October 2005

October's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes METRO GIRL, a stand-alone novel written by Janet Evanovich that features a new heroine, Alexandra (Barney) Barnaby; COOKING WITH MY SISTERS, in which Adriana Trigiani joins forces with her four sisters and their mother to bring readers a collection of the family's recipes and stories; INDELIBLE, a harrowing addition to Karin Slaughter's popular and critically acclaimed Grant County suspense series; TOOL & DIE by Sarah Graves, the eighth installment in her "Home Repair is Homicide" mystery series;   Kate Atkinson's CASE HISTORIES, an intriguing mix of literary thriller and family saga; and THE KNOW-IT-ALL, which chronicles A.J. Jacobs's seemingly impossible quest to read the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z.
