All the Way Home by David Geffels June 2008 "Hilarious and heartfelt account of one man's restoration of a decrepit mansion while starting his own family. Bob Vila could learn a thing or two--how to vanquish the smell of cat pee, how to evacuate squirrels with an electric guitar. Valuable lessons on building a home and creating a home." |

Gossip of the Starlings by Nina de Gramont June 2008 “A dark and fascinating story of the obsessive friendship between two privileged prep school girls. Their self-absorbed daring and belief in their own invincibility can only lead to disaster. It is a testament to the masterful writing that, though I did not care for the main characters, I couldn't wait to see how it would all end.” |

The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston June 2008 “Fascinating account of the ongoing case of the infamous Italian serial killer. If it were fiction, it wouldn't be believed. As one prosecutor says, ‘This investigation, if it weren't so tragic, would put one in mind of the Pink Panther.’” |

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein May 2008 "Enzo, the narrator of The Art of Racing in the Rain, is one of the most charming and unforgettable characters in a very long time--intelligent, philosophical, courageous, loyal, wise, reflective, humble, hopeful, heroic and funny--oh, and he happens to be a dog--a very enlightened dog." |

The Prince of Frogtown by Rick Bragg May 2008 "Becoming stepfather to a 10-year-old boy spurs Mr. Bragg to investigate the life of his own father. Though heartbreaking, this final volume in the saga (that includes All Over But the Shoutin' and Ava's Man) is moving, humorous, tragic and brave. He can make you laugh in one sentence and cry the next." |
