The Books I'm Reading Now
I'm reading Stephanie Booth's story of an author developing early-onset Alzheimer's who relies on a superfan to help her finish out her series; I'm listening to the wonderful Stanley Tucci's What I Ate in One Year; and I'm listening to the reality-show-set rom-com The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun.
What are you reading these days, bookworms?
01 Libby Lost and Found by Stephanie Booth
Libby Weeks is the author of the wildly popular fantasy series The Falling Children. She used a pen name, F. T. Goldhero, in order to protect her privacy.
She's months late delivering the newest installment of the series, and her publisher and fans are losing patience.
But Libby receives a devastating diagnosis that changes everything: early-onset Alzheimer's. As she's reeling from the news and considering her legacy, she becomes determined to finish her book...but she's going to need some help.
Enter superfan Peanut Brixton--who may be even more familiar with The Falling Children books than Libby herself.
I received a prepublication copy of Libby Lost and Found, which was published October 15, courtesy of Sourcebooks Landmark.
02 What I Ate in One Year (And Related Thoughts) by Stanley Tucci
Food is an essential part of Stanley Tucci's life, and in What I Ate in One Year, he allows the food and wine he cooks, eats, and enjoys over the course of a year to add structure to the passage of 365 days--while interspersing personal moments and professional pursuits.
Tucci is irresistibly playful, even when he's being slightly curmudgeonly. He loves what he loves, and he especially loves his people and his Italian food.
I'm listening to What I Ate in One Year as an audiobook.
Stanley Tucci is also the author of cookbooks and the memoir Taste: My Life Through Food.
03 The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
Dev has dedicated his career to the reality dating show Ever After, helping to shape it into the popular, long-running franchise it is.
But when his producers cast disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its newest eligible bachelor, Dev isn't sure he can salvage the situation. Charlie is awkward, clumsy, private, and quiet...not exactly the most promising television presence.
As Charlie's handler, Dev spends countless hours with the bachelor, working to get him to open up. Dev shares that he's recently broken up with Ryan, who also works on the show. And Charlie begins to realize he feels more of a connection to Dev than to any of the twenty beautiful women parading through his life.
I'm listening to The Charm Offensive as an audiobook.
