Hello, librarian friends.
Today, I'm thrilled to share my interview with Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind. Rumaan's latest novel is one of the buzziest books of the fall, and for good reason: it's part tension-packed thriller, part biting social critique, told in Rumaan's signature voice that won him acclaim for his previous novels Rich and Pretty and 酸酸乳高速节点购买.
Leave the World Behind flew to the top of my TBR pile when all-star Harper sales rep Kate McCune raved about it. You can read her thoughts here. I subsequently tore through the book in a matter of days, and, along with my colleagues Virginia Stanley and Lainey Mays, formed a triumvirate of Rumaan-fandom. The book has also received praise from authors Roxane Gay, Emma Straub, Laura Lippman, and others. Just check out this rave from Laura Lippman!
"You will want to read Leave the World Behind very quickly, you will want to read it very slowly and savor every word. Rumaan Alam's ingenious, gorgeously written novel feels both like a prophecy and a contemporaneous response to our anxious era, all of it building to a perfect finale." —Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Lady in the Lake and My Life as a Villainess
You can listen to our interview below and also check out our show notes. Enjoy!

We are honored to have a guest post from Pamela Crane, author of Little Deadly Secrets, on the blog this week. Little Deadly Secrets is the latest addictively readable domestic suspense novel from 好用的付费ssr bestselling author Pamela Crane. In this book, we meet Mackenzie, Robin, and Lily. They have been inseparable forever, sharing life’s ups and downs and growing even closer as the years have gone by. They know everything about each other—or so they believe.
Welcome, Pamela!

My kids call me the Mental Mommy. We even made matching t-shirts. Before the pandemic, we wore them to our library so that I could easily find my children amid the book stacks. (Because what other kid would wear a shirt that says Proud child of a Mental Mommy?) The nickname could have evolved because there are four of them and one of me, and since they outnumber me, some days Mommy goes a little...well, mental. When I asked my oldest daughter where they came up with it, she told me it’s because I write stories about domestic drama, particularly mothers and their wild families. I remember sighing with relief (yay, they didn’t think I was a bad mom!)...until she elaborated that she, too, wrote a short story about murder and motherhood. I’m sure I’ll be paying for her therapy over it someday.
Sure, being a mom makes it hard to write. Sneaking in a chapter here, a paragraph there, around naps and snacks and virtual learning (God help me). But motherhood also gives writers an advantage. It stretches you in ways you never imagine—both in how it fills you with a sacrificial love more limitless than the skies, and pushes your buttons more than a trigger-happy child on an elevator. The range of emotions parenthood equips you with is enough to fill a Fyodor Dostoyevsky page count, and the drama (oh, the drama!) would make Shakespeare’s quill pen tremble.
My books are as honest as life. We rarely see this in literature, the darker side of motherhood. Instead we read about the ever-patient mom with kids who are rarely seen or heard. In real life, kids are noisy, messy, curious, always talking over you, screaming a thousand “Mommy’s!” a day. There’s a lot of drama that comes with parenting—whether your child is little or big—and to me, it makes a more exciting family dynamic in fiction. That’s what I write about. The little and big messes that come with family—and in the case of Little Deadly Secrets, include a dash of murder.
If you’re a parent, you know what I’m talking about. When your toddler paints his bedroom in poo. Or when your five-year-old plays hairdresser and cuts her sister’s hair in a style even the 1980s would disown. From there the problems grow bigger, like when your pre-teen uses his first swear word (he certainly didn’t learn that word from me!). By the time they hit puberty, lying is an art form. Don’t get me started on the teen drama. I’m faint just thinking about it.
You’ll find “Mental Mommy-hood” woven into my drama because life with kids is full of it. Kids are natural rebels, wanting their own way, watching the world around them, wondering how they can tame it for their own. So I feature those rebellious children, angsty teens, and miniature spitfires...then tell my children never to act like Mommy’s characters.
We are reaching out to let you know about a very special upcoming episode of Door to Door that you won't want to miss!
On Tuesday, July 21st at 2:00pm ET, join us for an entirely fresh look at the cities in which we live! Go on an intellectual adventure with Thomas Hynes, author of Wild City and Spike Carlsen, author of A Walk Around the Block.
About Wild City by Thomas Hynes: An illustrated guide to 40 of the most well-known, surprising, notorious, mythical, and sublime non-human citizens of New York City—a love letter to its surprising ecological diversity.
Wild City is chock full of delightful surprises, so be sure to join us to learn more. Below are seven fun facts to get you started!
1. There are more peregrine falcons per square mile in NYC than anywhere else in the world. The ledges and pigeons make it an ideal habitat.
2.The first panda bear to ever set foot (or paw) anywhere in the United States first lived for two months in a Midtown apartment before relocating to a zoo.
3. There are two beavers on the New York City flag.
4. In the late 1800s, there were more horses living in New York City than there were humans living in Pittsburgh.
5. Rooftop honey bees in Brooklyn unintentionally uncovered the largest known marijuana growing facility in New York City's history.
6. New York City, as recently as 1600, was home to half the world's oysters.
7. There is a coyote living in Central Park.
About A Walk Around the Block by Spike Carlsen: The bestselling author of A Splintered History of Wood uses a walk around his hometown to explore how every part of our urban landscape—from manhole covers and recycling bins to pedestrian crossings and bike lanes—impact and shape our lives in this fascinating work of popular science.
Watch this great video introduction to A Walk Around the Block by author Spike Carlsen!
Check out these ten unique experiences Spike Carlsen encountered while researching for A Walk Around the Block!
1. A conversation with Bea Johnson (who explains how her family of four generates a mere quart jar of trash during an entire year).
2. Touring the Trash Museum of New York City (home of 45,000+ items one sanitation worker collected over a 34-year career).
3. Walking through the sewers of Paris (an activity that’s been popular with Parisians for 170 years).
4. Interviewing squirrel linguist Robert Lishak (a professor at Auburn University who’s studied squirrel behavior and language for 40 years) (now I know what Kuk-kuk means).
5. Spending a week with a pigeon racer, his racing club and his 240 "race horses of the sky" as they find their way home from 100 miles away.
6. Working side-by-side in a Paris alley with graffiti artist, Irvin (making a name for myself without being arrested).
7. Judging a roadkill contest in Marlington, West Virginia (the wild boar-pepper dish won over the Bumper Bear tacos and rabbit stew).
8. Nordic Walking with the Nordic Walking Queen (and adding years to my life).
9. Strolling through Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia (a cemetery that’s part public park, part burial ground, part art museum, and part wedding venue).
10. Walking the neighborhood route with my mail delivery person (and finding out why the letter to my next-door neighbors needs to travel 60 miles).

Watch a special message to librarians from Nancy Pearl!
The Talented Miss Farwell by Emily Gray Tedrowe For fans of: The Collector's Apprentice by B. A. Shapiro and Tangerine by Christine Mangan Catch Me If You Can meets Patricia Highsmith in this electrifying page-turner of greed and obsession, survival and self-invention, that is a piercing character study of one unforgettable female con artist.
"The gritty underbelly of the art market and the pathology of decades of financial chicanery meet their delirious match in Tedrowe’s Miss Farwell, who stands glaring up at the reader from the intersection of Hitchcock’s Marnie and Highsmith’s Ripley. Watch out for papercuts." —Jonathan Lethem, bestselling author of The Feral Detective
Listen to our podcast episode featuring author Emily Gray Tedrowe in conversation with her father Alan Gray, Darien Library Director.
Monogamy by Sue Miller For fans of: Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver and My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout A brilliantly insightful novel, engrossing and haunting, about marriage, love, family, happiness and sorrow, from New York Times bestselling author Sue Miller.
"A robust, character-driven examination of the inner workings of a lengthy marriage…. The novel is grounded by vibrant prose, vividly portrayed secondary characters, and the resiliency of everlasting love…. A spectacular, powerful return." —Publishers Weekly review
Watch author Sue Miller's guest appearance on Door to Door!
Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots For fans of: Vengeful by V. E. Schwab and Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory
A smart, imaginative, and evocative novel of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, told with razor-sharp wit and affection, in which a young woman discovers the greatest superpower—for good or ill—is a properly executed spreadsheet.
"Walschots playfully pokes at both office politics and comic book absurdity while offering gripping action and gut-wrenching body horror. The inventive premise, accessible heroine, and biting wit will have readers eager for more from this talented author." —Publishers Weekly review
The Most Precious of Cargoes by Jean-Claude Grumberg For fans of: Fox 8 by George Saunders Set during the height of World War II, a powerful and unsettling tale about a woodcutter and his wife, who find a mysterious parcel thrown from a passing train.
"With subtlety and intention, the novella ultimately implores us to consider the purpose of literature after tragedy: well-trodden thematic territory after 1945, to be sure, but approached here in a unique way. It is difficult, in 2020, to write a work of fiction about the Holocaust that is original; even simply in this sense, Grumberg’s work succeeds where many have failed. A postmodern fairy tale, by turns evoking horror and wonder, that scrutinizes the relationship between myth and history." —Kirkus Reviews review
These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever For fans of: The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai and My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent The Secret History meets Call Me by Your Name in Micah Nemerever's compulsively readable debut novel—a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.
"As unsettling as it is enthralling, These Violent Delights will engulf you: first in the intoxication of obsession, then in its toxic consequences. Micah Nemerever's debut is a beautiful portrait of intimacy, desperation, and the damage that damaged hearts can cause. It shattered me." —Robin Wasserman, author of Girls on Fire and Mother Daughter Widow Wife
The Short Life and Curious Death of Free Speech in America by Ellis Cose For fans of: Open Season by Ben Crump and How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

"In a stunningly original book, Ellis Cose cuts to the very core of free speech battles. Ordinary people are being held captive by ear-splitting political voices while not enough Americans are protecting and being freed by listening to the voices of ordinary people. An abolitionist book for this moment, for this time when free speech slumbers in chains." —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist
Make Them Cry by Smith Henderson and Jon Marc Smith For fans of: Bearskin by James McLaughlin and Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane For fans of 小火箭节点购买网站 and Jason Bourne, Make Them Cry is an explosive action thriller about a DEA agent sucked into a dangerous turf war on the US-Mexico border.
"Diane 'Hardball' Harbaugh has helped put a lot of drug dealers behind bars. 'You got two speeds, girl,' her partner says. 'Legal eagle and meth dealer.' The woman has a whole lot more bravery than sense, but that makes for the good story this is.... Plenty of flaws in the main character but few in this satisfying thriller." —Kirkus Reviews review
For fans of: Late in the Day by Tessa Hadley and The Burning Girl by Claire Messud From the acclaimed author of the classics ssr免费订阅地址 and In Country comes a beautifully crafted and profoundly moving novel which follows a woman as she looks back over her life and her first love.

"The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett is an exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death. In the latter, the author dares to explore a subject that many shy away from, but she does so with touching sensitivity, gentle humour and absolute honesty. Eudora’s courage, dignity and wry sense of fun are beautifully drawn as she takes the reader on the heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting journey of her life and death. Everyone should read this book." —Ruth Hogan, author of Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel
To Tell You the Truth by Gilly MacMillan Also from the author: 免费ssr节点2021 and The Perfect Girl
The acclaimed author of The Nanny, I Know You Know, and 好用的节点购买网站returns with another serpentine thriller that is a potent blend of atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and twisty secrets from the past.

"Fans of the 'Hot and Hammered' series (好用的节点购买网站; Love Her or Lose Her) will delight in visiting with familiar characters, but this can certainly be read as a stand-alone. Fans of Christina Lauren and Helena Hunting should add Bailey to their list of go-to rom-com authors." —Library Journal review

Today, we are featuring a guest post from Rebekah Taussig, author of 小火箭节点购买网站, coming out on August 25, 2020.
Sitting Pretty is a memoir-in-essays from Rebekah Taussig, disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty, reflecting on identity, accessibility, and representation and processing a lifetime of memories to paint a more beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most.
Thirty years later, I’ve finally written an actual book! Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body was born from my tenderest memories and most pressing questions attached to navigating life from a wheelchair. It’s a memoir told in essay form, each chapter covering a different topic, from romance to work, ableism to feminism, representation to accessibility. One of the central themes of the book casts a spotlight on access—what it looks like, who has it, who doesn’t, and how to create more of it for more folks.
As my book became more and more real, I talked with my publishers about ways to make it more accessible to readers. Books can be expensive, and there are so many reasons—especially right now—that people might not have the funds to purchase it. This is the space libraries occupy—a point of access, an inclusive invitation to anyone who wants access to the world of language. My dream is that Sitting Pretty could occupy the shelves of libraries far and wide, bridging that gap and creating more access for more readers. It’s similar to my childhood dream of sharing my homemade treehouse books with neighbors and friends, only this version invites way more folks to the reading party.
Thank you so much for considering my book as a new addition to your shelves. It would be an honor to be included. And either way, thank you for all you do to make reading and stories more accessible to more people—it’s invaluable, transformative work.
All my best,
Rebekah G. Taussig

Check out all of the reviews featured in the June issue of 酸酸乳高速节点购买:
比较好的付费ssr节点 by Natasha Trethewey: "...A work of exquisitely distilled anguish and elegiac drama.... Through finely honed, evermore harrowing memories, dreams, visions, and musings, Trethewey maps the inexorable path to her mother’s murder." —Donna Seaman
ssr最新订阅地址大全 by Helena Andrews-Dyer and R. Eric Thomas: "In an approach which borders on hagiography, Andrews-Dyer and Thomas bring all the snap and pizzazz one would expect to their subject.... Their buoyant and zesty portrait of the woman known as “Kerosene Maxine” and “Auntie Maxine” is perfect for the vivacious, unconventional, tireless, and essential Waters." —Carol Haggas
This Is What America Looks Like by Ilhan Omar with Rebecca Paley: "In telling her remarkable story, Omar reminds us all of what it means to fearlessly strive for a better life, a better nation, and a better world." 小火箭节点购买网站
The Lehman Trilogy by Stefano Massini: "The Lehman Trilogy, a 2012 Italian radio play turned into a full-length play that has been a hit throughout Europe and in London and New York, was set for Broadway when COVID-19 hit.... On stage, just three actors perform it; on the page, it’s a panoramic circus, and ravishing, rollicking reading all the way." —Ray Olson
This Is Major by Shayla Lawson: "It is Lawson’s love letter to herself and every other Black woman who may have felt invisible or misunderstood. In one of the rare times in print, the totality and the essence of Black women are front and center here." —LaParis Hawkins
The Mystery of Charles Dickens by A.N. Wilson "Beyond the eye-opening analysis, Wilson also offers a moving personal account of why Dickens has meant so much to him. Dickens' novels, he concludes, possess the power of a mesmerist, convincing us that, despite the horrors of the external world, "every man, woman, and child goes on being not only an individual but, potentially, a comic individual." —Bill Ott
好用的节点购买网站 Edited by Jonathan Strahan: "This collection is highly recommended to both established genre fans and newcomers interested quality sf and fantasy." —Nell Keep
The Boy in the Field by Margot Livesey: "Braiding three separate views of the same incident, Livesey (Mercury, 2016) weaves a masterful tapestry of emotion and action focused on the indelible impact of random events." —Carol Haggas
The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite: "Waite’s poetically polished prose is infused with just the right measure of sly wit and perfectly complemented by a marvelously inventive plot involving not only the art and science of beekeeping but also a village queen bee's attempt to use censorship to wield control over her fellow citizens, and the political turmoil surrounding George IV and his wife, Caroline." —John Charles

Survivor Song by Paul Tremblay: A riveting novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.
"Tremblay has earned worldwide acclaim because he is able to seamlessly combine reality with speculative elements, and his newest may be his most prescient yet.... Gorgeously written about terrible things, the relatively short Survivor Song is a good choice for fans of pandemic epics ...and novels that probe themes of friendship, family, and social commentary amidst chillingly realistic horror." —Booklist review
Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey: A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedy.
"Through finely honed, evermore harrowing memories, dreams, visions, and musings, Trethewey maps the inexorable path to her mother’s murder.... Trethewey writes, 'To survive trauma, one must be able to tell a story about it.' And tell her tragic story she does in this lyrical, courageous, and resounding remembrance." —Booklist review

Listen in to this week's episode with the incomparable Susan Elizabeth Phillips, in conversation with her Editor, Carrie Feron. You'll get an inside peek at the relationship between editor and author as well as hear about Susan's upcoming novel Dance Away with Me.
More about Dance Away with Me: When life throws her one setback too many, midwife and young widow Tess Hartsong takes off for Runaway Mountain. In this small town high in the Tennessee mountains, surrounded by nature, she hopes to outrun her heartbreak and find the solace she needs to heal.
But instead of peace and quiet, she encounters an enigmatic artist with a craving for solitude, a fairy-tale sprite with too many secrets, a helpless infant, a passel of curious teens, and a town suspicious of outsiders, especially one as headstrong as Tess. Just as headstrong, is Ian North, a difficult, gifted man with a tortured soul—a man who makes Tess question everything.
In running away to this new life, Tess wonders—has she lost herself...or has she found her future?
