The Best Laid Plans: A Novel
by Lynn SchnurnbergerFrom Lynn Schnurnberger, bestselling co-author of Mine Are Spectacular! and The Botox Diaries,comes a novel of big secrets, family ties, and a reminder that sometimes The Best Laid Plans can lead to delightful surprises. Tru Newman is one of the Upper East Side M&Ms-the wealthy stay-at-home moms who are into personal Maintenance and Mothering. Having been raised by a beauty queen mother who constantly picked on her, Tru loves looking after her investment banker husband, Peter, and their twin teen daughters. But her perfect world spins off its axis the night Tru throws a charity benefit and discovers that Peter's been out of work for three months. Even worse, the family's been living on a house of cards--specifically, Visa and Amex--that's about to collapse. Suze Orman tells Tru to "Get a job!" But doing what? When Tru#x19;s best friend, Sienna Post, loses her position as an anchor on the local nightly news, the two hatch a profitable if illegal plan: They'll open an escort service with "working girls" all over the age of forty. Modeling themselves on Carla Bruni (after she married the president of France, not before, when she was dating Mick Jagger), their smart, sexy, seasoned escorts become a big hit with a roster of thirty-year-old clients. If only Tru's legit life could fall so easily into place: Her husband's new job has him working side by side with a flirtatious neighbor, her fourteen-year-old twins are competing over a two-timing, Clearasil-using Casanova, and after suffering a heart attack in her bodybuilding class, Tru's hypercritical mother moves in with her. Not to mention that the gossip columns get wind that Tru and Sienna's "temp agency" isn't on the up-and-up--and the DA is on their case. But for the savvy and spirited Tru, these new obstacles bring unexpected benefits--from Geisha facials, to massage toys that are better than chocolate, to the realization that at midlife, she's more comfortable than ever before in her own skin and more grateful for all that she has. By turns touching and laugh-out-loud funny, this is a must-read for every woman who knows it's never too late to make a fresh start.

The Best Loved Poems of the American People
by Hazel FellemanAdolph S. Ochs, publisher of the new york times Throughout his life loved poetry. He was keenly interested in the number of inquiries regarding it that came to the editorial rooms of the new york times Book Review, and he started the Queries and Answers page to handle them. The selection of verses collected under the title "The Best Loved Poems of the American People" is based on the most frequently requested items that have cleared through these columns over a period of three decades. During a large part of this time, Hazel Felleman has been the editor of Queries and Answers. From every state in the Union, and even beyond its borders, have come countless letters asking for this poem or that, or for the complete poem whose theme is such-and-such, or the song whose refrain is thus-and-so. Miss Felleman has long had her finger on the poetry pulse of the nation. Its heartbeats are truly registered in this, her book. In a sense, this book has been edited by the American people who love poetry. Miss Felleman is the liaison officer who has coordinated the poetry preferences of the nation. She has assembled the results in orderly fashion and given them back in an enduring and friendly form. This book was published originally in 1936 and i know of no better or more diverse collection of poetry anywhere. The Editor writes, "In the compilation of this book I have drawn on my experience as editor of the Queries and Answers page of the new york times Book Review over a period of fifteen years. The majority of inquiries that I receive are for favorite poems, and since not a day passes that does not bring to my desk a large sheaf of letters from all parts of the country, it is only natural that I have learned something of the poetry preferences of the American people. I have used this knowledge rather than my own personal liking in the selection of these poems; but I feel free to say that there are few of the poems that I would not have included myself."
