The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel |
 Recovered by Lily Koppel, a young writer working at the New York Times, from a Dumpster on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the journal paints a vivid picture of 1930s New York–horseback riding in Central Park, summer excursions to the Catskills, and an obsession with a famous avant-garde actress. From 1929 to 1934, not a single day's entry is skipped. Evocative and entrancing, The Red Leather Diary re-creates the romance and glitter, sophistication and promise, of 1930s New York, bringing to life the true story of a precocious young woman who dared to follow her dreams. |

It's Just a Date by Greg Behrendt |
 What ever happened to dating? Used to be that a guy would ask a girl out. He'd pick her up at her house and take her out for dinner, a movie, or a cup of coffee and some conversation. Then both parties would decide if they wanted to do it again next week. There was protocol. A standard set of guidelines to follow for this age-old ritual. These days who even knows what dating is? The book shows us how things have changed on the dating scene and what we need to do to adapt, including how the digital age has changed dating, from texting to online dating. Dating doesn't have to be hard, in fact if not taken so seriously, it can be seriously fun. |
