As I mentioned, I'm Beth Rancor.
Anne. I'm part of Ingram's
collection development team and
I'm joined today by Laura Barkema,
who's another librarian on our team.
This is an unprecedented an really
difficult time, and we know that
many people are struggling right now.
But Laura and I are going to do
our best to make this a fun,
lighthearted hour because we want to
give everyone listening a short break
from the serious situation we're facing.
And we also want to look towards
summer and good things to come.
We did want to mention a couple of
things that we've had a lot of questions
about over the last week or two.
First, if your library is closed
and there is no one in the building
to receive your orders.
You can email your Ingram sales Rep
to ask for your orders to be put on
hold rather than cancelling them.
That will save your staff a lot of
work when you reopen and it helps
keep you in the queue.
Also, even if your account is on hold,
you are still able to place orders
if you have staff working from
either home or the library,
we encourage you to continue to
place orders while you're closed.
That will help us put your orders
in the queue to make sure we can
ship you the books you need when you
reopen now before we get started,
we want to tell you a little bit
about our team.
Ingram has a collection development
team of 12 M LS degreed librarians
and six program administrators.
All the librarians on our team
have worked in public libraries.
And did collection development work for
our libraries before coming to Ingram?
Before she joined our team,
Laura worked at Boston Public
Library for five and a half years,
and before I came to Ingram,
I work just a selector at Baltimore
County Public Library in Maryland.
For 10 years,
our team has a combined total
of over 300 years of experience
working with libraries.
Hello everyone, this is Laura.
Menu may not know what collection
development librarian's do.
When working for a book wholesaler
like Ingram, the great, one line,
or two description for our jobs
would be that we are personal
shoppers for librarians or that
we perform readers advisory.
For librarians, our main job is
to create lists and tools to make
selection easier for our customers.
One of the things that helps us do
our job is to meet with publishers.
Our team has over 200 publisher
meetings per year.
At these meetings we learn a
lot of information about new
unforthcoming titles and that
influences the list that we will make.
But we don't just love making
these resources for you.
We also love talking about books.
With this webcast,
you wanted to combine our love of
talking about books with sharing
some of this information we get
from publishers about what is
hot and buzz worthy.
That's right, so throughout the presentation,
Laura and I are going to share
some tips about the resources
available to Ingrams customers.
We want to help you take advantage of the
work our team is doing to save you time.
Please take some time to look at the
documents available in the resources folder.
There is information about
Ingram's new I curate services,
information about how you can
connect with your Ingram sales Rep,
and there's also a handout with all
the titles in today's presentation.
If you'd like to download
that and follow along.
They hand out also has a link to
an I page list with all the titles
representing today so you don't
have to key in all of those ISB,
NS to place your orders,
so we're going to dive into the
books now an Laura is going to kick
things off with some must haves.
All right, our first batch of titles
are the must haves of the season.
These are the books that you want to order in
multiples because they're going to be big.
First up is Rodham by Curtis Sitton Feld.
This is one of those titles that
many readers aren't really going
to need to know much about,
other than the fact that it's a
fictionalized reimagining of what would
have happened to Hillary Clinton.
Has she never met bill?
Best selling author.
Sittenfeld is well known for
her literary women's fiction,
in particular her novel titled American wife,
a fictionalized account of Laura Bush.
So she really isn't a stranger to
reimagine the life of a first lady.
Next up, we have a brand new nonfiction title
from Pulitzer Prize winning Isabel Wilkerson.
Her previous book, the warmth of other Suns.
Epic story of America's great migration,
won the National Book Critics Circle
Award for general nonfiction and
numerous other prizes in 2010,
and is what our team considers a
standard title that we believe
most library should own.
This new book just got an official title,
cast the origins of our discontents,
and, as you may glean from its title,
it's about the caste system that is
shaped America we live in today.
As a deeply research narrative about real
people and goes beyond race and class
to examine this hidden heart hierarchy,
we expect this to be one of the hit
nonfiction books at 2020 and likely to
become another standard title for us.
The line life adults is the newest
novel from the mysterious Italian
author Elena Ferrante.
The same translator for her
Neapolitan series, Ann Goldstein,
has translated as novel into English as well.
Her new novel is again set in
Naples and follows the protagonist
from childhood to adulthood.
But is that during the 1990s
instead of the mid 20th century,
with the popularity of the Neapolitan
series beginning with my brilliant
friend and the second season of the
television series premiering this month,
I believe.
The man for her newest novel,
publishing in June,
will be high.
The Lincoln conspiracy takes
readers deep into the 1861 plot to
kill Abraham Lincoln on his way to
Washington DC for his inauguration.
The plan, known as the Baltimore plot,
was to assassinate Lincoln as his
train pass through Baltimore,

Pinkerton was able to thwart the
plot by bringing Lincoln through
the city in secret the night before
he was scheduled to arrive,
saving Lincoln's life and changing
the course of American history.
Brad Meltzer is known for his thrillers
and his History Channel shows,
and he's joined here by Josh Mensch,
who was also his coauthor for
the first conspiracy.
Utopia Ave is by David Mitchell,
author Cloud Atlas, and the bone clocks.
It's a new novel about a
band called Utopia Ave.
The bands for members take
turns narrating the story,
which is set in 1967.
Mitchell has an amazing track record.
Five of his six previous books
have been longlisted or shortlisted
for the Man Booker Prize.
This is a very accessible novel,
so it's a good entry point
for readers new to his work,
and be sure to check out his Utopia.

I love that I love a book with a soundtrack.
So I'm kind of surprised that
Lauren I didn't have a fight
about her share this title.
It's one that several of our
librarians are very excited to read.
We enjoyed the Royal we,

that used to exist. That

At the same time,

But the library connection

library apartment used to be.

fiction fans who like Paula Mclain,

So biographies and memoirs are up next.
First we have Natasha Trethewey's memoir
about that is one of our teammate
Becky's favorite books this year.
This is the story of the authors
family history,
written in the Lyrical Voice that
you would expect from a former US
poet laureate when Tretheway was 19,
her former stepfather killed
her mother in Memorial Drive.
She tries to understand her mothers
death by examining her mother's
life up through that horrible day.
On Atlanta's memorial drive in 1995,
the book grapples with race
and domestic abuse,
but it's written with a poet skill.
This is a deeply personal story
that also speaks to important
social issues in the US.
I'm gonna go ahead and just quote
the publisher marketing for this
one because I think they wrote
it better than I could have.
This book is a singular,
beautifully written coming of age
memoir of a Filipino boy with
albinism whose story travels
from an immigrant childhood to
Harvard to a gender transition and
illuminates the illusions of race,
disability, and gender.
So to loosen,
has a significant online presence,
and is a contributing editor
for Conde Nast's them.
Magazine this book already has a
starred PW Review an you are definitely
going to hear a lot about it.
Right Next up we have dirt adventures in
Leon as a chef in training father and sleuth.
Looking for the secret of French cooking by
Bill Buford Buford spent five years living
in Leon infiltrating the French culinary
world and tracing the history of French
cuisine dating back to the Medici Court.
You may recognize his name
from his best selling book,
heat and amateurs adventures as
kitchen slave, lying cook pasta maker,
an apprentice to a Dante quoting
butcher in Tuscany.
True, he really likes his long titles.
Dirt, dirt sounds like it will be
just as entertaining as he was.
In the past two years,
we've seen several Mr Rogers books
and outstanding documentary and even
a feature film starring Tom Hanks.
It is safe to say that Mr Rogers is a trend,
are next to a monster.
This trend, same same.
I think most people are our next
memoirs to highlight is by the first
African American actor on a children's
TV program to have a re occuring roll.
Doctor Francois S Clemens,
Officer Clemens, a memoir,
details clemens's life as a
closeted gay black man.
During the latter half of the 20th century,
and his historic role in
Mr Rogers neighborhood.
This is so much more than just another.
Mr Rogers story being familiar with
the television show or Clemens is
not necessarily a prerequisite for
enjoying this emotional memoir.
But it will certainly piqued the
interest of fans of the man and the show.
Everyone loves a good story about a person
in history that you never knew existed,
but let a fascinating life. At least I do.
That's definitely the kind of
stuff I enjoy reading lately. Yeah,
that's what our next two books are about.
The first is the Divine Miss Marble,
a life of tennis fame,
an mystery by Robert Weintraub.
Allison marble was a
tennis icon from the 30s.
Her public life was everyone's business.
Get a private life was a complete
mystery marble mingled with celebrities
from Clark Gable and William Randolph
Hearst to the creator of Wonder Woman.
She also coached Billie Jean
King and Sally Ride,
who later become celebrities
in their own right.
Weintraub and covers all the intricacies.
For this unforgettable woman
in his illuminating biography.
Our second biography to highlight about
another forgotten figure is Lady Romeo,
the radical and revolutionary
life of Charlotte Cushman,
America's first celebrity bite onovo.
Check this headline.
Making Queer actress was
America's first true celebrity.
The author brings to life this 19th
century Shakespearean actress,
who's been altogether forgotten from history.
The Hidden Lisa women in history is
invigorating trend that we don't see
slowing down anytime soon an interfered.
And in this year of the 100th
anniversary of the 19th amendment,
it's even more important for these
stories to be published, read,
highlighted, promoted everything.
That's right, so, uh,
we're going to move into some
debut fiction now and we're going
to start with saving Ruby King.
This story is set on Chicago Southside
after Ruby's mother's murder is dismissed
as just another active violence.
Ruby is left to live with her
violent and abusive father,
the only one who understands the
situation is Ruby's best friend,
Layla, whose father a minister
has ordered her not to see Ruby
when Leila tries to save Ruby,
she finds that family secrets
that she never knew.
Threaten to tear apart her tight knit
community and its core of the story
really digs into generational trauma.
Catherine Adele West is a new voice
in fiction who is being compared
to recent standout Celeste Ng,
an Brit.
Bennett,
there's a fascinating behind the book essay,
available on Edelweiss and I
encourage everyone interested in
this book to read that she shares
her personal experience growing
up in her church and in her own
family influenced the story and
it gives you a chance to get a
taste of her compelling writing.
This is definitely going to
be picked up by book clubs.

moved to Alabama, he quickly makes
friends with the football team.
Though he is included by his peers,

Georgians relationship with Yates grows.
But she uncovers a secret that
may change everything.
These stories about unknown woman
behind famous men remained popular,
and this one brings to light
an unknown story.
It also has a feminist bent as reader.
See how women lived in this
male dominated world.
And it's also one of my favorite
covers in this presentation.
Emmanuelle is existence made her
family outcast because her father
was an outsider of a different race.
She tries to follow her communities,
puritanical religion.
Being submissive and conforming when she
finds her way into the forbidden darkwood,

is give Emmanuelle a gift.
Her dead mother's Journal.
Through the Journal,
she begins to see her community

and learns that the change she wants to
see in her world has to begin with her.
This book has solid,
quiet crossover potential.
And there were eight bidders for this debut.
Authors work PR H1 at auction and they also
have future titles by Alexis Henderson.
As a librarian, debuts or some
of the most difficult books to
predict their potential popularity,
but Luckily Ingram has a librarian
who hand selects these important
titles for adult debut fiction list.
You can find this list under
the curated list link.
The day views that make this list are
often novels that publishers are the most
excited about from first time authors.
Authors have been published
in other countries,
but are making their US debut or ebook only.
Authors were in print for the
first time are also included on
the adult debut fiction list.
We publish these list quarterly with
a three to five months lead time.
Next up on 2 unique nonfiction,
these are kind of essentially
titles that don't fit nicely into a
specific mold or nonfiction genre.
The first title is one that
nearly every adult librarian here,
Ingram, was immediately
excited for the organ thieves.
The shocking story of the
first heart transplant in the
segregated south by Chip Jones.
If the tagline the immortal life
of Henrietta Lacks meets get out,
doesn't catch your eye,
then we're not sure what will my attention.
This unbelievable story centers
around Bruce Tucker of black man
who went into a Virginia hospital
with a head injury and ended up
having his heart removed from
his body without his or his love.
One consent and then transplanted
into a white man's body.
With the popularity of titles like the
immortal life of Henrietta Lacks in
the increase in publishing books on
the mistreatment of black Americans
throughout our country's history,
this title is not want to be missed.
Eat the Buddha life and death in a
Tibetan town by Barbara Demick certainly
has an interesting title that can
be best explained by this snippet
from Random House during the 1930s.
Mao Zedong's Red Army on the Long March
detoured West into the Tibetan plateau.
The soldiers on the verge of starvation
discovered in Tibetan monasteries.
Votive figurines of the Buddha
made of flour and butter,
and then they ate them.
This is one of the first encounters between
Tibetans and the rising Communist Party.
And is a perfect metaphor for the
conflict at the heart of this story.
You may recognize Barbara Demick's
name from a previous book.
Nothing to envy ordinary
lives in North Korea,
which was a finalist for both
the National Book Award and the
National Book Critics Circle Award.

those in Tibet who are leading the
resistance against Chinese occupation,
risking her life to report
on these types of stories,
demik delivers readers of you
into a world unfamiliar to most.

a day and according to author James Nestor,
most of us aren't doing it right.
He researched ancient breathing
practices and work with scientists to
test our beliefs about how we breathe.
In fact, his research shows that

a profound impact on our health.
Stopping snoring, allergies,
asthma and even autoimmune disease.

Wait,
don't tell me this
cover is just most absurd bonkers
cover and I love it. It's perfectly
and then Action Park is probably the one
that I'm most excited about on this list.
Action Park was nicknamed accident park
class action park and Traction Park.
It was a New Jersey amusement park
that was very popular in the 1980s.
You can try it yourself.
I closed in 1996.
The book is written by Andy Mulvihill.
One of the perks founder.
A story is shocking and funny and
horrifying as he chronicles both the
parks history and his family story.
If you want to learn a little
bit about the park,
there is an excellent Sports Illustrated
profile by Jack McCallum available on si.com,
that details the outrageous stories.
I'll say that safety was not a
primary concern at Action Park
that led to 6 deaths and countless
injuries during the parks history and.
Johnny Knoxville,
who starred in action point a
movie based on the park,
said gene Mulvihill lived the DIY
Spirit and tried to spread it.
Action Park was like Lord of the
flies come to life.
Man.
All right on the genre.

Gods of Jayden Shadow.
Signal to noise and certain dark things,
but mostly I'm just here to point
out the gorgeous cover mulch in
many of our librarians are pretty
obsessed with the cover and of course,
the story sounds amazing as well.
Our next two titles are fantasy novels
that complete a popular series.
The first is the last druid by
Terry Brooks, which closes out
the entire chinnara universe.
Terry Brooks has always had a clear vision
of how he would end the saga that is
spanned four decades and nearly 30 novels.

was published in 1977.

Prince joined forces to save a magical
Kingdom from a devastating civil war.

fantasy is very hot right now,
and it's really important to
have in your collections.

This is what America looks like.
My journey from refugee to congresswoman.
Is the incredible story of how she
came to be the first African refugee.
The first Somali American and
one of the first Muslim women to
be elected to Congress.
Omar was born in Somalia and at the age
of eight war broke out in Mogadishu.
She and her family had to escape to
Kenya and live in a refugee camp for
four years until they received refugee
status and immigrated to the United States.
I think this title.
This is what America looks like and
the story within of course says
really everything readers need to
know about how the US is changing.
Sadly this couldn't be a current events
highlight list without books about
climate change in the environment,
and these next three titles are books

about the fact that it's Byron
Rockovich
and that's just A the water
crisis is something that so many
communities are dealing with.
I know there are some that are high profile,

consequences of climate change.

selected to create a comprehensive
collection like I carry coming soon,
but they are a great resource for
libraries who just want a way to be sure
they haven't missed high profile titles.
Alright, the ROM com is alive and well.
They were gonna be our favorite
section to talk about.
Uhm, alright, so one of the titles
I've been most excited to talk
about is a new debut romance from
Berkeley by Mara Wilson are and it's
called something to talk about.
Queer female romances are hard to
come by and very very few have ever
made it to a mainstream publisher.
So this is a huge title to promote.
It's got the cute cartoony Berkeley
covered that saturates the marketplace
and a great synopsis to boot.
Hollywood celebrity Joanne,
her assistant Emma are mistaken for
a couple by the tabloids and the
papparazi will not let it go with
Joe's newest film project underway.
The women begin spending a lot of time
together, even more so than usual,
and soon there wondering if the tabloid
rumors might not be so far off base.
Next we have betrayed by Emily
Henry the sounds like the cutest
setup for a romantic comedy set

experiencing writers block help each other.
Finish books over the summer.

I cannot wait to pick up my
galley of this and read about the
inevitable falling love this couple.
I literally have it right next

Molly Montgomery in the Florida
Keys who finds a newborn in
the restroom in the library,
in walks, Sheriff John Hartwell
to investigate these abandonment.
Molly had a recent broken engagement
and John as a divorced single
father and despite this kind of
similar track record or you know,
recent broken hearts.
Besides that,
they have very little in common.
This is definitely an enemies
to lovers romance.
Is Trump is always popular and
this looks to be another great
addition to the romcom genre.
OK, so the publisher called this novel red,
white and Royal blue meets fan girl
and I was sold. Right enemies?
Conrad Stewart an Alden Parks find
themselves on a cross country road
trip to a major fan convention.
Each of them wants to win the massive Odyssey
con West tournament like the last book.
This is an enemies to lovers story,
so I think you can guess
where things go from there.
The book already has positive reviews from
publishers weekly in Library Journal.
Alden is a neurodiverse protagonist,
which were slowly starting to see
more of an the characters in this
book are both in their early 20s
an it has really good why?
A? Crossover appeal?

Sam rents the space above the restaurant.
He's opposed to arrange marriages
after seeing that they don't
always end happily ever after,
but he's drafted into
chaperoning Layla's dates.
And as I spend time together, Sparks fly.
If you loved Asia last,
which was one of my favorite romances
last year, you'll definitely
want to read the marriage game.
This is a known voices title
and the first in a new series.
Berkeley bought three books
from this author at Auctions,
so will definitely see more.
Last man standing.
The publisher called this crazy Rich Asians
meets Bridget Jones diary sounds awesome.

She is also the last unmarried
member of the family.
The realization makes her

Is this really what she wants?
She can't stop thinking about Suresh,
her office rival,
and a man who are family would
definitely not approve of this is
another own voices romance and
it's Lauren Hose debut novel,
and she has one of my favorite
author BIOS ever.
It ends last Handstanding is not
based on her mother at all, seriously?
Want to watch B is a plus size
fashion Blogger with tons of
insta followers and she watch is a
reality show called main squeeze.
Religiously think The Bachelor but she's
over the lack of body diversity on the show.
Then she gets the call.

Be plans to use the show to improve

The story is told through
podcast transcripts, emails,
texts and articles.
The author is a screenwriter,
Anna political strategist with great
connections an it already has a
glowing blurb from Jasmine Gallery.
I'm a huge fan of The Bachelor and
Bachelorette Bachelor in Paradise.
Any of those things and so this book.
I'm incredibly excited.
Oh alright, something a bit more somber.
A World War Two fiction and nonfiction
you know it also hasn't lost its
popularity along with the romantic
comedy and its books about World War Two,
historical fiction and nonfiction.
You'll always find a plethora of
books that during this time here a
couple standouts for the summer.
The first we have is the Jane Austen Society,
by Natalie Jenner.
It should be popular from the title
alone because along with World War
Two historical fiction as being
one of the most popular genres,
anything that has to do with Jane
Austen is sure to get some buzz as well.
Stayed you novels set just after
World War Two ends in the village of
Charlton Jane Austen's final home,
a group of people who seem to have
nothing in common except their love
for Jane Austen band together to
create the Jane Austen Society and
the hopes of preserving her home in
legacy misses a book about dealing with
loss and trauma, yet also life triumphs.
It is sure to be a hit.
Our next two World War Two fiction
novels center around books and libraries.
The first is a Paris Library by
Janet scarcely and Charles, a jewel.
Timeline narrative,
part of the novel set in Paris,
1939, and follows Odili,
who works at the American library and joins
the resistance with her fellow librarians.
The other is set in Montana 1983,
featuring Lily,
a lonely teenager,
and her elderly neighbor who
loves books just as much as she.
How do these two timelines and
characters connect and what secrets
in betrayals will be shared?
Our second book Centric World
War 2 novel is the book of last
names by Christian Harmal,
inspired by a true story in
another dual timeline narrative,
the Book of last names is about Eva,
a graduate student in France in 1942
who forges identity documents for
Jewish children fleeing to Switzerland.
60 five years later,
even now a semi retired librarian
in Florida finds a photograph
in a magazine article.
The book she recognizes as
the book of last names.
The article discusses the Nazis looting
of libraries in Europe and the efforts
to reunite people with their last text.
The Book of last names as a mysterious
text that contains a code of some
sort and only Eva holds the answer.
Now moving on to the non fiction
World War Two titles.
These next two books also fall
into that category of hidden women
stories that are so popular.
The light of days.
The untold story of women resistance
fighters in Hitler's ghettos by Judy
Battalion is when the top nonfiction
tiles for the summer and it's
already been optioned for a major
motion picture by Steven Spielberg.
Authored you battalion was doing
research in the British Library
when she found a book written
in Yiddish and published in 1946
that contained accounts of various
Jewish women who fought in the
resistance during World War Two.
Motivated to make these
women's lost stories known?
Battalion a granddaughter,
granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors,
chronicles the fasting exploits
of these courageous young women.
Code name Madeleine a Sufi spy in Nazi
occupied Paris by Arthur J Magada,
tells a story of nor an iac on the
daughter of an Indian Sufi Mystic,
raised in 1920s Paris.
Once the Nazis came into power in Germany,
she trained with the British
special operations operations and
became a spy for them for some
crucial months of World War Two.
She was the only person
sending information to London,
even aiding in the success of D day.
Besides the fact that this is another
story about a hidden woman in history,
it's also historical narrative.
Other Muslim woman which is even more
rare to find in the publishing world.
Right now on two books that fill a
gap as librarians, we see the deluge
of titles are being published daily.
We are aware of the gaps and
publishing as far as diversity goes,
these next titles are once you've
identified for this summer
that fills some of those gaps.
Finding diverse horror novels is
like finding a needle in a haystack,
and it's even more difficult to
find a horror novel about in.
Written by an indigenous person,
the only good Indians by
Stephen Graham Jones,
a member of the black feet nation,
is that needle in a hay stack and
absolutely fills a gap in literature.
Following for American Indian men,
the only good Indians describes
the struggle for their lives
after disturbing events from their
youth comes back to haunt them,
possibly literally.
I think this quote from bestselling horror
writer Paul Tremblay says everything
you need to know about this novel.
The only good Indians as a masterpiece.
Intimate, devastating,
brutal,
terrifying,
yet warm and heartbreaking in the
best way Stephen Graham Jones
has written a horror novel about
injustice and ultimately about hope.
Alright, what this collection brings
together work from 160 poets from
nearly 100 indigenous nations.
It includes well known writers and
emerging voices poet Laureate Joy
Harjo is one of the editors an I'm
so excited about this anthology
because there really aren't many
titles like it on the market and
it's also a really affordable
anthology that is going to be in
the reach of many libraries budgets.
I am so glad that Laura brought the
kitchen Without Borders to my attention.
The book includes 70 recipes from
refugee and immigrant chefs,
along with essays about their experiences.
The recipes really look good,
and they're very approachable.
And if that wasn't enough to persuade you,
Workman is giving a percentage of the
proceeds to International Rescue Committee.
Tasty pride. Yeah, yeah,
Tasty Pride is a collection of 75
recipes and stories from LG BT, Q Plus.
Cooks and foodies like other
recipes in the tasty brand.
These are really doable.
For home cooks and the pictures
and graphics have the same colorful
style that you expect from tasty.
The publisher writes Tasty Pride and the
stories within it prove there is a seat
at the table for everyone which I love.
Disability visibility is a
collection of first person writings
on the joys and challenges of the
modern disability experience.
The anthology includes blogposts, eulogies,
testimonies to Congress and essays,
and with several other high profile
titles to come on this topic.
This anthology provides a really
wide array of experiences and voices
that have long been marginalized.
So we listen to the collection
questions that we hear from you,
the librarians, and we try to
create resources to help you.
You can find these multitude
of resources for adults,
children's and teens under that
curated list tab on I page.

House reps described this next novel to us,
and I was immediately excited about it,
made me perk up a burning
by Megha Module Module,
and are is a plot driven debut
novel set in contemporary India,
about 3 characters who seem to have
nothing in common at the outset,
yet become inexplicably linked in
the wake of a terrorist attack.
I love this description from the
publisher about how this will
resonate with American audiences,
specifically political upheaval.
Domestic terrorism.
Identity politics the rise of
nationalism in the sinister
combustive influence of social media.
But novel speaks directly to
the crisis in our own culture.
Despite the specificity of its geography.
All right, Jim Carey wrote a memoir.

The number of political titles
we and you see being published.
It's hard to keep up and it can get
really overwhelming these next few
titles or what I like to call politics.
Adjacent meaning still in the realm of
politics, but not necessarily hammering
on the current political climate.
The first is a book I'm really
excited about it, from John Dickerson
called the hardest job in the world,
the American presidency.
I really like how this paragraph is synopsis
sums up the conundrum that is the presidency.
Imagine you have just been elected president.
You are now commander in chief,
chief executive chief, diplomat,
chief legislator, chief of party, chief,
voice of the people, first responder,
chief priest and roll leader.
That's nine different things.
People you've experienced,
this a failure, become campaign promises.
But you're also expected to solve the
surprising, an urgent crises of the day.
On your To Do List and where
would you even start?
Hard job.
Dickerson digs deep in the histories
of President sees such as Lincoln,
FDR, El BJ Reagan, Bush, Obama.
An more to try and answer these questions.
Read this if you want a deep dive into
what the President United States does
and how we may need to reconsider
their role because it is a former
60 minutes correspondent and Co.
Host of the CBS Daily Show.
And he also hosts two weekly
podcasts for slate,
political gabfest and whistle stop.
What were we thinking and intellectual
history of the Trump era by Carlos
Lozada is one of the few political
books that has me really intrigued.

I kind of keep using to describe
this work is that he read all of
the books about trump presidency,
so you don't have to.
Pulitzer Prize winning book
critic for the Washington Post,
right over 150 books depicting
America during the Trump era.
Looks from liberals and Conservatives,
academics and activists, Trump's
biggest fans and his harshest critics.
Many titles will recognize such as Hillbilly,
elegy, how to be an anti racist,
good in Madden, the corrosion of
conservatism at just over 250 pages.
This analysis, an intellectual history,
is a subtitle.
States proposes to be the brief
read you need to understand
the United States of America.
And our devices population
during the Trump era.
Another one of our nonfiction standard
titles is Hiroshima by John Hersey,
which details the horrors and aftermath
of the United States dropping the
atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fallout, the Harro Shama cover up,
and the Reporter who revealed it to
the world by Leslie MM bloom is about
John Hersey's courage and determination
to dig through secrecy and propaganda.
In the year following the bombing,
the US wouldn't allow any allied
reporters in to witness the
devastation in long term effects.
But John Hersey, The New Yorker,
managed to sneak in.
Followed is both a captivating
detective narrative in a story
of how one heroic scoop saved,
saved and can still save
the world since 1945,
there's never been another
nuclear weapon deployed,
and that is largely in part because of her.
She's quick reporting and sharing to
the world followed us that to publisher
on the Sunday 5th anniversary of the
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Even before the coronavirus
introduced us to social distancing.

the first nonfiction book from
crime novelist Laura Lippman.
The book contains 15 personal
essays written since 2017.

The book flatland as black as one of the
titles I'm most excited about on this list,
a woman was found dead in
in Tijuana hotel room.
the ID in the person in the room
said she was Atlantis black,
and though the police report
questions the identification,
the body was cremated.
Poet Betsy Bonner goes back to examine
the months leading up to her sister Atlantis,
presumed death.
She recounts their childhood her
sisters brief success in the music
business and addresses some of
the questions that she may never
be able to answer.
Readers who love true crime podcast,
like cereal,
will find this story fascinating.
But the story of these sisters
will extend readership beyond the
typical true crime cloud crowd.
