New and Notable Releases
The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two), by Phil Szostak
This gorgeous coffee table book for fans of that fun spaghetti Western in space showcases the fabulous art and imaginations of Doug Chiang and the other creative artists at Lucasfilm.
The Duchess Countess: The Woman Who Scandalized Eighteenth-Century London by Catherine Ostler
Named maid of honor to Augusta, Princess of Wales, in 1743, Elizabeth Chudleigh was the inspiration for the shrewd antiheroine of William Thackery’s Vanity Fair. This larger-than-life figure was “duchess, countess, courtier, socialite, hostess, mariner, property developer, celebrity, vodka distiller, press manipulator, arts patron, bigamist.”
That’s quite a resume.
The Paris Apartment: A Novel, by Lucy Foley
A thrilling nail-biting, locked-room guaranteed to be just as satisfying as the author’s previous delicious guilty pleasures: The Hunting Party and The Guest List.
Moon Witch, Spider King (The Dark Star Trilogy), by Marlon James
This sequel to Black Leopard, Red Wolf has the epic sweep, intensely layered structure, and raw if luscious language his readers have come to expect, and it was a National Book Award finalist and New York Times best seller. For readers of fantasy and literary fiction alike, this should be another grand thrill.
