APRIL BOOK RELEASES


March came in like a lamb and is going out like a lion...or is it the other way around?

In my part of the country we're experiencing "lion-like" temps...Twenty degrees this morning!

April brings some wonderful (and some not so wonderful) new titles. One of my favorite authors, Anne Tyler debuts a new novel titled THE BEGINNER'S GOODBYE which sounds like another refreshing, readable take on life's challenges.

 Here's a list and brief summary of some April releases:


THE BOTTOM LINE......

THE BEGINNER'S GOODBYE by Anne TYLER tells the story of a disabled man who is suffering from a loss and trying to figure out life. This author always writes with humor and a piercing understanding of human foibles.

CALICO JOE by John Grisham is a book I reviewed previously.(Check the Book Index) It's a baseball story (OH no..) that takes place in 1973. Fathers and sons collide, forgiveness plays a part, and Grisham fans will call it a great Spring Opener.

FARTHER AWAY: Essays by Jonathan Franzen is a series of essays and speeches focusing on issues that have preoccupied Franzen the past five years and they are never ending.

DRIFT by Rachel Maddow displays the qualities of this author who is my favorite MSNBC host. Displaying her sharp and caustic wit, Maddow tells the story of American warfare and the debate about its purpose.
