Congrats Susan Wiggs!

Bainbridge Island author Susan Wiggs has made it back onto The New York Times Best Sellers list with the mass market paperback reissue of her 2005 novel, Table for Five.


As described on www.susanwiggs.com, "Table for Five is the story of two people, Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire, who have nothing in common. Lily guards her independent lifestyle with a ferocity that hides a fear of love and the pain it can bring. Sean has always been a rolling stone, making his own way. But with the sudden death of a couple close to them both, the two become joined in grief and a knowledge that they must step up and care for the orphaned children of their friends. With little more than hope and dedication, these five embark on a cross-country road trip filled with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations that make up a family. Along the way, Lily and Sean and these troubled children will discover that even when you’ve lost everything, love still remains."

Susan Wiggs is a fantastic customer and friend of Eagle Harbor Books. We carry many of her books and if you would like to order a signed copy, please visit our website or contact the store directly here.

New Title Tuesday

 There are quite a few fantastic books being released this week, including the five listed below. We have heard a lot of advanced praise for King Peggy, the memoir from Peggielene Bartels who is the first female King of Otuham, a fishing village in Ghana. She was recently interviewed on NPR where she described how she splits her time between her village in Ghana and her American life in Washington D.C.

The Detour by Andromeda Romano-Lax. 
“A gently haunting work of subtle and surprising wisdom.”—Booklist
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt is a 2011 Staff Favorite at Eagle Harbor Books. Janis recommends this book: "Fueled by alcohol and mixed with eccentric and rambunctious personalities, it is a delightful tale, and a must-read to the end."
