Avid readers know that nervous start you get when you find out a favourite author has written a new book but you didn't know about it. Or perhaps that's just me. Addiction is the a-word that applies, not avid.
Anyway imagine my dismay when I noticed that Jonathan Franzen has a new book and I did not know about it. Which means there are four people ahead of me on the Holds list for Purity
So in order to help my fellow addicts (I mean avid readers) I am alerting you to the following books by popular authors on order at Christchurch City Libraries. Get your name down now and avoid disappointment. You'll never be higher on the list.
Killing Monica by Candace Bushnell. Fiction or thinly veiled fact about Sex and the City? "If you think that you're just cray-cray" says Bushnell. You be the judge.
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. Eat Pray Love. And Read.
The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman. Paris, Pissaro, passion. Good old Alice.
The story of the lost child by Elena Ferrante. The fourth in the Neapolitan novels.
Above the Waterfall by Ron Rash. He's not as popular as he should be. Now is the time to redress that.
Speaking in Bones by Kathy Reichs. Her 18th outing. She must be doing something right.
All the Stars in the Heavens by Adriana Trigiani. Adriana's take on the Golden Age of Hollywood.
