Manic Monday

Here are some new releases for Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Happy Reading!

Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner (hardcover) chick-lit; small town secrets; Illinois (sounds like Weiner adds some drama to this one!)

Last Light over Carolina by Mary Alice Monroe (hardcover) women's fiction; South Carolina; shrimping industry; marital relationships

Sweet Mary by Liz Balmaseda (hardcover) romantic suspense; Miami; drug cartel

Non-Fiction of Interest
Tattoo Machine by Jeff Johnson (hardcover) memoir; Portland; tattoo-shops (not for the light hearted!)

Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World’s Most Powerful Consumers by Bridge Brennan (hardcover) business; marketing to women (probably not good for the beach! Leave work at home, but seemed note-worthy for mom-preneurs)

The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal by Ben Mezrich (hardcover) social networking; pop culture (oooo! Can't wait to read this! From the back cover: The great irony is that while Facebook succeeded by bringing people together, its very success tore two best friends apart.)
