Today, Good Morning America hosted journalist and food blogger Harriet Brown, whose Brave Girl Eating: A Family's Struggle with Anorexia (Morrow, 978-0061725470, $25.99) pubs today.
On Today, Deborah Sharp shared Mama Gets Hitched (Midnight Ink, 978-0738719221, $14.95), which PW called a “charming third Mace Bauer mystery. Sibling rivalry, steamy romance, a surprising killer, and plenty of catfish and hush puppies make this Southern cozy a winner.”
The Martha Stewart Show re-aired a segment with Josh Kilmer-Purcell, one half of The Fabulous Beekman Boys and author of The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Gentlemen Farmers: An Unconventional Memoir (Harper, 978-0061336980, $24.99). PW declared “Kilmer-Purcell writes with dramatic flair and trenchant wit, uncovering mirthful metaphors as he plows through their daily experiences, meeting neighbors, signing on caretaker Farmer John, herding goats, canning tomatoes, and digging a garden, as they fix up the 205-year-old house.”
Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:
Former Cosmopolitan executive editor James Mauro, whose book is Twilight at the World of Tomorrow: Genius, Madness, Murder, and the 1939 World's Fair on the Brink of War (Ballantine Books, 978-0345512147, $28). PW wrote “Aiming for another Devil in the White City, Mauro fails to pull all his threads together coherently, falling short of the mark.”
Comedienne Kristen Schaal, co-author of The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex (Chronicle Books, 978-0811871266, $24.95).
The Diane Rehm Show interviewed Dr. Herbert Benson, co-author of Relaxation Revolution: Enhancing Your Personal Health Through the Science and Genetics of Mind Body Healing (Scribner, 978-1439148655, $26; Tantor unabridged CD, $29.99).
On Mancow's Morning Madhouse: Gabriel Grayson, co-author of How to Read a Person Like a Book: Observing Body Language to Know What People Are Thinking (Square One, 978-0757003141, $13.95).
Tonight, Tavis Smiley talks with Pulitzer-winning Washington Post correspondent David Finkel, whose The Good Soldiers (Picador, 978-0312430023, $15; Brilliance Audio unabridged CD, $29.99) is recently out in paperback. PW’s starred review declared “Finkel's keen firsthand reportage, its grit and impact only heightened by the literary polish of his prose, gives us one of the best accounts yet of the American experience in Iraq.”
