Books in the News

What's being talked about in newspapers and on television?


Tom Rachman’s best selling debut novel The Imperfectionists was reviewed in the New York Times. Brad Pitt’s production company has bought the film rights to this story of a struggling newspaper in Rome.


A story on CBS Sunday Morning featuring Delivering Happiness, by the CEO of online shoe retailer Zappos, sent the business book to #1 on Amazon.


Unsurprisingly, The Facebook Effect has been widely advertised on Facebook and other social media, pushing up its Amazon ranking well before its publication date of June 15.


There was a vampire showdown in the pages of USA Today and the New York Times, as reviewers covered Blood Oath, The Passage, and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.
