Today, Good Morning America talked with Jane Green, whose 12th novel is Promises to Keep (Viking, 978-0670021796, $25.95; Penguin Audio unabridged CD, $39.95). PW wrote “While the subject matter is intense and personal, it's far from depressing; the characters are warm, funny and realistic. Overall, Green once again delivers an enjoyable emotional story.”
The Today show hosted popular memoirist Jen Lancaster, author of My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black, or, a Culture-Up Manifesto (NAL, 978-0451229861, $24.95). From PW’s review: “Though she's unquestionably funny and comfortable in her own skin, for all the joking self-regard there's little actual exploration, and the analysis of what she does find doesn't go far beyond a sassy thumbs-up or thumbs-down.”
The Diane Rehm Show interviewed Dana Priest, national intelligence reporter for The Washington Post and author of The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace with America's Military (W. W. Norton, 978-0393325508, $15.95). PW thought “As reportage, The Mission has merit, but as defense analysis, it falls short.”
This evening, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno chats with comedienne and talk show host Chelsea Handler, author of Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang (Grand Central, 978-0446552448, $25.99). PW’s starred review declared “her essays are packed with enough laugh-out-loud moments to rival a first-rate stand-up act.”
