› Find signed collectible books: 'Cold Feet'Book summary:Say "I do" to five surprising stories of women grappling with love and marriage and whether to walk down the aisle or run away. In Elise Juska's "Perfect Weather for Driving," Megan and Joel's sunset fender-bender makes for a great drunken story at his friend's wedding, but the reality is hardly romantic. Stuck in a New England hotel waiting for the verdict on their Volvo, the two are forced to take stock of their own damaged relationship -- and whether it's too late to fix it.
In Tara McCarthy's "Losing California," engaged surfer Alison is convinced that Michael Madsen -- a member of her favorite band -- is her soul mate. Unfortunately, he's not her fiancé. So Alison flies to Nova Scotia, where Michael lives, because she's either right or she's wrong -- and she better find out before the wedding.
The bride-to-be in Pamela Ribon's "Sara King Goes Bad" has always done the right thing but decides it's important to know what it feels like to be reckless for once. And so two weeks before her wedding, she indulges in an unforgettable night of sex, drugs, and petty crime.
In Heather Swain's "The Happiest Day of Your Life," Annie and Ben plan a simple ceremony at an apple orchard. But when Annie loses perspective -- and everything that can go wrong does -- she's forced to rethink why she wanted a wedding in the first place.
The "Emily & Jules" of Lisa Tucker's story are two lonely people who meet on an online bulletin board for agoraphobics. But when Emily is invited to her estranged brother's wedding -- and it's clear across the country -- both she and Jules may be forced to change their ways.
Will any of these heroines get to the church on time? Cozy up with Cold Feet and find out. [via]More editions of Cold Feet:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Song Reader'Book summary:Two sisters, Leeann and Mary Beth, have the debut novel The Song Reader firmly in their grip. Author Lisa Tucker seems almost entranced by her main characters, a teenager and her older sister whose mother is dead and father has disappeared. They've put together a cheery and eccentric life in their small midwestern hometown. Mary Beth--beautiful, empathetic and smart--practices an art she calls song reading. Clients come to her and tell her the songs that are stuck in their head, and she decodes the song to help them with their problems. Says her little sister Leeann, the novel's narrator: "She could take a customer who had all kinds of problems--poverty and family quarrels and lost love and even illness--and point her finger at the one thing that, if they found it and dealt with it, would give them the strength to handle all the rest." Leeann sees Mary Beth's song reading--and everything else about her sister--as admirable and glorious. But Mary Beth's gift leads her to a secret truth about a prominent neighbor, and the fragile structure of the girls' orphaned life comes tumbling down. Each secret seems to domino another until the sisters' whole complex emotional history is laid bare. The Song Reader can be a little willfully twee with its wacky characters and unlikely scenarios, but Tucker has so thoroughly imagined her protagonists' psychological workings that the book exerts an undeniable pull. --Claire Dederer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Song Reader'Book summary:Sage mir, was du singst, und ich sage dir, was du bist. Für Mary Beth aus der beschaulichen Kleinstadt Tainer im Süden der USA jedenfalls sagt ein Lied mehr als tausend Worte. Beth ist mit dem Talent gesegnet, aus den Songs im Kopf ihrer Mitmenschen deren Seele zu entschlüsseln und ihre Ängste, aber auch ihre verborgenen Sehnsüchte aufzudecken. Auf diese Weise hat sie als "Song Reader" schon vielen ihrer Kunden zu einem glücklicheren Leben verholfen -- bewundert nicht nur von ihrer 12 Jahre jüngeren Schwester Leeann, die den Leser als Ich-Erzählerin durch Lisa Tuckers faszinierenden Debütroman geleitet.
Aber Beths Fähigkeit ist auch gefährlich. Das muss sie erkennen, als sie das streng behütete Geheimnis einer "Patientin" lüftet, alte Wunden aufreißt und ganz Tainer in Aufruhr und Unruhe versetzt. Jetzt ist Leeann gefragt, die sich zur Rettung der Familie auf die Suche nach dem lange schon verschollenen Vater macht -- und dabei entdecken muss, dass auch die große Schwester nicht jene Traumfrau ist, für die sie sie immer gehalten hat.
In Tuckers Song Reader steckt jede Menge sprachlicher Musik. Jazz, um genau zu sein, denn als Sängerin einer Jazzband hat Tucker einst ihr Geld verdient. Song Reader ist eine aufwühlende, psychologisch klug durchdachte Geschichte über verlorene Träume, das Erwachsenwerden und die Macht der Lieder. Hochpoetisch und erschütternd zugleich. --Isa Gerck [via]
