Thanks šŸ™ @putnambooks for the bookmail! #partner . . ABOUT THE EDITOR From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a novel about a struggling writer who gets his big break, with a little help from the most famous woman in America. After years of trying to make it as a writer in 1990s New York City, James Smale finally sells his novel to an editor at a major publishing house: none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Jackieā€“or Mrs. Onassis, as sheā€™s known in the officeā€“has fallen in love with Jamesā€™s candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the bookā€™s forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he canā€™t bring himself to finish the manuscript. Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother. Then a long-held family secret is revealed, and he realizes his editor may have had a larger plan that goes beyond the pageā€¦ From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a funny, poignant, and highly original novel about an author whose relationship with his very famous book editor will change him foreverā€“both as a writer and a son. . . So.. who thinks this book sounds really interesting? And hello.. Jackie O?! Color me very intrigued! . . #bibliophile #book #booksofig #bookstagram

Thanks @stmartinspress for The Escape Room! #partner . . About The Escape Room: Welcome to the escape room. Your goal is simple. Get out alive.ā€™ In the lucrative world of Wall Street finance, Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam are the ultimate high-flyers. Ruthlessly ambitious, they make billion-dollar deals and live lives of outrageous luxury. Getting rich is all that matters, and they'll do anything to get ahead. When the four of them become trapped in an elevator escape room, things start to go horribly wrong. They have to put aside their fierce office rivalries and work together to solve the clues that will release them. But in the confines of the elevator the dark secrets of their team are laid bare. They are made to answer for profiting from a workplace where deception, intimidation and sexual harassment thrive. Tempers fray and the escape roomā€™s clues turn more and more ominous, leaving the four of them dangling on the precipice of disaster. If they want to survive, theyā€™ll have to solve one final puzzle: which one of them is a killer? . . #bibliophile #book #booksofig #bookstagram #igbooks

7. The Girl He Used To Know published this week- who LOVES this cover?

View this post on Instagram

#sponsored: Happy Pub Day to The Girl He Used To Know! Thanks @stmartinspress for the book! . . Annika Rose likes being alone. She feels lost in social situations, saying the wrong thing or acting the wrong way – she just can't read people. She prefers the quiet solitude of books or playing chess to being around others. Apart from Jonathan. She liked being around him, but she hasn't seen him for ten years. Until now that is. And she's not sure he'll want to see her again after what happened all those years ago. Annika Rose likes being alone. Except that, actually, she doesn't like being alone at all. . . Iā€™m really intrigued by how this book sounds- and that cover has me šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ . . Is The Girl He Used To Know on your TBR list? . . #bibliophile #book #booksofig #igbooks #bookstagram

  3. Sorry for the rough week. I hope you get to have a fun weekend.
    I loved The Dry! Recently finished The Lost Man by the same author.
    The Escape Room was very different than I expected, and The Girl He Used to Know really surprised me. Would love for you to check out my reviews of those books!
