SUMMARY:Christine Reilly launches her debut novel Sunday's on the Phone to Monday
DESCRIPTION:The Middlesteins meets The Virgin Suicides in this arresting family love story about the eccentric yet tight-knit Simone family\, coping with tragedy during 90’s New York\, struggling to reconnect with each other and heal. Claudio and Mathilde Simone\, once romantic bohemians hopelessly enamored with each other\, find themselves nestled in domesticity in New York\, running a struggling vinyl record store and parenting three daughters as best they can: Natasha\, an overachieving prodigy; sensitive Lucy\, with her debilitating heart condition; and Carly\, adopted from China and quietly fixated on her true origins. With prose that is as keen and illuminating as it is whimsical and luminous\, debut novelist Christine Reilly tells the unusual love story of this family. Poignant and humane\, Sunday’s on the Phone to Monday is a deft exploration of the tender ties that bind families together\, even as they threaten to tear them apart.

SUMMARY:Brenda Janowitz reads from her new book The Dinner Party
DESCRIPTION:This Passover Seder is not just any Passover Seder. Yes\, there will be a quick service and then a festive meal afterwards\, but this night is different from all other nights. This will be the night the Golds of Greenwich meet the Rothschilds of New York City. The Rothschilds are the stuff of legends. They control banks\, own vineyards in Napa\, diamond mines in Africa\, and even an organic farm somewhere in the Midwest that produces the most popular Romaine lettuce consumed in this country. And now\, Sylvia Gold’s daughter is dating one of them. When Sylvia finds out that her youngest of three is going to bring her new boyfriend to the Seder\, she’s giddy. When she finds out that his parents are coming\, too\, she darn near faints. Making a good impression is all she thinks about. Well\, almost. She still has to consider her other daughter\, Sarah\, who’ll be coming with her less than appropriate beau and his overly dramatic Italian mother. But the drama won’t stop there. Because despite the food and the wine\, despite the new linen and the fresh flowers\, the holidays are about family. Long forgotten memories come to the surface. Old grievances play out. And Sylvia Gold has to learn how to let her family go.

SUMMARY:Paul Vidich reads from his debut novel An Honorable Man
DESCRIPTION:A debut espionage novel in the style of Alan Furst and John le Carré\, An Honorable Man is a chilling Cold War spy thriller set in 1950s Washington\, D.C. Washington D.C.\, 1953. The Cold War is heating up: McCarthyism\, with all its fear and demagoguery\, is raging in the nation’s capital\, and Joseph Stalin’s death has left a dangerous power vacuum in the Soviet Union. The CIA\, meanwhile\, is reeling from a double agent within their midst. Someone is selling secrets to the Soviets\, compromising missions around the globe. Undercover agents have been assassinated\, and anti-Communist plots are being cut short in ruthlessly efficient fashion. The CIA director knows any news of the traitor\, whose code name is Protocol\, would be a national embarrassment and compromise the entire agency. George Mueller seems to be the perfect man to help find the mole: Yale-educated; extensive experience running missions in Eastern Europe; an operative so dedicated to his job that it left his marriage in tatters. The Director trusts him. Mueller\, though\, has secrets of his own\, and as he digs deeper into the case\, making contact with a Soviet agent\, suspicion begins to fall on him as well. Until Protocol is found\, no one can be trusted\, and everyone is at risk. \nPaul Vidich will be in conversation with Helen Phillips\, author of The Beautiful Bureaucrat.

SUMMARY:Joshua Hammer reads from The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu
DESCRIPTION:To save precious centuries-old Arabic texts from Al Qaeda\, a band of librarians in Timbuktu pulls off a brazen heist worthy of Ocean’s Eleven. In the 1980s\, a young adventurer and collector for a government library\, Abdel Kader Haidara\, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River\, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu tells the incredible story of how Haidara\, a mild-mannered archivist and historian from the legendary city of Timbuktu\, later became one of the world’s greatest and most brazen smugglers. In 2012\, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali\, including Timbuktu. They imposed Sharia law\, chopped off the hands of accused thieves\, stoned to death unmarried couples\, and threatened to destroy the great manuscripts. As the militants tightened their control over Timbuktu\, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350\,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali. Over the past twenty years\, journalist Joshua Hammer visited Timbuktu numerous times and is uniquely qualified to tell the story of Haidara’s heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve Mali’s—and the world’s—literary patrimony. Hammer explores the city’s manuscript heritage and offers never-before-reported details about the militants’ march into northwest Africa. But above all\, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu is an inspiring account of the victory of art and literature over extremism.

SUMMARY:Ariel Winter reads from his latest Barren Cove
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominee–and former Corner Bookstore bookseller–Ariel S. Winter explores the secret legacy of an enigmatic family in this thrillingly atmospheric novel with a compelling and unexpected twist. \nSapien is a relic of a bygone age\, searching for meaning in a world where his outdated allegiances to a time long past have left him isolated and hopeless. Seeking peace and quiet\, he retires to a beach house at Barren Cove\, a stately Victorian manor even more antiquated than he.  He becomes increasingly fascinated with the family whose lives are entwined with the home—angry and rebellious Clark; flamboyant Kent; fragile\, beautiful Mary; and most of all\, Beachstone\, the mysterious man whose history may hold all the answers Sapien has been searching for. As Sapien unlocks their secret loves and betrayals\, the dangerous past of Barren Cove will indelibly change him…and who he is fated to become.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Robin Newman's latest Hildie Bitterpickles Needs Her Sleep
DESCRIPTION:A redheaded young witch named Hildie can’t get to sleep after a giant moves in next door with a “noisy beanstalk elevator” that goes “clangity\, clank\, clunk all night long.” Then an elderly woman with a “gazillion” noisy children shows up (their home is part Converse sneaker\, part retro mobile home)\, and a wolf huffs\, puffs\, and blows the roof off Hildie’s house. \nThis is an exceptionally strong debut for Chris Ewald whose gauzy\, caricatured images meld playful modern details with familiar storybook figures: readers will have fun spotting cameos by Humpty Dumpty\, Little Miss Muffet\, and more.
