Sarah from Alaska, by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe. Public Affairs. Kindle edition $14.23. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"A year after her consequential, controversial vice-presidential campaign, Sarah Palin remains one of the most polarizing yet dynamic figures on the political scene. In Sarah from Alaska, Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe draw on exclusive interviews with former McCain/Palin staffers, top political minds, friends and foes in Alaska to tell the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of Palin's 2008 campaign, which proved to be as dysfunctional as it was secretive. They explore how the campaign rippled unexpectedly in Republican circles and beyond; and highlight Palin's key endeavors, in her new role as America's new superstar governor, to apply the lessons of her triumphs and missteps to build a vibrant political future...Scott Conroy has worked as a campaign reporter and is currently a digital journalist for CBS News. Shushannah Walshe was a reporter and producer at the Fox News Channel from August 2001 until the end of the 2008 presidential campaign. They each were embedded reporters who covered Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign and Sarah Palin’s historic vice presidential run for their respective networks." - Amazon.

ON ABC'S GOOD MORNING AMERICA (05 NOV 09):

My Paper Chase: True Stories of Vanished Times, by Harold Evans. Little, Brown & Company. Kindle edition $15.39. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"In My Paper Chase, Harold Evans recounts a wild and wonderful tale of newspapering life. His story stretches from the 1930s to his service in WWII, through towns big and off the map. He discusses his passion for the crusading style of reportage he championed, his clashes with Rupert Murdoch, and his struggle to use journalism to better the lives of those less fortunate. There's a star-studded cast and a tremendously vivid sense of what once was: the lead type, the smell of the presses, eccentrics throughout, and angry editors screaming over the intercoms. ...Evans is the author of the New York Times bestseller The American Century." - Amazon.

Under the Dome, by Stephen King. Scribner. Kindle edition $9.99. Available for pre-order; delivery on December 24th. Hard cover edition available now. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as 'the dome' comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens - town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing - even murder - to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out." - Amazon.

ON NPR'S DIANE REHM SHOW (09 NOV 09):

Enemies of the People: My Family's Journey to America, by Kati Marton. Simon & Schuster. Kindle edition $9.99. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"In this true-life thriller, Kati Marton, an accomplished journalist, exposes the cruel mechanics of the Communist Terror State, using the secret police files on her journalist parents as well as dozens of interviews that reveal how her family was spied on and betrayed by friends and colleagues, and even their children's babysitter... Marton relates her eyewitness account of her mother's and father's arrests in Cold War Budapest and the terrible separation that followed. She describes the pain her parents endured in prison - isolated from each other and their children. She reveals the secret war between Washington and Moscow, in which Marton and her family were pawns in a much larger game. By the acclaimed author of The Great Escape, Enemies of the People is a tour de force, an important work of history as it was lived, a narrative of multiple betrayals on both sides of the Cold War that ends with triumph and a new beginning in America." - Amazon.

ON COMEDY CENTRAL'S THE DAILY SHOW (10 NOV 09):

On the Line, by Serena Williams. Grand Central Publishing. Kindle edition $9.99. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"One of the biggest stars in tennis, Serena Williams has captured every major title. Her 2009 Australia Open championship earned her the #1 world ranking for the third time in her illustrious career - and marked only the latest exclamation point on a life well and purposefully lived. As a young girl, Serena began training with an adult-sized racquet that was almost as big as her. Rather than dropping the racquet, Serena saw it as a challenge to overcome - and she has confronted every obstacle on her path to success with the same unflagging spirit. From growing up in the tough, hardscrabble neighborhood of Compton, California, to being trained by her father on public tennis courts littered with broken glass and drug paraphernalia, to becoming the top women's player in the world, Serena has proven to be an inspiration to her legions of fans both young and old. Her accomplishments have not been without struggle: being derailed by injury, devastated by the tragic shooting of her older sister, and criticized for her unorthodox approach to tennis. Yet somehow, Serena always manages to prevail... In this compelling and poignant memoir, Serena takes an empowering look at her extraordinary life and what is still to come." - Amazon.

Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate and Political Attacks, by Carrie Prejean. Regnery. Kindle edition $15.37. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"Carrie Prejean had no idea, when she walked down the stage to face her final question before the selection and crowning of Miss USA, that her hopes, dreams, and reputation were about to come crashing down around her under a torrent of media attacks. Her crime? To have answered honestly that for her - and for most Americans - marriage is defined as a sacred bond between one man and one woman. For the thought crime of saying this, Carrie Prejean went from being the likely winner of the Miss USA competition to being the certain loser. But worse, she would be subjected to a campaign of vilification, verbal abuse, and betrayal that did not even end with her being stripped of her title of Miss California. Here at last is Carrie’s own story - the full story - about what actually happened..." - hardcover edition, inside flap.
