Dec. 21 –

a) Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb, 432 pages

“Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Now you can find out, as therapist and New York Times bestselling author Lori Gottlieb takes us behind the scenes of her practice ― where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). When a personal crisis causes her world to come crashing down, Lori Gottlieb ― an experienced therapist with a thriving practice in Los Angeles ― is suddenly adrift. Enter Wendell, himself a veteran therapist with an unconventional style, whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove transformative for her.”

b) The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson, 128 pages

From the Author: “I began writing very early — poems, plays, stories — and just never quit. I attended local schools and then, being both book-struck and stage-struck, found a college — Allegheny College — where I could satisfy both passions.

I’ve been a short story writer, with some forty-fifty stories in McCall’s, Ladies’ Home Journal, Redbook, etc.; a playwright; an occasional poet, and finally and most happily, an author of children’s books…happily, because there’s no greater audience than boys and girls who read books and demand that those books be the most exciting, the most mysterious, the most touching, the funniest…the Best.

I live and write in a suburb of Philadelphia, and I have two daughters — Carolyn, who is a nurse, and Marjorie, who is a sixth-grade teacher and at home now with my grandchildren Tomas and Marcos, and all these people read books like crazy!”
