Week One: Books & Genre

I went out of my comfort zone as a both skeptic and sci-fi fan and selected USA Today Happily Ever After.  I have a friend that often complains the genre seems stale to her. Based on the reviews I read, I would  recommend Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The concurrent storylines should remind adults of their favorite choose your own adventure novel from a few or many years ago.  As an avid DR show listener I stayed close to home and selected NPR books. I frequently listen to the author interviews and book discussions yet never seem to have the time to read any of the books.  Based on the number of holds on Judy Blooms' new adult novel it seems most listeners don't have the same problem. Today's interview with author  Nisid Hajari covering the violence in India that lead to partition was very insightful. After listening, I feel comfortable ensuring customers that Midnight 's Furies will provide a great deal of information on the history of partition and provide a judicious view of the current state of the region.
