I love when I share a book with someone and tell them that I think they will enjoy it --- and the next time I see them, they hand it back to me with a big smile and huge raves. That is what happened when I shared THE DOORMAN by Chris Pavone, a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick, with our book group leader, Kathleen. She enjoyed it and suggested that we read it for our August discussion. I am looking forward to this meeting!
I hope that you all have those kinds of moments with recommendations you bring to your group. It does not happen all the time, but when it does, it is lovely.
This is your last Reading Group Guides newsletter reminder to sign up for this month’s “Bookaccino Live” Book Group event, which will take place on Wednesday, July 30th at 8pm ET.
Our guest will be J. Courtney Sullivan, and she will be talking about her novel, THE CLIFFS. This Reese’s Book Club pick and Bets On selection from last year is now available in paperback.
If you have a question for Courtney, please email it to me using the subject line “Courtney” by July 30th at noon ET. Be sure to also include your name, city and state, and indicate if you’d like to be on camera during the event so you can ask Courtney the question yourself, or if you’d prefer me to ask it for you. Those who appear on camera will be able to chat with Courtney in our virtual green room before the program starts.
We have two new “Bookreporter Talks To” interviews to share with you in this newsletter.
First up is Bruce Holsinger, whose latest novel, CULPABILITY, is Oprah’s Book Club pick for July and an upcoming Bets On selection.
Bruce explains why he chose to explore AI and the decision to have each member of a family be culpable in a car accident involving an autonomously driven vehicle. The beach house that the Cassidy-Shaws retreat to is similar to the one that Bruce and his family enjoyed during the pandemic, and that peaceful setting kept coming back to him as he wrote. He also talks about the audiobook’s narrators, Stacy Carolan and January LaVoy, and how they each played roles that served the book.
And yes, Bruce walks us through what it was like to get “the call” from Oprah. Click here to watch the video or here to listen to the podcast. Don’t miss my Bets On commentary in the next newsletter. In the meantime, you can take a look at the discussion guide and our review on Bookreporter.
Here’s what Oprah said about CULPABILITY when she announced it as her latest book club pick: “I appreciated the prescience of this story. It’s where we are right now in our appreciation and dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence, centered on an American family we can relate to. I was riveted until the very last shocking sentence!” In front of a live audience at a Starbucks café in Seattle, Oprah talked to Bruce about the novel’s thrilling twists and forward-looking ethical questions about emerging technology and personal accountability. Click here for their discussion.
I also had the pleasure of speaking with Megan Abbott about her new novel, EL DORADO DRIVE, for which we featured the guide in the last newsletter. This is the first book that Megan has written about suburban Detroit, which is where she lived for her early years. The story is set during the time when the automobile market crashed, jobs were suddenly lost, and the lifestyle to which people were accustomed disappeared.
Megan talks about those days when the rug was pulled out from under people after years of not worrying about money. She also explains what it was like to write about sisters, even though she only has a brother. And she shares the exciting screenwriting news of what is next for her. Click here to watch the video or here to listen to the podcast.
THE UNRAVELING OF JULIA is #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline’s latest novel and will be a Bets On pick. In this twisty and haunting psychological thriller (which is a first for Lisa!), a young widow inherits a Tuscan estate from a mysterious benefactor and finds herself thrust into the crosshairs of a dangerous conspiracy.
Jana Siciliano has wonderful things to say about the book in her review on Bookreporter: “Scottoline creates an intergenerational thriller that is sure to exhilarate fans and newcomers alike… Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the book is the Italian history that Scottoline winds into the fabric of Julia’s search. Her struggle to overcome grief and live a new life with a family identity is a compelling and emotional pageant. Upgrade your vacation reading this summer and unravel yourself with this timeless novel.” Click here for the full review and here for the guide.

Adriana Trigiani’s new novel, THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO, revolves around one woman’s determination to live a creative life that matters, with enough room left over for love. With a one-way ticket to Italy, Jess Capodimonte Baratta sets out to write a new story on her own terms --- this time, in stone. Click here for the guide.
In her Bookreporter review, Jane T. Krebs says that the book “has two main attractions: Giuseppina Baratta, a young woman who has believed forever that she could be happy if she made others happy, and the beautiful marble mountains of Italy…. Trigiani explores many contemporary issues in THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO. It is welcome to have the context of today’s time frame placed upon this age-old quest of knowing oneself. Jess has to come to terms with herself before she can come to terms with the mysteries and surprises of the past.”
Adriana recently appeared on “Good Morning America” to talk about the book. Click here to watch the segment. I am looking forward to interviewing Adriana at the Milford Readers and Writers Festival on September 13th.
