THOMASON, DUSTIN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

For decades, December 21, 2012, has been a touchstone for doomsayers worldwide. It is the date, they claim,<br />

when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the world will end. In Los Angeles, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr.<br />

Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where<br />

he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an<br />

urgent case she thinks he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the<br />

Getty Museum, is interrupted by a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the black market antiquities trade who<br />

thrusts a duffel bag into her hands. By the end of the day, Stanton, the foremost expert on some of the rarest<br />

infections in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel,<br />

the brightest young star in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an illegal artifact that has miraculously<br />

survived the centuries intact: a priceless codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record,<br />

written in secret by a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life’s work and to one of history’s great<br />

riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight. Suddenly it seems that our own civilization might suffer this<br />

same fate.<br />

THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED<br />

JONASSON, JONAS<br />

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only<br />

problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan<br />

really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He<br />

climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving,<br />

among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand<br />

operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant). It would be the adventure of a lifetime for<br />

anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important<br />

events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them.<br />

THE 9TH GIRL<br />

HOAG, TAMI<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The ninth unidentified body to turn up in Minneapolis in 2012 is nicknamed Jane Doe 9. Sam Kovac and Nikki<br />

Liska take on the case and discover a shocking fact: This victim has been found without any identifiable<br />

characteristics, except for those that peg her as an adolescent girl. Before the investigation is through, the case<br />

will take the two detectives deep into the life and death of a teenage girl who wanted nothing more than to be<br />

“normal.” They will come perilously close to the bullies who tormented her, the twisted family dynamics that may<br />

have contributed to her death, and ultimately to the haunting details of a young love that just may hide the secret<br />

of Jane Doe 9’s terrible fate.<br />

ADLER-OLSEN, JUSSI<br />

In The Keeper of Lost Causes, Jussi Adler-Olsen introduced Detective Carl Mørck, a deeply flawed, brilliant<br />

detective newly assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen’s coldest cases. Mørck is satisfied with<br />

the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So he’s naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A<br />

brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects—part of a group of<br />

privileged boarding-school students—confessed and was convicted. But once Mørck reopens the files, it<br />

becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a<br />

woman living on the streets, stealing to survive. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they aren’t<br />

the only ones looking for her. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep<br />

buried . . . as well as one of her own that could turn everything on its head.<br />

BANVILLE, JOHN<br />

Is there any difference between memory and invention? That is the question that fuels this stunning novel,<br />

written with the depth of character, the clarifying lyricism, and the heart-wrenching humor that have marked all of<br />

John Banville's extraordinary works. And it is the question that haunts Alexander Cleave as he plumbs the<br />

memories of his first—and perhaps only—love (he, just fifteen, the woman more than twice his age, the mother<br />

of his best friend; the situation impossible, thrilling, devouring, and finally devastating) . . . and of his daughter,<br />

lost to a kind of madness of mind and heart that Cleave can only fail to understand. When his stunted acting<br />

career is suddenly, inexplicably revived with a movie role portraying a man who may not be who he says he is,<br />

his young leading lady—famous and fragile—unwittingly gives him the opportunity to see with aching clarity the<br />

"chasm that yawns between the doing of a thing and the recollection of what was done."<br />

MACOMBER, DEBBIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is never done, especially during a time as wondrous as<br />

New Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New<br />

York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides<br />

midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after<br />

bumping into each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. They immediately hit it<br />

off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as<br />

quickly as they’re brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to<br />

reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the head chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful<br />

columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two have not forgotten their one<br />

serendipitous evening—and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the<br />

angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief.<br />

lead to moral dilemmas. How grave is sexual betrayal? Who is behind the bale of marijuana that washes up on<br />

ANOTHER SUN<br />

WILLIAMS, TIMOTHY<br />

On a plantation in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, a man's body is found in a pond, riddled with bullets. The<br />

victim is Monsieur Calais, a wealthy land-owner. Within twenty-four hours, a suspect is arrested. He had been<br />

making death threats against Calais, claiming that land had been stolen from him, and the gun used to shoot<br />

Calais was found buried on his property. This, coupled with the fact that the man had just returned from a fortyyear<br />

exile in French Guyana for murdering his wife, is enough to convince the gendarmes of his guilt. Anne<br />

Marie Laveaud, a French-born judge who has recently been transferred to Guadeloupe, is called in to make a<br />

ruling. With a keen sense of compassion for the accused, she must navigate the world of Caribbean justice—<br />

very different from what she was used to in France—to confirm her suspicion that all is not as it seems.<br />

THE APPLE HOUSE<br />

CAMPBELL, GILLIAN<br />

Anglophone Imogene Jackson grew up in an English suburb on the uneasy edge of a francophone world. At the<br />

age of nineteen she quit college to marry a shoemaker from the close-knit French village of Saint-Ange-du-Lac.<br />

For ten years she has lived with her husband, Thomas, above his family's historic shoe shop, immersed in<br />

village life. When Thomas dies in a car accident, she is shattered and her hard-won mastery of the French<br />

language deserts her. Isolated and grief-stricken, she retreats to her childhood home. There she discovers that a<br />

DONOGHUE, EMMA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Goldminer. Counterfeiter. Slave. Dishwasher. Prostitute. Attorney. Sculptor. Mercenary. Elephant. Corpse. The<br />

colourful, fascinating characters that roam the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray: they are<br />

emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex and<br />

sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress. With rich detail, the celebrated author of Room<br />

takes us from puritan Massachusetts to the Yukon gold rush, antebellum Louisiana to a 1960s Toronto highway.<br />

Astray offers us a surprising and moving history for restless times.<br />

Rome, summer 66AD and Nero's agents mercilessly hunt down the last survivors of the Piso Conspiracy. Yet,<br />

despite purging this viper's nest with fire and iron, the increasingly unstable young Emperor feels his grip on<br />

power weakening. In Judaea, rebels have bested his army and taken an eagle, in Germania, the Rhenus legions<br />

Rome's greatest general, Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, presides over an Empire within an Empire. Is Corbulo<br />

preparing to march against Rome and take the purple? Gaius Valerius Verrens, Hero of Rome, is ordered to<br />

Antioch with the power of life and death over the soldier he worships. There he finds every man's hand against<br />

him and Corbulo's eyes not on Rome, but on a new threat from the Parthian King of Kings, Vologases.<br />

Outnumbered, Corbulo marches with Valerius at his side into the barren wastes beyond the Tigris, to meet<br />

Vologases in a mighty confrontation that will decide the future of the Empire.<br />

DOIG, IVAN<br />

Tom Harry has a streak of frost in his black pompadour and a venerable bar called The Medicine Lodge, the<br />

chief watering hole and last refuge of the town of Gros Ventre, in northern Montana. Tom also has a son named<br />

Rusty, an “accident between the sheets” whose mother deserted them both years ago.The pair make an odd<br />

kind of family, with the bar their true home, but they manage just fine. Until the summer of 1960, that is, when<br />

Rusty turns twelve. Change arrives with gale force, in the person of Proxy, a taxi dancer Tom knew back<br />

when, and her beatnik daughter, Francine. Is Francine, as Proxy claims, the unsuspected legacy of her<br />

and Tom’s past? Without a doubt she is an unsettling gust of the future, upending every certainty in Rusty’s life<br />

and generating a mist of passion and pretense that seems to obscure everyone’s vision but his own. As Rusty<br />

struggles to decipher the oddities of adult behavior and the mysteries build toward a reckoning, Ivan Doig<br />

wonderfully captures how the world becomes bigger and the past becomes more complex in the last moments of<br />

childhood.<br />

THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY<br />

PENNY, LOUISE<br />

No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness<br />

of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend<br />

chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the<br />

monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer<br />

and listener is so profound it is known as “the beautiful mystery.” But when the renowned choir director is<br />

murdered, the lock on the monastery’s massive wooden door is drawn back to admit Chief Inspector Armand<br />

Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir of the Sûreté du Québec. There they discover disquiet beneath the silence,<br />

discord in the apparent harmony. One of the brothers, in this life of prayer and contemplation, has been<br />

contemplating murder. As the peace of the monastery crumbles, Gamache is forced to confront some of his own<br />

demons, as well as those roaming the remote corridors.<br />

Valentina DeLuca has made hundreds of brides' dreams come true. At Sposa Rosa, the Astoria, New York,<br />

boutique where she, her sisters, and their mother design and sew couture knock-off gowns, she can find the<br />

perfect style for even the most demanding customer. Now, it's her turn. Valentina has loved Michael Carello ever<br />

since he rescued her from a cranky shopkeeper when she was ten years old. He's handsome, chivalrous, and<br />

loyal. And in a few weeks, she's going to marry him--in Venice. But just when she thinks everything is falling into<br />

place, Valentina is forced to re-examine her life to see what truly makes her happy. And as she soon learns, in a<br />

place as magical as Venice, what seems like misfortune can turn out to be anything but, although who knows<br />

what may be waiting around the next corner? The chance to enjoy a moonlit gondola ride, to sip Prosecco in St.<br />

Mark's Square, to eat mouthwatering gelato, to put aside "sensible" for once and see where the warm Italian<br />

breezes guide her as she visits all the sights she's dreamed of: The Doge's Palace, Il Rialto, the little islands of<br />

Murano and Burano. And maybe, along the way, to discover that bella fortuna--good luck--isn't what you're given,<br />

but what you make.<br />

Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Captain Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore<br />

Popham. Rumours that South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular unrest and of a treasure<br />

hoard of silver spur him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on the capital of the<br />

Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Buenos Aires. Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the<br />

British invasion force lands and wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the capital and the silver. But<br />

nothing is as simple as it seems in this region of the world: the uprising that will see the end of Spanish rule<br />

never arrives and the locals begin to see dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Soon the tiny British<br />

force finds itself surrounded by an ever more hostile population. The city begins to revolt against its liberators.<br />

Now Kydd's men must face fierce resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they save themselves,<br />

and their prize?<br />

young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed<br />

off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was<br />

not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator<br />

combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of<br />

evidence that will pull the case together.<br />

look into possible problems left by a junior trader who died recently in an accident. What he discovers is big –<br />

there are problems, all right, the kind that get you killed. But it’s not his only concern. Stafford has another quest<br />

as well: to reclaim his five-year-old son, “the Kid,” from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to<br />

make a life with him. The things Stafford discovers about himself in the process are every bit as gripping as his<br />

investigation, and when the two threads of his life come together – the results are unforgettable.<br />

BLACK HOUSE<br />

KING, STEPHEN & STRAUB, PETER<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his<br />

mother and her “Twinner” from an agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now<br />

Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, Wisconsin.<br />

He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories, and he was compelled to leave the police force when<br />

a happenstance event threatened to awaken those long suppressed and dangerous memories. When a series of<br />

gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier,<br />

Jack’s buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help find the killer. But are these new killings merely the work<br />

of a disturbed individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What<br />

causes Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams—if that is what they are—of robins’ eggs and red feathers? As these<br />

cryptic messages becomes impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden<br />

past.<br />

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO THIRST<br />

HOLT, ANNE<br />

It is only the beginning of May but to Norwegians, the unseasonable heat already feels tropical when criminal<br />

investigating officer Hanne Wilhelmsen is sent to a macabre crime scene on the outskirts of Oslo: an abandoned<br />

shed that is covered in blood. On one wall is an eight-digit number written in blood. There is no sign of a victim—<br />

is it just a kid’s prank, or foul play? Is it even human blood? Hanne has a bad feeling about the numbers, but<br />

without further evidence, she can do nothing. As more bloody numbers are found throughout Oslo, Hanne’s<br />

colleague Hakon Sand discovers that the eight-digit number corresponds to the filing number of foreign<br />

immigrants waiting to be granted Norwegian citizenship—all female, all missing. When a dead body is finally<br />

unearthed, Hanne and HÅkon fear they have a serial killer on their hands. Meanwhile, an unsolved rape case<br />

appears to be connected to the murders and Hanne and Hakon must race to find the killer.<br />

Crispin Guest, returning home after a late night, sees a body hurtling from the uppermost reaches of the London<br />

Bridge. Guest's attempted rescue fails, however, and the man—an armourer with a shop on the bridge—is<br />

dead. While whispers in the street claim that it was a suicide, Guest—known in certain London circles as The<br />

Tracker for his skill in solving puzzles—is unconvinced. What Guest uncovers is that the armourer had promised<br />

Sir Thomas Saunfayl, a friend from Guest's former life, that he would provide him something that would make<br />

him unbeatable in battle, something for which he'd paid a small fortune. Sir Thomas believes that the item was in<br />

fact the Spear of Longinus - the spear that pierced the side of Christ on the cross—which is believed to make<br />

those who possess it invincible.<br />

Elizabeth Barber is crossing the Atlantic by liner with her perfectly adequate boyfriend, Derek, who might be<br />

planning to propose. In fleeing the UK Elizabeth may also be in flight from her past and the charismatic Arthur,<br />

once her partner in what she came to see as a series of crimes. Together they acted as fake mediums,<br />

perfecting the arcane skills practiced by effective frauds. Elizabeth finally rejected what once seemed an<br />

intoxicating game. Arthur continued his search for the right way to do wrong. He now subsidizes free closure for<br />

the traumatized and dispossessed by preying on the super-rich. The pair still meet occasionally, for weekends of<br />

sexual oblivion, but their affection lacerates as much as it consoles. Elizabeth hadn’t, however, expected the<br />

other man on the boat. As her voyage progresses, Elizabeth’s past is revealed, and codes slowly form and break<br />

as communication deepens. It’s time for her to discover who are the true deceivers and who are the truly<br />

deceived.<br />

NAWAZ, SALEEMA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Beena and Sadhana are sisters who share a bond that could only have been shaped by the most unusual of<br />

childhoods and by shared tragedy. Orphaned as teenagers, they have grown up under the exasperated watch of<br />

their Sikh uncle, who runs a bagel shop in Montreal’s Hasidic community of Mile End. Together, they try to make<br />

sense of the rich, confusing brew of values, rituals, and beliefs that form their inheritance. Yet as they grow<br />

towards adulthood, their paths begin to diverge. Beena catches the attention of one of the "bagel boys" and finds<br />

herself pregnant at sixteen, while Sadhana drives herself to perfectionism and anorexia. When we first meet the<br />

adult Beena, she is grappling with a fresh grief: Sadhana has died suddenly and strangely, her body lying<br />

undiscovered for a week before anyone realizes what has happened. Beena is left with a burden of guilt and an<br />

unsettled feeling about the circumstances of her sister’s death, which she sets about to uncover. Her search stirs<br />

memories and opens wounds, threatening to undo the safe, orderly existence she has painstakingly created for<br />

herself and her son.<br />

THE BONE THIEF<br />

WHITWORTH, V.M.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Edward, son of Alfred the Great, has inherited the Kingdom of Wessex and achieved a precarious set of<br />

alliances through marriage and military conquest. But the alliance is uneasy and the kingdom of Mercia has<br />

more reason than most to fear the might of Wessex. Their Lord is elderly and perhaps mortally sick, and his wife<br />

fears that she does not have the power to withstand hostile takeover. She also knows too well what her<br />

neighbour is capable of -- after all, King Edward is her brother. The chance to rescue St Oswald's bones,<br />

beloved patron saint, to consecrate her new church and unite the people behind her, is too good an opportunity<br />

to miss. But they are rumoured to be buried a long way north -- outside Lincoln, deep in hostile territory. Her<br />

secretary, Wulfgar, groomed for the priesthood since he was a boy in the elegant cloisters of Winchester<br />

cathedral but naïve in the ways of the wider world -- is surprised to be sent on this mission. It will prove an<br />

incredibly dangerous journey, requiring resources and courage Wulfgar did not know he had, and support from<br />

surprising allies along the way including a maverick priest and a Viking adventuress whose loyalties are far from<br />

clear.<br />

Building Stories imagines the inhabitants of a three-story Chicago apartment building: a 30-something woman<br />

who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple, possibly married, who wonder if<br />

they can bear each other's company another minute; and the building's landlady, an elderly woman who has<br />

lived alone for decades. Taking advantage of the absolute latest advances in wood pulp technology, Building<br />

Stories is a book with no deliberate beginning nor end, the scope, ambition, artistry and emotional prevarication<br />

beyond anything yet seen from this artist or in this medium, probably for good reason.<br />

raised flags of hands. Fly is a wanderer. Raised in the circus, the son of a golden-haired trapeze artist and a<br />

flying-carpet man from the East, he was born to wander, to watch, and to know. From the seat of his taxi we see<br />

the world in all of its carnivalesque beauty and ugliness. We meet criminals, prostitutes, madmen, magicians,<br />

and clowns of many kinds. We meet ordinary people going to extraordinary places, and revolutionaries just trying<br />

to find something to eat. Hunger and injustice claw at the city, and books provide the only true shelter. And when<br />

the Carnival starts, all limits dissolve, and a gunshot goes off... By the author of Cockroach.<br />

CAST IN PERIL<br />

SAGARA, MICHELLE<br />

It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with<br />

the last living female Dragon and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg<br />

she'd been given was ready to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from<br />

the bomb that went off in her quarters.... So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the<br />

West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris-disappearances<br />

traced to the very Barrani Kaylin will be traveling with...<br />

THE CASUAL VACANCY<br />

ROWLING, J.K.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford<br />

is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the<br />

pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their<br />

husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry<br />

on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in<br />

an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and<br />

constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.<br />

HARRIS, JOANNE<br />

Conjured from a wickedly imaginative pen, here is a new collection of short stories that showcases Joanne<br />

Harris's exceptional storytelling art. Sensuous, wicked, mischievous, uproarious and wry, here are tales that<br />

combine the everyday with the unexpected; wild fantasy with bittersweet reality. From the house where it is<br />

Christmas all year round, to a ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; from the Congo where a young girl braves<br />

the raging rapids to earn a crust of bread, to Norse gods battling for survival in Manhattan; and a newborn baby<br />

created with sugar, spice and lashings of cake, these stories will ensnare and delight you with their variety and<br />

A CHRISTMAS GARLAND<br />

PERRY, ANNE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The year is 1857, soon after the tragic Siege of Cawnpore. In the British garrison, a guard is killed and an Indian<br />

prisoner escapes, which leads to yet more British deaths. Cries for revenge are overwhelming. Despite no<br />

witnesses and no evidence against him, a luckless British medical orderly named John Tallis is arrested as an<br />

accomplice simply because he was the only soldier unaccounted for when these baffling crimes were committed.<br />

Though chosen to defend Tallis, young Lieutenant Victor Narraway is not encouraged to try very hard.<br />

Narraway’s superiors merely want a show trial. But inspired by a soldier’s widow and her children, and by his<br />

own stubborn faith in justice, Narraway searches for the truth. In an alien world haunted by memories of<br />

massacre, he is the accused man’s only hope.<br />

CITY OF SAINTS<br />

HUNT, ANDREW<br />

To the outside observer, Salt Lake City seems to be the squeaky-clean “City of Saints”—its nickname since<br />

Mormon pioneers first arrived. Its wide roads, huge Mormon temple topped by a horn-blowing angel, and orderly<br />

neighborhoods give it the appearance of the ideal American city. But looks can be deceiving. When beautiful<br />

socialite Helen Kent Pfalzgraf turns up dead, Salt Lake County Deputy Art Oveson—a twenty-something<br />

husband, dad, and devout Mormon just getting his start—finds himself thrust into the role of detective. With his<br />

partner, a foul-mouthed, vice-ridden former strikebreaker, he begins to pursue Pfalzgraf’s murderer—or<br />

murderers. Their search takes them into the dark underbelly of Salt Lake City, a place rife with blackmail,<br />

corruption and murder.<br />

CITY OF WOMEN<br />

GILHAM, DAVID R.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

It is 1943—the height of the Second World War. With the men taken by the army, Berlin has become a city of<br />

women. And while her husband fights on the Eastern Front, Sigrid Schröder is, for all intents and purposes, the<br />

model soldier’s wife: She goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares<br />

for her meddling mother-in-law, all the while ignoring the horrific immoralities of the regime. But behind this<br />

façade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former Jewish lover, who is now lost in the<br />

chaos of the war. Sigrid’s tedious existence is turned upside down when she finds herself hiding a mother and<br />

her two young daughters—whom she believes might be her lover’s family—and she must make terrifying<br />

choices that could cost her everything.<br />

CLOCKWORK ANGELS<br />

ANDERSON, KEVIN J.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel<br />

represents an artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson and the<br />

multiplatinum rock band Rush. The newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart’s<br />

lyrics that has been expanded by him and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young man’s quest to follow his<br />

dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful<br />

world of steampunk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker<br />

who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life. The mind-bending story is complemented with rich paintings<br />

by the five-time Juno Award winner for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme.<br />

separated in the years before World War II when Annie befriended a wealthy, barren couple and fell victim to a<br />

merciless plot just as German troops arrive in Paris. But also awaiting Camille's discovery is the other side of the<br />

story, which will call into question Annie's innocence and reveal the devastating consequences of jealousy and<br />

revenge. As Camille reads on, she begins to realize that her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story.<br />

YOUNG, WILLIAM PAUL<br />

Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even<br />

though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU.<br />

He ''awakens'' to find himself in a surreal world, a ''living'' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life,<br />

from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections<br />

of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to<br />

authenticity and perhaps, redemption. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life<br />

and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage<br />

to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?<br />

home, only to end up on the ground, cursing, surrounded by broken glass. Her voice is somewhere between<br />

Phyllis Diller’s and Sylvia Plath’s: a hilariously desperate housewife with a taste for swearing and large glasses<br />

of red wine, who speaks to the frustrations of everyday life.<br />

CUTTING SEASON<br />

LOCKE, ATTICA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The American South in the twenty-first century. A plantation owned for generations by a rich family. So much<br />

history. And a dead body. Just after dawn, Caren walks the grounds of Belle Vie, the historic plantation house in<br />

Louisiana that she has managed for four years. Today she sees nothing unusual, apart from some ground that<br />

has been dug up by the fence bordering the sugar can fields. Assuming an animal has been out after dark, she<br />

asks the gardener to tidy it up. Not long afterwards, he calls her to say it's something else. Something terrible. A<br />

dead body. At a distance, she missed her. The girl, the dirt and the blood. Now she has police on site, an<br />

investigation in progress, and a member of staff no one can track down. And Caren keeps uncovering things she<br />

will wish she didn't know. As she's drawn into the dead girl's story, she makes shattering discoveries about the<br />

future of Belle Vie, the secrets of its past, and sees, more clearly than ever, that Belle Vie, its beauty, is not to be<br />

trusted. A magnificent, sweeping story of the south, "The Cutting Season" brings history face-to-face with<br />

modern America, where Obama is president, but some things will never change. Attica Locke once again<br />

provides an unblinking commentary on politics, race, the law, family and love, all within a thriller every bit as<br />

gripping and tragic as her first novel, "Black Water Rising".<br />

underbelly the case takes on a dark twist of the occult when the mysterious note seems to indicate a ritual killing<br />

with roots in the Crusades ...<br />

BENN, JAMES R.<br />

An American monsignor is found murdered at the foot of Death's Door, one of the five entrances to Saint Peter's<br />

Basilica. Wild Bill Donovan, head of the OSS, wants the killing investigated. The fact that the Vatican is neutral<br />

territory in German-occupied Rome is only one of the obstacles Billy must overcome. First is a harrowing<br />

journey, smuggled into Rome while avoiding the Gestapo and Allied bombs. Then he must navigate Vatican<br />

politics and personalities—some are pro-Allied, others pro-Nazi, and the rest steadfastly neutral—to learn the<br />

truth about the murdered monsignor. But that's not his only concern; just a short walk from the Vatican border is<br />

the infamous Regina Coeli prison, where Diana is being held. Can he dare a rescue, or will a failed attempt alert<br />

the Germans to his mission and risk an open violation of Vatican neutrality?<br />

ROBB, J.D.<br />

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few<br />

drinks . . .until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay<br />

dead. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing<br />

things—monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and<br />

paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons<br />

were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity—if not<br />

kill them outright. But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror—or why. And if Eve can’t figure it out<br />

fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne. . . .<br />

THE DEVIL IN SILVER<br />

LAVALLE, VICTOR<br />

Pepper is a rambunctious big man, minor-league troublemaker, working-class hero (in his own mind), and,<br />

suddenly, the surprised inmate of a budget-strapped mental institution in Queens, New York. He’s not mentally<br />

ill, but that doesn’t seem to matter. He is accused of a crime he can’t quite square with his memory. In the<br />

darkness of his room on his first night, he’s visited by a terrifying creature with the body of an old man and the<br />

head of a bison who nearly kills him before being hustled away by the hospital staff. It’s no delusion: The other<br />

patients confirm that a hungry devil roams the hallways when the sun goes down. Pepper rallies three other<br />

inmates in a plot to fight back: Dorry, an octogenarian schizophrenic who’s been on the ward for decades and<br />

knows all its secrets; Coffee, an African immigrant with severe OCD, who tries desperately to send alarms to the<br />

outside world; and Loochie, a bipolar teenage girl who acts as the group’s enforcer. Battling the pill-pushing staff,<br />

one another, and their own minds, they try to kill the monster that’s stalking them. But can the Devil die?<br />

HELLER, PETER<br />

Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar<br />

of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig<br />

flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and pretend that things are the way they<br />

used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep<br />

inside him that a better life—something like his old life—exists beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies<br />

past his point of no return—not enough fuel to get him home—following the trail of the static-broken voice on the<br />

radio. But what he encounters and what he must face—in the people he meets, and in himself—is both better<br />

and worse than anything he could have hoped for.<br />

After his pyrrhic victory at Moorview, King Emin learns the truth about the child Ruhen - but he is powerless to<br />

new age of peace. The past year has taken a grave toll: the remaining Menin troops seek revenge upon Emin,<br />

daemons freely walk the Land, and Ruhen's power is increasing daily. And yet, a glimmer of hope remains.<br />

There is one final, desperate chance for victory: a weapon, so terrible only a dead man could wield it, and only a<br />

madman would try. But if they do not grasp this opportunity, King Emin and his allies will be obliterated as<br />

Ruhen's millennia-old plans are about to bear terrible fruit. If his power continues unchecked, Ruhen will achieve<br />

total dominion - and not just over mankind, but over the Gods themselves. One way or another, the future of the<br />

Land will be decided now - written in the blood of men.<br />

A deeply affecting meditation on the lives of women artists, Whitney Otto's vivid novel explores the ambitions,<br />

passions, conflicts and desires of eight female photographers throughout the twentieth century. This spectacular<br />

cast of spirited, larger-than-life women offers wide-ranging insight about the times in which they lived. From San<br />

Francisco to New York, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Rome, Otto spins a magical, romantic tale that<br />

creates a compelling portrait of the history of feminism and of photography. While their circumstances may differ,<br />

the tensions these women experience—from wanting a private life or a public life; passion or security; art or<br />

domesticity; children or creative freedom—are universal. Otto seamlessly weaves together eight breathtaking<br />

vignettes to form a moving and emotionally satisfying novel.<br />

Christine, his ex, think the gift is too much. But when he swings by Chick’s apartment to return it he finds Chick<br />

Set in the present day in the rural community of Feathertown, Tennessee, Flight Behavior tells the story of<br />

Dellarobia Turnbow, a petite, razor-sharp 29-year-old who nurtured worldly ambitions before becoming pregnant<br />

and marrying at seventeen. Now, after more than a decade of tending to small children on a failing farm,<br />

headed for a secluded mountain cabin to meet this man and initiate what she expects will be a self-destructive<br />

the confines of one small house, Dellarobia finds her path suddenly opening out, chapter by chapter, into blunt<br />

and confrontational engagement with her family, her church, her town, her continent, and finally the world at<br />

large.<br />

The unrelenting cheer in Fool's Gold, California, is bringing out the humbug in dancer Evie Stryker. She learned<br />

early on that Christmas miracles don't happen, at least not for her. An injury has forced her to return to the family<br />

fold, no matter that they're estranged. She won't add to the awkward scenario by being seduced by the bad-boy<br />

charms of her brother's best friend, the last man she should ever want to date. Even when she's recruited to<br />

stage Fool's Gold's winter festival, she vows to do as promised, then move forward with her life anywhere but<br />

here. Jaded lawyer Dante Jefferson is getting used to the town he now calls home, but the pounding of little<br />

dancers' feet above his office is more than any man should have to take! When he confronts their gorgeous<br />

teacher, he's unprepared for the attraction. Evie is his best friend's sister-off-limits unless he's willing to risk his<br />

heart. Dante has always believed that love is the most dangerous force in the universe, but that was before he<br />

had to reckon with the magic of a certain small town, where miracles do seem to happen....<br />

a couple months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep<br />

convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to force herself to rise above. Or at least get dressed. She<br />

quickly realizes something is amiss when everyone the woman knows swears she’s insane. The more they<br />

several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are<br />

other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley<br />

is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved. Just when life was<br />

returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment, and the devil in blue jeans.<br />

GARDEN OF EVENING MISTS<br />

ENG, TAN TWAN<br />

It's Malaya, 1949. After studying law at Cambridge and time spent helping to prosecute Japanese war criminals,<br />

Yun Ling Teoh, herself the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the<br />

jungle fringed plantations of Northern Malaya where she grew up as a child. There she discovers Yugiri, the only<br />

Japanese garden in Malaya, and its owner and creator, the enigmatic Aritomo, exiled former gardener of the<br />

Emperor of Japan. Despite her hatred of the Japanese, Yun Ling seeks to engage Aritomo to create a garden in<br />

Kuala Lumpur, in memory of her sister who died in the camp. Aritomo refuses, but agrees to accept Yun Ling as<br />

his apprentice 'until the monsoon comes'. Then she can design a garden for herself. As the months pass, Yun<br />

Ling finds herself intimately drawn to her sensei and his art while, outside the garden, the threat of murder and<br />

kidnapping from the guerrillas of the jungle hinterland increases with each passing day. But the Garden of<br />

Evening Mists is also a place of mystery. Who is Aritomo and how did he come to leave Japan? Why is it that<br />

Yun Ling's friend and host Magnus Praetorius, seems immune from the depredations of the Communists? What<br />

is the legend of 'Yamashita's Gold' and does it have any basis in fact? And is the real story of how Yun Ling<br />

managed to survive the war perhaps the darkest secret of all?<br />

KING, LAURIE R.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In a strange room in Morocco, Mary Russell is trying to solve a pressing mystery: Who am I? She has awakened<br />

with shadows in her mind, blood on her hands, and soldiers pounding on the door. Out in the hivelike streets,<br />

she discovers herself strangely adept in the skills of the underworld, escaping through alleys and rooftops,<br />

picking pockets and locks. She is clothed like a man, and armed only with her wits and a scrap of paper<br />

containing a mysterious Arabic phrase. Overhead, warplanes pass ominously north. Meanwhile, Holmes is<br />

pulled by two old friends and a distant relation into the growing war between France, Spain, and the Rif Revolt<br />

led by Emir Abd el-Krim—who may be a Robin Hood or a power mad tribesman. The shadows of war are<br />

drawing over the ancient city of Fez, and Holmes badly wants the wisdom and courage of his wife, whom he’s<br />

learned, to his horror, has gone missing. As Holmes searches for her, and Russell searches for herself, each<br />

tries to crack deadly parallel puzzles before it’s too late for them, for Africa, and for the peace of Europe.<br />

THE GENERAL'S MISTRESS<br />

GRAHAM, JO<br />

Elza believed her Dutch husband would be her handsome prince, with whom she’d live happily ever after. But he<br />

soon turned cold, dismissive, and scornful, more interested in politics than Elza. When he grows violent, she<br />

leaves everything and runs away to post-revolutionary Paris, where she finds herself in need of a protector. Elza<br />

makes a deal with a commander in the French army: in exchange for his defense against her husband, she will<br />

become his mistress. So begins a sensual journey that leads from the decadent salons of Paris to the Italian<br />

coast to the bed of General Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Elza finds that she has a survivor’s instincts, a<br />

THE GIVING QUILT<br />

CHIAVERINI, JENNIFER<br />

At Elm Creek Manor, the week after Thanksgiving is “Quiltsgiving,” a time to commence a season of generosity.<br />

From near and far, quilters and aspiring quilters—a librarian, a teacher, a college student, and a quilt-shop clerk<br />

among them—gather for a special winter session of quilt camp, to make quilts for Project Linus. (In real life,<br />

Chiaverini has long been active in this charitable organization, dedicated to providing handmade quilts and<br />

blankets to children in need.) Each quilter, ever mindful that many of her neighbors, friends, and family members<br />

are struggling through difficult times, uses her creative gifts to alleviate their collective burden. As the week<br />

unfolds, the quilters respond to Sylvia’s provocative question in ways as varied as the life experiences that drew<br />

them to Elm Creek Manor.<br />

A HALF FORGOTTEN SONG<br />

WEBB, KATHERINE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

England, 1937. In the village of Blacknowle on the Dorset coast, fourteen-year-old Mitzy Hatcher has endured a<br />

wild and lonely upbringing. Shunned by her neighbours, the arrival of renowned artist Charles Aubrey, along with<br />

his exotic mistress and their daughters, is like a breath of fresh air. As Charles's muse, Mitzy develops a deep<br />

and abiding bond with the Aubrey household over the course of the following three summers. Gradually, Mitzy<br />

begins to perceive a future she had never thought possible, and a powerful love is kindled in her. A love that will<br />

grow as she does: from innocence to obsession; from childish infatuation to something far more complex. It will<br />

be almost seventy-five years before the consequences of this potent desire are fully played out, as a young man<br />

in an art gallery looks at a hastily-drawn portrait and wonders at the intensity of it. The questions he asks will<br />

lead him back to Blacknowle, and draw him to the truth about those fevered summers in the 1930s. Moving from<br />

the wilds of the Dorset coast to the intoxicating heat of a Moroccan summer, A Half Forgotten Song explores the<br />

quixotic nature of memory - and the perils of obsessive love.<br />

for the freedom of three Palestinian prisoners. As his days of waiting commence, Shaltiel resorts to what he does<br />

best, telling stories to himself and to the men who hold his fate in their hands. A Communist brother, a childhood<br />

spent hiding from the Nazis in a cellar, the kindness of liberating Russian soldiers, the unrest of the 1960s--these<br />

are the memories that unfold in Shaltiel's captivity, as the outside world breathlessly follows his disappearance<br />

and the police move toward a final confrontation with his captors.<br />

THE HUNGRY GHOSTS<br />

SELVADURAI, SHYAM<br />

In Sri Lankan myth, a person who dies may be reborn a "hungry ghost"--a ghost with a large stomach that can<br />

never be filled through its tiny mouth--if they have desired too much during their life. It is the duty of the living to<br />

free the dead who are doomed to this fate by transferring karma from their own good deeds. Shivan, a troubled<br />

young man of mixed Tamil and Sinhalese ancestry, is preparing to travel from Toronto to Sri Lanka, to rescue his<br />

ailing grandmother and bring her back to die. But on the eve of his departure, as Shivan meditates on his past,<br />

recalls his gradual discovery of his homosexuality, and wrestles with his complicated relationship with the wily<br />

old woman, he discovers just how much his own desires are entwined with the political, racial and sexual mix of<br />

Sri Lanka's past and present. In the end, he must decide: will he rescue his grandmother, or join her?<br />

IMMORTAL<br />

CRAWFORD, DEAN<br />

In the spine-chilling tradition of Michael Crichton and James Rollins, the second Ethan Warner thriller is an<br />

action-packed blockbuster that combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation.County coroner Lillian<br />

Cruz makes a surprising discovery while carrying out an autopsy on a body recently brought into the local Santa<br />

Fe morgue. Lodged in the dead man's thigh bone is a bullet, which carbon dating proves was fired during the<br />

Civil War. But before she can notify the authorities, Cruz disappears. The Defense Intelligence Agency calls in<br />

former war correspondent Ethan Warner and his partner, Nicola Lopez, to discreetly investigate the<br />

disappearance. And very quickly, a relatively simple case turns into something much more sinister. With each<br />

new lead they uncover, Warner and Lopez are inadvertently bringing a warped and dangerous individual closer<br />

to achieving a catastrophic goal: immortality. High-concept, fast-paced, and masterfully executed, Immortal<br />

confirms Dean Crawford as a brilliantly ambitious new thriller writer.<br />

business. Warm-hearted, wise and very funny, The Importance of Being Seven brings us a fresh and delightful<br />

MACOMBER, DEBBIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. Coping with the death of<br />

her husband, she purchases a local bed-and-breakfast—the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn—ready to begin<br />

her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine. Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who<br />

has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope<br />

that they can reconcile their differences. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua’s high school days proves to<br />

him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom even where it’s least expected. The other guest<br />

is Abby Kincaid, who has returned to Cedar Cove to attend her brother’s wedding. Back for the first time in<br />

twenty years, she almost wishes she hadn’t come, the picturesque town harboring painful memories from her<br />

past. And while Abby reconnects with family and old friends, she realizes she can only move on if she truly<br />

allows herself to let go.<br />

AN IRISH COUNTRY WEDDING<br />

TAYLOR, PATRICK<br />

Love is in the air in the colourful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo, where Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly has finally<br />

proposed to the darling of his youth, Kitty O’Hallorhan. There’s a wedding to be planned, but before O’Reilly can<br />

make it to the altar, he and his young colleague, Barry Laverty, M.B., must deal with the usual round of eccentric<br />

patients—and crises both large and small. Being a G.P. in a place like Ballybucklebo often means more than<br />

simply splinting broken bones and tending to aches and pains. It can also mean helping a struggling young<br />

couple acquire their first home, clearing the name of a cat accused of preying on a neighbor’s prize pigeons, and<br />

encouraging a bright working-class girl who dreams of someday becoming a doctor herself. And, if you’re Barry<br />

Laverty, still smarting from a painful breakup, there might even be a chance for a new romance with a lovely<br />

school teacher, if her passionate political convictions don’t get in the way.<br />

JENNIFER JOHNSON IS SICK OF BEING MARRIED<br />

MCELHATTON, HEATHER<br />

Jennifer Johnson is your average American woman…who just so happened to marry the handsome wealthy son<br />

of a Midwest department store magnate. Not too long ago she was stuck in a cubicle, love-lorn and addicted to<br />

Cinnabon frosting, now she has her Prince Charming and all she could have dreamed of. But as the wedding<br />

bells fade, Jennifer quickly learns that the grass on this too-manicured other side is not as green as she thought.<br />

After a honeymoon from hell at a gated Christian Resort in the Virgin Islands—bought and paid for by the in-laws<br />

and complete with alcohol-free drinks, curfews and joy-ga (satan-free yoga)—Jennifer finds herself in all too<br />

bizarre new life. Soon she’s organizing Valentine’s Day Abstinence dances with her mother-in-law’s church<br />

committee, sewing “size 4” tags into all of her clothing because she can’t possibly reveal the truth to her<br />

husband, and dining with a Trophy Wives club with their own theories about how to hold on the their men. There<br />

must be more to life than this?<br />

THE JEWELS OF PARADISE<br />

LEON, DONNA<br />

Caterina Pellegrini is a native Venetian, and like so many of them, she’s had to leave home to pursue her career.<br />

With a doctorate in baroque opera from Vienna, she lands in Manchester, England. Manchester, however, is no<br />

Venice. When Caterina gets word of a position back home, she jumps at the opportunity. The job is an unusual<br />

one. After nearly three centuries, two locked trunks, believed to contain the papers of a baroque composer have<br />

been discovered. Deeply-connected in religious and political circles, the composer died childless; now two<br />

Venetians, descendants of his cousins, each claim inheritance. Caterina’s job is to examine any enclosed papers<br />

to discover the “testamentary disposition” of the composer. But when her research takes her in unexpected<br />

directions she begins to wonder just what secrets these trunks may hold. From a masterful writer, The Jewels of<br />

Paradise is a superb novel, a gripping tale of intrigue, music, history and greed.<br />

THE JOY BRIGADE<br />

LIMON, MARTIN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Seoul, early 1970s: US Army Sergeant George Sueño is on a mission of extreme importance to the South<br />

Korean government, as well as the US Army. Kim Il-Sung has vowed to reunite North and South Korea into one<br />

country before he hands control of the government over to his son, which means North Korea is planning to<br />

cross the DMZ and overpower the American-allied South Korean government. Sueño's mission is to prevent this<br />

by sneaking into North Korea and obtaining an ancient map detailing the network of secret tunnels that run<br />

underneath the DMZ. To do so, he will have to go undercover and infiltrate the North Korean Communist inner<br />

sanctum. Aware of the often dubious nature of the US Military's tactics, Sueño is skeptical about his assignment.<br />

But he has other things on his mind. The keeper of the map is Doc Yong, a former lover of Sueño's who was<br />

forced to flee South Korea the year before—and she has a son. Before they can be happily reunited, the plan<br />

falls to pieces, and Sueño is captured. Can he rely on the enigmatic Hero Kang, his sole contact in the hostile<br />

country? Will the lovely Rhee Mi-Sook, the leader of the North Korean secret police, be too much to handle? And<br />

who are the mysterious group of women known as the Joy Brigade?<br />

somehow? One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins, teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins, the<br />

days, she begins to recover enough to believe that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job.<br />

LAST TO DIE<br />

GERRITSEN, TESS<br />

For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped<br />

when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at fourteen, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone<br />

survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn<br />

—until the Boston PD puts detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. But no sooner does her investigation begin than<br />

Teddy’s life almost ends . . . again. Suddenly, what seemed like a grisly coincidence is unmasked as the mission<br />

of a relentless killer. Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young<br />

victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked<br />

gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong’s mysterious<br />

benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found dangling from a tree,<br />

Jane knows that her instincts are dead on. And when she meets Will Kennedy and Claire Ward, students whose<br />

tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more<br />

than one victim in mind.<br />

THE LAWGIVER<br />

WOUK, HERMAN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

For more than fifty years, legendary author Herman Wouk has dreamed of writing a novel about the life of<br />

Moses. Finally, at age ninety-six, he has found an ingeniously witty way to tell the tale in The Lawgiver, a<br />

romantic and suspenseful epistolary novel about a group of people trying to make a movie about Moses in the<br />

present day. The story emerges from letters, memos, emails, journals, news articles, recorded talk, tweets,<br />

Skype transcripts, and text messages. At the center of The Lawgiver is Margo Solovei, a brilliant young writerdirector<br />

who has rejected her rabbinical father’s strict Jewish upbringing to pursue a career in the arts. When an<br />

Australian multi-billionaire promises to finance a movie about Moses if the script meets certain standards, Margo<br />

does everything she can to land the job, including a reunion with her estranged first love, an influential lawyer<br />

with whom she still has unfinished business. Two other key characters in the novel are Herman Wouk himself<br />

and his wife of more than sixty years, Betty Sarah, who, almost against their will, find themselves entangled in<br />

the Moses movie when the Australian billionaire insists on Wouk’s stamp of approval.<br />

McFadden makes a startling discovery. Strapped to the body of a dead man at the B&O Railroad station are two<br />

diaries, two documents that together reveal the true depth of the Lincoln conspiracy. Securing the diaries will put<br />

Temple’s life in jeopardy—and will endanger the fragile peace of a nation still torn by war. Temple’s quest to bring<br />

the conspirators to justice takes him on a perilous journey through the gaslit streets of the Civil War–era capital,<br />

into bawdy houses and back alleys where ruthless enemies await him in every shadowed corner. Aided by an<br />

underground network of friends—and by his wife, Fiona, a nurse who possesses a formidable arsenal of<br />

medicinal potions—Temple must stay one step ahead of Lafayette Baker, head of the Union Army’s spy service.<br />

Along the way, he’ll run from or rely on Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s fearsome secretary of war; the legendary<br />

Scottish spymaster Allan Pinkerton; abolitionist Sojourner Truth; the photographer Alexander Gardner; and many<br />

others.<br />

MCINERNEY, MONICA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Nestled in a picturesque corner of southern Australia, the Valley View Motel has been run by the Quinlans for<br />

years—and nobody adores the place more than Lola, the family’s lovable and mischievous Irish-born matriarch.<br />

So when she insists that her relatives spend their Christmas elsewhere, the close-knit bunch can’t help but be a<br />

bit curious. Lola has always had a knack for clever schemes; after all, she once slyly reunited her three feuding<br />

granddaughters, whom she nicknamed the Alphabet Sisters. And with the holiday season fast approaching, Lola<br />

decides it’s time to stir up some extra excitement. Plotting in secret and online, Lola thinks it would be fun to<br />

invite a select group of strangers to stay at the motel for Christmas. Will these guests become friends, ignite<br />

sparks, fall in love? As she counts down the days until their arrival, Lola’s own family dramas threaten to upend<br />

her best-laid plans. Yet amid moments of humor, heartache, and unexpected twists of fate, Lola finds that she’s<br />

the one who’s in for the biggest surprise of all.<br />

THE LOVESICK CURE<br />

MORSI, PAMELA<br />

What do you do when your groom gets cold feet and the hots for someone else? For Jesse Winsloe, the answer<br />

is clear: head into hiding. Instead of using her layoff at work to plan bridesmaid dresses and bouquets, Jesse<br />

flees to Onery Cabin to lick her wounds with her ancient aunt Will, a folk-remedy granny woman who knows the<br />

secret to caring for the lovelorn. Sure, Onery Cabin may be right out of Hollywood's Lifestyles of the Poor and<br />

Hillbilly, but Marrying Stone Mountain has its charm-including the local physician's assistant, Piney Baxley, a past<br />

recipient of Aunt Will's pungent "heartbreak poultice." Between Aunt Will's folk remedies and the spice of a "no<br />

strings attached" romance, Jess is beginning to think she's found her own brand of lovesick cure.<br />

LOW PRESSURE<br />

BROWN, SANDRA<br />

Bellamy Lyston was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day.<br />

Bellamy's fear of storms is a legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene along with her memory of<br />

what really happened during the day's most devastating moments. Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a<br />

sensational, bestselling novel based on Susan's murder. Because the book was inspired by the tragic event that<br />

still pains her family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect them from unwanted publicity. But when an<br />

opportunistic reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact, Bellamy's identity is<br />

exposed along with the family scandal. Moreover, Bellamy becomes the target of an unnamed assailant who<br />

either wants the truth about Susan's murder to remain unknown or, even more threatening, is determined to get<br />

vengeance for a man wrongfully accused and punished.<br />

LUMINOUS CHAOS<br />

VALTAT, JEAN-CHRISTOPHE<br />

It's 1907 in the icily beautiful New Venice, and the hero of the city's liberation, Brentford Orsini, has been<br />

deposed by his arch-rival -- who immediately assigns Brentford and his friends on a dangerous diplomatic<br />

mission to Paris. So, Brentford recruits his old friend and louche counterpart, Gabriel d'Allier, underground<br />

chanteuse and suffragette Lillian Lake, and the mysterious Blankbate--former Foreign Legionnaire and leader of<br />

the Scavengers, the city's garbage collecting cult--and others, for the mission. But their mode of transportation-the<br />

untested "transaerian psychomotive"--proves faulty and they find themselves transported back in time to<br />

Paris 1895 ... before New Venice even existed. What's more, it's a Paris experiencing an unprecedented and<br />

crushingly harsh winter. They soon find themselves involved with some of the city's seediest, most fascinating<br />

inhabitants. But between attending soirees at Mallarmé's house, drinking absinthe with Proust, trying to wrestle<br />

secrets out of mesmerists, and making fun of the newly-constructed Eiffel Tower, they also find that Paris is a city<br />

full of intrigue, suspicion, and danger. For example, are the anarchists they encounter who are plotting to bomb<br />

the still-under construction Sacre Coeur church also the future founders of New Venice? And why are they trying<br />

to kill them?<br />

freedom when he ran afoul of a powerful figure high in the Chinese government. Released unofficially from the<br />

Shan finds himself in the midst of a baffling series of events. During a ceremony meant to rededicate an ancient<br />

and long destroyed monastery, Shan stumbles across evidence of a recent murder in the ruins. Now Shan is<br />

being torn between some officials who want his help to search the ruins while others want him to disappear back<br />

into the mountains - with one group holding out the tantalizing prospect of once again seeing the son from whom<br />

Shan has been separated for many years.<br />

MEMOIRS OF AN IMAGINARY FRIEND<br />

DICKS, MATTHEW<br />

Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the<br />

world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max<br />

Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear. Max is different from other children.<br />

Some people say that he has Asperger’s Syndrome, but most just say he’s “on the spectrum.” None of this<br />

matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations<br />

in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can’t protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who<br />

works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy.<br />

When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to<br />

save him—and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max’s happiness or Budo's very existence.<br />

Robert Merivel, courtier to Charles II is no longer a young man -- but off he goes to France in search of the Sun<br />

King and to Switzerland in pursuit of a handsome woman. Versailles -- all glitter in front and squalor behind -- is<br />

a fiasco: Merivel is forced to share an attic (and a chamber pot) with a Dutch clock-maker while attempting to<br />

sustain himself on peas and jam and water from the fountains. Switzerland, by contrast, is perhaps a little too<br />

comfortable. But the lady, a clever botanist, leads Merivel deliciously on -- until her jealous husband bursts in<br />

with duelling pistols. As he narrates the picaresque journey, Merivel gets into all sorts of scrapes; he is torn<br />

between enjoying himself and making something of his life, through medicine and the study of science. He tries<br />

to be diligent, but constantly backslides into laugher and laziness. A big-hearted rogue who loves his daughter,<br />

his country house and the English King... Merivel is Everyman -- and he speaks directly to us down the<br />

with food--thinking about it, eating it--and if she doesn't stop, she won't have much longer to live. When Richard<br />

abandons his wife, it is up to the next generation to take control. Robin, their schoolteacher daughter, is<br />

determined that her father pay for leaving Edie. Benny, an easy-going, pot-smoking family man, just wants to<br />

smooth things over. And Rachelle-- a whippet thin perfectionist-- is intent on saving her mother-in-law's life, but<br />

this task proves even bigger than planning her twin children's spectacular b'nai mitzvah party. Through it all, they<br />

wonder: do Edie's devastating choices rest on her shoulders alone, or are others at fault, too?<br />

THE MIDWIFE OF HOPE RIVER<br />

HARMAN, PATRICIA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

As a midwife working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression, Patience Murphy’s<br />

only solace is her gift: the chance to escort mothers through the challanges of childbirth. Just beginning, she<br />

takes on the jobs no one else wants: those most in need—and least likely to pay. Patience is willing to do what it<br />

takes to fulfill her mentor’s wishes, but starting a midwife practice means gaining trust, and Patience’s secrets<br />

are too fragile to let anyone in. A stirring piece of Americana, The Midwife of Hope River beats with authenticity<br />

as Patience faces seemingly insurmountable conditions: disease, poverty, and prejudices threaten at every turn.<br />

From the dangerous mines of West Virginia to the terrifying attentions of the Klu Klux Klan, Patience must strive<br />

to bring new light, and life, into an otherwise cruel world.<br />

MISS DREAMSVILLE AND THE COLLIER COUNTY WOMEN'S LITERARY SOCIETY<br />

HEARTH, AMY HILL<br />

In 1962, Jackie Hart moved to Naples, Florida, from Boston with her husband and children. Wanting something<br />

personally fulfilling to do with her time, she starts a reading club and anonymously hosts a radio show, calling<br />

herself Miss Dreamsville. The racially segregated town falls in love with Miss Dreamsville, but doesn’t know what<br />

to make of Jackie, who welcomes everyone into her book club, including a woman who did prison time for<br />

allegedly killing her husband, a man of questionable sexual preference, a young divorcee, as well as a black<br />

woman. By the end of this novel, you’ll be wiping away the tears of laugher and sadness, and you just may<br />

become a bit more hopeful that even the most hateful people can see the light of humanitarianism, if they just<br />

give themselves a chance.<br />

MR. PENUMBRA'S 24-HOUR <strong>BOOKS</strong>TORE<br />

SLOAN, ROBIN<br />

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco web-design drone, and<br />

serendipity, sheer curiosity and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey have landed him a new gig working the<br />

night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that<br />

this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in<br />

repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead “checking out” impossibly obscure volumes from<br />

strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with gnomic Mr.<br />

Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he has embarked on a<br />

complex analysis of the customers’ behaviour and roped his friends into helping him figure out just what’s going<br />

on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the secrets extend far beyond the walls of<br />

the bookstore.<br />

MRS. QUEEN TAKES THE TRAIN<br />

KUHN, WILLIAM<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

After decades of service and years of watching her family’s troubles splashed across the tabloids, Queen<br />

Elizabeth needs some proper cheering up. An impromptu visit to the place that holds her happiest memories—<br />

the former royal yacht, Britannia, moored in Leith, Scotland—is just the cure she needs. Hidden beneath a skullemblazoned<br />

hoodie, the limber Elizabeth (thank goodness for yoga) walks out of Buckingham Palace, into the<br />

freedom of a rainy London day to catch the train to Scotland at King’s Cross. But an unlikely sextet of royal<br />

attendants—a lady-in-waiting, a butler, an equerry, a mistress of the Mews, a dresser, and a clerk from the shop<br />

that serves the queen’s cheese—join together to find their missing monarch and bring her back before her<br />

absence sets off a national scandal.<br />

MURDER IN MEMORIAM<br />

DANICKX, DIDIER<br />

On the evening of October 17, 1961 twenty-thousand Algerians marched in Paris in defiance of and in protest<br />

against a curfew imposed by Maurice Papon, chief of the Paris Metropolitan Police. The protesters were met<br />

with ferocious and uninhibited violence. Eleven-thousand were arrested; more than one thousand injured; as<br />

many as three hundred were killed, many of them thrown into the Seine, from which their bodies were later<br />

recovered. In recreating the scene of the atrocities in Murder in Memoriam, his controversial alarum first<br />

published in 1984, Didier Daeninckx introduces a fictional observer of the riot, Roger Thiraud, a middle-aged<br />

history teacher in a public school, only steps from his home and his waiting, pregnant wife. In the first few<br />

minutes of the demonstration, he will be assassinated, in cold blood, by a member of the anti-terrorist secret<br />

police.<br />

NANO<br />

COOK, ROBIN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

After a tumultuous year in which her mentor is murdered and her estranged father comes back into her life, Pia<br />

Grazdani, the embattled medical student from Death Benefit, decides to take a year off from her medical studies<br />

and escape New York City. Intrigued by the promise of the burgeoning field of medical technology and the<br />

chance to clear her head, Pia takes a job at Nanobots, a lavishly funded, security-conscious nanotechnology<br />

insititute in the picturesque foothills of the Rockies. Nanobots is ahead of the curve in the competitive world of<br />

molecular manufacturing, including the construction of microbivores, tiny nano-robots with the ability to gobble<br />

up viruses and bacteria. But the corporate campus is a place of secrets. She's warned by her boss not to<br />

investigate the other work being done at the gigantic facility, nor to ask questions about the source of the<br />

seemingly endless capital that funds the institute's research. And when Pia encounters a fellow employee on a<br />

corporate jogging path, suffering the effects of a seizure, she soon realizes she may have literally stumbled upon<br />

Nanobot's human guinea pigs. Is the tech giant on the cusp of one of the biggest medical discoveries of the<br />

twenty-first century—a treatment option for millions—or have they already sold out to the highest bidder?<br />

building filled almost exclusively with divorced men like him, and makes a living playing in wedding bands. His<br />

letting down. So when he learns that his heart requires emergency, lifesaving surgery, Silver makes the radical<br />

decision to refuse the operation, choosing instead to use what little time he has left to repair his relationship with<br />

Casey, become a better man, and live in the moment, even if that moment isn't destined to last very long. As his<br />

exasperated family looks on, Silver grapples with the ultimate question of whether or not his own life is worth<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Joe Gunther and his team at the Vermont Bureau of Investigation are alerted to a string of unrelated burglaries<br />

across Vermont. Someone, in addition to flatscreens, computers, and stereos, has also been stealing antiques<br />

and jewelry. Meanwhile, in Boston, an elderly woman surprises some thieves in her Beacon Hill home and is<br />

viciously murdered. The Boston police find that not only is the loot similar to what's being stolen in Vermont, but it<br />

may have the same destination. Word is out that someone powerful is purchasing these particular kinds of items<br />

in the “Paradise City” of Northampton, Mass. Gunther, the Boston Police, and the vengeful niece of the murdered<br />

old lady convene on Northampton, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery and find the "responsible parties"—<br />

although each is motivated to mete out some very different penalties.<br />

Welcome to the fractured future, at the dusk of the twenty-first century. Earth has a population of roughly a billion<br />

hominids. For the most part, they are happy with their lot, living in a preserve at the bottom of a gravity well.<br />

Those who are unhappy have emigrated, joining one or another of the swarming densethinker clades that fog<br />

the inner solar system with a dust of molecular machinery so thick that it obscures the sun. The splintery<br />

metaconsciousness of the solar-system has largely sworn off its pre-post-human cousins dirtside, but its minds<br />

sometimes wander…and when that happens, it casually spams Earth's networks with plans for cataclysmically<br />

disruptive technologies that emulsify whole industries, cultures, and spiritual systems. A sane species would<br />

ignore these get-evolved-quick schemes, but there's always someone who'll take a bite from the forbidden apple.<br />

So until the overminds bore of stirring Earth's anthill, there's Tech Jury Service: random humans, selected<br />

arbitrarily, charged with assessing dozens of new inventions and ruling on whether to let them loose. Young Huw,<br />

a misanthropic Welshman, has been selected for the latest jury, a task he does his best to perform despite an<br />

itchy technovirus, the apathy of the proletariat, and a couple of truly awful moments on bathroom floors.<br />

RED RAIN<br />

STINE, R.L.<br />

Travel writer Lea Sutter finds herself on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, the wrong place at the<br />

wrong time. A merciless, unanticipated hurricane cuts a path of destruction and Lea barely escapes with her life.<br />

In the storm’s aftermath, she discovers orphaned twin boys and impulsively decides to adopt them. The boys,<br />

Samuel and Daniel, seem amiable and immensely grateful; Lea’s family back on Long Island—husband Mark<br />

and their two children, Ira and Elena—aren’t quite so pleased. But even they can’t anticipate the twins’ true<br />

nature—or predict that, within a few weeks’ time, Mark will wind up implicated in two brutal murders ...<br />

ROBERT B. PARKER'S FOOL ME TWICE<br />

BRANDMAN, MICHAEL<br />

Summer in Paradise, Massachusetts, is usually an idyllic season?—but not this time. A Hollywood movie<br />

company has come to town, and brought with it a huge cast, crew, and a troubled star. Marisol Hinton is very<br />

beautiful, reasonably talented, and scared out of her wits that her estranged husband's jealousy might take a<br />

dangerous turn. When she becomes the subject of a death threat, Jesse and the rest of the Paradise police<br />

department go on high alert. And when Jesse witnesses a horrifying collision caused by a distracted teenage<br />

driver, the political repercussions of her arrest bring him into conflict with the local selectment, the DA, and some<br />

people with very deep pockets. There's murder in the air, and it's Jesse's reputation as an uncompromising<br />

defender of the law—and his life—on the line.<br />

THE RUNAWAY PRINCESS<br />

BROWNE, HESTER<br />

As a high-rise gardener in London, Amy Wilde can make roses and salad leaves spring out of nowhere. But it’s<br />

love that blossoms when the normally withdrawn Londoner meets Leo at one of the parties thrown by her<br />

socialite friend. Tall, blond, and startlingly handsome, Leo is incredibly easygoing, as if he’s been brought up to<br />

make small talk with complete strangers. In fact, he was—and after a delightfully romantic date, he admits that<br />

his real name is Leopold—Prince Leopold III of Nirona, a wealthy European principality. After the two become<br />

engaged, a scandal makes Leo the heir to his nation’s throne and his mood abruptly changes. As the<br />

extravagant wedding plans consume the little country, Amy feels increasingly apprehensive and unsure of<br />

whether she’s the girl Leo thinks she is—especially with a scandal brewing within her own family. But can she<br />

run from her true love—and the glitter of royalty—and return to life as a commoner?<br />

SACRIFICE FLY<br />

O'MARA, TIM<br />

Raymond Donne wasn’t always a school teacher. Not only did he patrol the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as<br />

a police officer, but being the nephew of the chief of detectives, he was expected to go on to bigger things. But<br />

when an accident destroyed his knees and he was no longer able to do the job the way he wanted, he became a<br />

teacher in the same neighborhood. He put the force behind him and came to terms with the change, or at least<br />

he thought he had until Frankie Rivas, one of his students and a baseball phenom, stops showing up to class.<br />

With Frankie in danger of failing and missing out on a scholarship, Ray goes looking for him only to find<br />

Frankie’s father bludgeoned to death on the floor of their apartment. Frankie and his younger sister are gone,<br />

possibly on the run. But did they really kill their father? Ray can’t believe it. But then who did and where are<br />

Frankie and his sister? To bring Frankie and his sister home safely Ray must return to the life, the people, and<br />

the demons he walked out on all those years ago.<br />

THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS<br />

BOHJALIAN, CHRIS<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

When Elizabeth Endicott arrives in Aleppo, Syria she has a diploma from Mount Holyoke, a crash course in<br />

nursing, and only the most basic grasp of the Armenian language. The year is 1915 and she has volunteered on<br />

behalf of the Boston-based Friends of Armenia to help deliver food and medical aid to refugees of the Armenian<br />

genocide. There Elizabeth becomes friendly with Armen, a young Armenian engineer who has already lost his<br />

wife and infant daughter. When Armen leaves Aleppo and travels south into Egypt to join the British army, he<br />

begins to write Elizabeth letters, and comes to realize that he has fallen in love with the wealthy, young American<br />

woman who is so different from the wife he lost. Fast forward to the present day, where we meet Laura<br />

Petrosian, a novelist living in suburban New York. Although her grandparents' ornate Pelham home was<br />

affectionately nicknamed "The Ottoman Annex," Laura has never really given her Armenian heritage much<br />

thought. But when an old friend calls, claiming to have seen a newspaper photo of Laura's grandmother<br />

promoting an exhibit at a Boston museum, Laura embarks on a journey back through her family's history that<br />

reveals love, loss - and a wrenching secret that has been buried for generations.<br />

SHIVER<br />

ROBARDS, KAREN<br />

That night, Samantha Jones was doing what she always did: just trying to get by. Left to make her own way on<br />

the mean streets of East St. Louis, the pretty twenty-three-year-old single mother supported herself and her son<br />

as best she could by repo-ing cars. When she hooked her junker of a tow truck up to the BMW she’d been sent<br />

to haul in, the last thing she expected was to find a beaten, bloody man in the trunk—or to be catapulted into a<br />

terrifying fight to survive. Danny Pantrero was minutes away from dying when Sam found him. Bleeding badly<br />

from a gunshot wound, he’d been snatched from protective custody by a vicious gang of drug runners who would<br />

stop at nothing to see him dead. With his life on the line, Danny takes Sam hostage. Forcing her to help him, he<br />

tries to make her understand that now she’s a target for the killers, too. When they invade her house and<br />

threaten her son’s life, she finally understands: there’s no going back. She and five-year-old Tyler go on the run<br />

with Danny in a desperate effort to reach the authorities who have promised him protection before the killers can<br />

silence all three of them forever. In the face of harrowing danger, Sam has no choice but to trust Danny with her<br />

life—and, more importantly, her son’s. Against her will, she starts to fall for the once-menacing stranger, and<br />

discovers a depth of passion she never imagined she could feel.<br />

SIEGE 13<br />

DOBOZY, TAMAS<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In December of 1944, the Red Army entered Budapest to begin one of the bloodiest sieges of the<br />

Second World War. By February, the siege was over, but its effects were to be felt for decades afterward.<br />

Siege 13 is a collection of thirteen linked stories about this terrible time in history, both its historical moment, but<br />

also later, as a legacy of silence, haunting, and trauma that shadows the survivors. Set in both Budapest before<br />

and after the siege, and in the present day in Canada, the U.S., and parts of Europe, Siege 13 traces the ripple<br />

effect of this time on characters directly involved, and on their friends, associates, sons, daughters,<br />

grandchildren, and adoptive countries.<br />

THE STORY OF MY ASSASSINS<br />

TEJPAL, TARUN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

One of the most explosive books to ever come out of India, The Story of My Assassins is gripping from its first<br />

sentence: "The morning I learnt I'd been shot I was sitting in my office on the second floor looking out the big<br />

glass window at the yellow ringlets of a laburnum tree..." The story of a celebrated journalist learning that the<br />

police have captured five killers on their way to his office continues on to an absorbing saga that causes the<br />

journalist to reexamine his own life, while compulsively investigating the lives of his would-be killers. The result is<br />

an absorbing saga that takes us from the cream of Delhi's smart set, from lavish and hedonistic parties in<br />

marble-decked homes, to seedy, slummy Uttar Pradesh, home to the five men and boys held responsible for the<br />

intrigue. "They are no more victims than any of us -- trapped in the lives we have been given." And as the<br />

protagonist realizes it's true, he also realizes that none of these characters, ranging from village waifs and strays<br />

to dangerous thugs, could have masterminded the plot. So who wanted him dead?<br />

A SUNLESS SEA<br />

PERRY, ANNE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

As commander of the River Police, Monk is accustomed to violent death, but the mutilated female body found on<br />

Limehouse Pier one chilly December morning moves him with horror and pity. The victim’s name is Zenia<br />

Gadney. Her waterfront neighbors can tell him little—only that the same unknown gentleman had visited her<br />

once a month for many years. She must be a prostitute, but—described as quiet and kempt—she doesn’t appear<br />

to be a fallen woman. What sinister secrets could have made poor Zenia worth killing? And why does the<br />

government keep interfering in Monk’s investigation? While the public cries out for blood, Monk, his spirited wife,<br />

Hester, and their brilliant barrister friend, Oliver Rathbone, search for answers. From dank waterfront alleys to<br />

London’s fabulously wealthy West End, the three trail an ice-blooded murderer toward the unbelievable, possibly<br />

unprovable truth—and ultimately engage their adversaries in an electric courtroom duel. But unless they can<br />

work a miracle, a monumental evil will go unpunished and an innocent person will hang.<br />

SUSPICION<br />

WYATT, RACHEL<br />

As the hours since Candace’s disappearance build into days, a small town’s certainty that a simple domestic<br />

spat has led her to walk out gives way to suspicion. Everyone knows everyone else’s motive; everyone knows<br />

who has reason to be guilty. After all, isn’t Candace’s husband Jack the architect of an wildly unpopular multimillion<br />

dollar housing development? Didn’t her (younger, prettier) sister lead the opposing protests? Why is her<br />

father busier pursuing a new relationship than looking for his daughter? Doesn’t it seem strange that of<br />

everyone, her brother-in-law is the one most hell-bent on finding her? And why won’t Jack sit down to a simple<br />

supper with the family lawyer? Nothing escapes the notice of ‘Marguerite’, the anonymous chatroom regular who<br />

describes the faults and foibles of the townspeople with gleeful and unflinching keystrokes. While the mixed-up<br />

stories of blame and distrust threaten to destroy a family and weaken the town itself, ‘Marguerite’ has all the<br />

answers. If only someone were listening…<br />

THE SWEETEST DARK<br />

ABE, SHANA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Lora Jones has always known that she’s different. On the outside, she appears to be an ordinary sixteen-yearold<br />

girl. Yet Lora’s been keeping a heartful of secrets: She hears songs that no one else can hear, dreams vividly<br />

of smoke and flight, and lives with a mysterious voice inside her that insists she’s far more than what she seems.<br />

England, 1915. Raised in an orphanage in a rough corner of London, Lora quickly learns to hide her unique<br />

abilities and avoid attention. Then, much to her surprise, she is selected as the new charity student at Iverson,<br />

an elite boarding school on England’s southern coast. Iverson’s eerie, gothic castle is like nothing Lora has ever<br />

seen. And the two boys she meets there will open her eyes and forever change her destiny. Jesse is the school’s<br />

groundskeeper—a beautiful boy who recognizes Lora for who and what she truly is. Armand is a darkly<br />

handsome and arrogant aristocrat who harbors a few closely guarded secrets of his own. Both hold the answers<br />

to her past. One is the key to her future. And both will aim to win her heart. As danger descends upon Iverson,<br />

Lora must harness the powers she’s only just begun to understand, or else lose everything she dearly loves.<br />

SYNDROME E<br />

THILLIEZ, FRANCK<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Already a runaway bestseller in France, Syndrome E tells the story of beleaguered detective Lucie Hennebelle,<br />

whose old friend has developed a case of spontaneous blindness after watching an extremely rare—and violent<br />

—film from the 1950s. Embedded in the film are subliminal images so unspeakably heinous that Lucie realizes<br />

she must get to the bottom of it—especially when nearly everyone who comes into contact with the film starts<br />

turning up dead. Enlisting the help of Inspector Franck Sharko—a brooding, broken analyst for the Paris police<br />

who is exploring the film’s connection to five murdered men left in the woods, Lucie begins to strip away the<br />

layers of what is perhaps the most disturbing and powerful film ever made. Soon Sharko and Lucie find<br />

themselves mired in a darkness that spreads across politics, religion, science, and art while stretching from<br />

France to Canada, Egypt to Rwanda, and beyond. And just who is responsible for this darkness will blow readers<br />

minds, as Syndrome E forces them to consider: what if the earliest and most brilliant advances and discoveries<br />

of neuroscience were not used for good—but for evil.<br />

Jack Sawyer, twelve years old, is about to begin a most fantastic journey, an exalting, terrifying quest for the<br />

mystical Talisman—the only thing that can save Jack’s dying mother. But to reach his goal, Jack must make his<br />

way not only across the breadth of the United States but also through the wondrous and menacing parallel world<br />

of the Territories. In the Territories, Jack finds another realm, where the air is so sweet and clear a man can<br />

smell a radish being pulled from the ground a mile away—and a life can be snuffed out instantly in the continuing<br />

struggle between good and evil. Here Jack discovers “Twinners,” reflections of the people he knows on earth—<br />

most notably Queen Laura, the “Twinner” of Jack’s own imperiled mother. As Jack “flips” between worlds, making<br />

his way westward toward the redemptive Talisman, a sequence of heart-stopping encounters challenges him at<br />

every step.<br />

TELEGRAPH AVENUE<br />

CHABON, MICHAEL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

As the summer of 2004 draws to a close, Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are still hanging in there, long-time<br />

friends, bandmates and co-regents of Brokeland Records, a kingdom of used vinyl located in the sketchy yet<br />

freewheeling borderlands of Berkeley and Oakland. Archy and his wife, Gwen, are expecting their first baby; Nat<br />

and Aviva have a teenaged son, Julius. Cranky, flawed and loving each otherwith all the fierceness we've come<br />

to expect of Chabon characters, Archy and Nat have worked to construct lives and livelihoods that have a<br />

groove, looking to connect across barriers of race and class, and clinging to a sense of order and security<br />

through their stubbornly old-school ways. When ex-NFL quarterback Gibson Goode, the fourth-richest black man<br />

in America, announces plans to construct his latest Dogpile megastore on a nearby neglected stretch of<br />

Telegraph Avenue, Nat and Archy fear it means certain doom for their vulnerable little enterprise. What they don't<br />

know is that Goode's announcement marks the climax of a decades-old secret history, encompassing a forgotten<br />

crime of the Black Panther era, the tragedy of Archy's own deadbeat father - a long-faded Blaxploitation star -<br />

and the perpetual shining failure of American optimism about race.<br />

THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE HER<br />

DIAZ, JUNOT<br />

The stories in This Is How You Lose Her, by turns hilarious and devastating, raucous and tender, lay bare the<br />

infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of our all-too-human hearts. They capture the heat of new passion,<br />

the recklessness with which we betray what we most treasure, and the torture we go through - "the begging, the<br />

crawling over glass, the crying" - to try to mend what we've broken beyond repair. They recall the echoes that<br />

intimacy leaves behind, even where we thought we did not care. They teach us the catechism of affections: that<br />

the faithlessness of the fathers is visited upon the children; that what we do unto our exes is inevitably done in<br />

turn unto us; and that loving thy neighbor as thyself is a commandment more safely honored on platonic than<br />

erotic terms. Most of all, these stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over experience, and<br />

that “love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.”<br />

missiles (SAM's) from ex-Libyan spies in Cairo. Their mission: infiltrate the United States and take down<br />

American aircraft. The country's best are tasked with stopping them. But when a SEAL Team Six mission to take<br />

down al Amriki goes wrong, Major Raynor and his Delta Force team find themselves front and center as Amriki<br />

and his terrorists work their way closer to America. And time is running out.<br />

unfortunate donkey--Toploader is a savage and hilarious indictment of occupation diplomacy.<br />

TRUST YOUR EYES<br />

BARCLAY, LINWOOD<br />

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of<br />

his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as<br />

stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as<br />

well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else<br />

might have stumbled upon--but has not--in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An<br />

image that looks like a woman being murdered. Thomas's brother, Ray, takes care of him, cooking for him,<br />

dealing with the outside world on his behalf, and listening to his intricate and increasingly paranoid theories.<br />

When Thomas tells Ray what he has seen, Ray humors him with a half-hearted investigation. But Ray soon<br />

realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy. And now they are in the crosshairs.<br />

PRESTON, DOUGLAS & CHILD, LINCOLN<br />

After his wife, Helen, is brazenly abducted before his eyes, Special Agent Pendergast furiously pursues the<br />

kidnappers, chasing them across the country and into Mexico. But then, things go terribly, tragically wrong; the<br />

kidnappers escape; and a shattered Pendergast retreats to his New York apartment and shuts out the world. But<br />

when a string of bizarre murders erupts across several Manhattan hotels--perpetrated by a boy who seems to<br />

have an almost psychic ability to elude capture--NYPD Lieutenant D'Agosta asks his friend Pendergast for help.<br />

Reluctant at first, Pendergast soon discovers that the killings are a message from his wife's kidnappers. But why<br />

a message? And what does it mean? When the kidnappers strike again at those closest to Pendergast, the FBI<br />

agent, filled anew with vengeful fury, sets out to track down and destroy those responsible. His journey takes him<br />

deep into the trackless forests of South America, where he ultimately finds himself face to face with an old evil<br />

that-rather than having been eradicated-is stirring anew... and with potentially world-altering consequences.<br />

THE TYPEWRITER GIRL<br />

ATLEE, ALISON<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In Victorian London, there’s only so far an unmarried woman can go, and Betsey Dobson has relied on her wits<br />

and cunning to take herself as far as she can—to a position as a typewriter girl. But still, Betsey yearns for<br />

something more…so when she’s offered a position as the excursions manager at a seaside resort, she knows<br />

this is her chance for security, for independence, for an identity forged by her own work and not a man’s opinion.<br />

Underqualified for the job and on the wrong side of the aristocratic resort owner, Betsey struggles to prove<br />

herself and looks to the one person who can support her new venture: Mr. Jones, the ambitious Welshman<br />

building the resort’s pleasure fair. As she and Mr. Jones grow ever closer, Betsey begins to dream that she might<br />

finally have found her place in the world—but when her past returns to haunt her, she must fight for what she’s<br />

worked so hard…or risk losing everything.<br />

And he has a plan. He'll confront his darkest fears and build something beautiful: a garden. When he meets Tilly<br />

Silverberg, he knows she holds the key...even if she doesn't think so. After her husband's death, gardening<br />

became Tilly's livelihood and her salvation. Her thriving North Carolina business and her young son, Isaac, are<br />

and Tilly begin to forge an unlikely bond, tenuous at first but taking root every day. And as they work to build a<br />

UNTIL THE NIGHT<br />

BLUNT, GILES<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

It's not unusual for John Cardinal to be hauled out of a warm bed on a cold night in Algonquin Bay to investigate<br />

a murder. And at first this dead body, sprawled in the parking lot of Motel 17, looks pretty run of the mill: the<br />

corpse has a big bootprint on his neck, and the likely suspect is his lover's outraged husband. But the lover has<br />

gone missing. And then Delorme, following a hunch, locates another missing woman, a senator's wife from<br />

Ottawa, frozen in the ruins of an abandoned hotel way back in the woods. Spookily, she was chained up and<br />

abandoned wearing a new winter parka and boots, with a thermos beside her--as if her murderer was giving her<br />

a whisper of a chance at survival. Neither Delorme nor Cardinal can imagine where their investigation will lead:<br />

into a decades-old injustice committed in the high Arctic; into the swingers' world inhabited by an ex-rock star<br />

who owns a pub in Algonquin Bay as well as private members' clubs in Toronto and Ottawa; into the insecurity<br />

that afflicts Delorme the woman and the cop; and into the deep bond between Delorme and Cardinal.<br />

that life is very difficult these days. His academic rival (and owner of a one-legged dachsund) Detlev-Amadeus<br />

at a dinner party, he is the only kind soul who can aid the aforementioned unfortunate dachshund, whose sticky<br />

wheels are in need of lubrication.<br />

A WANTED MAN<br />

CHILD, LEE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next<br />

to him, telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man<br />

with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia. An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old<br />

pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife<br />

work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends,<br />

laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there. All Reacher wanted was a ride to<br />

Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied<br />

himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat—to both sides at once. In Lee Child’s white-hot thriller,<br />

nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious,<br />

keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale.<br />

WE SINNERS<br />

PYLVAINEN, HANNA<br />

The Rovaniemis and their nine children belong to a deeply traditional church (no drinking, no dancing, no TV) in<br />

modern-day Michigan. A normal family in many ways, the Rovaniemis struggle with sibling rivalry, parental<br />

expectations, and forming their own unique identities in such a large family. But when two of the children venture<br />

from the faith, the family fragments and a haunting question emerges: Do we believe for ourselves, or for each<br />

other? Each chapter is told from the distinctive point of view of a different Rovaniemi, drawing a nuanced,<br />

kaleidoscopic portrait of this unconventional family. The children who reject the church learn that freedom comes<br />

at the almost unbearable price of their close family ties, and those who stay struggle daily with the challenges of<br />

resisting the temptations of modern culture. With precision and potent detail, We Sinners follows each character<br />

on their journey of doubt, self-knowledge, acceptance, and, ultimately, survival.<br />

A WEEK IN WINTER<br />

BINCHY, MAEVE<br />

High on the cliffs of the west coast of Ireland, overlooking the windswept Atlantic ocean, is Stone House. Once<br />

falling into disrepair, it is now a beautiful hotel specialising in winter holidays. With a big, warm kitchen, log fires<br />

and understated, elegant bedrooms, it provides a welcome few can resist, whatever their reasons for coming...<br />

Henry and Nicola are burdened with a terrible secret, and are hoping the break at Stone House will help them<br />

find a way to face the future. Winnie, generally one to make the best of things, finds herself on the holiday from<br />

hell. Then there's John, who arrived on impulse after he missed a flight at Shannon; eccentric Freda, who claims<br />

to be a psychic - and the silent, watchful Nora, who seems so ready to disapprove. But looks can be deceptive...<br />

WHAT HAPPENS AT CHRISTMAS<br />

ALEXANDER, VICTORIA<br />

Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows what she wants for Christmas — an official engagement to a handsome prince.<br />

The prince insists on getting her family’s approval first, which leaves the lovely widow with a problem. The last<br />

thing Camille wants is for him to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille<br />

can pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions. At least until Grayson Elliot shows up. A dozen years<br />

ago, their romance ended at her mother’s insistence. Now he’s back, playing absolute havoc with her scheme —<br />

and with her heart. Because for Grayson, losing Camille once was quite bad enough. Losing her twice?<br />

Unthinkable. And he’ll find a way to show her they belong together — this season, and every Christmas yet to<br />

come…<br />

WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU<br />

RINGWALD, MOLLY<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Molly Ringwald mines the complexities of modern relationships in this gripping and nuanced collection of<br />

interlinked stories. Writing with a deep compassion for human imperfection, Ringwald follows a Los Angeles<br />

family and their friends and neighbors while they negotiate the hazardous terrain of everyday life—revealing the<br />

deceptions, heartbreak, and vulnerability familiar to us all. In “The Harvest Moon,” a stay-at-home mom grapples<br />

with age, infertility and an increasingly distant husband. In “Ursa Minor,” a former children's television star tries to<br />

rebuild his life after being hospitalized for "exhaustion." An elderly woman mourns the loss of her husband and<br />

her estranged relationship with her daughter in “The Little One.” In “My Olivia,” a single mother finds untapped<br />

reserves of strength to protect her flamboyant six-year-old son who wishes only to wear dresses and be<br />

addressed as "Olivia." And in the devastating title story, a betrayed wife chronicles her pain and alienation,<br />

leading to an eviscerating denouement.<br />

DISHER, GARRY<br />

Hal Challis is in trouble at home and abroad: dressed down by the boss for speaking out about police budget<br />

Police Station, Challis finds his officers have their own issues. Scobie Sutton, still struggling with his wife's<br />

depression, seems to be headed for a career crisis; and something very interesting is going on between<br />

WILDERNESS<br />

WELLER, LANCE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Thirty years after the Civil War’s Battle of the Wilderness left him maimed, Abel Truman has found his way to the<br />

edge of the continent, the rugged, majestic coast of Washington State, where he lives alone in a driftwood shack<br />

with his beloved dog. Wilderness is the story of Abel, now an old and ailing man, and his heroic final journey over<br />

the snowbound Olympic Mountains. It’s a quest he has little hope of completing but still must undertake to settle<br />

matters of the heart that predate even the horrors of the war. As Abel makes his way into the foothills, the<br />

violence he endures at the hands of two thugs who are after his dog is crosscut with his memories of the horrors<br />

of the war, the friends he lost, and the savagery he took part in and witnessed. And yet, darkness is cut by light,<br />

especially in the people who have touched his life—from Jane Dao-Ming Poole, the daughter of murdered<br />

Chinese immigrants, to Hypatia, an escaped slave who nursed him back to life, and finally to the unbearable<br />

memory of the wife and child he lost as a young man.<br />

THE WOMAN WHO DIED A LOT<br />

FFORDE, JASPER<br />

The Bookworld’s leading enforcement officer, Thursday Next, has been forced into a semiretirement following an<br />

assassination attempt, returning home to Swindon and her family to recuperate. But Thursday’s children have<br />

problems that demand she become a mother of invention: Friday’s career struggles in the Chronoguard, where<br />

he is relegated to a might-have-been; Tuesday’s trouble perfecting the Anti-Smote shield, needed in time to<br />

thwart an angry Deity’s promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth; and the issue of Thursday’s third child,<br />

Jenny, who doesn’t exist except as a confusing and disturbing memory. With Goliath attempting to replace<br />

Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, and a call from the Bookworld to hunt down<br />

Pagerunners who have jumped into the Realworld, Thursday’s convalescence is going to be anything but restful<br />

as the week ahead promises to be one of the Next family’s oddest.<br />

JACOBSON, HOWARD<br />

Novelist Guy Ableman is in thrall to his vivacious wife Vanessa, a strikingly beautiful red-head, contrary, highly<br />

strung and blazingly angry. The trouble is, he is no less in thrall to her alluring mother, Poppy. More like sisters<br />

than mother and daughter, they come as a pair, a blistering presence that destroys Guy's peace of mind,<br />

suggesting the wildest stories but making it impossible for him to concentrate long enough to write any of them.<br />

Not that anyone reads Guy anyway. Not that anyone is reading anything. Reading, Guy fears, is finished. His<br />

publisher, fearing the same, has committed suicide. His agent, like all agents, is in hiding. Vanessa, in the<br />

meantime, is writing a novel of her own. Guy doesn't expect her to finish it, or even start it, but he dreads the<br />

consequences if she does. In flight from personal disappointment and universal despair, Guy wonders if it's time<br />

to take his love for Poppy to another level. Fiction might be dead, but desire isn’t. And out of that desire he<br />

imagines squeezing one more great book.<br />

101 WORLD WHISKIES TO TRY BEFORE YOU DIE<br />

BUXTON, IAN<br />

In Ian Buxton's new collection of whisky recommendations he has cast his net wider. He includes not only<br />

whiskies from the established whisky-producing countries, but also many newcomers. The book includes<br />

whiskies from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany,<br />

Holland, India, Ireland, Japan, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, USA and Wales. All<br />

the whiskies included are both affordable and accessible. Ian Buxton does not believe in collecting whiskies or<br />

investing in whisky. He believes in tasting and enjoying the huge range of whiskies that are available. The book<br />

includes single malts and blends - and provocatively a few renegade suggestions that are bound to offend<br />

purists.<br />

1775: A GOOD YEAR FOR REVOLUTION<br />

PHILLIPS, KEVIN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In 1775, iconoclastic historian and bestselling author Kevin Phillips punctures the myth that 1776 was the<br />

watershed year of the American Revolution. He suggests that the great events and confrontations of 1775—<br />

Congress’s belligerent economic ultimatums to Britain, New England’s rage militaire, the exodus of British troops<br />

and expulsion of royal governors up and down the seaboard, and the new provincial congresses and hundreds<br />

of local committees that quickly reconstituted local authority in Patriot hands—achieved a sweeping Patriot<br />

control of territory and local government that Britain was never able to overcome. These each added to the<br />

Revolution’s essential momentum so when the British finally attacked in great strength the following year, they<br />

could not regain the control they had lost in 1775.<br />

ABORIGINAL RIGHTS ARE NOT HUMAN RIGHTS<br />

KULCHYSKI, PETER<br />

Aboriginal rights are often assumed to belong to the broader category of human rights; Kulchyski makes a<br />

powerful argument against this. On the contrary, indigenous people across the world need specific rights in part<br />

to balance against the universalist core of human rights. This book provides conceptual and historical analyses<br />

distinguishing aboriginal rights from human rights. It shows how aboriginal rights result from the struggles of<br />

native peoples. It traces the development of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,<br />

the Aboriginal rights provisions of the Constitution of Canada and pertinent Canadian legal decisions. While not a<br />

critique of the universalistic nature and European origins of human rights, Kulchyski shows how the effective use<br />

of aboriginal rights necessitates a clear understanding of their unique nature. The book includes additional<br />

essays on related themes demonstrating how knowledge of aboriginal rights is critical to socialist practice,<br />

highlighting how specific Canadian struggles can be understood through the lens of aboriginal rights.<br />

AC/DC: THE BIOGRAPHY<br />

WALL, MICK<br />

AC/DC moved to Britain from Sydney in 1975, and soon set up a residency at London's Marquee Club. Their<br />

short hair (including the odd mullet), loud rock and attitude chimed well with the lingering pub rock and soon-tobe<br />

punk crowd. They weren't really a band for guitar solos, and singer Bon Scott was the original bike-riding,<br />

speed-snorting, fighting man. An ex-convict he lived life fast and short; he died in February 1980, just before<br />

BACK IN BLACK, their huge-selling album, took off, and the second period of AC/DC (with Brian Johnson as<br />

lead vocalist) was ushered in. Mick Wall, the don of heavy metal writing, seeks to penetrate the wall around the<br />

Young brothers, and write the first authoritative, in-depth critical account of AC/DC.<br />

ADELE: THE BIOGRAPHY<br />

SHAPIRO, MARC<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Over the past year, Adele has taken the country by storm, sweeping the 2012 Grammy Awards and taking home<br />

six titles, including one for Album of the Year. The British singer-songwriter has been smashing records ever<br />

since her 2008 appearance on Saturday Night Live and her 2009 Grammy for Best New Artist. The success of<br />

her second album, 21, made her the first living artist since the Beatles to have two top-five hits in both the UK<br />

singles and albums charts. The album hit the #1 spot in 18 different countries. In the U.S., 21 is the longest<br />

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: EVOLUTION<br />

GLEASON, KATHERINE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

From Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims, his 1992 graduate collection, to Plato's Atlantis, the last show before<br />

his death in 2010, Lee Alexander McQueen was as celebrated for the exquisite tailoring, meticulous<br />

craftsmanship, and stunning originality of his designs as he was notorious for his theatrical—and often<br />

controversial—runway shows. McQueen found inspiration for his avant-garde collections everywhere: his<br />

Scottish ancestry, Alfred Hitchcock movies, Yoruba mythology, the destruction of the environment—even the<br />

fashion industry itself. Whatever his inspiration, however, McQueen’s concept for his runway show came first<br />

and was crucial to the development of the collection. Illustrated throughout with stunning photography and<br />

liberally sprinkled with quotations from McQueen and those who knew him best, Alexander McQueen: Evolution<br />

is the story of the designer’s thirty-five runway shows and the genius behind them.<br />

AMERICA AGAIN<br />

COLBERT, STEPHEN<br />

Book store nation, in the history of mankind there has never been a greater country than America. You could say<br />

we're the #1 nation at being the best at greatness. But as perfect as America is in every single way, America is<br />

broken! And we can't exchange it because we're 236 years past the 30-day return window. Look around--we<br />

don't make anything anymore, we've mortgaged our future to China, and the Apologist-in-Chief goes on world<br />

AMERICAN BUT BETTER<br />

CANNON, CHRIS<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Based on their hilarious viral campaign, a new satirical political party announces its Canadacy for president of<br />

the United States. This isn't an invasion, it's an intervention. From the country that brought you toques and Justin<br />

Bieber comes a plan to restore America to its former glory. The U.S. political system increasingly resembles an<br />

all-chimp revue of Cats, and its citizens are looking for a new leader. That leader is Canada. Following their viral<br />

YouTube campaign, the leaders of the Canada Party here unveil their platform for U.S. presidency. Their<br />

promises: Oil pipelines will carry maple syrup, Corners will be installed in the Oval Office, and timeouts given to<br />

Congressmen who can't play nice. The phrase 'job creators' will be changed to 'job creationists,' and they will be<br />

given seven days to actually create some.<br />

AMONG THE ISLANDS<br />

FLANNERY, TIM<br />

Twenty-five years ago, a young Australian museum curator named Tim Flannery set out to research the fauna of<br />

the Pacific Islands. Starting with a survey of one of the most inaccessible islands in Melanesia, the young<br />

scientist found himself ghost whispering, snake wrestling and Quadoi hunting in search of a small bat that turned<br />

out not to be so interesting. With accounts of discovering, naming and sometimes eating new mammal species;<br />

being thwarted or aided by local customs; and historic scientific expeditions, Flannery, now one of the world’s top<br />

environmentalists, takes us on a journey through some of the most diverse and spectacular places on earth.<br />

AND LIVE REJOICING<br />

SMITH, HUSTON<br />

Huston Smith was born in 1919 in Dzhou Dzu, China, the son of missionaries. His primary and secondary<br />

education were in China, though he traveled to the midwestern U.S. at times by ship and recalls revival meetings<br />

held in small farming communities there. Always curious, Smith's philosophy throughout life is to take on any<br />

challenge and accept any invitation to learn more about other people and their religions. As the title proclaims,<br />

he has also rejoiced in his opportunities, encounters, studies, and the people he meets along the way. Huston<br />

continued meeting and interviewing religious mavericks and cultural figures from all areas of contemporary life,<br />

including Timothy Leary, Bill Wilson (founder of AA), Mickey Hart, Native American shamans, Zen roshis, and<br />

was even detained at the largest police station in the world.<br />

ANGELA JAMES: THE FIRST SUPERSTAR OF WOMEN'S HOCKEY<br />

BARTSIOKAS, TOM<br />

Dubbed "the Wayne Gretzky of women's hockey," Angela James became the most dominant female player on<br />

the planet from the early 1980s through the mid 1990s. Her rise to hockey stardom, however, was a true long<br />

shot. During a difficult childhood plagued by near-poverty and familial chaos, hockey was James's escape.<br />

Talent and determination eventually took this hockey pioneer from struggling for ice time on boys' teams to the<br />

Hockey Hall of Fame, where, in 2010, she became the first woman, first openly gay player and second black<br />

athlete to ever be inducted.Angela James: The First Superstar of Canadian Women's Hockey charts James's<br />

rise to stardom from learning how to play on borrowed skates to dominating as an international success, from<br />

her controversial exclusion from the 1998 Olympic women's hockey team and its aftermath to becoming the<br />

passionate educator, coach and mother that she is today.<br />

APOCALYPTIC PLANET<br />

CHILDS, CRAIG<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In a riveting narrative, Craig Childs makes clear the fact that ours is not a stable planet; that it is prone to<br />

sudden, violent natural disasters and extremes of climate. He refutes the idea of an apocalyptic end to earth, and<br />

finds clues to the more inevitable end in some of the most physically challenging places on earth. He travels<br />

from the deserts of Chile, the driest in the world, to the genetic wasteland of central Iowa, to the site of the<br />

drowned land bridge of the Bering Sea, uncovering the micro-cataclysms that predict the macro: forthcoming ice<br />

ages, super volcanoes, and the conclusion of planetary life cycles. Childs delivers a sensual feast in his<br />

descriptions of the natural world, and a bounty of unequivocal science that provides us with an unprecedented<br />

understanding of our future.<br />

ARCADE FIRE: A BIOGRAPHY<br />

MIDDLES, MICK<br />

Formed around future husband and wife team of Win Butler and Regine Chassagne in 1993, this powerful<br />

seven-piece band seemed to define onstage dynamism before they even discovered an audience. Once beyond<br />

the obligatory low-budget debut EP, they fused their complex instrumentation - piano, viola, French horn,<br />

accordian, harp, hurdy gurdy, etc. - to produce Funeral, one of the greatest debut albums in decades. This 1994<br />

release, bolstered by hearty support from the likes of David Bowie, David Byrne and U2, catapulted Arcade Fire<br />

to worldwide success. Triumphant sets at the Coachella, Reading and Latitude festivals only served to continue<br />

the momentum. This book looks beyond the triumphs that gather in their story, to discover a band who are<br />

determined to retain the pure yet complex personal dynamic that always set them apart.<br />

BECAUSE I SAID SO<br />

JENNINGS, KEN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Ken Jennings is here to tell us that mother and father didn’t always know best. Yes, all those years you were told<br />

not to sit too close to the television (you’ll go blind!), or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven<br />

years!), or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country’s leading trivia guru. Jennings<br />

separates myth from fact to humorously debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit<br />

up straight, don’t talk to strangers, you’ll get worms from cookie dough, and so on. Combining the Q&A tradition<br />

of Why Do Men Have Nipples? and the anti-helicopter parenting philosophy of The Dangerous Book for Boys,<br />

Jennings exposes countless examples of parental wisdom run amuck, armed with medical case histories,<br />

scientific findings, and even the occasional experiment on himself (or his kids). Whether you’re a parent who<br />

wants to know what you can stop worrying about or a kid (of any age) looking to say, “I told you so,” this is the<br />

book you've been waiting for.<br />

BIG SCREEN: THE STORY OF THE MOVIES<br />

THOMSON, DAVID<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The Big Screen is not another history of the movies. Rather, it is a wide-ranging narrative about the movies and<br />

their signal role in modern life. At first, film was a waking dream, the gift of appearance delivered for a nickel to<br />

huddled masses sitting in the dark. But soon, and abruptly, movies began transforming our society and our<br />

perception of the world. David Thomson takes us around the globe, through time, and across many media—<br />

moving from Eadweard Muybridge to Steve Jobs, from Sunrise to I Love Lucy, from John Wayne to George<br />

Clooney, from television commercials to picture bytes on the Internet—to tell the complex, gripping, paradoxical<br />

story of the movies. He tracks the ways in which we were initially enchanted by this mesmerizing imitation of life<br />

and let movies—the stories, the stars, the look—show us how to live. But at the same time, movies, offering a<br />

seductive escape from everyday reality and its responsibilities, have made it possible for us to evade life<br />

altogether. The entranced audience has become a model for powerless and anxietyridden citizens trying to<br />

pursue happiness and dodge terror by sitting quietly in a dark room.<br />

THE BLACK COUNT<br />

REISS, TOM<br />

His swashbuckling exploits appear in "The Three Musketeers," and his triumphs and ultimate tragic fate inspired<br />

"The Count of Monte Cristo." His name is Alex Dumas. Father of the novelist Alexandre Dumas, Alex has<br />

become, through his son's books, "the" model for a captivating modern protagonist: the wronged man in search<br />

of justice. Born to a black slave mother and a fugitive white French nobleman in Saint-Domingue (present-day<br />

Haiti), Alex Dumas was briefly sold into bondage but then made his way to Paris where he was schooled as a<br />

sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. He was only 32 when he was given command of 53,000 men,<br />

the reward for series of triumphs that many regarded as impossible, and then topped his previous feats by<br />

leading a raid up a frozen cliff face that secured the Alps for France. It was after his subsequent heroic service<br />

as Napoleon's cavalry commander that Dumas was captured and cast into a dungeon--and a harrowing ordeal<br />

commenced that inspired one of the world's classic works of fiction.<br />

THE BOOK OF JOB: WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPENED TO A GOOD PERSON<br />

KUSHNER, HAROLD<br />

The story of Job is one of unjust things happening to a good man. Yet after losing everything, Job—though<br />

confused, angry, and questioning God—refuses to reject his faith, although he challenges some central aspects<br />

of it, and is rewarded with abundant good fortune. Rabbi Kushner examines the questions raised by Job's<br />

experience, questions that have challenged wisdom-seekers and worshippers for centuries. What kind of God<br />

permits such bad things to happen to good people? Why does He test his followers? Can a deeply good God be<br />

all-powerful? Rooted in the text, the critical tradition that surrounds it, and his own profoundly moral thinking,<br />

Kushner's study gives us the book of Job as a lodestone for our time, teaching us about what can and cannot be<br />

controlled, about the power of faith when all seems dark, and about our ability to find God where we look for him.<br />

BRAIN ON FIRE<br />

CAHALAN, SUSANNAH<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

One day, Susannah Cahalan woke up in a strange hospital room, strapped to her bed, under guard, and unable<br />

to move or speak. Her medical records—from a month-long hospital stay of which she had no memory—showed<br />

psychosis, violence, and dangerous instability. Yet, only weeks earlier she had been a healthy, ambitious twentyfour<br />

year old, six months into her first serious relationship and a sparkling career as a cub reporter. Susannah’s<br />

astonishing memoir chronicles the swift path of her illness and the lucky, last-minute intervention led by one of<br />

the few doctors capable of saving her life. As weeks ticked by and Susannah moved from violence to catatonia,<br />

$1 million worth of blood tests and brain scans revealed nothing. The exhausted doctors were ready to commit<br />

her to the psychiatric ward, until Dr. Souhel Najjar joined her team. He asked Susannah to draw one simple<br />

sketch, which became key to diagnosing her with a newly discovered autoimmune disease in which her body<br />

was attacking her brain, an illness now thought to be the cause of “demonic possessions” throughout history.<br />

BREAST STORIES<br />

CARPENTER, PHIL<br />

“My name is Phil Carpenter, Montreal photojournalist and video journalist, and this is what the project is all<br />

about. BREAST STORIES is a book project to document 60-100 women across Canada, who have had<br />

mastectomy. The purpose of the project is to explore the cultural meaning of a woman’s breasts, “the only organ<br />

that is both sexual and maternal.” By seeing photographs of these women, beautiful and confident with missing<br />

breasts or surgically recreated ones, I hope it will challenge us to continue to examine how we regard women in<br />

our culture and how we define femininity. Through the first person stories written by the women in this book, we<br />

will get a sense of the varied effect that such an experience has on women. My hope is that it will prompt<br />

conversation, debate, reflection and awareness. Also, my hope is that this collection of images will help to ease<br />

the fear of, or unease with this reality of life. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book will be for<br />

psychological oncology, at breast cancer clinics in Canadian hospitals.”<br />

BUDDY: HOW A ROOSTER MADE ME A FAMILY MAN<br />

MCGRORY, BRIAN<br />

Brian McGrory's life changed drastically after the death of his beloved dog, Harry: he fell in love with Pam,<br />

Harry's veterinarian. Though Brian’s only responsibility used to be his adored Harry, Pam came with accessories<br />

that could not have been more exotic to the city-loving bachelor: a home in suburbia, two young daughters, two<br />

dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and a portly, snow white, red-crowned-and-wattled step-rooster named Buddy. While<br />

Buddy loves the women of the house, he takes Brian's presence as an affront, doing everything he can to drive<br />

out his rival. Initially resistant to elements of his new life and to the loud, aggressive rooster, Brian eventually<br />

sees that Buddy shares the kind of extraordinary relationship with Pam and her two girls that he wants for<br />

himself. The rooster is what Brian needs to be – strong and content, devoted to what he has rather than what<br />

might be missing. As he learns how to live by living with animals, Buddy, Brian’s nemesis, becomes Buddy,<br />

Brian’s inspiration, in this inherently human story of love, acceptance, and change.<br />

CAPTURING CAMELOT<br />

A consummate photojournalist, Stanley Tretick was sent by United Press International to follow the Kennedy<br />

campaign of 1960. The photographer soon befriended the candidate and took many of JFK's best pictures during<br />

this time. When Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House, and the picture<br />

magazine Look hired him to cover the president and his family. Tretick is best known today for the photographs<br />

he took of President Kennedy relaxing with his children. His photographs helped define the American family of<br />

the early sixties and lent Kennedy an endearing credibility that greatly contributed to his popularity.<br />

CARICATURE CARTOON CANADA<br />

MOSHER, TERRY<br />

“The idea for this collection came from a conversation I had with the great Russian cartoonist Oleg Dergachov,<br />

who now lives in Montreal. Oleg told me of a Moscow cartoonist who, on his deathbed, asked that one of his<br />

favourite cartoons be engraved on his headstone. rather than the usual text. Apparently a group of colleagues<br />

now gather annually and toast their former friend over his unique gravestone with a glass of vodka or two. The<br />

anecdote poses a question of any cartoonist: What cartoon have you drawn to date that you would most like to<br />

be remembered for? So I asked all the political cartoonists now working right across Canada that very question –<br />

and then to send me their favourites for this book. This book then is a snapshot of contemporary Canadian<br />

concerns and attitudes – some quite controversial – as illustrated through the wit and wisdom of our cartoonists.<br />

Given the variety of styles and points of view, this collection is proof that Canadian cartoonists working right<br />

across the land are very, very good at what they do.” - Terry Mosher<br />

CEZANNE: A LIFE<br />

DANCHEV, ALEX<br />

Alex Danchev, with brisk intellect, rich documentation, and eighty color illustrations, tells the story of an artist<br />

who, during his lifetime, was considered a madman, a barbarian, and a revolutionary. Beginning with the restless<br />

teenager from Aix, Danchev carries us through the trials of a painter who believed that art must be an expression<br />

of temperament but who was tormented by self-doubt; whose work sold to no one outside his immediate circle<br />

until late into his thirties; who fiercely maintained the revolutionary belief that "to paint from nature is not to copy<br />

an object; it is to represent its sensations." And Danchev shows us how the implications of this belief became the<br />

obsession of many other artists and writers, from Matisse to Samuel Beckett. The book delivers not only the<br />

fascinating life of this visionary artist and remarkable man but a complete assessment of his ongoing influence in<br />

the artistic imagination of our own time.<br />

CHANEL BONFIRE<br />

LAWLESS, WENDY<br />

Georgann Rea didn’t bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill<br />

plugged into her cigarette holder. She had slept with too many men, and some women, and she didn’t like dogs<br />

or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match. In this<br />

evocative, darkly humorous memoir, Wendy deftly charts the highs and lows of growing up with her younger<br />

sister in the shadow of an unstable, fabulously neglectful mother. Georgann, a real-life Holly Golightly who<br />

constantly reinvents herself as she trades up from trailer-park to penthouse, suffers multiple nervous<br />

breakdowns and suicide attempts, while Wendy tries to hide the cracks in their fractured family from the rest of<br />

the world.<br />

CORVETTE<br />

NEWHARDT, DAVID<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

For 60 years, the Chevrolet Corvette, arguably one of the most recognized sports cars in the world, has been the<br />

American sports car, an icon of American horsepower and performance. The list of the car's accomplishments<br />

both on and off track is legendary. Chevrolet has never built an ordinary Corvette. Even the most mundane<br />

coupe draws a crowd everywhere it goes. The Corvette is one of the longest continually produced sports cars in<br />

existence. With a performance heritage stretching back six decades, the Corvette has been offered in numerous<br />

specialty packages for both street and competition use, many of which now rank among the world's most<br />

valuable collector cars. Award-winning author and photographer David Newhardt tells the full story of these<br />

legendary machines in 300-plus photos of 50 potent Corvettes, from the original 1953 roadsters right up to the<br />

high-performance, high-tech beasts Chevrolet builds today, like the supercharged ZR-1, one of the fastest cars<br />

ever built for use on public roads. With hundreds of photos and concise, entertaining profiles, this is a book for<br />

every Corvette enthusiast.<br />

CROSSING THE LINE<br />

SANDERSON, DEREK<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Derek Sanderson was a key player with the Big Bad Bruins in the 1970s. At one point the highest-paid athlete in<br />

the world, Sanderson played with and against the era’s legends, winning two Stanley Cups and assisting on<br />

Bobby Orr’s famous diving goal in 1970. Off the ice, “Turk” was one of a kind. He drove a burgundy Rolls-Royce,<br />

wore a fox coat and, when asked what winning the Stanley Cup meant to him said, “The difference in the money<br />

is whether I take a college chick to Cape Cod or a Playmate to France.” But behind the glory, Sanderson was an<br />

alcoholic and an addict. He bottomed out, losing it all, and ended up sleeping under bridges. At one point he was<br />

so sick, he had to use crutches to walk.<br />

CUSTER<br />

MCMURTRY, LARRY<br />

In this lavishly illustrated volume, Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry, the American West's greatest chronicler,<br />

delivers a defining portrait of the life and legacy of the West's most legendary figure, George Armstrong Custer.<br />

On June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry attacked a large Lakota Cheyenne village on<br />

the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory. He lost not only the battle but also his life--and the lives of all his<br />

men. It was the U.S. Army's worst defeat in the long and bloody Plains Indian War. Yet with no survivors and only<br />

unreliable Indian accounts, "Custer's Last Stand" reached mythic proportions and achieved Custer's name<br />

immortality. Larry McMurtry has long been fascinated by Custer and his rightful place in history, and in "Custer,"<br />

he examines how the "Boy General," who graduated last in his class at West Point, went on to earn distinction in<br />

the Civil War and rose through the ranks. In McMurtry's hands, Custer is brought to life in all his complexity--as<br />

the perpetually restless man whose complicated marriage, hunger for glory, and unwavering confidence in his<br />

abilities led him to ignore the warnings of scouts and comrades at Little Big Horn. In this engaging, handsomely<br />

illustrated volume, McMurtry not only delivers an honest assessment of Custer's legacy, demonstrating how<br />

through his power of personality, and as a product of his times, he achieved eternal fame, but also redefines our<br />

understanding of the American West.<br />

DARWIN: PORTRAIT OF A GENIUS<br />

JOHNSON, PAUL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Darwin’s revolutionary career is the perfect vehicle for historian Paul Johnson. Marked by the insightful<br />

observation, spectacular wit, and highly readable prose for which Johnson is so well regarded, Darwin brings the<br />

gentleman-scientist and his times brilliantly into focus. From Darwin’s birth into great fortune to his voyage<br />

aboard the Beagle, to the long-delayed publication of his masterpiece, Johnson delves into what made this<br />

Victorian gentleman into a visionary scientist—and into the tragic flaws that later led Darwin to support the<br />

burgeoning eugenics movement.<br />

DAYS OF DESTRUCTION, DAYS OF REVOLT<br />

HEDGES, CHRIS & SACCO, JOE<br />

With illustrations by award-winning comic artist Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges portrays a suffering nation on the cusp<br />

of widespread revolt and addresses Occupy Wall Street in his first book since the international protests began.<br />

In the tradition of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Hedges and Sacco travel to the depressed pockets of the<br />

United States to report on recession-era America. What they find in Camden, New Jersey, the devastated<br />

coalmines of West Virginia, on the Lakota reservation in South Dakota, and in undocumented farmworker<br />

colonies in California is a thriving neofeudalism. With extraordinary on-the-ground reportage and illustration,<br />

Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt provides a terrifying glimpse of a future for America and the nations that<br />

follow her lead--a future that will be avoided with nothing short of revolution.<br />

THE DEADLY SISTERHOOD<br />

FRIEDA, LEONIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The book is one of drama on a grand scale, a Renaissance epic, as Christendom emerged from the shadows of<br />

the calamitous 14th century. The sweeping tale involves inspired and corrupt monarchs, the finest thinkers, the<br />

most brilliant artists, and the greatest beauties in Christendom. Here are the stories of its most remarkable<br />

women, who are all joined by birth, marriage and friendship and who ruled for a time in place of their men-folk:<br />

Lucrezia Turnabuoni (Queen Mother of Florence, the power behind the Medici throne), Clarice Orsini (Roman<br />

princess, feudal wife), Beatrice d'Este (Golden Girl of the Renaissance), Caterina Sforza (Lioness of the<br />

Romagna), Isabella d'Este (the Acquisitive Marchesa), Giulia Farnese ('la bella', the family asset), Isabella<br />

d'Aragona (the Weeping Duchess) and Lucrezia Borgia (the Virtuous Fury).<br />

DEARIE: THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF JULIA CHILD<br />

SPITZ, BOB<br />

A fearless, ambitious, supremely confident woman, Julia Child took on all the pretensions that embellished tony<br />

French cuisine and fricasseed them to a fare-thee-well, paving the way for everything that has happened since in<br />

American cooking, from TV dinners and Big Macs to sea urchin foam and the Food Channel. Julia Child’s story,<br />

however, is more than the tale of a talented woman and her sumptuous craft. It is also a saga of America’s<br />

coming of age and growing sophistication, from the Depression Era to the turbulent sixties and the excesses of<br />

the eighties to the greening of the American kitchen. Julia had an effect on and was equally affected by the baby<br />

boom, the sexual revolution, and the start of the women’s liberation movement. On the centenary of her birth,<br />

Julia finally gets the biography she richly deserves. An in-depth, intimate narrative, full of fresh information and<br />

insights, Dearie is an entertaining, all-out adventure story of one of our most fascinating and beloved figures.<br />

DECISIONS<br />

TRELIVING, JIM<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Jim Treliving is a police officer turned pizza king. An affable prairie boy, he took the leap from the RCMP and<br />

started to build a global empire. In his first book, Jim shows why today, he’s not only surviving, he’s thriving in a<br />

volatile 20th-century global market. For Treliving, success involves hard work and taking a measured, principled<br />

approach to making decisions, because successful people make decisions and act. Unsuccessful people freeze<br />

in the face of choice. Decisions is for budding entrepreneurs and fans of the CBC’s Dragons’ Den, for those who<br />

want the story behind the scenes. But it’s also for people who want to understand how lasting success is built<br />

and how steady wealth is created. It’s for people who want to make wiser decisions in business and in life, and<br />

become true leaders in their chosen field.<br />

DEEP LEADERSHIP<br />

Some people are born leaders. The rest of us find ourselves in positions where leadership is required. Selfdescribed<br />

"accidental leader" Dr. Joe MacInnis found himself in such a situation: deep beneath the ice of the<br />

Arctic Ocean. Starting with his undersea explorations, this physician, scientist, author and motivational speaker<br />

shares an accessible--and obtainable--list of leadership traits inspired by his own journey and the icons he's<br />

learned from over the years. Deep Leadership is an eminently digestible book with short lessons and anecdotes.<br />

THE DEVIL'S CURVE<br />

KOPECKY, ARNO<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In June 2009, 60 soldiers slipped into the thorn-covered bush above Devil's Curve, a notorious bend in the twolane<br />

highway connecting Peru's northern Amazon to the outside world. The soldiers had orders to dislodge the<br />

3,000 Awajun natives who had been camped at Devil's Curve for the past 57 days. The subsequent clash was<br />

deadly. This blockade formed a crucial link in a series of protests that had shut down transport and industry<br />

across the entire Peruvian Amazon -- the third-largest tract of rainforest on earth, covering more than half the<br />

country. At issue was the lease of three-quarters of the jungle to foreign oil and mining interests over the<br />

previous decade. The Devil's Curve untangles the story behind the deadly stand of the Awajun people -- and the<br />

Canadian gold mine that provoked their drastic action.<br />

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF DARKNESS<br />

BURLEY, ROBERT<br />

Over the past decade, photographer Robert Burley has traveled the world documenting the abandonment and<br />

destruction of film-based photography, namely, the factories where film was produced and the labs that<br />

developed it. Burley's atmospheric large-format photographs transport viewers to rarely seen sites where the<br />

alchemy of the photographic process was practiced over the last century-from the Polaroid plant in Waltham,<br />

Massachusetts to the Kodak-Pathé plant in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, the birthplace in 1827 of photography<br />

itself. As both fine art and documentary, The Disappearance of Darkness is an elegiac reflection on the resilience<br />

of traditional art forms in the digital era and a vital commemoration of a century-old industry that seems to have<br />

disappeared overnight.<br />

Everywhere we look, we see a Tim Hortons restaurant. Double Double is the first book to look at the company<br />

from a wide angle, from the life of co-founder, Tim Horton, to the growth of the business under the steady hand<br />

of his friend and partner, Ron Joyce, after Horton’s death, to the company’s merger with the American fast-food<br />

chain Wendy’s and its eventual repatriation to Canada. A fascinating business story, Double Double also reveals<br />

how the franchising operation works, how the company has become an important element of Canadian politics,<br />

the American expansion of the chain and why Canadians are so dedicated to its menu. Double Double also<br />

examines the many challenges Tim Hortons is facing in maintaining its status as one of Canada’s most<br />

respected consumer brands in an increasingly competitive business.<br />

Journalist Elizabeth Nickson was forced to subdivide her small forest on Salt Spring, an island in the Pacific<br />

North West. To do so, she needed the Islands Trust to grant her the “right” to build one more house on<br />

her twenty-eight acres. Her long and expensive struggle with the extreme greens who dominate rural life almost<br />

everywhere led her to investigate the broader impact of the environmental movement on ordinary men and<br />

women in North America and around the world. Nickson explores how the environmental movement has<br />

changed the way we interact with nature and documents how it is hurting communities everywhere.<br />

EDIBLE SELBY<br />

SELBY, TODD<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Photographer Todd Selby is back, this time focusing his lens on the kitchens, gardens, homes, and restaurants<br />

of more than 40 of the most creative and dynamic figures working in the culinary world today. He takes us behind<br />

the scenes with Noma chef René Redzepi in Copenhagen; to Tokyo to have a slice with pizza maker Susumu<br />

Kakinuma; and up a hilltop to dine at an inn without an innkeeper in Valdobbiadene. Each profile is accompanied<br />

by watercolor illustrations and a handwritten questionnaire, which includes a signature recipe. Reveling in the<br />

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CANADIAN ORGANIZED CRIME<br />

EDWARDS, PETER & AUGER, MICHAEL<br />

Respected crime reporters Peter Edwards and Michel Auger have pooled their research and expertise to create<br />

The Encyclopedia of Canadian Organized Crime. Sometimes grim, sometimes amusing, and always<br />

entertaining, this book is filled with 300 entries and more than 150 illustrations, covering centuries of organized<br />

crime. From pirates such as "Black Bart," who sheltered in isolated Newfoundland coves to strike at the shipping<br />

lanes between Europe and the North American colonies, all the way to the most recent influx of Russian<br />

mobsters, who arrived after the end of the Cold War in 1989 and are now honing their sophisticated<br />

technological skills on the Western public, Edwards and Auger enumerate the personalities and the crimes that<br />

have kept Canadian law enforcement busy. Here too are the Sicilian and Calabrian gangs, the American and<br />

Colombian drug connections, the bikers whose internal struggles have left innocent bystanders dead (and who<br />

tried to murder Auger), as well as many unexpected figures, such as the Sundance Kid, who spent years in<br />

Canada.<br />

THE END OF MEN AND THE RISE OF WOMEN<br />

ROSIN, HANNA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that<br />

this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. At this unprecedented moment, by almost every measure,<br />

women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And “the end of men”—the title of<br />

Rosin’s Atlantic cover story on the subject—has entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedan’s “feminine<br />

mystique,” Simone de Beauvoir’s “second sex,” Susan Faludi’s “backlash,” and Naomi Wolf’s “beauty myth”<br />

once did. In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how this new state of affairs is radically shifting the<br />

power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex,<br />

children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology,<br />

Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple up—even kill—<br />

has turned the big picture upside down. And in The End of Men she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we<br />

can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.<br />

THE ENERGY OF SLAVES<br />

NIKIFORUK, ANDREW<br />

Ancient civilizations relied on shackled human muscle. It took the energy of slaves to plant crops, clothe<br />

emperors, and build cities. Nineteenth-century slaveholders viewed critics as as oil companies and governments<br />

now regard environmentalists. Yet the abolition movement had an invisible ally: coal and oil. As the world's most<br />

versatile workers, fossil fuels replenished slavery's ranks with combustion engines and other labor-saving tools.<br />

Since then, cheap oil has transformed politics, economics, science, agriculture, and even our concept of<br />

happiness. Many North Americans today live as extravagantly as Caribbean plantation owners. We feel entitled<br />

to surplus energy and rationalize inequality, even barbarity, to get it. But endless growth is an illusion.<br />

THE FAMINE PLOT<br />

COOGAN, TIM PAT<br />

During a Biblical seven years in the middle of the nineteenth century, Ireland experienced the worst disaster a<br />

nation could suffer. Fully a quarter of its citizens either perished from starvation or emigrated, with so many dying<br />

en route that it was said, "you can walk dry shod to America on their bodies." In this grand, sweeping narrative,<br />

Ireland''s best-known historian, Tim Pat Coogan, gives a fresh and comprehensive account of one of the darkest<br />

chapters in world history, arguing that Britain was in large part responsible for the extent of the national tragedy,<br />

and in fact engineered the food shortage in one of the earliest cases of ethnic cleansing. So strong was anti-Irish<br />

sentiment in the mainland that the English parliament referred to the famine as "God's lesson."<br />

FAR FROM THE TREE<br />

SOLOMON, ANDREW<br />

A brilliant and utterly original thinker, Andrew Solomon's journey began from his experience of being the gay<br />

child of straight parents. He wondered how other families accommodate children who have a variety of<br />

differences: families of people who are deaf, who are dwarfs, who have Down syndrome, who have autism, who<br />

have schizophrenia, who have multiple severe disabilities, who are prodigies, who commit crimes, who are<br />

transgender. Bookended with Solomon's experiences as a son, and then later as a father, this book explores the<br />

old adage that says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; instead some apples fall a couple of orchards away,<br />

some on the other side of the world. In twelve sharply observed and moving chapters, Solomon describes<br />

individuals who have been heartbreaking victims of intense prejudice, but also stories of parents who have<br />

embraced their childrens' differences and tried to change the world's understanding of their conditions.<br />

Solomon's humanity, eloquence, and compassion give a voice to those people who are never heard. A riveting,<br />

powerful take on a major social issue, Far from the Tree offers far-reaching conclusions about new families,<br />

academia, and the way our culture addresses issues of illness and identity.<br />

FEAR: ESSENTIAL WISDOM FOR GETTING THROUGH THE STORM<br />

HANH, THICH NHAT<br />

Renowned zen master and buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh explores the origins of fear and offers detailed<br />

practices on how we can remove its toxic presence from our lives. One of Thich Nhat Hanh’s true gifts is tapping<br />

into the contemporary issues that are troubling people while finding the most useful and transformative ways of<br />

responding to them. Framed by a lifetime of mindfulness in action, Thich Nhat Hanh explores the path to peace,<br />

happiness, and freedom within the context of fear. The wise Buddhist teacher shows how simple practices can<br />

help overcome the deadly grip of our emotional burdens and anxieties. The Nobel Peace Prize nominee reveals<br />

how happiness is not found in suppressing our emotions, but in purposefully living in a meditative and mindful<br />

state. In this way we can identify the source of pain that is responsible for our fear and cut it off from its roots so<br />

that the pain might subside. Without fear and anxiety, we can truly embrace the gifts of life.<br />

THE FIDDLER ON PANTICO RUN<br />

MOZINGO, JOE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Growing up, Joe Mozingo heard many stories about where his father’s family was from—Italy, Hungary, the<br />

Basque Country. Then one day, a colleague told him his name came from the African Congo, and that sent Joe,<br />

a blue-eyed, brown-haired white man, off on a journey to find the truth of his family roots. He discovered that he<br />

was descended from a slave brought to the Jamestown colony in 1644, Edward Mozingo, likely an African prince<br />

from the Kingdom of Kon, who was one of the only slaves to keep his African surname. Edward had sued for his<br />

freedom, becoming a tobacco farmer on a country road called Pantico Run in Northern Virginia and marrying a<br />

white woman from a landowning family, fathering one of the country’s first mixed race family lines. Research also<br />

showed he was a fiddler. Joe plunged deep into the scattered historical records, traveling all around the country<br />

meeting Mozingos black, white, and mixed race, and over to Africa to the depths of the Congo and the slave<br />

ports of Angola, to uncover the full family saga. In a beautifully crafted narrative of both personal discovery and<br />

historical revelation, he traces his ancestors from the burgeoning mixed-race society of colonial Virginia, through<br />

the brutal imposition of racial laws and the splitting of the lineage, as those who could pass for white distanced<br />

from their slave heritage. In Joe’s own line, Spencer lived as a white man, right down the road from James<br />

Madison, then moved west to chase America’s manifest destiny. His descendants fought on both sides of the<br />

Civil War, and some were abolitionists while others joined the KKK. Joe’s grandfather transplanted the family to<br />

Hollywood to find their own piece of the American dream.<br />

FORTUNE: THE GREATEST BUSINESS DECISIONS OF ALL TIME<br />

EDITORS OF FORTUNE MAGAZINE<br />

Decisions equal success - nothing happens until one is made. Businesses make millions of decisions every day.<br />

But once in a great while a leader makes a truly game-changing decision that shifts not only the strategy of a<br />

single company but how everyone does business. These big decisions are counter intuitive - they go against the<br />

conventional wisdom. In hindsight, taking a different direction may seem easy, but these bet-the-company moves<br />

involve drama, doubt and high tension. What made Apple's board bring back Steve Jobs to the company? How<br />

did J&J decide to recall every bottle of Tylenol after a poisoning scare that only involved a small batch of the<br />

drug? What made Henry Ford decide to double the wages of his auto workers and how did that change the<br />

American economy for the next century?<br />

ACKROYD, PETER<br />

The first in an extraordinary six-volume history, Foundation takes the reader from the primeval forests of<br />

England's prehistory to the death, in 1509, of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. Peter Ackroyd guides readers from<br />

the building of Stonehenge to the founding of the two great glories of medieval England: common law and the<br />

cathedrals. He shows glimpses of England's most distant past— a Neolithic stirrup found in a grave, a Roman<br />

fort, a Saxon tomb, a medieval manor house—and describes in rich prose the successive waves of invaders who<br />

made England English, despite being themselves Roman, Viking, Saxon, or Norman French.<br />

FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS IN PLAIN ENGLISH<br />

GUNARATANA, BHANTE<br />

In simple and straightforward language, Bhante Gunaratana shares what the Buddha said about mindfulness in<br />

his instructional talks and how we can use these principles to improve our daily lives, deepen our mindfulness,<br />

and move closer to our spiritual goals. While this book is based on a classic text, the Satipatthana Sutta, its<br />

presentation is thoroughly modern in Bhante’s trademark “plain English” style. Based around one of the<br />

Buddha's must succinct yet rich explanations of meditation, The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain<br />

English can be read as a stand-alone volume either before or after the bestselling Mindfulness in Plain English.<br />

Newcomers will find it lays strong groundwork for mindfulness practice, and old hands will find rich subtleties and<br />

insights that will help consolidate and clarify what they may have started to see for themselves.<br />

THE FRACTALIST<br />

MANDELBROT, BENOIT<br />

Benoit Mandelbrot, the creator of fractal geometry, has significantly improved our understanding of, among other<br />

things, financial variability and biological rhythms. His work reveals hidden order in what was once perceived as<br />

rough, unpredictable, or chaotic. In The Fractalist, Mandelbrot recounts the high points of his life with<br />

exuberance and an eloquent fluency, deepening our understanding of the evolution of his extraordinary mind.<br />

We begin with his early years: born in Warsaw in 1924 to a Lithuanian Jewish family, Mandelbrot was mentored<br />

by an eminent mathematician uncle in Paris. As he stayed barely one step ahead of the Nazis until France was<br />

liberated, he studied geometry on his own and dreamed of using it to solve fresh, real-world problems. We<br />

observe his unusually broad education in Europe, and then at Cal Tech, Princeton, and MIT. We learn about his<br />

thirty-five-year affiliation with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and his association with Harvard and<br />

Yale. An outsider to mainstream scientific research, he managed to do what others had thought impossible:<br />

develop a new geometry that combines revelatory beauty with a radical way of unfolding formerly hidden laws<br />

governing utter roughness, turbulence, and chaos.<br />

Combining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the optimistic arguments of Everything<br />

a new model of political change is on the rise, transforming everything from local governments to classrooms,<br />

from protest movements to health care. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this new political worldview --<br />

influenced by the success and interconnectedness of the Internet, but not dependent on high-tech solutions --<br />

that breaks with the conventional categories of liberal or conservative thinking.<br />

THE GENTLE GIANT OF DYNAMITE HILL<br />

LEE, HELEN SHORES<br />

These are the firsthand accounts of sisters Helen and Barbara Shores growing up with their father, Arthur<br />

Shores, a prominent Civil Rights attorney, during the 60s in the Jim Crow south Birmingham district---a frequent<br />

target of the Ku Klux Klan. Between 1948 and 1963, some 50 unsolved Klan bombings happened in Smithfield<br />

where the Shores family lived, earning their neighborhood the nickname 'Dynamite Hill.' Due to his work, Shores'<br />

daughter, Barbara, barely survived a kidnapping attempt. Twice, in 1963, Klan members bombed their home,<br />

sending Theodora to the hospital with a brain concussion and killing Tasso, the family's cocker spaniel. The<br />

family narrowly escaped a third bombing attempt on their home in the spring of 1965. The Gentle Giant of<br />

Dynamite Hill is an incredible story of a family's unfair suffering, but also of the Shores' overcoming. This family's<br />

sacrificial commitment, courage, determination, and triumph inspire us today through this story and the selfless<br />

service, work, and lives of Helen Shores Lee and Barbara Sylvia Shores.<br />

A GEOGRAPHY OF BLOOD<br />

SAVAGE, CANDACE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

When Candace Savage and her partner buy a house in the romantic little town of Eastend, she has no idea what<br />

awaits her. At first she enjoys exploring the area around their new home, including the boyhood haunts of the<br />

celebrated American writer Wallace Stegner, the backroads of the Cypress Hills, the dinosaur skeletons at the<br />

T.Rex Discovery Centre, the fossils to be found in the dust-dry hills. She also revels in her encounters with the<br />

wild inhabitants of this mysterious land -- two coyotes in a ditch at night, their eyes glinting in the dark; a deer at<br />

the window; a cougar pussy-footing it through a gully a few minutes' walk from town. But as Savage explores<br />

further, she uncovers a darker reality -- a story of cruelty and survival set in the still-recent past -- and finds that<br />

she must reassess the story she grew up with as the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of<br />

prairie homesteaders.<br />

THE GLITTER AND THE GOLD<br />

BALSAN, CONSUELO VANDERBILT<br />

Consuela Vanderbilt was young, beautiful, and heir to a vast fortune. She was also in love with an American<br />

suitor when her mother chose instead for her to marry an English Duke. She sailed to England as the Duchess<br />

of Marlborough in 1895 and took up residence in her new home—Blenheim Palace. She was the real American<br />

heiress who lived long before Downton Abbey’s Lady Grantham arrived. Mme. Balsan is an unsnobbish<br />

and amused observer of the intricate hierarchy both upstairs and downstairs and a revealing witness to the<br />

glittering balls, huge weekend parties, and major state occasions she attended or hosted chronicling her<br />

encounters with every important figure of the day—from Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra to<br />

Tsar Nicholas and the young Winston Churchill.<br />

THE GLUTEN-FREE TABLE<br />

LAGASSE, JESSIE & JILLY<br />

Imagine growing up with a father known for his rich, Louisana-style cooking who instilled you with a love and<br />

appreciation of food from the very start-- the centerpiece of every memory is food. Now image literally not being<br />

able to eat his dishes anymore. This is what happened to Jessie and Jilly Lagasse. In 2001 and 2004<br />

respectively, the girls were diagnosed with gluten allergies. They had to learn to adjust, which meant changing<br />

the way they ate, the way they cooked, learning to plan ahead, and paying attention to ingredients in new ways.<br />

For example, traditional New Orleans gumbo relies on roux-- a flour and fat base. After years of experimentation<br />

and searching, finally, Jessie and Jilly have figured out how to make this and so many other recipes gluten-free!<br />

ROBINSON, GENE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

From the Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected<br />

(in 2003) to the historic episcopate and the world's leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay<br />

marriage—a groundbreaking book that lovingly and persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage using a<br />

commonsense, reasoned, religious argument, made by someone who holds the religious text of the Bible to be<br />

holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion, equally familiar<br />

with the secular and political debate going on in America today, and for whom same-sex marriage is a personal<br />

issue; <strong>Robinson</strong> was married to a woman for two decades and is a father of two children and has been married<br />

to a man for the last four years of a twenty-three-year relationship.<br />

GOSSIP FROM THE FOREST<br />

MAITLAND, SARA<br />

Fairytales are one of our earliest and most vital cultural forms, and forests one of our most ancient and primal<br />

landscapes. Both evoke a similar sensation in us - we find them beautiful and magical, but also spooky,<br />

sometimes horrifying.In this fascinating book, Maitland argues that the two forms are intimately connected: the<br />

mysterious secrets and silences, gifts and perils of the forests were both the background and the source of<br />

fairytales. Yet both forests and fairy stories are at risk and their loss deprives us of our cultural lifeblood. Maitland<br />

visits forests through the seasons, from the exquisite green of a beechwood in spring, to the muffled stillness of<br />

a snowy pine wood in winter. She camps with her son Adam, whose beautiful photographs are included in the<br />

book; she takes a barefoot walk through Epping Forest with Robert Macfarlane; she walks with a mushroom<br />

expert through an oak wood, and with a miner through the Forest of Dean.<br />

GOVERNING THE WORLD<br />

MAZOWER, MARK<br />

The Napoleonic Wars showed Europe what sort of damage warring states could do. But how could sovereign<br />

nations be made to share power and learn to look beyond their own narrow interests? The old monarchs had<br />

one idea. Mazzini and the partisans of nationalist democracy had another, and so did Marx and the radical Left.<br />

It is an argument that has raged for two hundred years now, and Mark Mazower tells its history enthrallingly in<br />

Governing the World. With each era, the stakes have grown higher as the world has grown smaller and the<br />

potential rewards to cooperation and damage from conflict have increased. We are at the end of an era,<br />

Mazower explains, and we are passing into a new age of global power relations, a shift whose outcome is still<br />

very much in question.<br />

THE GUERILLA FACTORY<br />

SCHWALM, TONY<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The Navy has the SEALs and the Army has the Green Berets. They are masters of counterinsurgency warfare,<br />

trained to immerse themselves in hostile territory, sleeping near their enemies and building relationships with<br />

people who want to kill them. In this book, retired lieutenant colonel Tony Schwalm takes readers behind the<br />

scenes of the legendary camp in the North Carolina woods, which all Special Forces soldiers must pass before<br />

they can become leaders in this brotherhood of unconventional warriors. The Special Forces Qualification<br />

Course, also known as the Q Course, is infamous in the U.S. Army. It transforms conventional soldiers, with<br />

blood, sweat, and tears, into unconventional guerrillas. As a young soldier, the author earned his Green Beret<br />

there. Later, he was the commander of Special Forces officer training at Fort Bragg, evaluating and redesigning<br />

the crucible in which leaders face brutal tests of physical strength, stamina, and wits, and where men are pushed<br />

to the point of hallucination, walk until their feet are bloody, and fight packs of angry dogs with nothing but a<br />

rubber rifle.<br />

an overt focus on pain, and the materialism of its founder. It is also distinguished by impressive results—elite<br />

athletes swear by it, body-conscious supermodels swoon for it.<br />

HELLO GORGEOUS: BECOMING BARBRA STREISAND<br />

MANN, WILLIAM J.<br />

In 1960, Barbra Streisand was just a seventeen-year-old Jewish kid with plenty of talent and even<br />

more ambition. Four years later, she had taken over Broadway as the star of Funny Girl and had three platinum<br />

albums. In Hello, Gorgeous, Mann charts that climb to fame. He takes us back to her formative years: her<br />

relationship with her mother, her early lovers, and her husband, Elliott Gould. With access to the previously<br />

sealed private collections of Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and many others, Mann lays out the first-ever<br />

accurate account of the making of Funny Girl, fills in an incomplete record of Streisand's early nightclub and<br />

television appearances, and takes us behind the scenes of the canny marketing team whose strategies made<br />

her stardom seem inevitable. He also re-creates a vibrant piece of New York theatrical history—the dinner clubs<br />

and the birth of Off-Off-Broadway.<br />

HERBERT HAS LOTS FOR A BUCK<br />

MCLACHLIN, ELIZABETH<br />

Canada in the twenty-first century is a place of growth and expansion. Cities like Vancouver and Toronto have<br />

become word class destinations for business and tourism. Meanwhile, smaller, less prominent communities face<br />

changes of different sorts, as residents depart for the opportunities present in our country’s largest cities.<br />

Nowhere is this more apparent than in Canada’s prairie provinces. Despite changes in population and the loss of<br />

such essential services as schools, post offices, and grain elevators, many of Canada’s oldest prairie<br />

communities—communities like Craik and Meacham in Saskatchewan, and Vulcan in Alberta—have defied the<br />

odds, facing death only to rise again.<br />

HIDDEN LIVES: COMING OUT ON MENTAL ILLNESS<br />

ROWNTREE, LENORE<br />

In this groundbreaking collection, well-known and cutting-edge authors bring to light life with mental illness.<br />

These evocative essays, by writers who either suffer from or have close family members diagnosed with mental<br />

illness or a developmental disorder, aim to break down the stigma that surrounds one of the most devastating of<br />

human tribulations. The writers recount their experiences with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism,<br />

obsessive-compulsive disorder, clinical depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative identity<br />

disorder. What does it feel like to be psychotic? What sorts of thoughts go through your mind while you are killing<br />

yourself? How does a mother go on after her schizophrenic son throws himself into an unfinished construction<br />

site? The anthology drills to the core of compassion and disappointment—transcending hope and sometimes<br />

finding beauty in insanity.<br />

HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI<br />

HAM, PAUL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed more than 100,000 instantly, mostly women,<br />

children and the elderly. Many hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries later, or slowly<br />

perished of radiation-related sickness. Ham describes the political manoeuvring and the scientific race to build<br />

the new atomic weapon. He also gives powerful witness to its destruction through the eyes of eighty survivors,<br />

from 12-year-olds forced to work in war factories to wives and children who faced it alone, reminding us that<br />

these two cities were full of ordinary people who suddenly, out of a clear blue summer's sky, felt the sun fall on<br />

their heads.<br />

SCHLIESMANN, PAUL<br />

A car is pulled from the Rideau Canal near Kingston, Ontario, containing the bodies of three girls-- sisters<br />

Zainab, Sahar, and Geeti Shafia-- along with their presumed aunt, Rona Amir Mohammad. Later in the day, after<br />

family members report the women missing, Kingston police become suspicious. The stories told by parents<br />

Tooba Mohammad Yahya and Mohammad Shafia, and their eldest son, Hamed, don't match up with the rapidly<br />

gathering evidence. Police begin to suspect that this is a quadruple "honour killing," planned and carried out to<br />

wipe away the family's shame caused by the eldest girls. Two years later, Mohammad Shafia, Tooba<br />

Mohammad Yahya, and Hamed Shafia are tried for the mass murders, while a shocked nation follows the case<br />

until its gripping conclusion.<br />

HOW TO LOVE WINE<br />

ASIMOV, ERIC<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

For many people, wine is an anxiety-inducing mystery as arcane as quantum physics. With so many varieties,<br />

it’s difficult to know what to choose. That puzzling uncertainty often prevents people from buying and ordering<br />

wine, depriving them of an exquisite, deeply satisfying experience, argues New York Times wine critic Eric<br />

Asimov. In How to Love Wine, he examines why the American wine culture produces such feelings of anxiety<br />

and suggests how readers can overcome fears and develop a sense of discovery and wonder as they explore<br />

the diversity and complexity of the world of wine. With warmth, candor, and intelligent authority, Asimov<br />

interweaves his professional knowledge and insights with charming personal stories of his love affair with wine, a<br />

lifelong passion that began when he was a graduate student on a budget.<br />

I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had is television, screen and stage star Tony Danza's absorbing<br />

account of a year spent teaching tenth-grade English at Northeast High -- Philadelphia's largest high school with<br />

3600 students. Entering Northeast's crowded halls in September of 2009, Tony found his way to a classroom<br />

filled with twenty-six students who were determined to cut him no slack. They cared nothing about "Mr. Danza's"<br />

showbiz credentials, and they immediately put him on the hot seat.<br />

INSPIRE ME WELL<br />

BELANGER, LISAS<br />

What inspires people to live a healthy lifestyle? Is it to prolong their expiration date or is there something more?<br />

The benefits of a healthy lifestyle are countless; there is no debate there. Yet the majority of us continue to<br />

struggle with motivation and barriers to living healthily. There is a disconnect between knowledge and behaviour<br />

that is only getting worse. We propose a dash of inspiration.Inspire Me Well takes an in-depth look at the<br />

inspiration behind behaviour change through stories of people who were inspired to make daily choices to<br />

promote their health and well-being. Through these stories, we can learn how to find inspiration from difficult<br />

situations and how to overcome barriers to optimal health. Interspersed between these inspirational stories are<br />

tips and suggestions based on the latest research from an Exercise/Behaviour Change Expert and a Registered<br />

Dietitian, inspiring readers to take action in their own lives.<br />

INTERVENTIONS: A LIFE IN WAR AND PEACE<br />

ANNAN, KOFI<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The first sub-Saharan African national to hold the position of secretary-general, Annan has led an incredible life,<br />

an amazing story in its own right. Annan’s idealism and personal politics were forged in the Ghana independence<br />

movements of his adolescence, when all of Africa seemed to be waking from centuries of imperial slumber.<br />

Schooled in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Europe, Annan ultimately joined the United Nations in Geneva as<br />

the lowest level civil servant in the still young organization. Yet Annan rose rapidly through the ranks, and by the<br />

end of the Cold War he was prominently placed in the rapidly changing department of peacekeeping. As Annan<br />

shows the successes of the United Nations around the world, he also reveals the organization’s missed<br />

opportunities and ongoing challenges—thwarted actions in the Rwanda genocide, continuing violence between<br />

Israelis and Palestinians, the endurance of endemic poverty, and much else. Yet Annan’s great strength in this<br />

book is his ability to embed these tragedies within the context of global politics; demonstrating how, time and<br />

again, the nations of the world have retreated from the UN’s radical mandate. Ultimately, Annan shows readers a<br />

world in which solutions are always available, in which all we lack is the will and courage to see them through.<br />

ISAAC'S ARMY: THE JEWISH RESISTANCE IN OCCUPIED POLAND<br />

BRZEZINSKI, MATTHEW<br />

Based on first-person accounts from diaries, interviews, and surviving relatives, Isaac’s Army chronicles the<br />

triumphs and setbacks that befell the Jewish underground from its earliest acts of defiance in 1939 to the exodus<br />

to Palestine in 1946. This is the remarkable true story of the Jewish resistance from the perspective of those who<br />

led it: Isaac Zuckerman, the confident and charismatic twenty-four-year-old founder of the Jewish Fighting<br />

Organization; Simha Ratheiser, Isaac’s fifteen-year-old bodyguard, whose boyish good looks and seeming<br />

immunity to danger made him an ideal courier; and Zivia Lubetkin, the warrior queen of the underground who,<br />

upon hearing the first intimations of the Holocaust, declared: “We are going to defend ourselves.” Joined by<br />

allies on the left and right, they survived Gestapo torture chambers, smuggled arms, ran covert printing presses,<br />

opened illegal schools, robbed banks, executed collaborators, and fought in the two largest rebellions of the war.<br />

JAMIE OLIVER'S GREAT BRITAIN<br />

OLIVER, JAMIE<br />

Having grown up in his parents’ gastropub, Jamie Oliver has always had a special place in his heart for British<br />

cooking. And in recent years there’s been an exciting revolution in the British food world in general. English<br />

chefs, producers, and artisans are retracing old recipes, rediscovering quality ingredients, and focusing on<br />

simplicity and quality. Jamie celebrates the best of the old and new (including classic British immigrant food) in<br />

his first cookbook focused on England. Here are over 130 great, easy-to-prepare recipes, ranging from salads—<br />

Heavenly Salmon and Epic Roast Chicken; to puddings—Rhubarb and Rice Pudding and Citrus Cheesecake<br />

Pots; to Sunday lunch—Guinness Lamb Shanks and Roast Quail Skewers; and, of course, the crumbliest<br />

scones. America has already fallen for the new British gastropub cooking, with popular restaurants by chefs such<br />

as April Bloomfield of The Spotted Pig and the John Dory. Now Jamie shows how to make the same delicious<br />

food at home. This is definitely not your grandmother’s mushy peas!<br />

teams. As much as he mixed it up in front of the net, he often found himself in the middle of controversy off the<br />

ice as well, and more than ever now as a hockey broadcaster and media personality, Roenick lights up call-in<br />

show phone lines with his rare mix of raw wit and cutting commentary. In J.R., Roenick reveals all, from his youth<br />

hockey days commuting across the continent, to his time with the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers and<br />

his other teams, to skating with the American team in international competition.<br />

KAFFE FASSETT: DREAMING IN COLOR<br />

FASSETT, KAFFEE<br />

Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he<br />

spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and<br />

transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After<br />

attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the<br />

School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an<br />

inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis,<br />

Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized<br />

the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics,<br />

rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies,<br />

Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate<br />

autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of<br />

glorious photos taken along the way.<br />

THE KIND OF LIFE IT'S BEEN<br />

ROBERTSON, LLOYD<br />

For sixty years, Lloyd Robertson appeared on Canadian television screens as a journalist and an anchor,<br />

bringing us the major events of his day. The longest-serving TV news anchor in Canadian history, first on CBC<br />

and then on CTV, Robertson remains one of the most accomplished journalists of our time. His career is truly the<br />

story of Canada over the past half century, as he told us about key events like the moon landing, JFK's<br />

assassination, Trudeaumania, Terry Fox's run, the Montreal Massacre, 9/11 and the royal weddings. In The Kind<br />

of Life It's Been, Robertson shares the inside story and the insights he has gained over his long career, from<br />

breaking into the business in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, to joining the CBC, to his highly public<br />

departure for CTV to his career as senior editor of CTV News. Filled with fascinating and often hilarious<br />

anecdotes about Robertson's career, this book captures the essential tales of our time and is a must for any<br />

Canadian interested in the inner workings of a frenetic newsroom.<br />

THE LAST LION<br />

REID, PAUL<br />

Spanning the years of 1940-1965, this biography picks up shortly after Winston Churchill became Prime<br />

Minister-when his tiny island nation stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany. The Churchill<br />

conjured up by William Manchester and Paul Reid is a man of indomitable courage, lightning fast intellect, and<br />

an irresistible will to action. Reid brilliantly recounts how Churchill organized his nation's military response and<br />

defense; compelled FDR into supporting America's beleaguered cousins, and personified the "never surrender"<br />

ethos that helped the Allies win the war, while at the same time adapting himself and his country to the inevitable<br />

shift of world power from the British Empire to the United States.<br />

LEADING FROM BEHIND<br />

MINITER, RICHARD<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In Leading from Behind, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Richard Miniter presents the first<br />

book to explore President Obama’s abilities as a leader, by unearthing new details of his biggest successes and<br />

failures. Based on exclusive interviews and never-before-published material, Leading from Behind investigates<br />

the secret world of the West Wing and the combative personalities that shape historic events. Contrary to the<br />

White House narrative, which aims to define Obama as a visionary leader, Leading from Behind reveals a<br />

president who is indecisive, moody, and often paralyzed by competing political considerations. Many victories—<br />

as well as several significant failures—during the Obama presidency are revealed to be the work of strong<br />

women, who led when the president did not: then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and<br />

Valerie Jarrett, his closest adviser and an Obama family confidante, whose unusual degree of influence has<br />

been a source of conflict with veteran political insiders.<br />

LIVING BEAUTIFULLY WITH UNCERTAINTY AND CHANGE<br />

CHODRON, PEMA<br />

Is it possible to live well when the very ground we stand on is shaky? Yes, says everyone's favorite Buddhist<br />

nun, it's even possible to live beautifully, compassionately, and happily on shaky ground—and the secret is: the<br />

ground is always shaky. Pema shows how using a traditional Buddhist practice called the Three Vows or Three<br />

Commitments is a way to relax into profound sanity in the midst of whatever non-sanity is happening around us.<br />

Just making these simple aspirations can change the way we look at the world and can provide us with a lifetime<br />

of material for spiritual practice. The three commitments are three methods for embracing the chaotic, uncertain,<br />

dynamic, challenging nature of our situation as a path to awakening. The first of the commitments, traditionally<br />

called the Pratimoksha Vow, is the foundation for personal liberation. This is a commitment to doing our best to<br />

not cause harm with our actions or words or thoughts, a commitment to being good to each other. It provides a<br />

structure within which we learn to work with our thoughts and emotions, and to refrain from speaking or acting<br />

out of confusion. The next step toward being comfortable with groundlessness is a commitment to helping<br />

others, traditionally called the Bodhisattva Vow. It is a commitment to dedicate our lives to keeping our hearts<br />

and minds open, and nurturing our compassion with the longing to ease the suffering of the world. The last of the<br />

three commitments, traditionally known as the Samaya Vow, is a resolve to embrace the world just as it is,<br />

without bias; a resolve to see everything we encounter, good and bad, pleasant and painful, as a manifestation<br />

of awakened energy. It is a commitment to see everything and anything as a means by which we can awaken<br />

further.<br />

THE MAN IN THE RED SUIT<br />

TEMPLETON, BRUCE<br />

During the past 33 years, St. John's businessman Bruce Templeton has devoted the month of December to<br />

visiting children and assisting Santa Claus. At school parties, country clubs, or in the critical-care unit of<br />

hospitals, young people ask him profound questions about Santa Claus and the true meaning of Christmas.<br />

Templeton has collected hundreds of stories and questions during more than 1000 visits – some of them curious,<br />

some happy, and some heartbreaking. In his memoir of three decades he shares some of the most unforgettable<br />

questions. Templeton always tries to bring hope and joy through his visits, but he often finds it is the children who<br />

change his life and the lives of those who assist him on these extraordinary journeys.<br />

MARMEE & LOUISA<br />

LAPLANTE, EVE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Since its release nearly 150 years ago, Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women has been a mainstay in<br />

American literature, while passionate Jo March and her calm, beloved “Marmee” have shaped generations of<br />

young women. Biographers have consistently credited her father, Bronson Alcott, for Louisa’s professional<br />

success, assuming that this outspoken idealist was the source of her progressive thinking and remarkable<br />

independence. But in this riveting dual biography, Eve LaPlante explodes those myths, drawing on unknown and<br />

unexplored letters and journals to show that Louisa’s “Marmee,” Abigail May Alcott, was in fact the intellectual<br />

and emotional center of her daughter’s world. It was Abigail who urged Louisa to write, who inspired many of her<br />

stories, and who gave her the support and courage she needed to pursue her unconventional path. Abigail, long<br />

dismissed as a quiet, self-effacing companion to her famous husband and daughter, is revealed here as a<br />

politically active feminist firebrand, a fascinating thinker in her own right. Examining family papers, archival<br />

documents, and diaries thought to have been destroyed, LaPlante paints an exquisitely moving and utterly<br />

convincing portrait of a woman decades ahead of her time—and the fiercely independent daughter who was both<br />

inspired and restricted by her mother’s dreams of freedom.<br />

MASTERS OF DISASTER<br />

LEHANE, CHRISTOPHER<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Whether you're a politician in the spotlight, a multinational corporation, or just the guy in the corner cubicle who<br />

has inadvertently pushed "reply all," a crisis is often a make-or-break moment and must be addressed carefully<br />

and immediately, since virtually everything is at stake. More and more high-profile executives, companies, and<br />

publicists are looking for the magic formula that will not only protect them from disaster but deliver them when<br />

the worst strikes. Based on work they have done for scandal-dogged clients like Bill Clinton, Goldman Sachs,<br />

and Lance Armstrong, Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani show how to get the media on your side, meet your<br />

detractors head-on, and emerge from a setback looking better than ever. Full of both lively anecdotes and hardknuckled<br />

straight talk, this is a must-read for executives, politicians, and anyone else who needs to think fast<br />

under the microscope.<br />

MASTER OF THE MOUNTAIN: THOMAS JEFFERSON AND HIS SLAVES<br />

WIENCEK, HENRY<br />

So far historians have offered only easy irony or paradox to explain this extraordinary Founding Father who was<br />

an emancipationist in his youth and then recoiled from his own inspiring rhetoric and equivocated about slavery,<br />

who enjoyed his renown as a revolutionary leader yet kept some of his own children as slaves. But Wiencek’s<br />

Jefferson is a man of business and public affairs who makes a success of his debtridden plantation thanks to<br />

what he calls the “silent profits” gained from his slaves—and thanks to a skewed moral universe that he and<br />

thousands of others readily inhabited. We see Jefferson taking out a slave-equity line of credit with a Dutch bank<br />

to finance the building of Monticello and deftly creating smoke screens when visitors are dismayed by his<br />

apparent endorsement of a system they thought he’d vowed to overturn. It is not a pretty story. Slave boys are<br />

whipped to make them work in the nail factory at Monticello that pays Jefferson’s grocery bills. Parents are<br />

divided from children—in his ledgers they are recast as money—while he composes theories that obscure the<br />

dynamics of what some of his friends call “a vile commerce.”<br />

MASTERY<br />

GREENE, ROBERT<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

What did Charles Darwin, middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to become one of the earliest<br />

and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar<br />

Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force’s last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene’s fifth book, he mines the<br />

biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Picking up<br />

where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical<br />

anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world’s masters. Temple Grandin,<br />

Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller—all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one<br />

thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads.<br />

Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement<br />

and supremacy. Fans of Greene’s earlier work and Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers will eagerly devour this canny<br />

and erudite explanation of just what it takes to be great.<br />

MEDUSA'S GAZE AND VAMPIRE'S BITE<br />

KAPLAN, MATT<br />

We all know “there’s no such thing as monsters,” but our imaginations may hold a different opinion. Matt Kaplan,<br />

a noted science journalist and enthusiast of both the hard facts of science and the fantastic fictions of myth,<br />

employs an entertaining mix of cutting-edge research and a love of lore to explain why monsters have held us in<br />

such thrall for millennia. Ranging across history, Medusa’s Gaze and Vampire’s Bite tackles the questions that<br />

arise on the frontier between reality and fantasy. What caused ancient Minoans to create the tale of the Minotaur<br />

that was imprisoned in a subterranean maze? Did dragons really exist? What inspired the creation of vampires<br />

and werewolves, and why have they endured as figures of horror? Kaplan also brings readers to the forefront of<br />

scientific discoveries that potentially verify some of the monsters we have always taken for granted. Does the<br />

legendary Kraken, a squid of epic proportions, really roam the deep? Are we close to actually replicating a<br />

dinosaur from DNA taken from fossilized amber as Jurassic Park postulates? As society’s fears have changed,<br />

monsters have evolved, and the author charts the rise of a new beast, humans.<br />

MORE BATHS LESS TALKING<br />

HORNBY, NICK<br />

"Read what you enjoy, not what bores you," Nick Hornby tells us. That simple, liberating, and indispensable<br />

directive animates each installment of the celebrated critic and author's monthly column in the Believer. In this<br />

delightful and never-musty tour of his reading life, Hornby tells us not just what to read, but how to read. Whether<br />

tackling a dismayingly bulky biography of Dickens while his children destroy something in the next room, or<br />

getting sucked into a serious assessment of Celine Dion during an intensely fought soccer match featuring his<br />

beloved Arsenal, or devouring an entire series of children's books while on vacation, Hornby's reviews are rich,<br />

witty, and occasionally madcap. These essays capture the joy and ire, the despair and exhilaration of the booklover's<br />

life, and will appeal equally to both monocle-wearing salonnieres and people, like him, who spend a lot of<br />

time thinking about Miley Cyrus's next role.<br />

MOSSAD: THE GREATEST MISSIONS OF THE ISRAELI SECRET SERVICE<br />

BAR-ZOHAR, MICHAEL<br />

The Mossad is widely recognized today as the best intelligence service in the world. It is also the most<br />

enigmatic, shrouded in secrecy. Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service brings to light the<br />

defining and most dangerous operations that have shaped Israel and the world at large from the agency’s more<br />

than sixty-year history, among them: the capture of Eichmann, the eradication of Black September, the legendary<br />

rescue of the Ethiopian Jews, the destruction of the Syrian nuclear facility, and the elimination of key Iranian<br />

nuclear scientists.<br />

MY MOTHER WAS NUTS<br />

MARSHALL, PENNY<br />

At the age of twenty-six, Penny Marshall was a divorced mother of one living in the Bronx. One year later she<br />

starred in a Head & Shoulders commercial (she was the one with the dandruff) with Farah Fawcett. So began<br />

the unlikely career of one of Hollywood's most accomplished directors. My Mother Was Nuts tells the story of<br />

Marshall's incredible life, from her starring role on the classic sitcom Laverne and Shirley to her trailblazing<br />

moment as the first woman to direct a movie grossing more than $100 million at the box office. The book is a<br />

behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood life, exploring her friendships with John Belushi, Lorne Michaels, Art<br />

Garfunkel, and Carrie Fisher, her marriage and eventual divorce from Rob Reiner, and her experiences working<br />

with Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, Geena Davis, Denzel Washington, and Drew Barrymore.<br />

THE MYTH OF THE MUSLIM TIDE<br />

SAUNDERS, DOUG<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Even among people who would never subscribe to its more dramatic claims, the "Eurabia" movement has<br />

popularized a set of seemingly common-sense assumptions about Muslim immigrants to the West: that they are<br />

disloyal, that they have a political agenda driven by their faith, that their nhigh reproduction rates will soon make<br />

them a majority. These beliefs are poisoning politics and community relations in Europe and North America--and<br />

have led to mass murder in Norway. Rarely challenged, these claims have even slipped into the margins of<br />

mainstream politics. Doug Saunders believes it's time to debunk the myth that immigrants from Muslim countries<br />

are wildly different and pose a threat to the West. Drawing on voluminous demographic, statistical, scholarly and<br />

historical documentation, Saunders examines the real lives and circumstances of Muslim immigrants in the<br />

West: their politics, their beliefs, their observances and their degrees of assimilation. In the process he shatters<br />

the core claims that have built a murderous ideology and draws haunting historical parallels showing how the<br />

same myths stuck to earlier groups, such as Jews and Roman Catholics. His work will become a vital handbook<br />

in the culture wars that threaten to dominate North American and European elections and media discussions in<br />

2012 and afterwards, and will provoke considerable debate over the actual nature of our polyglot societies.<br />

MY LIFE IN POLITICS<br />

CHIRAC, JACQUES<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Along with Mikhail Gorbachev, Helmut Kohl, and Francois Mitterand, Jacques Chirac is one of the most iconic<br />

statesmen of the twentieth century. Two-time president of France, mayor of Paris, and international politician, a<br />

recent poll voted him the most admired political figure in France, with current president Nicolas Sarkozy ranking<br />

in 32nd place. This memoir covers the full scope of Chirac's political career of more than 50 years and includes<br />

the last century's most significant events. A protégé of General de Gaulle, Chirac started political life after<br />

France's defeat in Algeria in the early 1960s. He then became Prime Minister George de Pompidou's "bulldozer"<br />

and a personal negotiator with Saddam Hussein for France's oil interests in the Persian Gulf. He sold Iraq its first<br />

nuclear reactor and incurred the wrath of the United States and Israel, which he discusses in striking detail. As<br />

mayor of Paris, Chirac was famed for his success in beautifying the City of Lights and keeping it whole during<br />

the heady days of the 1968 riots. As president in the 1990s and early 2000s, Chirac took controversial steps to<br />

privatize the economy and plan the European Union. Chirac seldom pulls punches and in several dramatic<br />

chapters describes his opposition to the US invasion of Iraq in 2002 and his personal meetings with George W.<br />

Bush. These landmark events are brought into sharp focus in this memoir that the popular French magazine<br />

Paris Match said "steals the show" even after its author decamped the presidential palace.<br />

NELSON<br />

SUGDEN, JOHN<br />

Nelson: we think that we are familiar with the man behind the name. But, in this second volume of his<br />

authoritative biography, John Sugden delves behind the myths, strips back the apocrypha, and reveals a figure<br />

both intimately familiar and greatly estranged. Sugden interweaves graphic accounts of the well-known battles of<br />

the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar with Nelson's lesser-known but equally gripping campaigns to liberate the<br />

Italian states from French domination, his role in the blockade of Malta and his turbulent relations with the<br />

volatile Barbary powers, often snatching remarkable triumphs from crippling reverses. But behind his military<br />

prowess was a man riven with paradoxes and schisms at the very heart of his personal life.<br />

A NEW HISTORY OF THE WORLD<br />

MARR, ANDREW<br />

Andrew Marr, author of two best-selling histories of Great Britain now turns his attention to the world as a whole.<br />

A Short History of the World takes readers from the Mayans to Mongolia, from the kingdom of Benin to the court<br />

of the Jagiellonian kings of Poland. Traditional histories of this kind have tended to be Euro-centric, telling<br />

mankind's story through tales of Greece and Rome and the crowned heads of Europe's oldest monarchies.<br />

Here, Marr widens the lens, concentrating as much, if not more on the Americas, Africa and Asia. Instead of<br />

focusing on one episode of history taking place in one place, he draws surprising parallels and makes<br />

fascinating connections, focusing on a key incident or episode to tell a larger story: for instance, the liberation of<br />

the serfs in Russia, which took place at the same time as the American Civil War, which resulted in the abolition<br />

of slavery in the US. But he begins the account with an episode in the life of Tolstoy, who racked up huge<br />

gambling debts and had to sell land and slaves as a result.<br />

NOBLE SAVAGES<br />

CHAGNON, NAPOLEON<br />

Napoleon Chagnon began his research on the Yanomamö in 1964, ultimately spending the equivalent of five<br />

years among them, one of the last isolated large tribal groups still living in conditions found at the beginning of<br />

the agricultural revolution. His groundbreaking bestselling book Yanomamö made Chagnon a household name<br />

among students of anthropology. Rather than finding the Yanomamö to be Rousseau’s “noble savages,” he<br />

discovered them to be a violent society. Men who killed others had the most wives and offspring, their violence<br />

giving them an advantage in evolutionary terms. The prime reasons for violence, Chagnon found, were to<br />

avenge deaths and, if possible, abduct women. Politically correct cultural anthropologists in the United States<br />

refused to accept Chagnon’s empirical observations, and for his scientific integrity he was attacked by those who<br />

could not acknowledge an evolutionary basis for human behavior. Chagnon was the subject of a scathing<br />

popular book, and the American Anthropological Association condemned him, but later reversed its<br />

condemnation after undertaking a more careful review.<br />

NOSTRADAMUS<br />

GERSON, STEPHANE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Whenever we enter a new era, whenever the premises of our worldview are questioned or imperiled,<br />

Nostradamus offers certainty and solace. In 1666, guests at posh English dinner parties discussed his quatrains<br />

about the Great Fire of London. In 1942, the Jewish writer Irène Némirovsky latched her hopes for survival in<br />

Nazi-occupied France to Nostradamus’ prediction that the war would soon end. And on September 12, 2001,<br />

teenagers proclaimed on the streets of Brooklyn that “this guy, Nostradamus” had seen it coming. In his new<br />

book about this fascinating figure, Stephane Gerson takes readers on a journey through the life and after-life of<br />

Michel de Nostrademe, the Renaissance astrologer who became known as Nostradamus, the man whose<br />

Prophecies have been pored over, interpreted, and finally been transformed into The Gospel of Doom for the<br />

modern age. In moving beyond Nostradame's life to chronicle the interest in his prophecies over the ages,<br />

Gerson's book chronicles not only the man himself, but the hold his predictions still have over us today.<br />

OUR HARSH LOGIC: ISRAELI SOLDIERS' TESTIMONIES FROM THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES<br />

BREAKING THE SILENCE<br />

The very name of the Israel Defense Forces, which many Israelis speak of as "the most moral army in the<br />

world,"suggests that its primary mission is the defense of the country's territory. Indeed, both internationally and<br />

within Israel, support for the occupation of Palestinian territory rests on the belief that the army's actions and<br />

presence in the West Bank and Gaza are essentially defensive and responsive, aimed at protecting the country<br />

from terror. But Israeli soldiers themselves tell a profoundly different story. In this landmark work, which includes<br />

hundreds of soldiers' testimonies collected over a decade, what emerges is a broad policy that is anything but<br />

defensive. Powerful and incontrovertible, Our Harsh Logicis a supremely significant contribution to one of the<br />

world's most vexed conflicts.<br />

THE PALEO SLOW COOKER<br />

VARTANIAN, ARSY<br />

The Paleo diet has been the latest health movement, taking the low carb diet a step further by eliminating grains<br />

and legumes and eating only lean, grass-fed meat. In short they consume only what was available to ancient<br />

humans or cavemen. The theory says that by eating what human bodies were designed to eat, people will be<br />

healthier, have fewer illnesses and lose weight. In many cases, Paleo diet consumers are also fueling their P90X<br />

or Cross Fit exercise routines, the two most popular fitness regimes in the country. The health benefits have<br />

been supported by major studies. This is a popular trend much like the low carb diet. It is combined with the<br />

great bookselling topic of slow cooking. While the cavemen didn’t have slow cookers, they certainly used slow<br />

cooking techniques over fires which make the meals in this book one step closer to the origins and theory behind<br />

the diet. The delicious dishes are as homey as they are healthy—and ready when you are.<br />

PAST LIVES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS<br />

BROWNE, SYLVIA<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Unlike any other book Browne has written, Past Lives of the Rich and Famous addresses the past lives of<br />

celebrities we love. Previously Sylvia has written about what transpires after death, but now she explains what<br />

happens before birth. Alternately moving and very entertaining, this is a highly readable book that’s hard to put<br />

down. Following an explanation of how Sylvia communicates with her spirit guide, Francine, Past Lives of the<br />

Rich and Famous explains exactly what (often very surprising) lives some of our beloved celebrities lived in the<br />

past before the lives they’re living now.<br />

PATRIARCH: THE REMARKABLE LIFE AND TURBULENT TIMES OF JOSEPH P. KENNEDY<br />

NASAW, DAVID<br />

Joseph Patrick Kennedy—whose life spanned the First World War, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression,<br />

the Second World War, and the Cold War—was the patriarch of America’s greatest political dynasty. The father<br />

of President John F. Kennedy and senators Robert and Edward Kennedy, “Joe” Kennedy was an indomitable<br />

and elusive figure whose dreams of advancement for his nine children were matched only by his extraordinary<br />

personal ambition and shrewd financial skills. Trained as a banker, Kennedy was also a Hollywood mogul, a<br />

stock exchange savant, a shipyard manager, the founding chairman of the Securities and Exchange<br />

Commission, and ambassador to London during the Battle of Britain. Despite this, Joseph Kennedy has<br />

remained shrouded in rumor and prejudice for decades. This is his story.<br />

PERMANENT PRESENT TENSE<br />

CORKIN, SUZANNE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Permanent Present Tense tells the incredible story of Henry Gustav Molaison, known only as H. M. until his<br />

death in 2008. In 1953, at the age of twenty-seven, Molaison underwent a dangerous “psychosurgical”<br />

procedure intended to alleviate his debilitating epilepsy. The surgery went horribly wrong, and when Molaison<br />

awoke he was unable to store new experiences. For the rest of his life, he would be trapped in the moment. But<br />

Molaison’s tragedy would prove a gift to humanity. The amazing specificity of his impairment shed new light on<br />

the functions and structures of the human brain, revolutionizing neuroscience. Today, the case of H. M. stands as<br />

one of the most consequential and widely referenced in this fast-expanding field.<br />

THOMAS, GORDON<br />

Accused of being “silent” during the Holocaust, Pope Pius XII and the Vatican of World War II are now<br />

exonerated in Gordon Thomass newest investigative work, The Pope's Jews. Thomass careful research into<br />

new, first-hand accounts reveal an underground network of priests, nuns and citizens that risked their lives daily<br />

to protect Roman Jews. Investigating assassination plots, conspiracies, and secret conversions, Thomas unveils<br />

faked documentation, quarantines, and more extraordinary actions taken by Catholics and the Vatican. The<br />

Pope's Jews finally answers the great moral question of the War: Why did Pope Pius XII refuse to condemn<br />

the genocide of Europe's Jews?<br />

PORSCH<br />

MORGAN, PETER<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Born in the Bohemian town of Maffersdorf on September 3, 1875, Ferdinand Porsche displayed unparalleled<br />

automotive engineering genius from his earliest years, designing all-wheel-drive cars by 1900. At the age of just<br />

31, Porsche became the technical director of Austro-Daimler, at the time one of the world’s largest automobile<br />

manufacturers where Porsche designed some of the world’s most iconic cars, like the Mercedes-Benz<br />

Kompressor and Typ S models. No other sports car has achieved the success of those built by Porsche, on the<br />

street or on the world's racetracks. Part of Motorbooks' First Gear series, Porsche celebrates the German<br />

marque's history through lavishly illustrated profiles of the company's ground-breaking sports cars, each one<br />

supplemented with spec boxes and "did you know?" factoids.<br />

THE POWER OF WHY<br />

LANG, AMANDA<br />

Why are some people able to get so much more done in so much less time than others? Why do some<br />

companies flourish in tough times while others fail? Why are some countries more productive than others<br />

Through an entertaining mix of examples from the business world, insights from innovation gurus, little-known<br />

research, the experiences of business leaders and her own candid stories of life off-camera, Amanda Lang<br />

explains how asking the right questions has changed the world and how it can change you, too. From the<br />

invention of the curved shower curtain rod to the introduction of an elevator that creates electricity as it moves<br />

from floor to floor, The Power of Why persuasively spells out the connection between innovation and productivity<br />

that is so crucial in the knowledge economy Instead of obsessing over working “smarter,” we ought to focus on<br />

the instinctive urge to question that’s so natural for young children. As Lang shows, it’s possible to reignite that<br />

instinct at any age and to become more innovative and productive—as well as more fulfilled in our jobs and<br />

happier in our relationships. That’s the power of why.<br />

THE PRICE OF INEQUALITY<br />

STIGLITZ, JOSEPH<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

The top 1 percent of Americans control 40 percent of the nation's wealth. And, as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains,<br />

while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their<br />

fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." Stiglitz draws on his deep understanding of economics to<br />

show that growing inequality is not inevitable: moneyed interests compound their wealth by stifling true, dynamic<br />

capitalism. They have made America the most unequal advanced industrial country while crippling growth,<br />

trampling on the rule of law, and undermining democracy. The result: a divided society that cannot tackle its most<br />

pressing problems. With characteristic insight, Stiglitz examines our current state, then teases out its implications<br />

for democracy, for monetary and budgetary policy, and for globalization. He closes with a plan for a more just<br />

and prosperous future.<br />

THE PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR III<br />

DE GOEY, JOHN J.<br />

Sweeping changes have hit the financial services industry at the same time as more and more Canadians are<br />

turning to professionals to invest their money. Consumers want to work with qualified professionals, but are often<br />

left to work with narrow, product-based sales representatives. John J. De Goey argues that financial advisors<br />

need to change the way they do business. Instead of earning commissions for placing products, they need to<br />

begin charging fees for rendering services. In the process, advisors will be putting the interests of their clients<br />

ahead of the interests of their employers and product suppliers for the first time. In essence, De Goey is calling<br />

for the professionalization of the financial services industry. This new edition is updated to keep you on top of<br />

recent changes in the industry and is written in a more accessible manner. Whether you work in the financial<br />

services industry or are currently an investor, De Goey's book should be required reading. He makes complex<br />

issues understandable for consumers, and at the same time, encourages advisors to "do the right thing."<br />

RADIATION: WHAT IT IS, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW<br />

GALE, ROBERT PETER<br />

The universe and our galaxy and planet Earth were born in a nuclear explosion. We live on a radioactive planet,<br />

and without radiation there would be no life here. While radiation can be dangerous, it is also deeply<br />

misunderstood and often mistakenly feared. Now Dr. Robert Peter Gale—one of the world's leading experts on<br />

radiation—and Eric Lax set the record straight, correcting myths and establishing facts with an exceptional<br />

depth of knowledge and the ability to impart that knowledge in an impartial, lucid, and compelling manner.<br />

Demystifying society's trigger words for anxiety—uranium, plutonium, iodine-131, X-ray, CT scan, radiation of<br />

food—the authors explore the science, benefits, and risks of radiation exposure, drawing on the most up-to-date<br />

research and on Gale's extensive experience treating victims of radiation accidents around the globe. Here is an<br />

illuminating and essential guide to our post-Chernobyl, post-Fukushima world.<br />

CRISAFULLI, PATRICIA<br />

Eighteen years after the genocide that made Rwanda international news, but left it all but abandoned by the<br />

West, the country has achieved a miraculous turnaround. Rising out of the complete devastation of a failed state,<br />

Rwanda has emerged on the world stage yet again—this time with a unique model for governance and<br />

economic development under the leadership of its strong and decisive president, Paul Kagame. Here, Patricia<br />

Crisafulli & Andrea Redmond look at Kagame’s leadership, his drive for excellence and execution that draws<br />

comparisons to an American CEO and emphasizes the development of a sophisticated and competitive<br />

workforce that leverages human capital. In Rwanda, the ultimate turnaround, strong and effective leadership has<br />

made a measurable and meaningful difference. Rwanda’s progress offers an example for other developing<br />

nations to lift themselves out of poverty without heavy reliance on foreign aid through decentralization,<br />

accountability, self-determination, and self-sufficiency.<br />

John out school so he could help them cut wood in the bush. Sagkeeng Legends is a testament to John’s<br />

cultural literacy and a monument in the face of eroding Indigenous language and culture caused by centuries of<br />

colonization. Originally recorded by John’s wife, Josephine Courchene, in the early 1980s and reprinted here in<br />

both English and Anishanabemowin by Craig Fontaine, the stories in Sagkeeng Legends represent an important<br />

act of preserving and reintroducing Indigenous language and culture to a new generation.<br />

THE SEARCH FOR ANNE PERRY<br />

DRAYTON, JOANNE<br />

In 1994, director Peter Jackson released the film Heavenly Creatures, based on a famous 1950s matricide<br />

committed in New Zealand by two teenage girls embroiled in an obsessive relationship. This film launched<br />

Jackson's international career. It also forever changed the life of Anne Perry, an award-winning, bestselling crime<br />

writer, who at the time of the film's release was publically outed as Juliet Hulme, one of the murderers. A new<br />

light was now cast, not only on Anne's life, but also her novels, which feature gruesome and violent deaths, and<br />

confronting, dark issues including infanticide and incest. Acclaimed literary biographer, Joanne Drayton,<br />

intersperses the story of Anne's life with an examination of her writing, drawing parallels between Anne's own<br />

experiences and her characters and storylines. Anne's books deal with miscarriages of justice, family secrets<br />

exposed, punishment, redemption and forgiveness, themes made all the more poignant in light of her past. Anne<br />

has sold 25 million books worldwide and published in 15 different languages, yet she will now forever be known<br />

as a murderer who became a writer of murder stories. Drayton was been given unparalleled access to Anne, her<br />

friends, relatives, colleagues and archives to complete the book. The result is a compelling read which provides<br />

an understanding of the girl Anne was, the adult she became, her compulsion to write and her view of the world.<br />

SEVEN THOUSAND WAYS TO LISTEN<br />

NEPO, MARK<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Written in Nepo’s beautiful, lyrical style, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen traces the story of his own hearing loss<br />

while unfolding a deeper understanding of how to listen to the world around us and to honor its connections to<br />

our internal life and callings. A moving exploration of self and our relationship to others, the book unpacks the<br />

many ways we are called to redefine ourselves and to name what is meaningful as we move through the<br />

changes that come from experience and aging and the challenge of surviving loss. “Listening is the way we<br />

befriend the life we’re given,” Nepo writes, and he has structured the book around three lasting friendships: our<br />

friendship with wisdom, with experience, and with each other. By listening and tending to each, he explains, we<br />

can awaken to life and restore our vitality.<br />

SHAKESPEARE'S TREMOR AND ORWELL'S COUGH<br />

ROSS, JOHN J.<br />

Were Shakespeare's shaky handwriting, his obsession with venereal disease, and his premature retirement<br />

connected? Did John Milton go blind from his propaganda work for Oliver Cromwell, or did he have a rare and<br />

devastating complication of a very common eye problem? Did Jonathan Swift's preoccupation with sex and filth<br />

result from a neurological condition that might also explain his late-life surge in creativity? Were Herman<br />

Melville's disabling attacks of eye and back pain the product of nervous affections, or did he actually have a<br />

malady that was unknown to medical science until well after his death? Was Jack London a suicide, or was his<br />

death the product of a series of self-induced medical misadventures? Did James Joyce need several horrific eye<br />

operations because of a strange autoimmune disease acquired from a Dublin streetwalker?<br />

THE SHARK'S PAINTBRUSH<br />

HARMAN, JAY<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Today an interdisciplinary group of scientists, inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs are turning to nature's<br />

time-tested designs to innovate. The principle driving this transformation is called "biomimicry," and in a little over<br />

a decade, it has already created some powerfully profitable enterprises and become one of the most prolific<br />

business philosophies of our time. With genuine passion and keen insight, Harman presents a comprehensive<br />

view of how businesses, big and small, and aspiring entrepreneurs can borrow from natural models to invent<br />

lucrative and environmentally-friendly solutions to pressing industrial challenges.<br />

SHE MATTERS<br />

SONNENBERG, SUSANNA<br />

A ruthless and illuminating exploration of the friendships that dominated, influenced, nourished, inspired, haunted<br />

—and sometimes tore her apart—Susanna Sonnenberg has written a book as searing and superb as her first<br />

book about her mother, Her Last Death. Childhood friendships, friendships with older women, friendships that<br />

play out with the passion and intensity of love affairs, the friendships between new mothers—each has its own<br />

subtleties, its own lessons that Sonnenberg examines and understands with astounding acuity. Sonnenberg’s<br />

style is investigative and ruminative; the result is candid and fearlessly observed portraits of the nuances and<br />

complexities of friendships that become universally recognizable.<br />

THE SIGNAL AND THE NOISE<br />

SILVER, NATE<br />

Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can<br />

distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society,<br />

because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople<br />

mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If<br />

our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The<br />

more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the<br />

future.<br />

SIX MONTHS IN 1945<br />

DOBBS, MICHAEL<br />

When Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met in Yalta in February 1945, Hitler's armies were on the run, and victory<br />

was imminent. The Big Three wanted to draft a blueprint for a lasting peace—but instead they set the stage for<br />

a forty-four year division of Europe into Soviet and Western spheres of influence. After fighting side by side for<br />

nearly four years, their political alliance was beginning to fracture. Although the most dramatic Cold War<br />

confrontations such as the Berlin airlift were still to come, a new struggle for global hegemony had got underway<br />

by August 1945 when Truman used the atomic bomb against Hiroshima. Six Months in 1945 brilliantly captures<br />

this momentous historical turning point, chronicling the geopolitical twists behind the fall of the Iron Curtain, while<br />

illuminating the aims and personalities of larger-than-life political giants. It is a vividly rendered story of individual<br />

and national interests in fierce competition at a seminal moment in history.<br />

SOLDATEN: ON FIGHTING, KILLING, AND DYING<br />

NEITZEL, SOENKE<br />

On a visit to the British National Archive in 2001, Sonke Neitzel made a remarkable discovery: reams of<br />

meticulously transcribed conversations among German POWs that had been covertly recorded and recently<br />

declassified. Neitzel would later find another collection of transcriptions, twice as extensive, in the National<br />

Archive in Washington, D.C. These were discoveries that would provide a unique and profoundly important<br />

window into the true mentality of the soldiers in the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe, the German navy, and the military<br />

in general—almost all of whom had insisted on their own honorable behavior during the war. Collaborating with<br />

renowned social psychologist Harald Welzer, Neitzel examines these conversations—and the casual, pitiless<br />

brutality omnipresent in them—from a historical and psychological perspective, and in reconstructing the<br />

frameworks and situations behind these conversations, they have created a powerful narrative of wartime<br />

experience.<br />

SOME GIRLS, SOME HATS AND HITLER<br />

In London, in 1984, Trudi Kanter's remarkable memoir was published by N. Spearman. Largely unread, it went<br />

out of print until it was re-discovered by a British editor in 2011 and now, for the first time, it is available to<br />

readers everywhere. In 1938, Trudi Miller, stunningly beautiful, chic, and charismatic, was a hat designer for the<br />

best-dressed women in Vienna. She frequented cafes. She had suitors. She flew to Paris to see the latest<br />

fashions. And she fell deeply in love with Walter Ehrlich, a charming and romantic businessman. But as Hitler’s<br />

tanks roll into Austria, the world this young Jewish couple knows and loves collapses leaving them desperate to<br />

find a way to survive.<br />

THE SONG OF THE VIKINGS<br />

BROWN, NANCY MARIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Snorri Sturluson, the thirteenth-century Icelandic chieftain who gave us Odin, Loki, and Thor, was as unruly as<br />

the Norse Gods he createdMuch like Greek and Roman mythology, Norse myths are still with us. Famous<br />

storytellers from JRR Tolkien to Neil Gaiman have drawn their inspiration from the long-haired, mead-drinking,<br />

marauding and pillaging Vikings. Their creator is a thirteenth-century Icelandic chieftain by the name of Snorri<br />

Sturluson. Like Homer, Snorri was a bard, writing down and embellishing the folklore and pagan legends of<br />

medieval Scandinavia. Unlike Homer, Snorri was a man of the world—a wily political power player, one of the<br />

richest men in Iceland who came close to ruling it, and even closer to betraying it… In Song of the Vikings,<br />

award-winning author Nancy Marie Brown brings Snorri Sturluson’s story to life in a richly textured narrative that<br />

draws on newly available sources.<br />

STAR TREK: THE COMPLETE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY<br />

GREENBERGER, ROBERT<br />

This is the first book to combine an authoritative history of the Star Trek franchise—including all six television<br />

series and eleven feature films—with anecdotes about the show from those who helped shape it from the<br />

outside in: the fans. Star Trek expert Robert Greenberger covers everything from show creator Gene<br />

Roddenberry’s initial plans for a series combining science-fiction and Western elements, the premiere of the<br />

original series in 1966, its cancellation, the franchise’s return in an animated series, and its subsequent history<br />

on television and film, up to expectations for the 2013 J.J. Abrams film. Along the way, Greenberger analyzes<br />

Star Trek’s unique cultural impact and tremendous cult following, including the famous (and first ever) save-theshow<br />

mail campaign. But this isn't a sugarcoated history; this book chronicles the missteps as well as the<br />

achievements of Roddenberry and others behind the franchise.<br />

STONE THROWER<br />

RICHARDSON, JAEL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

At the age of thirty, Jael Ealey Richardson travelled with her father—former CFL quarterback Chuck Ealey—for<br />

the first time to a small town in southern Ohio for his fortieth high school reunion. Knowing very little about her<br />

father’s past, Richardson was searching for the story behind her father’s move from the projects of Portsmouth,<br />

Ohio to Canada’s professional football league in the early 1970s. At the railroad tracks where her father first<br />

learned to throw with stones, Jael begins an unexpected journey into her family’s past. In this engaging fatherdaughter<br />

memoir, Richardson records some her father’s never-before-told stories: his relationship with his<br />

absentee father, memories of his high school and college football victories – including a winning record that<br />

remains unbroken to this day – and his up-and-down relationship with the woman he would one day marry.<br />

THE STORY OF NAXOS<br />

In 1987, a budget classical record label was started in Hong Kong by Klaus Heymann, a German businessman<br />

who loved classical music. Swiftly, it gained a world wide reputation for reliable new digital recordings of the<br />

classics at a remarkably low price. Despite opposition from the classical record establishment, it grew at a<br />

remarkable pace and soon expanded into opera, early music, contemporary music and specialist repertoire so<br />

that it became appreciated by specialist collectors as well as the general music lover. At the heart of Naxos is<br />

one man: Klaus Heymann. The combination of his broad knowledge of classical music and his acute business<br />

acumen has enabled him to build the most varied classical music label in the world.<br />

STREETS OF FIRE<br />

MEOLA, ERIC<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Before Bruce Springsteen became The Boss, he was just a kid musician from New Jersey, playing at the City’s<br />

local stomping grounds and hawking tickets to his shows at $5.50 a pop. Photographer Eric Meola saw The<br />

Boss’s potential, having witnessed a glimmer of it at a 1973 show at Max’s Kansas City and later in 1975, after<br />

spending a day behind the lens, snapping photos of the young songwriter as they drove up and down Jersey’s<br />

legendary Highway 9. Meola “got” Springsteen so well that one of his shots—the image of Springsteen leaning<br />

on Clarence Clemons’ shoulder—would become the cover of the Born to Run album. Meola’s photo shoot with<br />

The Boss in 1977 was different. By that time, Springsteen was more firmly coming into his own, having won<br />

some critical acclaim and a legion of dedicated fans. Springsteen arrived at Meola’s New York City studio<br />

carrying a small paper bag with a change of clothes. His beard was gone; this was clearly a new stage in his life,<br />

a departure from Born to Run. Over the days that followed, Meola took several photographs of Springsteen, his<br />

lens adjusting to the new persona—Springsteen, the rock star—that emerged from the darkness.<br />

Blending history, science, and gripping storytelling, "Strong in the Rain" brings the 9.0 magnitude earthquake<br />

that struck Japan in 2011 and its immediate aftermath to life through the eyes of the men and women who<br />

it prompted, including that of David Chumreonlert, a Texan with Thai roots, trapped in his school's gymnasium<br />

with hundreds of students and teachers as it begins to flood, and Taro Watanabe, who thought nothing of<br />

returning to the Fukushima plant to fight the nuclear disaster, despite the effects that he knew would stay with<br />

him for the rest of his life. This is a beautifully written and moving account of how the Japanese experienced one<br />

of the worst earthquakes in history and endured its horrific consequences.<br />

THERE WAS A COUNTRY<br />

ACHEBE, CHINUA<br />

The defining experience of Chinua Achebe’s life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of<br />

1967–1970. The conflict was infamous for its savage impact on the Biafran people, Chinua Achebe’s people,<br />

many of whom were starved to death after the Nigerian government blockaded their borders. By then, Chinua<br />

Achebe was already a world-renowned novelist, with a young family to protect. He took the Biafran side in the<br />

conflict and served his government as a roving cultural ambassador, from which vantage he absorbed the war’s<br />

full horror. Immediately after, Achebe took refuge in an academic post in the United States, and for more than<br />

forty years he has maintained a considered silence on the events of those terrible years, addressing them only<br />

obliquely through his poetry. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering reckoning with one of modern<br />

Africa’s most fateful events, from a writer whose words and courage have left an enduring stamp on world<br />

literature.<br />

CROWLEY, CHRIS<br />

Chris Crowley, the memorable patient and coauthor of Younger Next Year, partners with Jen Sacheck, a<br />

nutritionist and exercise physiologist from Tufts University, and in lively, alternating chapters they spell out a<br />

weight-loss plan that will have readers lose up to 25 pounds in the first six months—and keep it off for life. The<br />

message is straightforward and based on the most up-to-date nutritional science: Avoid “dead,” i.e., nutrientpoor,<br />

foods, particularly the SOFAS (solid fats, added sugars) choices that comprise more than a third of our<br />

diet. Design your plate to be 50% vegetables and fruits, 25% whole grains, and 25% lean proteins. Skip the<br />

supplements. Never drink your calories. And exercise.<br />

TO SELL IS HUMAN<br />

PINK, DANIEL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. More than fifteen million<br />

people earn their keep by convincing someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth<br />

emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales—but so do the other eight out of nine. Whether we’re<br />

entrepreneurs persuading funders, employees pitching colleagues, or parents and teachers cajoling kids, we<br />

spend our days trying to move others. Today, like it or not, we’re all in sales. Or as Daniel H. Pink puts it,<br />

everyone is in the “moving business.”<br />

THE TOWER: AN EPIC HISTORY OF THE TOWER OF LONDON<br />

JONES, NIGEL<br />

Castle, royal palace, prison, torture chamber, execution site, zoo, mint, home to the crown jewels, armory, record<br />

office, observatory, and the most visited tourist attraction in the UK: The Tower of London has been all these<br />

things and more. No building in Britain has been more intimately involved in the island's story than this mighty,<br />

brooding stronghold in the very heart of the capital, a place which has stood at the epicenter of dramatic, bloody<br />

and frequently cruel events for almost a thousand years. Now historian Nigel Jones sets this dramatic story<br />

firmly in the context of national—and international—events. In a gripping account drawn from primary sources<br />

and lavishly illustrated with sixteen pages of stunning photographs, he captures the Tower in its many changing<br />

moods and its many diverse functions. Here, for he first time, is a thematic portrayal of the Tower of london not<br />

just as an ancient structure, but as a living symbol of the nation of Great Britain.<br />

THE TROUBLEMAKER<br />

NELSON, WILLIE<br />

Nashville 1971. As the year drew to a close, Willie Nelson wasn't exactly feeling the spirit of the season. A stalled<br />

career, music executives hounding him for a formulaic “Nashville Sound” hit, and, consequently, an unsettled<br />

personal life all contributed to his holiday blues. One day, he wrote, "What Can You Do to Me Now"? The next<br />

day, his house burned down. Willie saw it as a sign that things had to change, and from that moment on, he<br />

vowed he would blaze his own path, with his music and his life— no matter if any one else understood or<br />

approved. After that life-changing period, Willie began making music his own way. Heading back to his native<br />

Texas, he reinvented himself and resurrected his career, got back on the road, and penned songs that<br />

miraculously brought hippies, bikers, and rednecks together in one audience for the first time. That success<br />

would propel him to the top of the “outlaw movement”—an authentic “rebel” sound and attitude that defied<br />

Nashville’s traditional law-and-order authoritarianism—and seal his status as a beloved American folk hero. As<br />

they say, the rest is history—or as Willie says, “If you fail at something long enough, you become a legend.”<br />

UNCONSCIOUS BRANDING<br />

VAN PRAET, DOUGLAS<br />

For too long marketers have been asking the wrong question. If consumers make decisions unconsciously, why<br />

do we persist in asking them directly through traditional marketing research why they do what they do? They<br />

simply can’t tell us because they don’t really know. Before marketers develop strategies, they need to recognize<br />

that consumers have strategies too…human strategies, not consumer strategies. We need to go beyond asking<br />

why, and begin to ask how, behavior change occurs. Here, author Douglas Van Praet takes the most brilliant<br />

and revolutionary concepts from cognitive science and applies them to how we market, advertise, and consume<br />

in the modern digital age. Van Praet simplifies the most complex object in the known universe – the human<br />

brain – into seven codified actionable steps to behavior change.<br />

THE UNIVERSE WITHIN<br />

SHUBIN, NEIL<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In his last book, Neil Shubin delved into the amazing connections between human anatomy--our hands, our<br />

jaws--and the structures in the fish that first took over land 375 million years ago. Now, with his trademark clarity<br />

and exuberance, he takes an even more expansive approach to the question of why we are the way we are.<br />

Starting once again with fossils, Shubin turns his gaze skyward. He shows how the entirety of the universe's 14billion-year<br />

history can be seen in our bodies. From our very molecular composition (a result of stellar events at<br />

the origin of our solar system), he makes clear, through the working of our eyes, how the evolution of the cosmos<br />

has had profound effects on the development of human life on earth.<br />

UNTITLED MEMOIR<br />

LOVE, COURTNEY<br />

From her rocky relationship with her hippy parents to her days spent stripping to make ends meet to the truth<br />

behind her much-publicized drug abuse and recovery, Untitled is a riveting story, too crazy not to be true. It is a<br />

coming of age tale, beginning in the San Francisco and Portland counter-culture, maturing within the everevolving<br />

world of punk and grunge in the '80s and ‘90s, and revealing an artist who, time after time, found herself<br />

at the epicenter of alternative culture as it reached its tipping point. Nothing is off limits here, not her<br />

relationships with alternative rock icons Billy Corgan and Trent Reznor, nor her engagement to actor Ed Norton,<br />

and for the first time, her heavily scrutinized marriage to Kurt Cobain will be revealed as the tragic romance it<br />

truly was. While she doesn’t shy away from tales of excess, Courtney also goes deeper, offering unique insight<br />

into both the modern rock culture she indelibly shaped and her own soul. As it captures her perennial journey<br />

from the fringe of pop culture to the flaming center and back again—demonstrating Love’s flair for reinvention<br />

and her ability to stay relevant without losing her trenchancy. It is an honest portrait of Courtney Love, an<br />

outspoken, creatively dangerous, and undeniably entertaining artist and woman who continues to shape popular<br />

culture—and who will do so for years to come.<br />

HARPER, VALERIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Valerie Harper is finally ready to tell her story. In this, her first memoir, the beloved and award-winning television<br />

actress reflects on the role that made her famous—Rhoda Morgenstern on the groundbreaking series The Mary<br />

Tyler Moore Show and on the spin-off show Rhoda—and the pressures of helming her own sitcom, Valerie. From<br />

her childhood in New Jersey and upstate New York to the beginnings of her acting career as a dancer and<br />

VEGANISSIMO A TO Z<br />

PROCTOR AND THOMSEN<br />

What is veganissimo? It’s a new word, but it captures a desire more and more common in recent years: to be<br />

vegan to the highest possible standard, to live the most vegan life possible. It’s not an easy standard to meet in<br />

the modern industrialized world, where product labels boast conflicting, unclear, and even purposefully<br />

misleading claims, and animal-derived ingredients sneak into just about everything—not just food, but also<br />

cosmetics, clothing, cleaning products, photography, musical instruments, and even electronics.<br />

BOWMAN, ALISA<br />

A 4-week plan backed by the latest science that unlocks the key to melting fat for good.A staggering 70 percent<br />

of Americans are now vitamin D deficient. And almost 70 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Of all<br />

the variables we can control, vitamin D may play the most crucial role of all in controlling appetite and our natural<br />

ability to either store or burn fat. The answer is in what you eat. According to new, breakthrough research, you<br />

can nearly double your weight loss in the same amount of time, and zero in on your #1 trouble spot--your<br />

tummy--by maximizing one thing: vitamin D.<br />

WALKING THE AMAZON<br />

STAFFORD, ED<br />

In April 2008, Ed Stafford set off to become the first man ever to walk the entire length of the Amazon. He started<br />

on the Pacific coast of Peru, crossed the Andes Mountain range to find the official source of the river. His journey<br />

lead on through parts of Colombia and right across Brazil; all while outwitting dangerous animals, machete<br />

wielding indigenous people as well as negotiating injuries, weather and his own fears and doubts. Yet, Stafford<br />

was undeterred. On his grueling 860-day, 4,000-plus mile journey, Stafford witnessed the devastation of<br />

deforestation firsthand, the pressure on tribes due to loss of habitats as well as nature in its true-raw form. Jawdropping<br />

from start to finish, "Walking the Amazo""n" is as gripping as books by Bill Bryson, Jon Krakauer and<br />

David Grann. "Walking the Amazon" is the unforgettable story of an unprecedented adventure.<br />

WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU? AND OTHER RECENT CARTOONS BY AISLIN<br />

MOSHER, TERRY<br />

Was it good for you? It was really good for Aislin, nee Terry Mosher. Montreal’s infrastructure is crumbling at a<br />

faster rate than any city in North America – and there lurks Aislin amongst the thousands of orange construction<br />

cones, sketchbook in hand. Nationalism in Quebec would appear to be going through death throes while Aislin<br />

watches, just as he has since the beginning, pencil at the ready. And bully Stephen Harper finally has his<br />

majority, an event that Aislin will be caricaturing keenly, even after over forty years of watching Canadian Prime<br />

Ministers come and go. And then there are those rare quiet days in Canada when Aislin has a world full of events<br />

beyond our borders to draw upon. WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU? Is a collection of Aislin’s favourites drawn over the<br />

last three years. It is his 45th book. He is aiming for fifty.<br />

THE WHERE, THE WHY, THE HOW<br />

VOLVOVKSI, JENNY<br />

A science book like no other, The Where, the Why, and the How turns loose 75 of today's hottest artists onto<br />

life's vast questions, from how we got here to where we are going. Inside these pages some of the biggest (and<br />

smallest) mysteries of the natural world are explained in essays by real working scientists, which are then<br />

illustrated by artists given free rein to be as literal or as imaginative as they like. The result is a celebration of the<br />

wonder that inspires every new discovery. Featuring work by such contemporary luminaries as Lisa Congdon,<br />

Jen Corace, Neil Farber, Susie Ghahremani, Jeremyville, and many more, this is a work of scientific and artistic<br />

exploration to pique the interest of both the intellectually and imaginatively curious.<br />

It is unlikely in light of the severe limitations of his earthly life; it is inescapable because of the range of impact; it<br />

is unknown because history doesn't connect dots; and it is doubled-edged because his followers have wreaked<br />

so much havoc, often in his name. This is a new look at his like by the author of When the Game Is Over, It All<br />

For the 40th anniversary of what was arguably the single-most important sporting event in Canadian history, a<br />

writer shepherded Canadians of all backgrounds--artists, athletes, politicians, and pundits--shared interviews,<br />

anecdotes, and memories of September 28, 1972. The Summit Series between Soviet Russian and Canadian<br />

hockey teams is as much ingrained in Canadian culture as it is Canadian sports history, but its impact is much<br />

broader than one nation alone. In this exploration of the eventful "Game 8," the author recalls the epic struggle of<br />

the hockey players from both sides alongside myriad personal accounts. Fans of the sport from any puck-playing<br />

nation will appreciate the examination of the game that many think opened the door to North America for<br />

Russian and European hockey players.<br />

WINTER JOURNAL<br />

AUSTER, PAUL<br />

Facing his sixty-forth winter, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster decides to write a journal as he sees<br />

himself aging in ways he never imagined. Compellingly written, and with dreamlike logic and urgency, the<br />

autobiographical fragments and meditations produce an extraordinary mosaic of a life. Weaving together vividly<br />

detailed stories, Auster illuminates how each small incident comes to signify a whole. Also, there are two<br />

recurring moments: one of bodily terror -- his panic attack following his mother's death in 2002; the other of joy --<br />

his experience watching a dance piece in 1978 which releases him from writer's block just prior to his father's<br />

death. It was his father's death that began his first equally unconvential and internationally celebrated memoir,<br />

The Invention of Solitude, published thirty years ago. Now, Auster has included an unforgettable portrait of his<br />

mother. Winter Journal is a surprising and moving meditation on time, the body, the weight of memory, a long<br />

and fulfilling marriage (with author Siri Hustvedt), and language itself by one of the most interesting and elegant<br />

writers writing today, and one with a devoted following.<br />

WORLD WAR II<br />

STONE, NORMAN<br />

After the Great War, the United States and the nations of Europe longed for a lasting peace. As far as they were<br />

concerned, they had just experienced “the war to end all wars.” Over 15 million lay dead, and much of Europe<br />

had been reduced to rubble. The possibility of another such conflict was practically unthinkable. And yet within<br />

two decades of the signing of the Versailles Treaty, war broke out once again, on such a cataclysmic scale that it<br />

would forever transform international geopolitics. In World War Two, Norman Stone—one of the greatest living<br />

historians of the twentieth century—provides an unprecedentedly concise, utterly authoritative account of the<br />

deadliest war of human history.<br />

There was something about Ellie…Something dangerous. Charismatic. Broken. Jake looked out for her. Sarah<br />

followed her lead. And Jess kept her distance—and kept watch. Now Ellie’s dead, and Jake, Sarah, and Jess are<br />

left to pick up the pieces. All they have are thirty-four clues she left behind. Thirty-four strips of paper hidden in a<br />

box beneath her bed. Thirty-four secrets of a brief and painful life. Jake, Sarah, and Jess all feel responsible for<br />

what happened to Ellie, and all three have secrets of their own. As they confront the past, they will discover not<br />

only the darkest truths about themselves, but also what Ellie herself had been hiding all along….<br />

ADAPTATION<br />

LO, MALINDA<br />

Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash.<br />

Thousands of people die. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all flights, and millions of<br />

travelers are stranded. Reese and her debate team partner and longtime crush David are in Arizona when it<br />

happens. Everyone knows the world will never be the same. On their drive home to San Francisco, along a<br />

stretch of empty highway at night in the middle of Nevada, a bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over.<br />

When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won't tell them what happened, where they are--or how<br />

they've been miraculously healed. Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels<br />

like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence<br />

that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for<br />

the truth is forced in an entirely new direction--and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the<br />

government has worked for decades to keep secret.<br />

COOK, EILEEN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Sadie can’t wait to get away from her backwards small town, her delusional mom, her jailbird dad, and the tiny<br />

trailer where she was raised…even though leaving those things behind also means leaving Brendan. Sadie<br />

wants a better life, and she has been working steadily toward it, one con at a time. But when Sadie’s mother<br />

wipes out Sadie’s savings, her escape plan is suddenly gone. She needs to come up with a lot of cash—and fast<br />

—or she’ll be stuck in this town forever. With Brendan’s help, she devises a plan—the ultimate con—to get the<br />

money. But the more lies Sadie spins, the more she starts falling for her own hoax…and perhaps for the wrong<br />

boy. Sadie wanted to change her life, but she wasn't prepared to have it flipped upside down by her own<br />

deception. With her future at stake and her heart on the line, she has a lot more than money to lose ....<br />

Sarah Parsons has never seen Amber House, the grand Maryland estate that's been in her family for three<br />

centuries. But after her grandmother passes away, Sarah and her friend Jackson decide to search for the<br />

diamonds--and the House comes alive. She discovers that she can see visions of the House's past, like the<br />

eighteenth-century sea captain who hid the jewels, or the glamorous great-grandmother driven mad by grief.<br />

Sarah grows closer to both Jackson and a young man named Richard Hathaway, whose family histories are<br />

each deeply entwined with her own. But when her ghostly visions start to threaten the person she holds most<br />

dear, Sarah must do everything she can to get to the bottom of the House's secrets, and stop the course of<br />

history before it is cemented forever.<br />

KING, A.S.<br />

Astrid Jones copes with her small town's gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that<br />

she's sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard. Maybe they'll know what to<br />

do with it. Maybe it'll make them happy. Maybe they'll need it. Her mother doesn't want it, her father's always<br />

stoned, her perfect sister's too busy trying to fit in, and the people in her small town would never allow her to love<br />

the person she really wants to: another girl named Dee. There's no one Astrid feels she can talk to about this<br />

deep secret or the profound questions that she's trying to answer. But little does she know just how much<br />

sending her love--and asking the right questions--will affect the passengers' lives, and her own, for the better.<br />

WARMAN, JESSICA<br />

Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare kind of identical twins—so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom<br />

they’ve lived with since their parents passed away, can’t tell them apart. But the sisters are connected in a way<br />

that goes well beyond their surfaces: when one experiences pain, the other exhibits the exact same signs of<br />

distress. So when one twin mysteriously disappears, the other immediately knows something is wrong—<br />

especially when she starts experiencing serious physical traumas, despite the fact that nobody has touched her.<br />

As the search commences to find her sister, the twin left behind must rely on their intense bond to uncover the<br />

truth. But is there anyone around her she can trust, when everyone could be a suspect? And ultimately, can she<br />

even trust herself? Master storyteller Jessica Warman will keep readers guessing when everything they see—<br />

and everything they are told—suddenly becomes unreliable in this page-turning literary thriller.<br />

COHN, RACHEL<br />

Elysia is created in a laboratory, born as a sixteen-year-old girl, an empty vessel with no life experience to draw<br />

from. She is a Beta, an experimental model of a teenage clone. She was replicated from another teenage girl,<br />

who had to die in order for Elysia to exist. Elysia’s purpose is to serve the inhabitants of Demesne, an island<br />

paradise for the wealthiest people on earth. Everything about Demesne is bioengineered for perfection. Even the<br />

air induces a strange, euphoric high, which only the island’s workers—soulless clones like Elysia—are immune<br />

to. At first, Elysia’s life is idyllic and pampered. But she soon sees that Demesne’s human residents, who should<br />

want for nothing, yearn. But for what, exactly? She also comes to realize that beneath the island’s flawless<br />

exterior, there is an undercurrent of discontent among Demesne’s worker clones. She knows she is soulless and<br />

cannot feel and should not care—so why are overpowering sensations clouding Elysia’s mind? If anyone<br />

discovers that Elysia isn’t the unfeeling clone she must pretend to be, she will suffer a fate too terrible to<br />

imagine. When her one chance at happiness is ripped away with breathtaking cruelty, emotions she’s always<br />

had but never understood are unleashed. As rage, terror, and desire threaten to overwhelm her, Elysia must find<br />

the will to survive.<br />

has become a member of the Wizard Council of the Fells. Navigating the cut-throat world of blue blood politics<br />

is the queen, and despite the perils involved, Han finds it impossible to ignore his feelings for Raisa. Before long,<br />

Han finds himself in possession of a secret believed to be lost to history, a discovery powerful enough to unite<br />

the people of the Fells. But will the secret die with him before he can use it?<br />

Celia Reynolds is the youngest in a set of triplets and the one with the least valuable power. Anne can see the<br />

future, and Jane can see the present, but all Celia can see is the past. And the past seems so insignificant --<br />

until Celia meets Lo. Lo doesn't know who she is. Or who she was. Once a human, she is now almost entirely a<br />

creature of the sea -- a nymph, an ocean girl, a mermaid -- all terms too pretty for the soulless monster she<br />

knows she's becoming. Lo clings to shreds of her former self, fighting to remember her past, even as she's<br />

tempted to embrace her dark immortality. When a handsome boy named Jude falls off a pier and into the ocean,<br />

Celia and Lo work together to rescue him from the waves. The two form a friendship, but soon they find<br />

themselves competing for Jude's affection. Lo wants more than that, though. According to the ocean girls, there's<br />

only one way for Lo to earn back her humanity. She must persuade a mortal to love her . . . and steal his soul.<br />

where KT is despised for her talent, and where her parents are fixated on her brother’s future mathletics career<br />

rather than KT’s softball hopes. KT is desperate to get back to reality as she knew it, but bits and pieces of<br />

disturbing memories and dreams make her wonder if something truly awful happened there. What if she’s lost<br />

something a lot more important than a softball game?<br />

THE RAVEN BOYS<br />

STIEFVATER, MAGGIE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her<br />

clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a<br />

boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a<br />

rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known<br />

as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He<br />

has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest<br />

that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege<br />

around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four,<br />

who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she<br />

will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught<br />

up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore. From Maggie Stiefvater, the<br />

bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series<br />

where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.<br />

the locusts that now feed on human flesh. But Banyan isn't the only one looking for the trees, and he's running<br />

out of time. Unsure of whom to trust, he's forced to make an alliance with Alpha, a beautiful, dangerous pirate<br />

with an agenda of her own. As they race towards a promised land that might be a myth, Banyan makes shocking<br />

THRONE OF GLASS<br />

MAAS, SARAH<br />

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena<br />

Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must<br />

act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men—thieves and<br />

assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats<br />

her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her<br />

freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating.<br />

But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in<br />

her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants<br />

turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a<br />

victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could<br />

possibly have imagined.<br />

THROUGH TO YOU<br />

HAINSWORTH, EMILY<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Camden Pike has been grief-stricken since his girlfriend, Viv, died. Viv was the last good thing in his life: helping<br />

him rebuild his identity after a career-ending football injury, picking up the pieces when his home life shattered,<br />

and healing his pain long after the meds wore off. And now, he’d give anything for one more glimpse of her. But<br />

when Cam makes a visit to the site of Viv’s deadly car accident, he sees some kind of apparition. And it isn’t Viv.<br />

The apparition’s name is Nina, and she’s not a ghost. She’s a girl from a parallel world, and in this world, Viv is<br />

still alive. Cam can’t believe his wildest dreams have come true. All he can focus on is getting his girlfriend back,<br />

no matter the cost. But in this other world Viv and Cam have both made very different choices, things between<br />

them have changed in unexpected ways, and Viv isn’t the same girl he remembers. Nina is keeping some<br />

dangerous secrets, too, and the window between the worlds is shrinking every day. As Cam comes to terms with<br />

who this Viv has become and the part Nina played in his parallel story, he’s forced to choose: Stay with Viv or let<br />

her go—before the window closes between them once and for all.<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa—and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp—people can no<br />

longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while providing much-needed tissues<br />

for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding<br />

has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests involved. Cam is a product of<br />

unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A<br />

futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being<br />

can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam’s fate to become inextricably<br />

bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he’ll have to question humanity itself.<br />

Liyana has trained her entire life to be the vessel of a goddess. The goddess will inhabit Liyana’s body and use<br />

expects to die in the desert. Until a boy walks out of the dust in search of her. Korbyn is a god inside his vessel,<br />

and a trickster god at that. He tells Liyana that five other gods are missing, and they set off across the desert in<br />

search of the other vessels. For the desert tribes cannot survive without the magic of their gods. But the journey<br />

is dangerous, even with a god’s help. And not everyone is willing to believe the trickster god’s tale. The closer<br />

she grows to Korbyn, the less Liyana wants to disappear to make way for her goddess. But she has no choice:<br />

She must die for her tribe to live. Unless a trickster god can help her to trick fate—or a human girl can muster<br />

some magic of her own.<br />

No doubt about it, little brothers can be monsters. For sixth grader Jake Doolittle, those words are more than just<br />

an expression. Instead, they perfectly describe the way his adoptive brother, LD, sprouts pointy ears, thick fur,<br />

and fangs in moonlight. Not only is LD a monster.... Other monsters have plans for him. But together with his<br />

friend “Weird Lily” Carker, Jake isn’t about to let anything happen to the baby. The little guy is still his brother,<br />

even if it turns out that LD may be the key to saving the world—or destroying it.<br />

THE CALL TO BATTLE<br />

CHAN, GILLIAN<br />

It's 1812. War has begun, and thirteen-year-old Alexander (Sandy) MacKay is jealous when his older brother<br />

Angus goes off with their father to fight the Americans attacking the Niagara region. Too young to know the<br />

darker side of battle, he resents being left to shoulder the work on his family's farm. Itching to get in on the<br />

action, he sneaks away from home and heads to Lundy's Lane to join up with the local militia. But battle is<br />

imminent, and now there's not much his father can do except try to shield him from the worst of the fighting.<br />

Sandy's idealized notions of what battle will be like are shattered when the man standing before him is killed by a<br />

musket ball and Sandy's own brother is severely wounded. At the battle of Lundy's Lane, the united<br />

Canadian/British forces turn the tide against the American troops, but Sandy comes to know how chilling war can<br />

be. Just in time for the bicentennial of the War of 1812, A Call to Battle is a sobering look at the realities of war.<br />

Author Gillian Chan skillfully depicts the transformation of an impetuous young boy, full of boyish enthusiasm,<br />

into a more realistic young man who emerges on the other side of war.<br />

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS AND THE TERRIFYING RETURN OF TIPPY TINKLETROUSERS<br />

PILKEY, DAV<br />

When we last saw our heroes, George and Harold, they were under arrest and headed for prison. Then Harold<br />

foolishly uttered the fateful words "What could be worse than going to jail for the rest of our lives?" and changed<br />

the course of human history. In this ninth epic novel, Dav Pilkey takes readers back in time to the carefree days<br />

of kindergarten, when the worst thing George and Harold had to face was NOT evil mad scientists or alien<br />

cafeteria ladies but a sixth-grade bully named Kipper Krupp, the nephew of their clueless school principal. And<br />

because George and Harold don't actually invent Captain Underpants until fourth grade, the two clever<br />

kindergartners are on their own -- using their brains to beat the bully.<br />

Einstein really did have a daughter, Lieserl, whose 1902 birth and subsequent disappearance was shrouded in<br />

to the early 1900s to fix history, one of Lieserl’s parents seems to understand entirely too much about time travel<br />

and what Jonah and Katherine are doing. It’s not Lieserl’s father, either—it’s her mother, Mileva. And Mileva has<br />

no intention of letting her daughter disappear.<br />

even Scooby-Doo. When the school bully is framed for filling the orchestra teacher's tuba with macaroni and<br />

Mack shows us in his hilarious new illustrated series, is his own ineptitude . . . questionable talent . . . and limited<br />

intelligence. No problem!<br />

DARKBEAST<br />

KEYES, MORGAN<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In Keara’s world, every child has a darkbeast—a creature that takes dark emotions like anger, pride, and<br />

rebellion. Keara’s darkbeast is Caw, a raven, and Keara can be free of her worst feelings by transferring them to<br />

Caw. He is her constant companion, and they are magically bound to each other until Keara’s twelfth birthday.<br />

For on that day Keara must kill her darkbeast—that is the law. Refusing to kill a darkbeast is an offense to the<br />

gods, and such heresy is harshly punished by the feared Inquisitors. But Keara cannot imagine life without Caw.<br />

And she finds herself drawn to the Travelers, actors who tour the country performing revels. Keara is fascinated<br />

by their hints of a grand life beyond her tiny village. As her birthday approaches, Keara readies herself to leave<br />

childhood—and Caw—behind forever. But when the time comes for the sacrifice, will she be able to kill the<br />

creature that is so close to her? And if she cannot, where will she turn, and how can she escape the Inquisitors?<br />

zombies exist, they’re everywhere, and it’s her job to help police them and keep the peace. Sure, she’d like to be<br />

a regular kid, but given that her mother was the most revered (or feared, depending on your perspective) zombie<br />

hunter in the history of New York City, “regular” just isn’t possible. Molly’s got some legendary footsteps to follow<br />

When Ivan's mother disappears, he's abandoned on the streets of Moscow, with little chance to make it through<br />

When help is finally offered to him, will he be able to accept it? Will he even want to?<br />

Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have<br />

to do with the fact that mean girl Mackenzie has started writing a gossip column. And there just might be some<br />

joins the school newspaper staff—and ends up as an advice columnist! It’s fun at first, answering other kids’<br />

letters. But when Miss Know-It-All’s inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas for guidance, Nikki feels in need of<br />

some help herself. Fortunately she has BFFs Chloe and Zoey on her side—and at her keyboard!<br />

A FACE LIKE GLASS<br />

HARDINGE, FRANCIS<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies<br />

beyond compare - wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that<br />

convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for<br />

one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous<br />

Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear - at a price. Into this dark and distrustful<br />

world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that<br />

she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most<br />

skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed ...<br />

he did manage to save Vincent from a giant monster robot. It's Vincent's dream come true... until he finds out<br />

Captain Stupendous's secret identity: It's Polly Winnicott-Lee, the girl Vincent happens to have a crush on.<br />

Captain Stupendous's powers were recently transferred to Polly in a fluke accident, and so while she has all of<br />

his super strength and super speed, she doesn't know how to use them, and she definitely doesn't know all the<br />

strengths and weaknesses of his many nemeses. But Vincent and his friends are just the right fan club to train<br />

up their favorite superhero before he (she?) has to face Professor Mayhem again. And if they make it through<br />

this battle for the safety of Copperplate City, Vincent might just get up the courage to ask Polly on a date.<br />

Necessaries. In Artimé , Alex Stowe and his friends continue to hone their artistic magical spells while welcoming<br />

newcomers, wondering how long this peace between Quill and Artimé will last. Alex is stunned when Mr. Today<br />

comes to him with a very special request—one Alex questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a<br />

dramatic answer. And back in Quill, Aaron Stowe, Alex’s twin, faces a very different path. Devastated by his loss<br />

of status after Justine’s defeat and seething with rage toward Alex, Aaron is stealthily planning his revenge and<br />

return to power. Alex and Aaron’s separate stories proceed with suspenseful pacing, colliding in a stunning<br />

climax that elevates sibling rivalry to epic proportions and leaves the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance.<br />

MESSENGER, SHANNON<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect<br />

Telepath, someone who can read minds. But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she<br />

learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…<br />

she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and almost instantly she is forced to leave behind her<br />

family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.<br />

Time is short for Mack MacAvoy and the Magnifica! Mack hates doing homework (that's what golems are for),<br />

but it seems that the only way to defeat the Pale Queen and her evil daughter, Risky, is to learn the magical<br />

language of Vargran. If only ancient, magical languages came with cheat sheets. . . Oh! But they do! (Or at least,<br />

this one does. We can't speak for any other ancient, magical languages.) Mack, Jarrah, Xiao, Dietmar, and<br />

Stefan travel to Europe to find the Key, an engraved stone that unlocks the power of Vargran. But can they locate<br />

the invisible castle of William "BlisterthÖng" MacGuffin, who guards the Key? (Yeah, we said "Blisterthong."<br />

Yeah, it's as painful as it sounds.) Mack has less than thirty days to master Vargran, round up the rest of the<br />

Magnifica, and defeat Princess Risky. Will the Key be enough? Or is there something else Mack must find in<br />

order to save the world?<br />

But typhus and other illnesses plague the "coffin ships," so named for the staggering number of immigrants who<br />

died enroute. One by one Johanna loses the members of her family — first her baby brother on the journey over,<br />

then her mother in the Grosse Isle fever sheds where sick passengers are quarantined when they reach the port<br />

of Québec, and her father soon after. Johanna has only her brother Michael left when she sets foot on Canadian<br />

soil. When her brother is mistakenly told that she too has died, he sets off to find their uncle "somewhere in<br />

Canada," leaving Johanna to face a new life in a strange land... totally alone.<br />

THE SECOND LIFE OF ABIGAIL WALKER<br />

DOWELL, FRANCES O'ROARK<br />

Seventeen pounds. That’s the difference between Abigail Walker and Kristen Gorzca. Between chubby and slim,<br />

between teased and taunting. Abby is fine with her body and sick of seventeen pounds making her miserable, so<br />

she speaks out against Kristen and her groupies—and becomes officially unpopular. Embracing her new status,<br />

Abby heads to an abandoned lot across the street and crosses an unfamiliar stream that leads her to a boy<br />

who’s as different as they come. Anders is homeschooled, and while he’s worried that Abby’s former friends are<br />

out to get her, he’s even more worried about his dad, a war veteran home from Afghanistan who is disillusioned<br />

with life. But if his dad can finish his poem about the expedition of Lewis and Clark, if he can effectively imagine<br />

what it is to experience innocence, maybe he will be okay. As Abby dives into her role as research assistant, she<br />

discovers that by helping someone else find hope in the world, there is plenty there for herself, as well.<br />

THE SECRET OF THE FORTUNE WOOKIEE<br />

ANGLEBERGER, TOM<br />

With Dwight attending Tippett Academy this semester, the kids of McQuarrie Middle School are on their own—no<br />

Origami Yoda to give advice and help them navigate the treacherous waters of middle school. Then Sara gets a<br />

gift she says is from Dwight—a paper fortune-teller in the form of Chewbacca. It’s a Fortune Wookiee, and it<br />

seems to give advice that’s just as good as Yoda’s—even if, in the hands of the girls, it seems too preoccupied<br />

with romance. In the meantime, Dwight is fitting in a little too well at Tippett. Has the unimaginable happened?<br />

Has Dwight become normal? It’s up to his old friends at McQuarrie to remind their kooky friend that it’s in his<br />

weirdness that his greatness lies.<br />

WATERSHIP DOWN<br />

ADAMS, RICHARD<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for almost forty years, Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a timeless<br />

classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England’s Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape,<br />

this stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival follows a band of very special rabbits on their flight from the<br />

intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey<br />

forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a<br />

mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.<br />

It’s a dream come true for Megan, who’s jet-setting to Paris for Fashion Week with Gigi. Meanwhile, back in<br />

Jess and Cassidy are also hoping for victories, Jess in the a cappella finals with the MadriGals and Cassidy in<br />

delicious. His pillows? Beyond luxurious. Such torture! Hamweenie must escape! But with his wretchedly<br />

wonderful owner appearing at every turn, will he ever make it out of the apartment? From debut author and<br />

GUION, MELISSA<br />

One day a penguin sees a most unusual sight: a hat floating in the icy water. Even more unusual? Out of the hat<br />

pops a baby penguin. But not just one baby penguin . . . or even two. But a third, and a fourth, and on and on! At<br />

first the mama penguin is happy for the company. Until she realizes that taking care of a family is very hard, very<br />

tiring work, and what she could really use is just a moment alone. Yet as newcomer Melissa Guion reminds us in<br />

her adorable debut picture book, alone time is all well and good, but, it's together time that's best of all.<br />

even more than an archeologist! And besides bones, there's lots of fun to be had with tepees, totem poles, and<br />

dinosaur skeletons. Bailey's classmates never know what will happen next: maybe that's why the museum guard<br />

becomes Bailey's special partner. Bailey is a character that every picture-book age kid wants to read about and<br />

his humor and charm will keep everyone giggling.<br />

dog. This is exactly perfect for them. But then a crazy neighborhood squirrel arrives . . . and everything goes<br />

The holidays are filled with joyful noise. But Christmas is sometimes wrapped in quiet: “Searching for presents<br />

quiet,” “Getting caught quiet,” and “Hoping for a snow day quiet.” Irresistibly cute, soft colored pencil illustrations<br />

of bunnies, bears, and more paint a magical holiday picture indeed.<br />

EACH KINDNESS<br />

WOODSON, JACQUELINE<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Chloe and her friends won't play with the new girl, Maya. Maya is different--she wears hand-me-downs and plays<br />

with old-fashioned toys. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her gang, they reject her. Eventually, Maya<br />

plays alone, and then stops coming to school altogether. When Chloe's teacher gives a lesson about how even<br />

small acts of kindness can change the world, Chloe is stung by the lost opportunity for friendship, and thinks<br />

about how much better it could have been if she'd shown a little kindness toward Maya.<br />

From Michael Buckley, the bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm and NERDS series, and Dan Santat, authorillustrator<br />

of Sidekicks, comes this hilarious picture book starring Kel Gilligan (a.k.a. “The Boy Without Fear”) that<br />

encourages kids to laugh at their fears and celebrates the bravery it takes to try new things no matter how<br />

ordinary. Narrated by Kel himself as he attempts his “stunts” with Evel Knievel–like flair, the story unfolds as a<br />

performance in which readers themselves become part of the audience, encouraging Kel to get dressed all by<br />

himself (without a net!), eat new foods like broccoli (eww!), and take a bath (gasp!). Bold, interactive, and<br />

downright silly, this is a book to make kids cheer and attempt some “stunts” of their own.<br />

SANTA FROM CINCINNATI<br />

BARRETT, JUDI<br />

As you might imagine, the early life of Santa Claus was a liiiiiiiittle different from the childhood of your average<br />

kid. His first words were “ho ho ho!” By five he was wearing a fake beard and mustache, and could rarely be<br />

found without his favorite stuffed reindeer. It was clear from a very young age that he was destined for<br />

uniqueness.... Despite this, his parents went to great lengths to keep the normalcy in his life. They had him learn<br />

guitar (he was in a rock band!), and play baseball (he had quite an arm), and even do chores (okay—here he<br />

was like any other kid on earth—he hated chores). But there was no stopping Santa from being Santa, and one<br />

winter, he began to make his lists. He checked them twice, and delivered toys to children all over Cincinnati.<br />

Then, all over Ohio. Then—the world.<br />

why we know what we know, and make discoveries for themselves. The book ends with an interview with a<br />

dinosaur expert, a look at some dino record breakers, and insight into what happened to the dinosaurs. Is it<br />

possible that we still live with dinosaurs today?<br />

don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal<br />

from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to<br />

love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town.<br />

THE VERY HUNGRY BEAR<br />

BLAND, NICK<br />

Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012<br />

Bear is hungry! He's trying to fish, but instead of food, he only manages to catch...a polar bear? The poor bear is<br />

lost and his ice floe is rapidly melting. The polar bear makes a deal — he'll give Bear a pile of fish in return for a<br />

new home. Bear takes his new friend on a tour, and finally they find just the right home for a polar bear. The<br />

Bear we all fell in love with in The Very Cranky Bear and The Very Itchy Bear is just as delightful as always<br />

&mdashl and much less cranky with the promise of food on the horizon! This new story features the same bold,<br />

clever illustrations and catchy rhyming text that made Nick Bland?s first two Bear books instant favourites. Told<br />

with his characteristic humour and wit, The Very Hungry Bear is both an endearing tale of friendship and a<br />

subtle, yet important, reminder, about preserving our environment.<br />
