This morning on Today, bestselling DIY duo Stephanie Glakas-Tenet and Julie Sussman tackled Dare to Repair, Replace & Renovate: Do-It-Herself Projects to Make Your Home More Comfortable, More Beautiful & More Valuable! (Harper, 978-0061343858, $16.99).
Good Morning America profiled L.A. rock author Pamela Des Barres, author of Let's Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies (Chicago Review Press, 978-1556527890, $16.95), which PW called a “breathlessly gossipy scrapbook.”
On All Things Considered : Caroline Moorehead, whose Dancing to the Precipice: The Life of Lucie de la Tour du Pin, Eyewitness to an Era (Harper, 978-0061684418, $27.99) pubs next week.
Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show :
- Journalist Michela Wrong with It's Our Turn to Eat: The Story of a Kenyan Whistle-Blower (Harper, 978-0061346583, $25.99), her story of Kenyan anti-corruption crusader John Githongo. PW found it a “gripping profile. Githongo's saga highlights this pan-African problem and addresses possibilities for change.”
- Longtime Washington Post reporter Bradley Graham, author of By His Own Rules: The Story of Donald Rumsfeld (PublicAffairs, 978-1586484217, $35).
Authors on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet :
- Alec Greven, whose latest is How to Talk to Dads (Collins, 978-0061729300, $9.99). PW thought “While the dad characteristics aren't universal, with [illustrator] Acedera's understated line art and an attractive design, this is a tailor-made gift.”
- UK dog trainer Victoria Stilwell, author of It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet (Hyperion, 978-1401308551, $17.95).
On What’s the 411? with Sharon Kay, Dr. Myles Munroe explains The Principles and Benefits of Change (Whitaker House, 978-1603740975, $19.99).
Due to the nature of live programming, scheduling is subject to change.
