a straight booksigning–no reading or presentation for this event. Kingdom of the Blind will be available for purchase the day of the event and attendees are encouraged to buy the book here. If you can’t make it between 5-7 pm\, please call us and we will reserve you a signed copy.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jeremy Mack launches his debut Phantoms of the Hotel Meurice
DESCRIPTION:This book is about the denial in contemporary France of the period of German occupation and\, in particular\, about French disavowal of participation in the final solution. Using then and now pictures of places where terrible and momentous events occurred and of significant actors in the history of the time\, it functions as a guidebook to the events that took place and as a guide to understanding how such atrocities could have happened in an eminently civilized nation.

SUMMARY:Elena Mannes launches her new book Soul Dog
DESCRIPTION:Looking for companionship after a near-fatal car crash\, Elena Mannes\, an award-winning television journalist and producer\, decided to get her first dog. But what she found with her dog Brio shook the foundations of her physical and spiritual worlds\, sending her on a quest to discover the nature of his spiritual origins and to contemplate and seek out the possibility of interspecies communication–even after death. \nSoon after bringing her puppy home\, Mannes realized that the master-companion relationship would not be possible with Brio\, who quickly showed that he had a mind–and a spirit–of his own. A healer Mannes visited immediately focused on Brio\, exclaiming that he was an old soul. Mannes’s growing curiosity about the intelligence\, emotions\, and consciousness of Brio and other dogs led her to contact an animal psychic in California who described\, with amazing accuracy\, Brio’s favorite walks and the author’s apartment from the dog’s point of view. Motivated by her experience\, Mannes produced a filmed segment with Diane Sawyer featuring the same psychic\, who described Sawyer’s country house and her dog’s favorite spots in the yard. Mannes’s skeptical journalist background compelled her to investigate further. She delved into the world of animal communicators\, psychics\, and scientists studying animal intelligence\, including Rupert Sheldrake\, to find answers to her multiplying questions: Do animals have thoughts and feelings? Consciousness? Souls? Is interspecies communication possible? Can animals reincarnate?

SUMMARY:Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein present their new book I Think\, Therefore I Draw
DESCRIPTION:With just a few pen strokes and a poignantly sharp caption\, cartoons have the power to inspire\, seduce\, outrage\, and amuse. Some of today’s best cartoonists are also some of our keenest observers\, and a great cartoon can provide\, in addition to humor and well-needed levity\, acute psychological and sociological insights. In I Think\, Therefore I Draw: Understanding Philosophy Through Cartoons\, Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein\, authors of the wildly fun international bestseller\, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar…\, have culled dozens of cartoons\, from magazines like The New Yorker and Punch\, that shine a light on mankind’s perennial conundrums—such as “Is there a cosmic scheme?”; “Is there really a difference between girls and boys?”; and “What if your right is my wrong?”. Accompanied by wonderfully witty annotations that explain how these cartoons are profoundly useful in helping us make our way through life\, I Think\, Therefore I Draw is a Philosophy 101 course that will make readers think and laugh.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Martin launches her new book Untrue
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Martin’s newest work of non-fiction\, Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women\, Lust\, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free cuts through the junk science and regressive cultural narratives that have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries\, revealing a truth both liberating and disconcerting: women are no more “naturally monogamous” than men; nor are their libidos shrinking violets. Far from it. \nOffering insights from thirty experts as well as real women from all walks of life who refuse monogamy\, Untrue also analyzes cultural shifts from plow agriculture to polyamory; introduces readers to two important “hidden figures” of American sex research; and takes readers on an immersive\, fascinating journey—from the bonobo enclosure at the San Diego Zoo to an exclusive all-female sex party in Manhattan where most of the revelers identify as heterosexual. Untrue asserts that monogamy is a tighter fit for the fairer sex; that females of many species evolved to be “promiscuous”; and that female sexual autonomy may be the most meaningful metric of gender equality. Rich with game-changing data and polemical writing\, it promises to take us far out of our comfort zone\, and may change the way you think about women and sex forever.
