"The Nobodies Album" by Carolyn Parkhurst

One of the first books I read after I started this blog in 2006 was Lost and Found, by Carolyn Parkhurst. It was a fictionalized account of a TV competition show based on "The Amazing Race". Here was my review. While I found a few faults with the book, I did enjoy it. (It's so funny to read old reviews - I was such a newbie blogger back then!)

Parkhurst has a new book coming out in June, and I just got a review copy in the mail, thanks to Doubleday. (Hi FTC!). It's called The Nobodies Album, and here is the blurb from the marketing department at Doubleday: "Carolyn's novel is a terrific story about a successful writer, Octavia Frost, who learns that her son is accused of his girlfriend's murder via (of all things) the news feed in Times Square.  Even though they have been estranged, she travels to California to be with him.  As they try to patch up their relationship, surprising facts about the murder emerge."

I like the sound of this book, and I like the author. So this is going in the TBR pile! I will let you know how I like it!

I just featured this in last week's Waiting on Wednesday post. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Such a unique premise...can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks for the heads-up on this - Carolyn Parkhurst is one of my favorites, and I'm glad to know she has something new on the way!

I got a copy of this one too and can't wait to read it. I really enjoyed Lost and Found, but I am also a diehard Amazing Race fan. Enjoy!

If you like this book when you read it - you should read The Dogs of Babel - I read it for a book club in my former life (with my former mother-in-law) and it was an incredible story!

The Dogs of Babel WAS a good book, but it's tough to read if you're a dog lover...
