DESCRIPTION: At the very beginning of her new book, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reflects on watching Joni Mitchell perform at age 80, after her brain aneurysm. To borrow from the lyrics of the song Hillary recalls Mitchell performing, this book is Hillary’s attempt to “look at life from both sides now,” as she continues to gain perspective on her remarkable life and marriage of nearly 50 years to former President Bill Clinton. Unlike her previous memoir, which was focused very narrowly on the 2016 presidential election, this one has a more expansive and personal scope.  Ready to hear the rest of the story?

Sweet Fury, the new thriller by Sash Bischoff, comes with a heavy dose of both Hollywood glamour and shocking darkness. It tells the story of actress Lila Crayne, a beloved movie star who teams up with her filmmaker fiance to adapt F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night with a modern, feminist twist. As the project progresses, Lila sees a therapist to help her dig into the trauma of her past – and before long, things spill over into her work in unexpected ways as well. With references to the #MeToo movement and the commercial side of filmmaking, the book dives deep not only into Lila’s character, but Hollywood’s character as a whole.   Ready to hear the rest of the story?

Actress Ione Skye was part of one of the most iconic scenes in 80s film history: being serenaded by John Cusack with a boombox in the movie Say Anything.

Author Meg Cabot is best-known for her beloved Princess Diaries series, but in Educating Caroline, she turns to Victorian England for the tale of a young woman seeking lessons in the art of romance.
