Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Ballantine Books, 3/2011
“This beautifully written story captures that electric time, the 1920's in that electric city, Paris, through the eyes of Hadley Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's first wife. While Hadley reveals the strengths and, ultimately the weaknesses in her complex and fascinating marriage, readers are treated to a novel rich in detail and riddled with real-life characters who fascinate us all.” -- Jeanne Regentin, Between the Covers, Harbor Springs, MI

"[Coben] engages readers from the first page. A plot layered with twists, action, and a scandalous history will have his many fans flying through this new offering. Coben devotees have come to expect certain thrills, and they will not be disappointed." -Library Journal

The Art of Fielding (Hardcover)

$25.99
ISBN-13: 9780316126694
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Little, Brown and Company, 9/2011
“Despite having reservations about a 'baseball book,' reading this debut novel I discovered that baseball is every bit as exciting and excruciating as any thriller, as complicated as any psychological mystery, and as heartbreaking as my favorite romance. Harbach loves his characters, and never lets them off easily. All the words I want to use to describe this book -- original, heartfelt, classic, hilarious, wise, unforgettable -- are insufficient. I loved every word of it.” -- Leslie Reiner, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL

The Tiger's Wife (Paperback)

$15.00
ISBN-13: 9780385343848
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Random House Trade Paperbacks, 11/2011
“Very rarely does a first novel announce a major new talent, but so it is with The Tiger's Wife. Brilliantly using myth and legend from the Balkans, Tea Obreht tells the story of a young doctor, her grandfather, and their shared history against the backdrop of the area's decades of turmoil and sorrow. This brilliant effort evokes echoes of Borges and Garcia Marques, and is certain to mesmerize the reader.” -- Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI

Published: Vintage, 2/2012
“Slam dunk! In the riveting conclusion to the Millenium trilogy, Larsson ties up all loose ends, and engages our hearts and minds through the characters of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist.” -- Jennie Turner-Collins, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, OH
