NPR Books Watch — 11/14-11/20
Here are the NPR interviews for this week. Anyone who emails me the imprints of all the books listed (or houses if no imprint is available) will win the NPR Books Grid for the prior week that includes, in addition to the information below, interviewer, pub date, imprint, post-interview Amazon ranking, pre-interview ranking (if the book was mentioned on Shelf Awareness and I was able to look up the number before the interview), and interview hyperlink.
***
There were 24 book stories collectively on the national NPR shows this week, which is encouraging, since the number is sometimes under 20, but only 15 of those stories were interviews with authors. Other book-related stories ranged from Obama’s love of comics to travel to Forks, WA (where the vampires live for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years) to Quidditch competitions. (I didn’t listen to the story so I’m not quite sure how they work around the flying bit …)
