SUMMARY:Lauren Willig reads from her latest That Summer
DESCRIPTION:2009: When Julia Conley hears that she has inherited a house outside London from an unknown great-aunt\, she assumes it’s a joke. She hasn’t been back to England since the car crash that killed her mother when she was six\, an event she remembers only in her nightmares. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house—with the help of her cousin Natasha and sexy antiques dealer Nicholas—bits of memory start coming back. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting\, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe\, and a window onto the house’s shrouded history begins to open… \n1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man\, Arthur. The one bright spot in her life is her step-daughter\, Evie\, a high-spirited sixteen year old who is the closest thing to a child Imogen hopes to have. But everything changes when three young painters come to see Arthur’s collection of medieval artifacts\, including Gavin Thorne\, a quiet man with the unsettling ability to read Imogen better than anyone ever has. When Arthur hires Gavin to paint her portrait\, none of them can guess what the hands of fate have set in motion. \nFrom modern-day England to the early days of the Preraphaelite movement\, Lauren Willig’s That Summer takes readers on an un-put-downable journey through a mysterious old house\, a hidden love affair\, and one woman’s search for the truth about her past—and herself.

SUMMARY:Joanna Rakoff reads from My Salinger Year
DESCRIPTION:At 23\, after leaving graduate school to pursue her dreams of becoming a poet\, Joanna Rakoff moves to New York City and takes a job as assistant to the storied literary agent of J. D. Salinger. She spends her days in the plush\, wood-paneled agency\, where Dictaphones and typewriters still prevail and old-time agents doze at their desks in the late afternoon\, and at night she goes home to the tiny\, threadbare Williamsburg apartment she shares with her socialist boyfriend. Precariously balanced between glamour and poverty\, surrounded by titanic personalities\, and struggling to trust her own artistic talent\, Joanna is tasked with responding to Salinger’s voluminous fan mail. But as she reads the deeply candid letters from his fans\, she finds herself abandoning the agency’s form letter and writing her own responses. Over the course of the year\, she finds her own voice by acting as Salinger’s\, on her own dangerous and wonderful terms. \nJoanna Rakoff paints a vibrant portrait of a bright\, hungry young woman moving through a heady and much-longed for world\, trying to square romantic aspirations with burgeoning self-awareness\, the idea of a life with life itself. My Salinger Year is a graceful\, deeply moving literary fairytale and the coming-of-age story of a talented young writer.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of The Mother Court with James D. Zirin
DESCRIPTION:This is the first book to chronicle the history of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York\, the most influential District court in the United States\, from the perspective of a practicing attorney who has argued many cases before some of its most esteemed judges. \nIt gives first-hand insight into the evolution of our justice system—where it has been\, where it is now and where it is going. It provides an anatomy of what a trial is all about in an American courtroom\, featuring the most famous trials of the period in the greatest court in the nation. It gives the reader a taste of what the storied judges of the period— Weinfeld\, Murphy\, Mansfield\, Tyler\, Motley and Palmieri\, to name a few—were all about\, how they thought\, how they judged\, and why they were the worthy keepers of our sacred right to justice\, as well as the historical traditions of the Court. \n

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Papa is a Poet with Natalie Bober
DESCRIPTION:When Robert Frost was a child\, his family thought he would grow up to be a baseball player. Instead\, he became a poet. His life on a farm in New Hampshire inspired him to write “poetry that talked\,” and today he is famous for his vivid descriptions of the rural life he loved so much. There was a time\, though\, when Frost had to struggle to get his poetry published. Told from the point of view of Lesley\, Robert Frost’s oldest daughter\, this is the story of how a lover of language found his voice.

SUMMARY:Ari Goldman reads from The Late Starters Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:If you thought a fiddler on a roof was in a precarious position\, imagine what happens when a middle-aged professor with a bad back takes up the cello. Ari Goldman hasn’t played in twenty-five years\, but he’s decided to give the cello one last chance. First he secures a seat in his eleven-year-old son’s youth orchestra\, and then he’s ready for the big time: the Late Starters Orchestra of New York City—a bona fide amateur string orchestra for beginning or recently returning adult players. \nWe accompany Goldman to LSO rehearsals (their motto is “If you think you can play\, you can”) and sit in on his son’s Suzuki lessons (where we find out that children do indeed learn differently from adults). And we wonder whether Goldman will be good enough to perform at his next birthday party. Coming to the rescue is the ghost of Goldman’s very first cello teacher\, Mr. J\, who continues to inspire and guide him—about music and more—through this enchanting midlife journey.

SUMMARY:Kate White reads from Eyes on You
DESCRIPTION:From New York Times bestselling author Kate White comes a riveting psychological suspense in which a media star must battle a malevolent enemy who may be disturbingly close to her. After losing her on-air job two years ago\, television host Robin Trainer has fought her way back and now she’s hotter than ever. With her new show climbing in the ratings and her first book a bestseller\, she’s being dubbed a media double threat. But suddenly\, things begin to go wrong. Small incidents at first: a nasty note left in her purse; her photo shredded. But the obnoxious quickly becomes threatening when the foundation the makeup artist uses burns Robin’s face. It wasn’t an accident—someone had deliberately doctored with the product. An adversary with a dark agenda wants to hurt Robin\, and the clues point to someone she works with every day. While she frantically tries to put the pieces together and unmask this hidden foe\, it becomes terrifyingly clear that the person responsible isn’t going to stop until Robin loses everything that matters to her . . . including her life.
