<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alison Meridith Heart is a different kind of female: not masculine, not feminine, but somewhere right in between, a 'one off'. She thinks like a man but has the emotions of a woman - a deadly combination. Long brown hair, hazel eyes, lanky, t-shirted, blue jeaned, cowboy booted, and a guitar player in a band of guys who call themselves The Rough Edges - a band she would quickly surpass in talent. Alison takes us through her life from Cleveland, to New York, to London, to Miami, from marriage to affair, from great happiness to great tragedy. It is a journey through the music business, and a journey through her heart - too much heart if the truth be known. Follow her through the emotional upheaval her life represents. She is a stranger in her own body, who unwittingly discovers 'why' she has always felt this way. The Hurricane blows in...'and nothing will ever be the same again'."</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"It was supposed to be the best summer of her life. Instead, seventeen-year-old Lucy finds her best friend, Harper, shot dead in an LA swimming pool. How did things ever go so wrong? The story circles back to trace the steps that led to this disaster.<br /><br />
Only Harper McKenzie could have taken five girls from their school and reinvented them as Crush, the top prospect to win the international talent contest Project Next. As soon as the band finds its footing, it scores a huge win in the UK semifinal. Next stop, LA!<br /><br />
The girls will spend a luxurious summer in Hollywood, living as reality TV stars while they prepare for their performance in the Project Next final. With a mansion to themselves, they’re the toast of the town … living every girl’s dream come true.<br /><br />
It’s way too late when Lucy discovers that Harper’s heart has never been in Project Next at all. Joining the competition was just part of Harper’s elaborate ruse to reconnect with her no-good ex-boyfriend. Harper will risk anything — from her friendships to the band’s reputation — to get him back.<br /><br />
Meanwhile, the other members of Crush are throwing themselves headfirst into sex, drugs and rock and roll. With the band in crisis and the final approaching, Lucy must decide whether she wants to play to Harper’s beat or set the rhythm for the rest of the band.<br /><br />
This fast-paced story takes unexpected twists, unraveling the mystery of Harper’s murder and exploring the complicated relationships among members of the band. Writing team Marie Powell and Jeff Norton — with many years in the entertainment business between them — deliver one-part wish fulfillment and one-part cautionary tale as they go behind the scenes to reveal what no one sees on “reality” TV."

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I remained convinced that my original theory was correct: there were some records that were never heard on planet Earth unless I (or James) happened to be playing them.</i>
<br /><br />
Two men with a passion for vinyl create a society for the appreciation of records. Their aim is simple: to elevate the art of listening by doing so in forensic detail. The society enjoys moderate success in the back room of their local pub, The Half Moon, with other enthusiasts drawn to the initial promise of the weekly gathering.
<br /><br />
However, as the club gains popularity, its founders' uncompromising dogma results in a schism--and soon a counter group forms. Then the arrival of a young woman called Alice further fractures the unity of the vulnerable society. As rifts are forged and gulfs widen, Magnus Mills, the master of comic deadpan, humorously examines the surreal nature of ordinary lives.</span></blockquote>

A musician known only as N. writes the first of a series of letters to the enigmatic Angel of Dust. N.'s jazz sextet, Molimo m Atet, has just rehearsed a new tune: the horn players read from The Egyptian Book of the Dead with lips clothespinned shut, while the rest of the band struts and saunters in a cosmic hymn to the sun god Ra. N. ends this breathless session by sending the Angel of Dust a cassette tape of their rehearsal. <br /><br />Over the next nine months, N.'s epistolary narration follows the musical goings-on of the ensemble. N. suffers from what he calls "cowrie shell at- tacks oil spills", N.'s memory of his mother s melancholy musical Sundays which all becomes the source of fresh artistic invention. <br /><br />Here is the newest installment of the National Book Award-winner Nathaniel Mackey's From a Broken Bottle Traces of Perfume Still Emanate, the great American jazz novel of exquisite rhythmic lyricism.<br /><br /> <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ac&ref=qf_sp_asin_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=marillionlyri-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=0811226603&asins=0811226603&linkId=053a09a2a0962e21c03374243e2584fd&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true&price_color=ffffff&title_color=dd7700&bg_color=3d3d3d" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The bestselling author of "White Collar Girl" and "What the Lady Wants" explores one woman's journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of a musical and social revolution.<br /><br />
In the middle of the twentieth century, the music of the Mississippi Delta arrived in Chicago, drawing the attention of entrepreneurs like the Chess brothers. Their label, Chess Records, helped shape that music into the Chicago Blues, the soundtrack for a transformative era in American History.<br /><br />
But, for Leeba Groski, Chess Records was just where she worked...<br /><br />
Leeba doesn't exactly fit in, but her passion for music and her talented piano playing captures the attention of her neighbor, Leonard Chess, who offers her a job at his new record company. What begins as answering phones and filing becomes much more as Leeba comes into her own as a songwriter and befriends performers like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Chuck Berry, and Etta James. But she also finds love with a black blues guitarist named Red Dupree.<br /><br />
With their relationship unwelcome in segregated Chicago and shunned by Leeba's Orthodox Jewish family, she and Red soon find themselves in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement and they discover that, in times of struggle, music can bring people together. </span></blockquote>

Or that the cute, grungy-looking guy she meets at a gig that evening is Adam Copeland. As in the Adam Copeland international rock god and object of lust for a million women. Make that a million and one. By the time she learns the truth, she s already spent the (amazing, incredible) night in his bed.

Suddenly Eden, who's more accustomed to being set up on disastrous dates by her mom, is going out with a gorgeous celebrity who loves how down-to-earth and honest she is. But for once, Eden isn't being honest. She can't bear to reveal that this overpowering attraction could be nothing more than seduction by science. And the only way to know how Adam truly feels is to ditch the perfume—and risk being ditched in turn.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=baldyslaphead-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=1496708067&asins=1496708067&linkId=25a2fa6820f2bbb693ecbb7f6cc27104&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Peter Ham—all of them iconic rock stars, all of them dead at age twenty-seven. How could a group of great musicians all die at the same age? All evidence points to the deaths being unrelated, but were they really?
<br /><br />Gantry Elliot is a relic of rock and roll era still writing for Rolling Stone magazine—covering “classic” rock and roll and struggling for relevance in the age of hip-hop and electronic dance music. Even though he’s an encyclopedia of music trivia, Gantry can’t compete with the new kids on the block and is now reduced to watching the clock tick down on his once dynamic career. But Gantry’s vast knowledge may be the only thing that can unravel the mystery of 27.<br /><br />When anonymous packages start showing up at his office and then his home, Gantry initially shrugs them off as another Club of 27 conspiracy nerd trying to get attention. But as the clues became more intimate, more personal, more sinister, he realizes this is not a game: someone knows the truth, and the truth may put Gantry’s life in serious danger.<br /><br />Aptly called, “'The Da Vinci Code' for rock and roll fans,” author Chris Formant has written a terrific debut novel that creatively and deftly takes readers on a dangerous cold case hunt to uncover the mystery behind these deaths. Truth or fiction, lies or conspiracy, 'Bright Midnight' will keep you guessing until its final chorus.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A stunning debut from a fresh Nigerian literary voice: a mesmerizing, deceptively simple, Kafkaesque narrative, resonant of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and lightly informed by the life of Nigerian musical superstar Fela Kuti--a powerful story of love, sacrifice, and courage. <br /><br />The day a stained brown envelope reaches Taduno from his homeland, he knows that the time has come to return from exile. Arriving full of hope, the musician discovers that his people no longer recognize him and no one recalls his voice. His girlfriend, Lela, has disappeared, abducted by government agents. He wanders through his house in search of clues but all traces of his old life have been erased. <br /><br />As he becomes aware that all that is left of himself is an emptiness, Taduno finds new purpose: to unravel the mystery of his lost life and find his lost love. But soon he must face a difficult decision: to fight the power or save his woman, to sing for love or for his people</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is the spring of 1989 in New York City when Jill Dodge, a post-punk rocker from Texas, finally gets her big promotion at Mega Big Records. She is thrust into a race to find a gritty, urban rapper before the Gangsta trend passes their label by. As Jill and her mostly middle-class coworkers search for the next big rap star, they fluctuate between alliances and rivalries, tripping over the stereotypes of race, class, and musical genre. They work to promote their current roster of acts as well as the new rap artist they sign to a contract. It turns out, he may not be what they expected. Full of original lyrics and wit, Start With the Backbeat is a compelling examination of the nuances of class, race, and culture in America which are sometimes ridiculously serious.</span></blockquote>

But murder has a different agenda; and before the ship reaches port in the Grand Palm Islands, it strikes, considerably dampening the spirits of those aboard. As usual, Rennie has recourse and resources that the rest do not: she jumps ship to go join her fiancé, superstar English guitarist Turk Wayland, on his family’s neighboring private island, where he rules in his other identity as Richard Tarrant, twenty-first Marquess of Raxton, and where she can set herself to clear the Weezles’ name.<br /><br />
And where the danger not only follows her but is already there...</span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Set in London, beginning in the early sixties and spanning five decades, I Shot Bruce follows Vijay Asunder, a rock-and-roll wannabe who, many decades after he is spurned by the manager of a singing group that eventually becomes world-famous, finally decides that he must kill the one person that symbolizes the success that has eluded him, his replacement. During a fifty-year span of time, Asunder follows the fortunes of the band and its various members as he pursues the alternate and ever-so-quiet, but not-very-satisfying life he's made for himself as an antique dealer. Yet with each passing year, and with each reminder of "what might have been", his obsession for revenge grows, until finally he must act. Conceived loosely on the untimely dismissal and subsequent life of Pete Best, the so-called 'fifth Beatle', Asunder's perspective and his ultimate commitment to retribution differs markedly from Ringo Starr's predecessor. Intelligent and intense, I Shot Bruce chronicles and dramatizes obsession to the point of self-destruction.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=marillionlyri-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B01BMDOQHG&asins=B01BMDOQHG&linkId=ad0655abad1e8cf0b3040ef5b2f6269a&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true&price_color=ffffff&title_color=dd7700&bg_color=3d3d3d" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">

Then, one day, she simply vanishes.<br /><br />Meanwhile, journalist Jack Parlabane has lost everything: his career, his marriage, his self-respect. A call for help from an old friend offers a chance for redemption — but only if he can find out what happened to Heike. Pursued by those who would punish him for past crimes, Parlabane enters the secret-filled world of Heike’s band, Savage Earth Heart, a group at breaking point. Each of its members seems to be hiding something, not least its newest recruit Monica Halcrow, whose alleged relationship with Heike has become a public obsession.<br /><br />Monica’s own story, however, reveals a far darker truth. Fixated on Heike from day one, she has been engulfed by paranoia, jealousy and fear, as she discovers the hidden price of fame. From Berlin to Barcelona, from the streets of Milan to remote Scottish islands, Parlabane must dredge up old secrets to find Heike before it’s too late.</span></blockquote>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Spoiler Free Review:</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Brookmyre's unorthodox investigative-journalist Jack Parlabane
has starred in five novels prior to this one, but as a more comic character.
Since dropping the 'opher' from his first name, Brookmyre's novels have been
grittier and less blackly humourous, and this Parlabane is one that's smarting
from a good kicking from being hung out to dry at Leveson and a relationship
break up. Chastened, humbled and desperate provides a new angle for the
lead character, and it works well.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Parlabane is hired to investigate the disappearance of the
lead singer of a rapidly-rising folk-rock band, Savage Earth Heart. The book
alternates chapters of Parlabane's investigation with chapters from the blog
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the band's new fiddle player Monica.
Monica as the wide-eyed ingénue, trying to get to grips with the change from
the classical to the rock world, provides the reader's route into the world of
the touring rock band.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Through Monica's eyes we learn about the sex and drugs and
rock and roll on the road. The rock and roll is done pretty well. Rather than
compose lyrics for the band and demand we admire their profundity, or go into
great detail about which mode the musicians are in, Brookmyre pulls out
specific incidents from the gigs to concentrate on, preferring to make it about
the human interaction in the midst of music making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pre-disappearance lead singer Heike is rather puritanical
about drugs, and while there is drug-taking, it's always pretty furtive even
when taking place within the band environment. There are established plot
reasons for Heike's attitude, but it doesn't ring entirely true.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for the sex, I have to be a little careful here less I
blow a significant plot point. We see a band member ensnaring women with
well-honed lines and cynical ease, but not only are we painfully aware how
joyless these liaisons are, but the band member seems not to be enjoying it
either.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is not a band enjoying the supposed benefits of its
popularity, no matter how decadent the reader might think them, but one whose
pleasures seem tainted by self-consciousness and guilt. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The entourage that surrounds the band on tour is a little
unusual; they operate very much at a distance and seemingly corporately. While
the music industry has undoubtedly become more corporate over the past few
decades, that's not really how bands tour. There seems to be no one whose role
is to take care of the talent. No one to massage their egos and keep the
investment happy. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Given this is a band that's on the up and up, this doesn't
quite seem right. There might be a comedown ahead, but it shouldn't be kicking
in quite so soon. Even if there are reasons why not everything is operating
quite as it should. In interviews, Brookmyre stated he wanted to examine
"the media's predatory attitude to women, especially female celebrities in
rock 'n' roll".</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Parlabane's search for Heike, particularly the action pieces
based in Berlin, work well, and the reader is both thrilled by his daring
exploits as they are trying to work out what's happened to Heike. Fiddle player
Monica is an intriguing character that the reader really cares about, and her
complex relationship with her band leader is interesting and convincing. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Brookmyre's plotting is as tight as ever, and the book is eminently
readable. While there are some wrong notes in the portrayal of the band, none
are unforgiveable. I'm aware I've made a few negative comments, but I really
enjoyed this book, as I have all of Brookmyre's previous works, but I must end
on one more criticism. Savage Earth Heart feels like a band out of time. You could
just about imagine a folk rock band making it big during the late 80s, early
90s, but in 2016..?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Reporter Rennie Stride and her superstar guitar-stud and part-time aristocrat fiance, Turk Wayland, have settled down in a historic brownstone in New York's East Village, following Turk's band Lionheart's epic tour closer--a shockingly spectacular four-hour Madison Square Garden concert.<br /><br />
Even more shocking: two dead people in a snow-filled cemetery, and they didn't end up there the way you'd think. More shocking still: Lionheart's lead singer, Niles Clay, comes pounding on Rennie and Turk's door the day after the Garden concert, confessing that he may have been the one who killed them. Nothing new for Murder Chick....<br /><br />
So Rennie's task, at Turk's desperate behest, is to prove Niles didn't do it. Though since the two loathe, detest, hate and despise each other, that may be more of a problem than any of them thinks....

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From Frank Portman comes the long-awaited sequel to the beloved cult classic King Dork, of which John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, said, “Basically, if you are a human being with even a vague grasp of the English language, King Dork will rock your world.”
Aside from the stitches and the head wound, Tom Henderson is the same old King Dork. He's still trying to work out who to blame for the new scar on his forehead, the memory loss, and his father's mysterious death. But illicit female hospital visitations, The Catcher in the Rye, and the Hillmont High sex-pocalypse have made him a new man.<br /><br />
What doesn't make you stronger can kill you, though, and tenth grade, act two, promises to be a killer. Tom's down one bloodstained army coat, one Little Big Tom, and two secret semi-imaginary girlfriends. Now his most deeply held beliefs about alphabetical-order friendship, recycling, school spirit, girls, rock and roll, the stitching on jeans, the Catcher Code, and the structure of the universe are about to explode in his face. If only a female robot's notes could solve the world's problems, he'd have a chance. But how likely is that?<br /><br />
