HOT BOOKS

  • LUNATICS by Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel

    You’re in for fun with these two writers! Dave is a Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and Alan is an Emmy Award-winning TV writer and Thurber Prize-winning novelist. Together they make an unmatched duo who bring us a story of side-splitting mirth as they recount the tales of Philip Horkman and Jeffrey Peckerman, whose lives collide in an unpredictable and zany way. Their exploits will involve the police, terrorists, soldiers, bears, a lemur, and a host of crazed characters.

  • TEMPEST by Julie Cross

    This young adult debut novel offers time travel, suspense, and romance. The time traveler is 19 year-old Jackson Meyer. It opens in 2009 when he is in college and has a girlfriend named Holly. Through a terrible incident involving suspicious strangers, Holly is shot and killed. Jackson travels back to 2007, but he is stymied when he tries to get back to the future 2009 to save Holly. It is while he is back in 2007 he discovers that there are “Enemies of Time” who will stop at nothing to recruit him to their dark side. How can he thwart them and save Holly? It’s a thrilling race against time!

  • THINKING, FAST AND SLOW by Daniel Kahneman

    Are you intrigued by the workings of your mind? If so, this is the book for you. Professor Kahneman takes us on a journey into the mind and explains the two systems that account for the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional. System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. We need both. It is important to know how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. This book will show you the way.

Wednesday, February 1

Dear Booklovers,

You’ll want to be sure to come to Books & Co. at The Greene on Saturday, February 25 at 3 pm for the memorable CROWNS HAT SHOW. We started this hat show years ago when the book, Crowns: Portraits of Black Women and Church Hats, was published. We invited women from black churches to wear their church hats to Books & Co. for a hat show on a Saturday afternoon in Black History Month. This was in celebration of the African American custom of wearing outstanding hats to church services on Sundays.

We thought it would be a one-time event, but it took on a life of its own and now over a decade later, we’re still having women model their gorgeous hats each February.

Sharon Howard, who has emceed all the Crowns Hat Shows, will again be here to keep the chatter informative, engaging and fun. You won’t want to miss it!
